Patent EP-0794458-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HOULIHAN FRANCIS MICHAEL
IPC: H01L21/027
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for device fabrication and resist materials that are used in the process. The resist material contains a polymer that is the polymerization product of a monomer that contains alicyclic moieties and at least one other monomer. The polymer is formed by free radical polymerization, and the resulting polymer either has alicyclic moieties incorporated into the polymer backbone or pendant to the polymer backbone via saturated hydrocarbon linkages. Other monomers are selected for polymerization with the alicyclic moiety-containing monomer on the basis of the ability of the monomer to copolymerize by free radical polymerization. Although the polymers are contemplated as useful in resist materials that are sensitive to radiation in the ultraviolet, and x-ray wavelengths as well as sensitive to electron beam radiation, the polymers are particularly advantageous for use in process in which the exposing radiation is 193 nm, because the amount of ethylenic unsaturation in these resist materials is low. 
     In one embodiment, the resist material contains the polymer in combination with a dissolution inhibitor and a photoacid generator (PAG). In another embodiment, the polymer has acid labile groups pendant thereto which significantly decrease the solubility of the polymer in a solution of aqueous base. In either embodiment, a film of the resist material is formed on a substrate and exposed to delineating radiation. The radiation induces a chemical change in the resist material rendering the exposed resist material substantially more soluble in aqueous base solution than the unexposed portion of the resist material. The image introduced into the resist material is developed using conventional techniques, and the resulting pattern is then transferred into the underlying substrate.

Abstract: A monolithic cover (20) for a vehicle safety airbag module
includes a front face (42) from which a skirt (52) depends at
a lower end of which resilient flaps (58) having tapered foot
extensions (80) are formed. Tapered ribs (84) and flap ribs
(82) on exterior surfaces of the skirt (52) and flaps (58)
respectively stiffen these parts. A circular inflator (12)
with an annular flange (28) to which an annular support plate
(60) is bolted is connected to the cover (20) by snapping the
flaps (58) over the support plate (60) so that the support
plate is held between a lower free edge (56) of the skirt (52)
and shoulders (70) formed on upper surfaces of the foot
extensions (80). A retaining plate (62) is bolted against the
tapered flap ribs (82) to prevent outward movement of the flaps
(58) and inadvertent cover release upon airbag deployment.

Abstract: Wrinkled fabrics comprising ultraviolet absorbers are disclosed which provide
improvements in ultraviolet transmission, wearer comfort, and cost over those of the
prior art. The preferred fabric is polyester and the preferred UV absorbers are
chlorobenzotriazoles. The polyester is wrinkled permanently so as to provide an extra
barrier to ultraviolet radiation from solely utilizing UV absorbers alone. This wrinkled
product is also more comfortable to a wearer, particularly in warm weather or hotter
climates. Other non-apparel uses are also contemplated including tents, awnings, and
crowd covers. A method of making such a fabric is also disclosed comprising stuffing a
jet dyeing machine with a more than normal load amount of fabric and eventually heat
setting such resultant wrinkles into the finished product.

Abstract: A background medium for an optical sorting machine that sorts products in a
passing product strewn by detecting variations in colour or hue against the
background, is a clear cylindrical or flat material(51) located in the centre of
the optical viewing assembly of the machine and having a background area(53)
painted or projected thereon. The background is preferably on the outside
surface of the tubular material aligned opposite the product stream from the
detector(44,46) of the light that is reflected from a fight source off the products
in the stream. Alternatively, the background area is textured, such as being
frosted to cause a diffusion effect, and a background colour is projected as a
background image onto the textured area. A machine that uses a bichromatic
sorting background is similarly improved for a background colour or hue
established in two sorting frequency spectrums. Multiple backgrounds can also
be employed on a single tubular material for the respective optical sorting
detectors that are employed to view the product stream at various different
angles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing a transmission connection. In accordance with the method, symbols (DATA_IN) are formed from the bit stream to be transmitted, carriers are generated on several different frequency bands, and the bit stream is transmitted with the aid of the carriers by dividing the formed symbols between the carriers in such a way that each carrier is modulated with some of the bits in the bit stream. To enable implementation of modulation and demodulation in such multicarrier systems with as simple and efficient equipment as possible, the modulated carriers are first generated on the transmitter side each separately on predetermined first frequencies, whereafter at least some of the carriers are supplied to a halfband filter bank (64) transferring at least some of the carriers supplied to it to their final frequency bands in the frequency domain and combining said carriers to its output. Halfband filter bank is also used in the receiver.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un émetteur radio large bande destiné à un signal numérique constitué d'une pluralité de porteuses à modulation numérique pas nécessairement équidistantes. L'émetteur sélectionne la seconde réplique du spectre du signal issu d'un dénumériseur afin d'accroître l'écart entre le signal utile et la composante continue par rapport à ce qu'impliquerait l'utilisation directe du spectre bande de base. L'objet de l'invention consiste en fait à obtenir une bande de transition plus large et par conséquent, un reste oscillateur local un moins contraignant et un filtre images à fréquences radio. Pour éliminer ou réduire les effets de la fonction sin(πfT)(πfT) enveloppant le signal issu du numériseur, l'invention prévoit l'utilisation d'une égalisation de type analogique, ou l'adoption d'une technique à insertion zéro (de type analogique ou numérique) ou en général, un égaliseur numérique x/sinx. Le signal large bande est converti aux fréquences radio et le filtre images sélectionne la bande latérale inférieure de manière à annuler l'inversion spectrale réalisée par le numériseur si l'on utilise une réplique d'ordre pair. L'émetteur convient avantageusement pour toutes applications d'émetteur large bande et systèmes mobiles de type GSM 900 MHz, ou DCS 1800 MHz ou UMTS.
