Abstract: The present invention is a polishing pad for use in chemical-mechanical planarization of semiconductor wafers, and a method for making the polishing pad. The polishing pad has a body, molecular bonding links, and abrasive particles dispersed substantially uniformly throughout the body. The body is made from a polymeric matrix material and the molecular bonding links are covalently bonded to the matrix material. Substantially all of the abrasive particles are covalently bonded to at least one molecular bonding link. The molecular bonding links securely affix the abrasive particles to the matrix material to enhance the uniformity, of the distribution of the abrasive particles throughout the pad and to substantially prevent the abrasive particles from breaking away from the pad.

Abstract: An automated balloon inflation device which has a supply of pressurized gas, a nozzle for receiving a balloon, and an actuator for sequentially closing a clamp on the balloon and the nozzle and subsequently supplying the pressurized gas to the balloon for the inflation thereof. Furthermore, a key-weight device may be employed for the dual purpose of controlling the supply of pressurized gas to the nozzle and to prevent the inadvertent loss of an inflated balloon which is secured to the key-weight. Additionally, the automated balloon inflation device is constructed so that any consumer may inflate a balloon with pressurized gas. In another embodiment, the automated balloon inflation device employs a connection block with a series of conduits therein to interconnect the pressurized gas supply with the clamping mechanism and the nozzle. This embodiment employs a clamping mechanism which uses a piston attached to a gear wherein the gears rotate clamping jaws onto the nozzle. The present embodiment also provides a door trigger mechanism which only allows gas to flow to the nozzle and clamping mechanism when a door to the device is closed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for inverting 3-D seismic reflection data obtained from seismic surveys to derive impedance models for a subsurface region, and for inversion of multiple 3-D seismic surveys (i.e., 4-D seismic surveys) of the same subsurface volume, separated in time to allow for dynamic fluid migration, such that small scale structure and regions of fluid and dynamic fluid flow within the subsurface volume being studied can be identified. The method allows for the mapping and quantification of available hydrocarbons within a reservoir and is thus useful for hydrocarbon prospecting and reservoir management. An iterative seismic inversion scheme constrained by actual well log data which uses a time/depth dependent seismic source function is employed to derive impedance models from 3-D and 4-D seismic datasets. The impedance values can be region grown to better isolate the low impedance hydrocarbon bearing regions. Impedance data derived from multiple 3-D seismic surveys of the same volume can be compared to identify regions of dynamic evolution and bypassed pay. Effective Oil Saturation or net oil thickness can also be derived from the impedance data and used for quantitative assessment of prospective drilling targets and reservoir management.

hydrogenation of p-xylylenediamine. 
     That is, a mixture of cis and trans 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane is
isomerized by heating at 120 to 250°C in the presence of a platinum group
catalyst to change to trans isomer. 1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane containing

Abstract: In the particular embodiments described in the
specification, the velocity of a flowing liquid is
measured by emitting acoustic signals from an acoustic
signal unit into the flowing liquid and detecting signals
reflected from solid particles moving with the
liquid. A Fast Fourier Transform is performed on the
Doppler frequency signals to produce a power signal
spectrum. The resolution of the power signal spectrum
is expanded at the high frequency end by taking the
square root of the power signals and a least squares
curve fitter produces a trend line from the data points
at the upper end of the spectrum. The trend line is
extrapolated to the zero amplitude axis to produce a
signal representing the maximum velocity of the flowing
liquid and an algorithm based on the shape of the conduit
through which the liquid is flowing is used to
produce a signal representing the average velocity of
the liquid. That value, combined with a signal representing
the level of the liquid, is used to determine
the volume flow rate of the liquid.

Abstract: A printed circuit (PC) board-mountable ferrite electromagnetic
interference (EMI) filter (702, 1003, 1003") for striplines (701, 1001, 1002) of a
printed circuit (PC) board (700, 1000) that accommodates large numbers of
striplines, and is cost-effective. One embodiment of the EMI filter is used with a PC
board (700) that routes striplines (701) in a step-function (i.e., a "U"-shaped) pattern.
The EMI filter comprises a ferrite body (702) that defines two parallel passageways
(708, 709), i.e., has a figure-8 shape in cross section. The portion (710) of the PC
board that defines the stripline portions extending in the one direction lies in one
passageway, whereas the portion (711) of the PC board that defines the stripline
portions extending in the other direction lies in the other passageway. A different
embodiment of the EMI filter is used with a PC board (1000) that routes sets (1001,
1002) of striplines in a cross-hatch (i.e., a "#"-shaped) pattern, where the striplines
end (are interrupted) before intersecting so that each stripline comprises two separate
straight on-board parts. This EMI filter comprises a ferrite body (1003) that defines
two orthogonal sets (1012, 1013) of off-board "U"-shaped conductors, one set for
each orthogonal set of striplines with one conductor of a set for each stripline of a
set. Each stripline's corresponding "U"-shaped conductor interconnects the two
straight on-board parts of the stripline.

Abstract: In an apparatus for detecting the pressure condition

resonant switching device (60) is mounted

impedance state, where pressure in the tire (10) is
within a predetermined normal operating pressure range,
and a second impedance state, where the pressure in the
tire (10) is not within the pressure range. An
excitation unit (70) is mounted on the body (1) adjacent
to the tire (10). A controller (80) supplies an
excitation signal to the excitation unit (70) in order
to enable the latter to co-act with the switching device
(60) by virtue of mutual induction according to the
impedance state of the switching device (60) for
inducing current in the switching device (60) as the
switching device (60) is moved so as to be proximate
with the excitation unit (70) due to rotation of the
tire (10). The controller (80) monitors an output
signal from the excitation unit (70) and detects the
presence of a change in the output signal due to inducing
of the current in the switching device (60) during a
complete cycle of rotation of the tire (10) to enable
the controller (80) to determine the pressure condition
in the tire (10).
