Abstract: A substance delivery system has a three dimensional structure with outermost surface features and spaces for containing a substance. The substance has a level below the outermost surface features such that the substance is protected from inadvertent contact with external surfaces. The substance remains protected until the three dimensional structure is sufficiently deformed into a substantially two dimensional structure and the substance is thereby exposed to contact an external surface without compliance of the external surface being necessary. Deforming is preferably achieved by a compression force, wherein the outermost surface features of the three dimensional structure deform in a direction of the compression force. A method of making the three dimensional material includes the steps of coating a substance onto a forming surface, transferring the coating of substance from the forming surface to a piece of material, and forming the piece of material into a three dimensional structure on the forming surface while the substance is in contact with the forming surface.

Abstract: An electrode catheter is disclosed for creating a linear lesion in heart tissue of a heart chamber in order to correct cardiac arrhythmia. The catheter is elongated in dimension such that, upon insertion of the catheter in the patient, the catheter substantially continuously contacts either the endocardial or epicardial heart tissue. The catheter includes a plurality of electrodes and the electrodes are positioned at spaced intervals along the catheter. The electrodes are then sequentially energized with a radio frequency in conjunction with a back plate attached to the patient such that the electrodes form a continuous lesion conforming in shape to the shape of the catheter on the heart tissue. This lesion, furthermore, is of sufficient depth such that the lesion interrupts electrical nodal conduction across the lesion.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un récepteur audio numérique stockant des trames reçues temporairement destinées à être soumises à un décodage et à un masquage d'erreurs. Un bloc de reconstruction (14) du décodeur lit des trames stockées en utilisant une fenêtre de lecture (43) dans laquelle la dernière trame reçue (+cnnxt) est non décodée. Le décodage est exécuté en étapes de manière à vérifier la conformité de la trame courante (0) et de manière à masquer les éventuelles erreurs en utilisant des données correspondantes d'autres trames de la fenêtre. La détection d'erreurs qui utilise le principe des totaux de contrôle (19, 26), utilise également les valeurs autorisées de combinaisons binaires de certaines parties de la trame. Le récepteur peut également gérer une estimation (60) du taux d'erreurs binaires du signal, estimation qu'il utilise pour commander la mise en oeuvre de l'algorithme de masquage d'erreurs.

Abstract: In the formation of semiconductor devices, a processing method is provided, including steps for forming an oxide layer. The embodied methods involve a series of oxidation steps, with optional interposed cleanings, as well as an optional conditioning step after oxidation. In a preferred embodiment, these steps are clustered and transportation between the clustered process chambers takes place in a controlled environment such as nitrogen or a vacuum. In some embodiments, the method provides an oxide layer to be used as part of the device, such as a tunnel oxide for a flash-EEPROM, or as a general gate oxide. Alternatively, the steps can be used to sculpt through oxidation various levels of a substrate, thereby allowing for embedded memory architecture. Cleaning between oxidation steps offers the advantage of providing a more defect-free oxide layer or providing access to a more defect-free level of substrate.

Abstract: What is claimed is a dealuminated catalyst carrier, a process for producing a catalyst carrier with reduced aluminium content based on naturally occurring lattice-layer silicates, such as, for example, montmorillonite, as well as a process for the hydration reaction of C<SUB>2</SUB>- or C<SUB>3</SUB>-olefins in which said catalyst carrier with reduced aluminium content is used. For acid-catalysed hydration reaction the catalyst carrier is impregnated with phosphoric acid. The improvements according to the invention of the hydration reaction compared to conventional processes include the fact that no aluminium is leached out of the carrier in the presence of the phosphoric acid. As a result no more blockage of the succeeding apparatus due to aluminum phosphate is expected.
