Abstract: A valve system is provided having a housing including a first end, a second end and a first passageway. The housing has a first port and a second port. A valve member is disposed within the housing and movable relative thereto. The valve member defines a portion of the first passageway that includes a first opening configured for alignment and sealed fluid communication with the first port and the second port. The portion of the first passageway further includes a second opening having a greater relative dimension than the first opening. The valve member is manipulable to establish sealed fluid communication between the first opening and the first port or the second port while maintaining continuous sealed fluid communication between the second opening and the first passageway adjacent to the second end of the housing. The valve member can be disposed within the housing for rotation relative thereto.

Abstract: A method for anisotropically and selectively removing a dielectric thin film layer (102, 103) from a substrate layer (100) is disclosed, wherein the dielectric layer is subjected to ion implantation (122) prior to wet etching. This method may be applied adjacent to a structure such as a gate electrode within a microelectronic structure to prevent undercutting of the dielectric material to be preserved between the gate electrode and the substrate layer, as may happen with more isotropic etching techniques.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and user interface are provided for
managing e-mail rules and alert subscriptions from multiple sources. Alert messages and
persistent state objects, such as cookies, are examined to determine whether they relate to
an alert subscription. If an e-mail message or persistent state object is determined to
relate to an alert subscription, a network address for a subscription source identified by
the contents of the e-mail message or state object are added to a list of subscription
sources. A request may then be received to manage one or more alert subscriptions. In
response to the request, each subscription source identified in the list of subscription
sources is validated. Each validated subscription source is added to a current
subscriptions list, which is displayed to a user. Each subscription in the current
subscriptions list may be modified or deleted by the user through a unified user interface
for managing e-mail rules and alert subscriptions. Schema and data structures are also
provided for communication between an e-mail and alert subscription client and a

Abstract: This invention provides a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) downhole
assembly for use in drilling boreholes which utilizes gyroscopes, magnetometers and
accelerometers for determining the borehole inclination and azimuth during the
drilling of the borehole. The downhole assembly includes at least one gyroscope that
is rotatably mounted in a tool housing to provide signals relating to the earth's
rotation. A device in the tool can rotate the gyroscope and other sensors on the tool to
one of a plurality of preselected positions and optionally lock the sensors. A
processor in the tool combines measurements from the sensors taken at a plurality of
positions at the same depth to determine the systematic bias in the sensors before
further processing. Accelerometers in the MWD tool provide gravity measurements
from which the toolface and inclination are determined. The unbiased gyroscopic
measurements are used in conjunction with the tool face and inclination
measurements to determine the azimuth and tool face with respect to true north.
Additionally, when measurements are made with magnetic, accelerometer and
gyroscopic measurements along three different axes, the unbiased measurements may
be combined to provide an improved determination of the tool orientation. Using the
locking mechanism, measurements may be made with the sensor housing locked in
place during continuing drilling operations. When used with a drilling liner system,
the sensor assembly may be retrieved using a wireline. With the present invention, a
secondary borehole for secondary recovery operations may be drilled with accuracy in
proximity to a producing borehole.

Abstract: A method of cleaning spaced nozzles in a printhead of a drop-on-demand
inkjet printer in which a slight negative pressure is desired in an ink
reservoir in order to prevent ink drool from the nozzles, comprises: deforming a
compliant pressure regulator membrane that covers an opening in an ink reservoir,
inwardly at the opening, to decrease the ink holding volume of the reservoir;
deforming a compliant valve membrane that covers an opening in the ink reservoir
and caps an ink conduit projecting into the reservoir, outwardly at the opening and
away from the ink conduit, to uncap the ink conduit in order that the ink conduit
can provide ink delivery at a positive pressure into the reservoir and out through
the nozzles to clean the nozzles; returning the compliant valve membrane
inwardly towards the ink conduit to recap the ink conduit in order to terminate ink
delivery into the reservoir; and returning the compliant pressure regulator
membrane outwardly to increase the ink holding volume of the reservoir in order
to reduce ink pressure in the reservoir. Also, the method can further comprise:
ejecting some ink from the nozzles by activating thermal or piezoelectric
activators for the nozzles, in order to ensure a slight negative pressure in the
reservoir.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a configuration memory (13A) for storing configuration data, an arithmetic unit (2A) whose circuit configuration can be reconfigured in accordance with the configuration data, and a fixed value memory (30) for storing fixed value data to be supplied to the arithmetic unit (2A). Since the configuration data and fixed value data to be supplied to the arithmetic unit (2A) are stored in different memories, no data area for storing the fixed value data need be set in the configuration memory (13A). This makes it possible to supply a predetermined fixed value to the arithmetic unit (2A) by storing only information for reading out fixed value data from the fixed value memory (30).

Un changement de pression de gaz qui dépasse un débit de dépression calibré, ou la présence de liquide dans un espace surveillé quelconque, engendre la production d'un avertissement. Lorsque l'avertissement est émis, le système de distribution de produit est éteint et un avertissement audiovisuel est activé dans la proximité directe du personnel responsable. Un appel de service sur site émis par le personnel qualifié, est nécessaire pour renvoyer le système d'acheminement de produit à la réparation. Un technicien de service qualifié connecte le port de communication au module de commande système afin de déterminer la cause de la défaillance. Le système se sert également d'une dépression pour surveiller les ruptures d'enceinte de confinement. De plus, le système fait intervenir un dispositif basé sur Bernoulli pour produire la dépression de surveillance.
