Abstract: The open end of the nozzle 42 is positioned close to and facing the surface of the metal base 20 on the side were the portion of the semiconductor ingot is to be cut off. An electromagnetic valve 46 is provided in the passage through which compressed air is supplied to the nozzle 42. The initial position of the blade 19 is detected by the detector 50U and the counter 52 measures the distance the blade 19 travels downward from the detected position and then the comparator 56 detects the point at which the measured value matches the value set on the numeric value setting device 54. The electromagnetic valve 46 is opened to emit compressed air from the nozzle 42 after this detection, until the detection of the lower limit position of the blade 19 by the detector 50D. This compressed air travels along in the direction of the rotation of the metal base 20 to enter the notch of the partially cut portion of the semiconductor ingot 10 made by the inner circumference cutting edge 22 and to consequently blow out the liquid coolant present between the metal base 20 and the semiconductor ingot 10.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device whereby a reaction chamber (3) in which a layer of material (2) is deposited on a semiconductor slice (1) which is placed on a support (4) in the reaction chamber, a process gas being conducted towards the slice (1) through a gas inlet system (6) which is provided with a perforated gas inlet plate (9) arranged opposite the support (4). The reaction chamber is, between depositions, periodically cleaned through generation of a plasma between the support (4) and the gas inlet plate (9) in a gas mixture comprising fluorine or a fluorine compound and oxygen or an oxygen compound. 
     A portion of the gas mixture which is comparatively rich in oxygen is conducted into the reaction chamber through the gas inlet system (6) with the gas inlet plate (9), while a portion of the gas mixture comparatively poor in oxygen is conducted into the reaction chamber through an auxiliary inlet system (23). The cleaning plasma as a result is comparatively rich in oxygen close to the gas inlet plate. An attack on the gas inlet plate by the plasma is counteracted in this way, and deposition on the gas inlet plate of polymers formed in the plasma is suppressed. An optimum cleaning plasma is present on average between the gas inlet plate (9) and the support (4).

Abstract: Marking apparatus (240) is provided for carrying out the marking of programmed character strings upon brittle surfaces (241) such as glass. The lines forming the characters are generated by a gas entrained stream (336) of abrasive particles which are expressed from the opening (262) of a nozzle (260) located in close adjacency with the surface (241) being marked. Switching of this abrasive particle string between marking and non-marking orientations is carried out by a diversionary flow (296) of gas under pressure which is expressed into the stream (336) at a rate effective to integrate with the abrasive particle and divert the marking stream away from a marking axis. A suction port (332) is provided which removes particles subsequent to marking or having been diverted to a collection location. In one embodiment, the nozzle (260) from which the marking particulate stream (336) is expressed is maneuvered between lifted or retracted positions and marking positions in close adjacency with the surface (241) being marked. As the nozzle (260) is retracted, the particle stream issuing therefrom is diverted by the diversionary stream flow (296). To improve the switching action, a ledge (334) is provided opposite the diversionary gas source. This ledge (334) receives diverted particles for disposition through the noted suction port (332).

Abstract: Described herein is the discovery that human interleukin-1β convertase (ICE) is structurally similar to the protein encoded by the C. elegans cell death gene, ced-3. Comparative and mutational analyses of the two proteins, together with previous observations, suggest that the Ced-3 protein may be a cysteine protease like ICE and that ICE may be a human equivalent of the nematode cell death gene. Another mammalian protein, the murine NEDD-2 protein, was also found to be similar to Ced-3. The NEDD-2 gene is implicated in the development of the murine central nervous system. On the basis of these findings, novel drugs for enhancing or inhibiting the activity of ICE, ced-3, or related genes are provided. Such drugs may be useful for treating inflammatory diseases and/or diseases characterized by cell deaths, as well as cancers, autoimmune disorders, infections, and hair growth and hair loss. Furthermore, such drugs may be useful for controlling pests, parasites and genetically engineered organisms. Furthermore, novel inhibitors of the activity of ced-3, ICE and related genes are described which comprise portions of the genes or their encoded products.

Abstract: A first invention relates to an IC card (1) provided with a card base (3) having the front and back sides; electromagnetic stripes (7) arranged on the back side of the substrate, and capable of storing information; and a module (5) incorporating a semi-conductor circuit device having connecting terminals (5-1) arranged on a given area on the front side of the base (3) so as to connect the card (1) with external equipement, wherein the end (5a) of the module (5) is arranged in the direction perpendicular to the electromagnetic stripes (7). With the structure described above, it is possible to reduce the step on the base (3) in the vicinity of the upper part of the module (5), thus relaxing the stress exerted on this part. Further, according to a second invention, the card (1) has a structure such that the end (5b) gradually becomes thinner. The step in the vicinity of the upper part of the module (5) is further smaller, so that the stress exerted on the part is relaxed. Furthermore, according to a third invention, a part of the end (5b) has a cuspidated shape, and the module (5) is so shaped that the leading end (5c) of the end (5b) is cuspidal. Hence, the step in the vicinity of the upper part of the base (3) is smaller, thus enabling the stress exerted on the part to be relaxed. The invention provides an IC card having a high durability.
