being scanned, the first image data set having the native resolution;
moving said at least a portion of an imaging assembly associated
with the image sensor (24) along the scanning axis (30) during a
second scanning sweep to produce a second image data set (48)
representative of the object (18) being scanned, the second image
data set having the native resolution, the positions of the image
sensor (24) during the second scanning sweep being displaced from
corresponding positions of the image sensor (24) during the first
scanning sweep by mechanical free play in the scanner (12); and
combining the first image data set and the second image data set to

Abstract: Generating steam with hot process gases comprises using the gases to produce saturated steam. The gases are divided into several streams, each of which is passed through one tube (13a,14a,15a) of a double-walled heat exchanger (12) in a container filled with water. A different fluid is passed in counter-current through the other tube (13b,14b,15b).  Generating steam with hot process gases, especially those produced by non-catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons by partial oxidation under increased pressure and at high temperature, comprises using the gases to produce saturated steam. The gases are divided into several streams, each of which is passed through one tube (13a,14a,15a) of a double-walled heat exchanger (12) in a container filled with water. A different fluid is passed in counter-current through the other tube (13b,14b,15b).  An Independent claim is included for a steam generator for carrying out the above process.

Abstract: The present invention is a semiconductor metallization process for providing complete via fill
on a substrate and a planar metal surface, wherein the vias are free of voids and the metal
surface is free of grooves. In one aspect of the invention, a refractory layer (16) is deposited
onto a substrate having high aspect ratio contacts or vias (14) formed thereon. A PVD metal
layer, such as PVD Al or PVD Cu, is then deposited onto the refractory layer (16) at a
pressure below about 0.133 Pa (1 milliTorr) to provide a conformal PVD metal layer (22).
Then the vias or contacts (14) are filled with metal, such as by reflowing additional metal
deposited by physical vapor deposition on the conformal PVD metal layer (22). The process is
preferably carried out in an integrated processing system that includes a long throw PVD
chamber, wherein a target and a substrate are separated by a long throw distance of at least
100 mm, and a hot metal PVD chamber that also serves as a reflow chamber.
