Abstract: To process the layout of graphical objects, elastics data structures are established for the graphical objects to define minimum and preferred sizes, stretch properties and compression properties. Composite graphical objects include elastics properties computed from their components through add and max operations which are dependent on relative elasticities of the components. The positions of origins within graphical objects are defined by pairs of elastics in each of two dimensions. One application of elastics is with respect to text blocks where preferred width and compressibility of each text block is a function of the amount of text in the text block. The elastics and dimensions of graphical objects are processed in a three pass layout negotiation. In the first pass, preferred sizes and elasticities of the graphical objects are computed along a first dimension. In a second pass, size values of the graphical objects along the first dimension are computed from the preferred sizes and elasticities, and preferred sizes and elasticities of the graphical objects along a second dimension are computed based on the size values of the graphical objects along the first dimension. In a final pass, size values of the graphical objects along the second dimension are computed from the preferred sizes and elasticities.

IPC: C30B25/02

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for selective deposition on desired materials. In particular, barrier materials are selectively formed on insulating surfaces, as compared to conductive surfaces. In the context of contact formation and trench fill, particularly damascene and dual damascene metallization, the method advantageously lines insulating surfaces (12, 13) with a barrier material (26). The selective formation allows the deposition to be 'bottomless', thus leaving the conductive material (20) at a via bottom (10) exposed for direct metal-to-metal contact when further conductive material (18) is deposited into the opening (22) after barrier formation on the insulating surfaces (12, 13). Desirably, the selective deposition is accomplished by atomic layer deposition (ALD), resulting in highly conformal coverage of the insulating sidewalls (12, 13) in the opening.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'intégrer des données topographiques cornéennes et des données de front d'ondes oculaires à des mesures primaires d'amétropie de façon à créer un modèle de lentille de contact souple. Les données topographiques cornéennes sont utilisées pour concevoir une lentille de contact souple à port amélioré par la réalisation d'une face arrière de lentille de contact qui corresponde parfaitement à une topographie cornéenne particulière, ou qui ait une forme pondérée basée sur la topographie cornéenne particulière. Dans le cas d'une face arrière de lentille de contact à correspondance parfaite, le modèle unique de face arrière corrige également les aberrations optiques primaires et plus complexes de la cornée. Une analyse de front d'ondes oculaire est, de plus, utilisée pour déterminer l'aberration optique totale dans l'oeil. Cette aberration optique totale, moins toute aberration optique cornéenne corrigée au moyen de la face arrière de la lentille de contact, est corrigée par le modèle de face avant de la lentille de contact. La face avant de la lentille de contact est en outre conçue pour prendre en compte les élements de prescription réfractifs traditionnels nécessaires à un oeil particulier. La lentille ainsi produite présente par conséquent un port individualisé amélioré, une correction d'erreur de réfraction et une vision optimales.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système destiné à corriger l'erreur de mesure du poids de l'occupant d'un siège provoquée par une ceinture de sécurité, ce système étant utilisé afin de commander le déploiement d'un airbag d'automobile. Lorsque un siège enfant (28) est sécurisé au siège (16) d'un véhicule au moyen d'une ceinture de sécurité (20), la ceinture est serrée fortement, appliquant une force supérieure au siège, et augmentant de manière erronée la mesure du poids de l'occupant. Ledit système permet de détecter la différence entre un siège enfant avec une forte tension de la ceinture de sécurité et une personne adulte de petite taille, et modifie le déploiement de l'airbag en fonction. Ce système comporte un ensemble capteur monté dans la base du siège, mesurant le poids total de l'occupant du siège. Une unité de commande produit un coefficient de compensation sur la base des mesures de poids fournies par l'ensemble capteur et des positions de montage de la ceinture de sécurité. Ce facteur de compensation sert à corriger la valeur du poids total de l'occupant du siège afin de fournir une valeur du poids de l'occupant modifiée. Le déploiement de l'airbag est commandé en fonction de cette valeur du poids total de l'occupant.

Abstract: A device for transplanting trees or bushes having at least two spades that can be adjusted against each other. These spades can be set between an open and closed position by means of a pair of attached servo-drives. When in the open position, the spades are removed from each other by a space corresponding at least with a diameter of the tree or the bush to be transplanted. When the spades are in their closed position, they complement each other, forming a partial spherical cup. To reduce the resistance of the spades as they penetrate the soil, the cutting blade of the spade has the shape of a corrugated ground edging. These corrugated ground edges have alternating elevations and recesses, whereby the elevations of the cutting blade provide sufficient stability and safety against breakage. The ground surfaces that oppose each other on these spades are disposed on alternating sides to allow the cutting blades to overlap.
