Patent EP-0680074-A3 (EP)
IPC: H01L21/302
Filed: 1987-10-22
Abstract: The present invention includes plural plasma etching 
vessels and a wafer queuing station arrayed with a wafer 
transfer arm in a controlled environment. Wafers are movable 
within the controlled environment one at a time selectably 
between the several plasma vessels and the wafer queuing 
station without atmospheric or other exposure to that possible 
contamination of the moved wafers is prevented. The system is 
selectively operative in either single-step or multiple-step 
processing modes, and in either of the modes, the several 
plasma etching vessels are operable to provide a desirably 
high system throughput. In the preferred embodiment, the 
several plasma vessels and the queuing station are arrayed 
about a closed pentagonal locus with the wafer transfer arm 
disposed within the closed locus. The wafer transfer arm is 
movable in R and TT between the several plasma etching vessels 
and the wafer queuing station, and selectably actuable vacuum 
locks are provided between each of the plasma etching vessels 
and the R and TT movable wafer transfer arm to both maintain 
an intended atmospheric condition and to allow wafer transport 
therethrough. The plasma vessels each include first and 
second water-cooled electrodes that are movable relatively to 
each other so as to provide a selectable gap dimension 
therebetween. One of the electrodes includes a selectively 
movable pedestal portion slidably mounted thereto that is 
cooperative with the R and TT movable wafer transfer arm to 
load and unload wafers respectively into and out of the 
associated plasma vessel. The wafer transfer arm is operative 
to pick-up the wafers by back-side and peripheral wafer 
contact only, which therewith prevents possible front-side 
contact-induced contamination of the wafer surfaces. A sensor 
on the transfer arm is operative to provide a signal 
indication of proper wafer seating.  
     Wafer processing in each vessel is regulated by a 
state controller for processing a plurality of wafers from a  
 
single cassette, contained within the vacuum environment of 
the plural plasma etching vessels and wafer queuing station, 
to provide an orderly and efficient throughput of wafers for 
diverse or similar processing in the plural vessels. In this 
manner a wafer can be processed as soon as a vessel becomes 
available.

Abstract: The method for detecting the presence of a coated microbubble contrast agent in the body of a patient through ultrasonic interrogation involves transmitting ultrasonic pulses into the body of a patient at an energy level sufficient to cause the destruction of coated micro-bubbles. The signals returned following each pulse transmission are received, and detected through phase insensitive detection. The detected signals received following two pulse transmissions are differentiated on a spatial basis, and signal differentiations which exceed a predetermined threshold are identified as resulting from microbubble destruction events. The differentiation involves subtracting the signals received following a later pulse transmission from the signals received following an earlier pulse transmission on a spatial basis, and the signals of each subtracted pair are received from the same location in the field being interrogated.

Abstract: A method of recovering source signals (y1, y2) from an
equal number of mixed signals (x1, x2) including components
of the source signals. Channel one (x1) and two (x2) mixed
signals are multiplied by channel one (w1) and two (w2)
adaptive weights to produce channel one and two product
signals, respectively. A channel one filtered feedback
signal is generated from a channel two approximation signal
(u2) and a channel two filtered feedback signal is generated
from a channel one approximation signal (u1). The channel
one filtered feedback signal is added to the channel one
product signal to produce the channel one approximation
signal (u1) and the channel two filtered feedback signal is
added to the channel two product signal to produce the
channel two approximation signal (u2). A nonlinear function
(35, 36) is applied to the approximation signals (u1, u2) to
produce output signals (y1, y2). The adaptive weights and
the filtered feedback signals are adjusted (37) to maximize
entropy of the output signals (y1, y2).

signal. The control voltage has a temperature dependence 
approximately the same as that required for keeping an 
optical output of the laser diode at a specified level 
independent of the ambient temperature change. Preferably, 
the control voltage generator contains a p-n junction diode 
for producing a temperature-dependent voltage, and a 
thermistor for compensating the temperature-dependent voltage 
to thereby produce said control voltage having an exponential 
characteristic with respect to the ambient temperature.

Abstract: Existing satellite solar arrays are deployed perpendicular
to the satellite so that they rotate to track the daily
movement of the sun to increase the solar array's' output
power. In the present invention, the solar arrays (22) are
biased by a fixed amount (34) away from the orbit perpendicular
axis (32) to maximize their minimum output power over the
seasons. As the satellite (20) orbits about the earth, the
solar array (22) rotates about the orbit perpendicular axis
(32) along a conical path so that the array (22) faces towards
the sun and maintains its biased attitude with respect to the
sun. The biased attitude is preferably selected to equalize the
solar array's summer and winter solstice output power minimums,
thereby maximizing the worst case output power for a single
axis of rotation solar array (22). The solar array (22) is
preferably biased by either forming a shim (54) between the
solar array drive mechanism (58) and the solar array (22) with
the desired bias (34) or by using the Adjustable Solar Wing
Actuator (ASWA) available on certain satellites.
