Patent EP-1790967-A3 (EP)
Inventor: CARROLL JOHN
IPC: G01N13/02
Filed: 2004-02-24
Abstract: There are described methods and apparatus for assessing foams generated from liquids. Existing methods are slow and labour intensive. The new methods involve generating foams from liquids and optically obtaining information to enable parameters relating to the generated foam to be measured. Although single samples of liquids may be processed the methods are particularly suited to processing multiple samples to obtain data relating to foams at a high rate. The apparatus includes automated handling equipment to enable samples to be moved between workstations and relative to associated optical equipment that is used to obtain information relating to the foams.

Abstract: An audio system sets a signal line path between the medium of an audio device and an external device and uploads a digital audio file from the external device to the audio device according to a user's manipulation of the audio. In addition, a communication system selectively uses USB and UART communications by commonly using a single USB connector and connects a connector of an external device and an audio/USB/UART common connector through a single cable, so that audio/USB or audio/UART signals are selectively outputted through a common audio signal line. Accordingly, the audio system can interface with various kinds of external devices without external modification or additional installation of a dedicated interface in the audio device with a USB connector. In addition, the USB/UART common communication system can commonly use the USB connector without regard to USB and UART connection signals and can selectively output the audio/USB or audio/UART signals through the single cable in the audio device.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an SOI substrate superior in film thickness uniformity and resistivity uniformity in a substrate surface of a silicon layer having a film thickness reduced by an etch-back method is provided. After B ions is implanted into a front surface of a single-crystal Si substrate 10 to form a high-concentration boron added p layer 11 having a depth L in the outermost front surface, the single-crystal Si substrate 10 is appressed against a quartz substrate 20 to be bonded at a room temperature. Chemical etching is performed with respect to the single-crystal Si substrate 10 from a back surface thereof to set its thickness to L or below. A heat treatment is carried out with respect to an SOI substrate in a hydrogen containing atmosphere to outwardly diffuse B from the high-concentration boron added p layer 11, thereby acquiring a boron added p layer 12 having a desired resistance value. During this heat treatment, B in an Si crystal is diffused to the outside of the crystal in a state where it is coupled with hydrogen in the atmosphere, and a B concentration in the high-concentration boron added p layer 11 is reduced. 
In regard to a heat treatment temperature at this time, in view of a softening point of the insulative substrate, an upper limit of the heat treatment temperature is set to 1250°C, and 700°C is selected as a lower limit of the temperature at which B can be diffused.
