Patent EP-1237178-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MARX ECKHARD
IPC: H01L21/677
Filed: 2001-03-02
Abstract: The invention refers to a metrology device (10) to be coupled
to a semiconductor product handling and/or processing tool
(1) enclosing a mini-environmental atmosphere, the metrology
device comprising a housing (13) preserving an inner atmosphere,
a coupling region (14) for connecting the inner atmosphere
to the mini-environmental atmosphere and measuring
means (19) for measuring the property of a semiconductor
product. According to the invention, the metrology device is
constructed comprising a support (11, 12) which is movable on
the ground by transport means (18) and which is dimensioned
such that the metrology device is self-supporting in a position
appropriate for quick coupling of the coupling region
(14) of the tool (1). The invention allows for quick operational
mini-environmental coupling of measurement means of
any size and weight to a loadport or other closeable opening
of a cluster tool. As a consequence, semiconductor wafers
need no longer be transported in FOUPs from one loadport to
another for intermediate measurement between two process
steps at the same cluster tool. By the present invention, the
lack of integration of measuring equipment to processing
equipment characterising semiconductor industry by reasons of
high integration efforts and costs is overcome.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a probiotic. According to the
invention it is a nisin-producing micro-organism (e.g. Lactococcus
lactis) or a nisin-comprising composition obtained from said
nisin-producing micro-organism. This finding is rather surprisingly,
because while nisin is known to have bactericidal properties,
Gram-negative bacteria are only killed if the bacteria receive an
additional treatment in conjunction, such as with EDTA. The probiotic
can be used as an ingredient in food (e.g. cheese), poultry feed and
pharmaceutical compositions.

Title: Dispositif de filtre et procede de fabrication d'un dispositif de filtre
Inventor: AIGNER ROBERT
IPC: H03H9/02
Filed: 2001-11-06
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de filtre comprenant un substrat possédant une surface supérieure et une surface de fond, au moins une onde acoustique située sur la surface supérieure du substrat, la surface de fond du substrat étant rugueuse de façon à réduire la réflexion d'une onde acoustique retournant dans le filtre à onde acoustique. L'effet produit par la rugosité de la surface de fond du substrat fait qu'une onde acoustique générée par le filtre à onde acoustique et qui atteint cette surface de fond, est d'une façon fondamentale dispersée au niveau de cette surface de fond rugueuse. Par conséquent, la partie de l'onde acoustique qui est en fait reflétée en retour dans le dispositif d'onde acoustique est réduite, ce qui améliore alors les performances de ce filtre à onde acoustique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasonic
diagnostic equipment 1 which projects ultrasonic signals into
a patient, and which generates an ultrasonic image on the
basis of reflection echoes from within the patient. The
ultrasonic diagnostic equipment 1 comprises a workflow system
21 which controls equipment operations including the
generation of the ultrasonic image, in accordance with a
workflow protocol based on the examination procedure of steps
created beforehand, and a visual workflow editor 22 which is
so constructed as to edit the workflow protocol visually with
icons on a screen. Owing to the configuration, the creation
of the workflow protocol is facilitated, chances for the
utilization of the workflow system are expanded, and even
users, such as beginners, who are slightly skilled in the
ultrasonic diagnostic equipment and have experienced
operations little, are permitted to master the operating
method of the equipment promptly and to operate the equipment
more easily.

Abstract: A gasification auger with a hopper reservoir (1) that
feeds a variety of undried, friable materials to an auger
(2) powered by a motor (3). Along the auger (2) there is a
section where the helix is interrupted by a series of
blades (5). Surrounding the output end of the auger tube
(4) is a cylindrical combustion chamber (10,11), which
generates heat to gasify the raw material whilst it is
completely contained within the auger tube (4). The
combustion chamber (10,11) has air direction tubes,
between the inner combustion chamber (11) and the outer
combustion chamber (10). 
     Air and fuel is introduced to the combustion chamber
(10,11) and the resulting heated gas is then extracted and
can be used to run a variety of engines or equipment
before being directed to a heating chamber (7) which may
form part of an integral heat exchanger. The auger tube
(4) is provided with apertures for the removal of gases
(9), which can be fed to a burner (12) in the combustion
chamber. Another aperture (6) allows for the extraction of
steam from damp material.

Abstract: Dual smartcard controller (28) supplies independent
power to smartcard readers (24, 26). An I/O data bus (MPU
SELECT, MPU PROGRAM) allows MPU (12) control of dual
smartcard controller (28) to obtain status and to provide
