Patent EP-0759166-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TUCKER JAMES R
IPC: G01N29/44
Filed: 1995-05-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing ultrasonic spectroscopy provides for rapid evaluation of test materials with good amplitude, balanced response at all test frequencies. A swept frequency signal is generated which is applied to a transmit transducer coupled to a test part. A receive transducer provides a detected signal that is fully digitized for real-time or post signal processing. The created swept frequency signal can be equalized from data obtained from direct coupling between transmit and receive transducers. The resultant data is analyzed for amplitude and/or phase information as a function of frequency and can be used to analyze filter characteristics, identify resonances, characterize material signatures and many other applications.

Inventor: SWISHER DAVID R
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: The present invention provides for an improved airflow sensitive float valve (38) interposed between the collection chamber (15) and one arm of the water seal chamber (16) for allowing the patient to draw as much vacuum pressure as is required during deep inspiration. The float valve also functions to provide for an automatic controlled release of excess negtive pressure in the collection chamber during either continuous auto-transfusion or when there is a low airflow rate condition present. By tailoring a specific amount of water to a given size chamber, the water column inside the water seal chamber is allowed to momentarily engage the floating mechanism before the water seal chamber is emptied of water, and a column of air is subsequently forced through the water column towards the momentarily sealed valve.

Abstract: A pipe joint has a sleeve element (1, 23) and a spigot element (6, 7, 22). According to the invention, stresses are no longer absorbed only by the abutment, but mainly by the thread of the pipe joint. By appropriately selecting pitches and gaps between teeth in one element, the guiding flank at one end is braced against the flank under load at the other end of the thread. The bracing force is the highest at the edges of the thread and decreases towards the middle of the thread.

Title: Circuit de compensation thermique pour element a effet de hall
Inventor: KIRKPATRICK RICHARD A II
IPC: G01D5/18
Filed: 1995-07-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne un circuit de compensation thermique destiné à être utilisé avec un élément à effet de Hall et dans lequel les résistances de compensation thermique (48, 49) ou les résistances épitaxiales ne sont pas placées dans la boucle de signal en tant que parties intégrantes des boucles de réaction des amplificateurs. Avec ce circuit, on obtient un degré de linéarité et de compensation thermique plus élevé sans les inconvénients présentés normalement par les potentiels de tension variables dans les résistances épitaxiales. Dans un mode de réalisation du circuit, on prévoit un moyen de fixation de niveau ou de troncature de la tension de sortie du circuit selon un pourcentage sélectionné de la tension d'alimentation, même si la tension d'alimentation peut varier pendant le fonctionnement du dispositif. Ce circuit est équipé de plusieurs résistances ajustables (RN C1, RN C2) qui permettent d'en assurer l'ajustement final et de compenser les variations individuelles d'un composant à l'autre.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a self-aligned borderless contact in a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a first conductor level, a patterned conductor level defining a pair of spaced apart conducting segments, and a dielectric insulating layer disposed between the first conductor level and the patterned conductor level, and over the pair of spaced apart conducting segments of the patterned conductor level. The method comprises the steps of etching a contact hole in a selected region of the dielectric insulating layer which lies above and is substantially aligned between the pair of the segments. The etching continues through the dielectric insulating layer so that a portion of the dielectric insulating layer remains between the contact hole and the first conductor level. A spacer is formed which lines the contact hole. The remaining portion of the insulating layer which extends between the contact hole and the first conductor level is then etched to extend the contact hole to the first conductor level. The spacer substantially prevents the erosion of the pair of spaced apart segments during the etching of the remaining portion of the insulating layer. The contact hole is then filled with a conductive material to form the self-aligned borderless contact. The borderless contact formed by the present method is electrically isolated from the pair of spaced apart conducting segments of the patterned conductor level by the dielectric insulating layer.
