Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a microporous polyolefin membrane having an excellent balance among void content, air permeability, thrust strength and degree of heat shrinkage.  <P>SOLUTION: The method is as follows: A gel molding is obtained by melt kneading a polyolefin and a liquid solvent followed by extruding the obtained molten mixture through a die and cooling it. The gel molding is then drawn uniaxially more than three fold and further drawn vertically to the direction of the more than three fold drawing under a temperature higher than that at the more than three fold drawing, thereafter the liquid solvent is removed.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Granted: 2009-03-25
Abstract: A method for correcting color variations on the surface of a wafer, a method for selectively detecting a defect from different patterns, and computer readable recording media for the same are provided. Color variations in images of different parts of a wafer can be corrected using the mean and standard deviation of grey level values for the pixels forming each of the different parts of the wafer. In addition, different threshold values are applied to metal interconnect patterns and spaces of the wafer so that a defect can be selectively detected from the different patterns. Thus, a bridge known as a fatal, or killing defect to a semiconductor device can be detected without also falsely detecting grains as fatal defects. Due to increased defect screening capacity of the methods, the defect detecting method can be further efficiently managed.

Abstract: In a method of producing metallic iron by reducing and melting a raw material, which contains an iron oxide-containing material and a carbonaceous reducing agent, by heating, the raw material for producing metallic iron is supplied after a powder and granular atmosphere control carbonaceous material is spread on a hearth of a heat-reducing furnace. In this case, a non-resolidificable carbonaceous material is used as the atmosphere control carbonaceous material, and thus a phenomenon that the powder and granular carbonaceous material is resolidified into a rice-cracker-like shape can be suppressed, thereby permitting solid-phase reduction with high efficiency and stable operationality. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An adaptive median filter (40) provides dynamic detection and correction of digital image defects which are caused by defective or malfunctioning elements of a radiation detector array (20). The adaptive median filter receives (100) lines of pixel values of a digital image that may have defects and a user-defined defect threshold. The lines of pixel values are scanned on a pixel-by-pixel basis using a kernel of nxn pixels, where the kernel contains the candidate pixel being examined (120). Each kernel is numerically reordered (130) and a median value is calculated (140). A defect threshold value is calculated by multiplying the user-defined defect threshold criteria and the candidate pixel value (150). A reference value is calculated by subtracting the candidate pixel value and the median value (160). The reference value is compared to the defect threshold value (170). The candidate pixel value is replaced by the median value (180) if it differs from the median value by more than the predefined defect threshold, e.g., 20%. The adaptive median filter is particularly effective in detecting and correcting double line and double column defects in digital images. In addition, the filter minimizes image blurring and maintains image resolution by filtering only defective pixels.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a mass spectrometer system, having a processing section, provides for the application of both an axial field and periodic application of a flush pulse to the processing section. This gives a reproducible output ion signal from the processing section that is very responsive to changes in operating conditions in the processing section. The mass spectrometer system can comprise: a collision/reaction cell having an input and an output; and a set of elongated rods extending between said input and output, said elongated rods spatially arranged. Separate auxiliary electrodes can be provided to generate the axial field. The invention has particular applicability to ICP-MS, where strong ion currents can result in a collision cell taking some time to reach equilibrium when the operating condition is changed.
