Abstract: The height measurement region capable of being
detected by a height detection sensor (8) is limited so that
only the connection portions are detected and other noise
objects are not detected. A luminance image capturing means
(3) for obtaining luminance image data of the entire bottom
surface of an electronic component (2) and a height image
capturing means (8) for obtaining height image data of the
entire bottom surface of the electronic component (2) are
provided. The positional detection of the electronic
component (2) is executed by individually selectively using
two-dimensional positional detection by the luminance image
capturing means (3) and three-dimensional positional
detection by the height image capturing means (8). A height
image of the entire bottom portion of an electronic
component (2) having a plurality of bump electrodes (2a) in
the bottom portion is captured as two-dimensional height
image data by the height detection sensor (3) and the
individual bump electrodes (2a) are extracted from the
height image data so as to detect the volume or shape of
individual bump electrodes (2a). When the volume or shape
of the bump electrodes (2a) does not satisfy a predetermined
criterion, the electronic component (2) is regarded as
abnormal.

Abstract: A mold protection device for an injection molding machine capable of
automatically setting a reference value for detecting an abnormal load exerted
on a mold in a mold closing process. A load exerted on a servomotor for
driving a mold clamping mechanism is estimated by a disturbance estimating
observer provided in a control system of the servomotor. The estimated
disturbance torque is sampled at every predetermined period in a mold
protection region and cyclically stored in a table TA as data DA (0, 0) to (i, j)
in mold closing processes of the number (i+1). A predetermined amount is
added to an average value of data DA (0, n) to (i, n) to define an upper limit
DC(n) for the disturbance torque and stored in the table TC. If the estimated
disturbance torque at each sampling period exceeds the upper limit DC(n) of in
the mold protection region in a present mold closing process, an alarm is
issued to indicate abnormal load. An optimum reference value for determining
an abnormal load is automatically set for securely protecting the mold without
requiring an operator to manually set the reference value.

Title: Commutateurs mem compatibles avec cmos et procede de fabrication
Inventor: CHOW LAP-WAI
IPC: B81B3/00
Filed: 2000-08-23
Abstract: L'invention concerne un commutateur micro-électromécanique (MEM) pouvant être fabriqué de manière économique à l'aide d'étapes de traitement standard pour la fabrication de circuits intégrés à couches métalliques multiples, tels que des CMOS. Les étapes exactes peuvent être ajustées de manière à être compatibles avec le procédé d'une fonderie particulière, pour obtenir un dispositif à la fois bon marché et pouvant être intégré facilement à d'autres circuits. Les étapes de traitement comprennent la formation de contacts pour le commutateur MEM à partir d'éléments métalliques qui sont utilisés d'ordinaire comme trous d'interconnexion pour connecter des couches métalliques séparées par une couche diélectrique. Ces trous de contact sont formés des deux côtés d'une zone de métallisation sacrifiée, puis la métallisation d'interconnexion est enlevée des zones situées entre les trous de contact de manière obtenir des trous séparés. Le diélectrique entourant les contacts est gravé de façon à rendre les trous saillants, l'un en direction de l'autre. Par conséquent, quand les contacts se rapprochent l'un de l'autre lors de l'actionnement du commutateur MEM, ils se connectent fermement sans obstruction. On emploie généralement du tungstène, qui constitue une excellente matière de contact, pour former les trous d'interconnexion dans les procédés CMOS, mais d'autres métaux peuvent aussi être utilisés. La métallisation d'interconnexions peut être employée pour d'autres besoins structuraux et d'interconnexion du commutateur MEM, et est de préférence standard pour la fonderie et le procédé utilisés. Divers métaux et matières diélectriques peuvent être utilisés pour produire les commutateurs, mais dans une forme de réalisation préférée, les couches métalliques d'interconnexion sont en aluminium et la matière diélectrique est SiO2; ces matières sont entièrement compatibles avec les procédés de fabrication standard de CMOS à quatre couches.

Abstract: A novel nuclear receptor, termed the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR), a broad-specificity sensing receptor that is a novel branch of the nuclear receptor superfamily, has been discovered. SXR forms a heterodimer with RXR that can bind to and induce transcription from response elements present in steroid-inducible cytochrome P450 genes in response to hundreds of natural and synthetic compounds with biological activity, including therapeutic steroids as well as dietary steroids and lipids. Instead of hundreds of receptors, one for each inducing compound, the invention SXR receptors monitor aggregate levels of inducers to trigger production of metabolizing enzymes in a coordinated metabolic pathway. Agonists and antagonists of SXR are administered to subjects to achieve a variety of therapeutic goals dependent upon modulating metabolism of one or more endogenous steroids or xenobiotics to establish homeostasis. An assay is provided for identifying steroid drugs that are likely to cause drug interaction if administered to a subject in therapeutic amounts. Transgenic animals are als provided which express human SXR, thereby serving as useful models for human response to various agents which poterltially impact P450-dependent metabolic processes.
