Patent EP-0798776-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EGAWA HIDEMITSU
IPC: H01L21/762
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: A trench 13 is formed to isolate a first region 11a and a second region 11b where elements of a semiconductor substrate 11 such as a silicon substrate are formed, and a lamination layer of a first silicon oxide layer 14 having a silicon excess stoichiometry (SiO x ; 2<x) and a second silicon oxide layer 15 (SiO 2 ) having an equilibrium composition is filled in the trench 13. The second silicon oxide layer is hydrated. In addition, by heating the semiconductor substrate 11, the first silicon oxide layer 14 is oxidized into the second silicon oxide layer 15 (SiO 2 ) having an equilibrium composition. At this time, the first silicon oxide layer 14 has its volume expanded while it is oxidized into the second silicon oxide layer 15 having an equilibrium composition, while the second silicon oxide layer 15 is contracted due to dehydration by the heating treatment and removal of a defective lattice. Therefore, the volume expansion of the first silicon oxide layer 14 is offset by the volume contraction of the second silicon oxide layer 15 to reduce extensively a stress to be applied to the semiconductor substrate 11, so that the silicon oxide layer filled in the trench 13 can be densified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a slider (2) of a linear guide device for guiding a movable body such as a work table or an industrial robot or the like of a machine tool under load which moves along a track rail (1) arranged at a fixed portion such as a bed, a column or the like. The method comprises a first step of forming a block main body (8) made of a metal which becomes a core part of the slider (2) in a predetermined shape, and forming ball load rolling surfaces (43a,43b) on the block main body (18) by machine, and a second step of inserting the block main body (8) formed in the first step into a mold (61) and executing an injection molding of a synthetic resin by which ball retaining portions (45) are built on both sides of the load rolling surfaces (43a,43b) of the block main body (8). In the first step pairs of smooth surfaces (5) for shielding the molten synthetic resin are formed along both longitudinal edges of the load rolling surfaces (43a,43b) formed on block main body (8) whereas according to the second step the block main body (8) is fixed at a predetermined position in the mold (61) by bringing a projected support portion (63) on the side of the mold (61) into contact with the smooth surfaces (50) for shielding the molten synthetic resin.

IPC: F04B19/00

Abstract: The present invention provides for techniques for
transporting materials using electrokinetic forces through the
channels of a microfluidic system. The subject materials are
transported in regions of high ionic concentration, next to
spacer material regions of high ionic concentration, which are
separated by spacer material regions of low ionic
concentration. Such arrangements allow the materials to
remain localized for the transport transit time to avoid
mixing of the materials. Using these techniques, an
electropipettor which is compatible with the microfluidic
system is created so that materials can be easily introduced
into the microfluidic system. The present invention also
compensates for electrophoretic bias as materials are
transported through the channels of the microfluidic system by
splitting a channel into portions with positive and negative
surface charges and a third electrode between the two
portions, or by diffusion of the electrophoresing materials
after transport along a channel.

Abstract: Conventional optical gratings are relatively temperature sensitive. This
sensitivity is generally undesirable but can be reduced or eliminated by attaching the
grating to a support member (11) having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion.
Exemplarily the member comprises Zr-tungstate and/or Hf-tungstate. The thermal
expansion can be tailored by admixture of positive expansion coefficient material
(e.g., Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 ) to the negative expansion coefficient material (e.g., ZrW 2 O 8 ),
or by a variety of other techniques.

Abstract: A call originating in the Internet network (102) is converted by a
gateway (104) into a telephone call and is completed to a call center (106) as a
conventional inbound call including caller identification. An Internet user who has
accessed a World Wide Web (WWW) home page (114) of a call center customer
indicates a desire to speak to a call center agent by activating a "call" virtual button
(115) of the home page by means of the WWW browser (101) of the user's Internet
phone (99)-equipped client (100). The WWW server (103) of the home page
responds by sending an executable applet (117) and the call center's telephone
number (116) to the client (100). The client executes the applet to obtain the user's
telephone number from the user, to establish an Internet connection between the
Internet phone (99) and the gateway, and to provide the user's and call center's
telephone numbers to the gateway. The gateway uses the phone numbers to establish
a call to the call center through the telephone network (105). It provides the user's
telephone number to the call center as the calling telephone number (119) by
including it in a field (e.g., ANI) of the ISDN call SETUP message (118). The
gateway also interfaces the Internet connection with the telephone call. The call
center uses the calling number to effect a screen pop at the agent position (109-110)
of the agent assigned to handle the call.

Abstract: A time division multiple access receiver, such as a mobile unit, is adapted to transmission conditions by using an encoded redundant information contained in bursts of a frame sequence. Once the information contained in a message block is decoded, significant functional groups in the receiver are cut from the power supply until the following message block arrives. Only a number of bursts are decoded, but if the decoding process does not succeed, it is extended to a larger number of bursts.

Abstract: A non-contact data carrier includes a battery (29),
an electric-supply circuit (4) for rectifying a received
carrier signal and generating power, and an electric-supply
switching circuit (9) for comparing the voltage of the
battery and the voltage generated by the electric-supply
circuit and selecting either one of the voltages. When the
battery (29) can supply power, long-distance communication
can be performed by supplying power from the battery. In case
of battery exhaustion, power is supplied from the electric-supply
circuit (4) which receives a stronger carrier signal
by using the non-contact IC card in the proximity of a
question unit and rectifies the carrier signal, so that the
function of the non-contact data carrier is maintained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for the production of shells of fat-containing
chocolate-like mass, whereby an amount of liquid mass is deposited into
a mould cavity. The mould cavity containing the liquid mass is transported into a
moulding chamber (12) where an associated core member is immersed into the
mass to determine the shape of the chocolate article. The temperature of the core
member is controlled and the time of immersion into the mass is set to a predetermined
time after which the core member is lifted clear of the mass. Inside the
moulding chamber, air is being moved to render the atmosphere controllable. In a
preferred embodiment the chamber is sealed effectively from the surrounding atmosphere,
by maintaining an overpressure inside said chamber compared to the
surroundings.

Abstract: A symbol decoding apparatus run-level-decodes
corresponding symbol data using the same scan pattern data
as used for run-level encoding. A symbol separator (51)
separates the received run-level-encoded symbol data into
run data and level data. An address outputter (52)
selects a particular scan pattern using the scan pattern
data associated with the symbol data, and selects a scan
address for storing the level data among the scan
addresses corresponding to the selected scan pattern using
the separated run data. A data store (54) stores the
level data supplied from the symbol separator (51) at the
storage position designated by the selected scan address.
Thus, the run level-encoded symbols are run-level-decoded
based on the scan pattern used for run-level encoding and
stored in a form appropriate for use in a downstream unit.
