Abstract: The present invention concerns a photomultiplier having a lamination structure of fine mesh dynodes arranged at predetermined intervals, capable of detecting photons even in a high magnetic field. This photomultiplier is arranged so that hollow pipes penetrating electrodes for supporting the fine mesh dynodes define the lamination structure of an electron multiplier unit. This arrangement permits the intervals between the fine mesh dynodes to be accurately controlled, thereby obtaining the photomultiplier production errors of which are well suppressed and preventing that the fine mesh dynodes are ripped.

Abstract: The pressure sensor has a housing (6) containing a measuring device separated from the housing by a radial gap. The measuring device includes a pressure transfer part (2), a measuring part and e.g. tubular springs for applying axial tension to the measuring part. The sensor also has a seal membrane which provides a sealed, rigid connected between the housing and the pressure transfer part. At least one heat conductor (7,8) is arranged between the pressure transfer part and the housing, and has high heat conductivity and large conducting cross- section. The heat quantity falling in the region of the pressure transfer part is mostly fed out via the heat conductor to the housing. The heat conductor acts as a bending or rolling part on axial movement between the pressure transfer part and the housing. This is weak in the axial direction w.r.t. force transmission.

Abstract: Threshold values are generated in order to disperse isolated dots in an irregular manner when an level of an image signal is between a first signal level and a second signal level. The first signal level is a level at which one isolated dot consisting of one pixel is formed in each one-dot area including one halftone dot, and the second signal level is a level at which no isolated dot consisting of one pixel is formed in each one-dot area. The threshold values are then compared with the image signal, to generate a halftone dot signal representing halftone dots.

passageway 27, thereby cooling the refrigerant directed
to the evaporator. In a second aspect of the invention,
a means is provided for increasing a target value of the
pressure at the pressure reducer when a thermal load of
the refrigerating system is high. In a third aspect, a
series of pressure reducers are arranged on the main

Abstract: A digital image having a dynamic range representing a brightness in an
original scene greater than the dynamic range of an output medium, is processed to fit the
dynamic range of the output medium by dividing the image into first and second portions,
the first portion of the image representing a brightness range extending from a minimum
brightness up to a distance equal to the dynamic range of the output medium, the second
portion of the image representing a brightness range extending from a maximum
brightness down to a distance equal to the dynamic range of the output medium.
First and second transformations are determined for the first and second portions of the
image respectively that map the first and second portions onto the dynamic range of the
output medium using a exposure determination algorithm of the type used in
photographic printers. The digital image is then thresholded at a brightness level that
divides the image into a first region having the lowest levels of brightness and a second
region having the highest levels of brightness. Finally, the first transformation is applied to
the first region of the image and the second transformation is applied to the second region
of the image to produce a digital image having a dynamic range that matches the dynamic
range of the output medium while maintaining natural contrast within objects in the image.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for device fabrication in which a layer of cobalt silicide is formed as a low resistance contact layer over the source and drain regions of a device. The silicon substrate is first subjected to conditions that form a thin layer of oxide on the surface thereof. It is advantageous if the oxide thickness is about 0.5 nm to about 1.5 nm. At least one layer of cobalt is then formed on at least the oxidized surfaces of the silicon substrate. The cobalt layer(s) is formed using conventional expedients such as e-beam evaporation. The cobalt layer(s) is formed on the substrate in an essentially oxygen free environment. Each cobalt layer has a thickness of about 1 nm to about 5 nm. While maintaining the substrate in the essentially oxygen-free environment, the substrate is annealed to form a layer of cobalt silicide. It is advantageous if the substrate is annealed at a temperature in the range of about 450°C to about 800°C. The cobalt silicide that results has a low resistance and high uniformity that makes it advantageous for use as a contact material.

Abstract: A system and method for ascertaining anomalies in
electrical equipment includes computing and processing a
set of Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT's) of the supply
current waveforms for an apparatus known to be in a
normal condition to crete a feature set of input vectors.
The input vector assignments for all possible cluster
groupings 1 to n are derived using Ward's method. The
method includes computing the Approximate Weight of
Evidence (AWE) for each cluster grouping then selecting
that count associated with a maximum AWE and designating
this count as s. For each cluster in each grouping 1 to
s, the method finds the member vector farthest from the
cluster's centroid and defines this as the cluster's
radius. A single input sample for a motor under
supervision is read in, following by computing and
processing an FFT based on the input sample for a newly
generated feature vector is inside any of the clusters 1
through s as defined for each cluster by its respective
radius, and if not, outputting a warning signal.

Abstract: The invention provides for a call centre (109)
including a PBX/ACD (108) and a CTI server (142) for
routing both voice and video calls to a single group of
agents (120, 122, 124, 172, 174) in which a modem call
from an end-point terminal (100, 101, 102) is used to
initiate and prepare a video call. Upon receiving an
inbound voice or a modem call, the PBX/ACD (108) passes
ANI and DNIS to the CTI server (142) and in response to
the inbound voice or video call the CTI server (142)
selects a group of agents capable of handling the inbound
call, and sends routing information to the PBX/ACD (108)
so that the ACD can route the inbound call to the
selected group of agents. Before an inbound call is
routed to an agent, the CTI server (142) generates a flag
to indicate the nature of the inbound call. If the flag
indicates a video call initiated by a modem call, a modem
(152) at the agent's side will respond to the modem call
from the end-point terminal (102), and a separate ISDN
call is then made to establish a video connection. If
the flag indicates a voice call, a telephone set (118) at
the agents side will simply ring.

Abstract: In the manufacture of 16 Mbits DRAM chips, a polysilicon strap
is used to provide an electrical contact between the drain region
of the active NFET device and one electrode of the storage
capacitor for each memory cell. In a conventional fabrication
process, a Si3N4 pad layer (26) is deposited onto the bare
silicon substrate (11) then patterned. Next, deep trenches (17)
are formed in the substrate by dry etching. A classic ONO layer
(19) is conformally deposited into the trenches. The trenches are
filled with undoped polysilicon (18). About 2,5 um of undoped
polysilicon are removed from the trench in a plasma etcher. A
TEOS SiO2 collar layer (20) is conformally deposited then
anisotropically dry etched to leave only the so-called collar.
Because trenches are present at the
substrate surface, its thickness is not uniform. It is proposed
hereunder a novel highly selective dry etch method to
anisotropically etch said layer while preserving the Si3N4 pad
layer thickness uniformity. According to the present invention,
a chemistry having a high TEOS SiO2/Si3N4 selectivity (i.e. which
etches TEOS SiO2 faster than Si3N4 by a factor of at least six)
is used to etch the TEOS SiO2 collar layer. C4F8/Ar and
C4F8/Ar/CO mixtures which have respective selectivities
approximately equal to 9:1 and 15:1 (depending on gas ratios) are
adequate in all respects. When the surface of the Si3N4 pad layer
is reached (this can be accurately detected), the etch is
continued by an overetch of the TEOS SiO2 layer to ensure a
complete removal of the horizontal portions thereof.
