Abstract: The present invention generally provides a method of forming a structure having a selective
CVD metal plug with a continuous barrier layer formed thereon. More particularly, the present
invention applies a thin layer of warm PVD metal over a selective CVD metal plug and adjacent
nodules on the dielectric field to planarize the metal surface. A barrier is then deposited over the
planarized metal surface. Therefore, the invention provides the advantages of having (1) void-free,
sub-half micron selective CVD metal via plugs and interconnects, and (2) a reduced number of
process steps without the use of CMP, and (3) barrier layers over the metal plugs to improve the
electromigration resistance of the metal.

Abstract: The arrangement has a device (11,12) for the temporary storage and readout of data packets for individual links and for extraction of a data packet clock. An evaluation unit (20) determines the time at which the last data packet was read out, the declared traffic parameters and the priority (PRIO) of a rank to be used for the selection of the next data packet to be readout. The determined ranks are stored (25) and used to control the readout of data packets from the temporary memories for the individual links.

Abstract: The method involves using an inductive sensor arrangement which comprises a primary coil and a secondary coil, whose field is traversed by a coin. The primary coil is supplied with a periodical transmitter signal which contains preferably harmonics, and an evaluation circuit evaluates the signals of the secondary coil to produce an acceptance- or rejection signal. A periodically recurring section of the transmitter signal is associated with an amount of switching steps, envelope curves are formed from the values of the reception signal of secondary coil at the respective recurring switching steps, and the evaluation circuit forms at least one criterion for the acceptance- or rejection signal from the amount of contemporaneously produced envelope curves.

IPC: H04L29/12

Abstract: A configuration agent allows a network node seeking to be automatically
configured with an IP address and a default gateway address to be configured as its own
gateway. In first and second embodiments of the present invention, the configuration agent
resides on a network device (such as a switch or bridge) that is coupled to two network
segments, with one network segments including a node to be configured and another
network segment including a server capable of automatically providing configuration
parameters. In the first embodiment, the configuration agent acts as a snoopy agent.
Messages from the configuration server to the node to be configured are "snooped" to
discover messages containing an IP address and a default gateway address. Such messages
are altered to copy the IP addresses offered to the nodes seeking configuration to the default
gateway addresses, and the messages are sent on their way, thereby causing the node seeking
to be configured to be its own default gateway. In the second embodiment of the invention,
the configuration acts as a proxy agent. From the point of view of the node to be configured,
the proxy agent appears to be a configuration agent. From the point of view of the
configuration server, the proxy agent appears to be a relay agent if the configuration server
and the node to be configured are on different subnets. When the configuration server sends
messages to the node to be configured (possibly treating the proxy agent as a relay agent),
the proxy agent intercepts the message and copies the offered IP address to the default
gateway address in the message, thereby causing the node seeking to be configured to be
configured as its own gateway. The proxy agent also substitutes its IP address for the IP
address of the actual configuration server, thereby causing the node seeking to be configured
to treat the proxy agent as the configuration agent.

cap, the head valve, the seal, the piston and the driver
bit can all be removed together from the housing.

Abstract: Animals are produced following injection of adult somatic cell nuclei into enucleated oocytes. The invention provides a method for cloning an animal by directly inserting at least a portion of the adult somatic nucleus (including the minimum chromosomal material able to support development) into a recipient enucleated oocyte. Preferably, the nucleus is inserted by microinjection and, more preferably, by piezo electrically-actuated microinjection. The oocyte is activated prior to, during, or up to about 6 hours after insertion of the nucleus, by electroactivation or exposure to a chemical activating agent, such as Sr2+. The activated renucleated oocyte is allowed to develop into an embryo and is transplanted to a host surrogate mother to develop into a live offspring.
