Patent EP-0862203-A1 (EP)
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 1998-01-30
Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure such as an
integrated circuit capacitor is disclosed herein. This method can
be used in conjunction with the formation of a dynamic random
access memory array. For example, the capacitor storage node 22
for each of the millions of memory cells can be formed from a
metal material. For example, the storage node 22 can be made from
tungsten, titanium, tantalum or a large number of other materials.
A nitridation process is performed to form a conductive nitride
layer disposed on the metal electrode 22. A dielectric layer 24
such as tantalum pentoxide or another high dielectric constant
material can be formed on the conductive nitride layer. A
conductive layer 26 can then be formed over the dielectric layer
24.

Abstract: A method of computed tomography inspection uses a
Euclidian reference ply model having a corresponding
Non-Euclidian ply model which includes reference model
plies to extract intensity data from Euclidian slice
data (13) (typically having a pixel format) derived from
multiple slice X-ray scans (50) using an X-ray scanning
system such as the CT system ( 7). The multiple slice
data is analyzed to determine intensity values for
points in the slice data corresponding to a subject ply
(10) of a corresponding reference model ply. The
reference model may be a predetermined model such as a
mathematically described CAD model file or based on
such a CAD model. A preferred method of the present
invention includes a transformation of the CAD model
data to register the CAD model data to multiple slice

Abstract: The method involves a moulding stage for forming a partially
solidified strand with a molten core, the partially solidified
strand passing to a roller stage on leaving the moulding stage,
the method comprising, at least during a portion of a casting
cycle :-
   providing a first portion of the rolling stage with a
reducing separation between rollers, thereby defining a volume
occupied by the strand in that portion;   changing the volume of the strand between the rollers in
that portion by changing the position of one or more rollers;
and   providing a further portion of the rolling stage with a
reducing separation between rollers.    
     By varying the volume of the strand between the rollers in that
portion the volume of the strand can be increased therein, for
instance to move the zone of soft reduction away from the
moulding stage, or alternatively to lower the level of the
meniscus within the solidifying strand. Alternatively, the
volume of the strand between the rollers in that portion can be
decreased, for instance to move the zone of soft reduction
towards the moulding stage, or alternatively to increase the
level of the meniscus within the moulding stage. 
     More accurate soft reduction and less wastage material during
close down of a casting run result from the application of the
invention.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des noyaux absorbants destinés à êtres insérés dans des articles tels que les couches pour bébé, les protections contre l'incontinence, les culottes de propreté, les supports et les garnitures de couche, les serviettes hygiéniques et articles similaires, lesquels noyaux sont conçus pour améliorer le confort et l'ajustement au corps de l'utilisateur tout en retenant de façon adéquate les écoulements corporels. Les noyaux absorbants sont conçus de manière qu'ils retiennent un faible niveau de fluide dans la zone de l'entrejambes par rapport aux autres zones du noyau, même lorsque le noyau absorbe une importante quantité de fluide au cours de l'utilisation. Pour obtenir ce résultat, le noyau absorbant est conçu de manière que le fluide se déplace dans une large mesure depuis la zone de l'entrejambes vers l'extrémité avant et/ou arrière de l'article. En particulier, le noyau absorbant comprend, dans la zone de l'entrejambes, un matériau de distribution doté d'une grande capacité de reflux même après une longue période de temps. Les propriétés de reflux du matériau reflètent sa capacité à déplacer de grandes quantités de fluide depuis l'entrejambes du noyau, même après de longues périodes de temps (10 et 30 minutes, par exemple).

Abstract: An oxygen concentrator is provided which has a first molecular sieve bed connected to a four-way valve (i.e., a cross-over valve) which either joins the sieve bed to a pressurized air source (compressed air) or alternatively vents it to atmosphere. A second molecular sieve bed is also joined to the four-way valve in a corresponding manner. One bed is joined to the compressed air to produce oxygen-enriched air while the other is vented to atmosphere to cause evacuation. The sieve beds are joined at the outlet end to a product reservoir. The oxygen-enriched product gas passes from the reservoir to the patient. The sieve beds are also in fluid communication at the outlet end by means of a pressure equalization flow path. A concentration equalization valve regulates the flow in the pressure equalization flow path. In order to purge the nitrogen from a used molecular sieve bed, a quantity of oxygen-enriched air is passed into the bed immediately before it is vented to atmosphere. In accordance with the present invention, the microprocessor uses a closed-loop feedback circuit to evaluate the amount of time that the output product gas is allowed to flow into the used sieve bed. Specifically, an incremental step advance is used assuming a peak value of the time of flow in one direction as compared to the time of flow in the second direction. In a second embodiment, control means is provided based on a variable residence time range and variable pressure set point.
