Patent EP-0872565-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SUGIYAMA MASAKI
IPC: C22C9/06
Filed: 1998-04-15
Abstract: A Cu-based material of good corrosion resistance is used in the presence of sulfur, and includes a Cu-Ni-based alloy. The Cu-Ni-based alloy includes Ni in an amount of from 10 to 70% by weight, a readily oxidizable element, and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. The readily oxidizable element is likely to react with oxygen to produce oxides. The resulting oxides make it possible to inhibit the sulfur from reacting with the Cu-Ni-based alloy to produce sulfides (e.g., CuS, etc.). The readily oxidizable element can be at least one element selected from the group consisting of Zn and Mn. The oxides of the readily oxidizable element is formed on the surface of the Cu-based material, and interferes with the reactions of the copper, involved in the Cu-Ni-based alloy, and the sulfur. Thus, the oxides can inhibit the sulfides from being produced, and can keep the Cu-based material from being corroded by the sulfides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a method of fabricating a CMOS semiconductor
device including nMOSFET and pMOSFET, including the steps of (a) forming a
gate insulating film (5) on a semiconductor substrate (1), (b) forming a first
electrically conductive film (6) on the gate insulating film (5), (c) forming an
interlayer insulating film (7) on the first electrically conductive film (6), (d)
forming a second electrically conductive film (8) on the interlayer insulating film
(7), (e) shaping the first electrically conductive film (6), the interlayer insulating
film (7), and the second electrically conductive film (8) into a gate electrode (10) in
both a first region where the nMOSFET is to be fabricated and a second region
where the pMOSFET is to be fabricated, and (f) doping n-type impurities into the
first region and p-type impurities into the second region. The method makes it
possible to prevent reduction in dielectric voltage of a gate insulating film, which
would be caused by diffusion of titanium atoms, without causing a gate electrode
to be depleted.

Abstract: A method for in-situ modernization of a heterogeneous
synthesis reactor, comprises the steps of providing an
unperforated cylindrical wall (15) coaxial to the gas
outlet wall (8) in a catalytic bed (6) of the radial or
axial-radial type, the unperforated cylindrical wall (15)
extending from an upper end (8a) of the gas outlet wall (8)
for a portion of the same of a prefixed length, so as to
define a free-space (16) between the gas outlet wall (8)
and the unperforated wall (15), for the passage of a part
of the gas leaving said catalytic bed (6), and of proving
means of closing the free-space (16) between the
unperforated wall (15) and the gas outlet wall (8), in
proximity of the upper end (8a) of the latter, preventing
thereby a bypass of the catalytic bed or a recycling to the
same of the gas entering respectively leaving the reactor.
Thanks to the above steps, the present method allows to
operate with a reduced amount of catalyst in the catalytic
bed, keeping however the fluid dynamics and pressure drop
characteristics unchanged.

Abstract: A moving picture coding apparatus for coding a moving
picture and a moving picture decoding apparatus for decoding a
coded moving picture are provided. The moving picture coding
apparatus is operative to divide a picture signal of a picture
frame of N pixels x M lines (horizontal N pixels, vertical M
lines) to be coded between a first picture portion serving as the
inside picture portion having picture frame of N 1  pixels x M 1 
lines (N 1  ≤ N, M 1  ≤ M) and a second picture portion serving as
picture portion outside the first picture portion to divide the
first and second picture portions in independent predetermined
divisional units comprised of a plurality of pixels, and to add
peculiar discrimination codes to headers of divisional units in
transmitting coded information of predetermined divisional units
belonging to the second picture portion. 
     The moving picture decoding apparatus is operative so that
when only decoding ability of picture frame of N 1  pixels x M 1 
lines is provided, it reproduces only the first picture portion,
and detects any one of discrimination codes added to headers of
predetermined divisional units comprised of a plurality of pixels
belonging to the second picture portion with respect to the
second picture portion to discriminate it, thus to read, in a
skipped manner, coded information of the second picture portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electronic monetary
systems in general, and in particular to measures for
making their use easier for an average user. The
present invention is based on the idea that the use of
electronic money is greatly simplified for a non-expert
user, if the Internet Service Provider of the user
intercepts electronic payment requests sent by a
merchant. According to the present invention, the ISP
performs a conversion between an electronic money form
used by the merchant and a form available to the user.
The ISP can take care of all technical details necessary
for obtaining different forms of electronic money in a
centralized manner, and all users of the ISP can use the
electronic money obtained by the ISP. Further, the ISP
can obtain all major forms of electronic money,
whereafter a user can choose the most economical way of
payment, if a merchant accepts payments in more than one
form of electronic money.

Abstract: A magnet (1700) for use in a magnetic matrix display has a two dimensional
array of apertures between opposite poles of the magnet. The direction
of the magnetic field is such that the magnet generates, in each channel,
a collimating magnet field for forming electrons from a cathode into an
electron beam. A 'keeper' area (1710) around the periphery of the magnet is
used to improve the linearity of the field strength in the apertures from
apertures at the centre of the magnet to apertures at the periphery of
the magnet. The 'keeper' area may have control circuits placed on the
surface of that area of the magnet. The keeper area may contain
apertures which are not used for collimation and into which electrons are
prevented from entering by a grid electrode or by a physical blocking
means.

through the silencer element (8) to atmosphere, and, when
the pressure of gas from the outlet falls to said
predetermined value, the control valve (12) opens and the
gas flows from the outlet through the control valve (12) to

Abstract: Methyl chloride is prepared by effecting liquid-phase
reaction between hydrogen chloride and methanol in the
absence of a catalyst. The reaction is effected in divided
stages including at least an early stage and a last stage.
The early stage of reaction is effected in a stoichiometric
excess of hydrogen chloride. The last stage of reaction is
effected in a stoichiometric excess of methanol. The
invention is industrially advantageous in that methyl
chloride can be prepared at a high conversion of hydrogen
chloride while suppressing the formation of dimethyl ether
by-product.

Abstract: While a pressure producing chamber is largely expanded
before jetting ink droplets so as to increase an amount capable
of capturing meniscus, distances of d1, d2, and d3 defined from
the meniscus produced when the ink droplets are jetted up to a
