Patent CA-2187269-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SATO NOBUHIKO
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 1996-10-07
Abstract: A method is provided for producing, with high reproducibility, an SOI substrate which is flat and high in quality, and simultaneously for achieving resources saving and reduction in cost through recycling of a substrate member.  For accomplishing this, a porous-forming step is performed forming a porous Si layer on at least a surface of an Si substrate and a large porosity layer forming step is performed for forming a large porosity layer in the porous Si layer.  This large porosity layer forming step is performed by implanting ions into the porous Si layer with a given projection range or by changing current density of anodization in said porous-forming step.  At this time, a non-porous single-crystal Si layer is epitaxial-grown on the porous Si layer.          Thereafter, the surface of the porous Si layer and a support substrate are bonded together, and then separation is performed at the porous Si layer with the large porosity.  Subsequently, selective etching is performed to remove the porous Si layer.

Title: Folding blade propeller
Inventor: VOSPER GEORGE W
IPC: B63H3/00
Filed: 1995-04-13
Abstract: A folding blade propeller for a power vessel wherein the blades (1, 2) are synchronized in their pivotal movement as they pivot from one position to the other by flexible links (20a, 20b).  The flexible links are connected at one end thereof to the base (8) of one propeller blade (1) and at the opposite to the base (9) of another (2) and act as pulling members.  When one blade (1) pivots the flexible link (20a, 20b) pulls on the base of the other blade (2) to which it is attached to simultaneously pivot that blade.  Slack in the links is minimized by having each link in rolling contact with rounded surfaces (8a, 9a) on the base of the respective propeller blades that are interconnected by that link.

Patent CA-2200918-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ZABETAKIS GEORGE
IPC: B01F11/00
Filed: 1997-03-25
Abstract: The method of diluting a fluid sample for analysis in a sample analysis system includes the provision of an aspiration probe with two interior sections. The first interior section of the probe has a first diameter and is proximate the aspiration opening of the probe. The second interior section of the probe has a second diameter of greater magnitude than the first diameter and is located distally of the first section. The probe aspirates in consecutive order selected amounts of fluid sample and diluent into the first interior section of the probe. The fluid sample and diluent are mixed in the second interior section of the probe by moving the sample and diluent back and forth in the second interior section a predetermined number of times. The back and forth movement of diluent and fluid sample in the second interior section of the probe provides substantially uniform mixing of the sample and diluent. The use of a Teflon (R) probe coated with fluorocarbon oil eliminates the risk of cross-contaminating the sources of fluid sample and diluent.

Title: Procedure and device for processing signals representing waves reflected or transmitted by a volumic structure with a view to exploring and analysing the structure
Inventor: DORY JACQUES
IPC: G01N22/00
Filed: 1997-07-15
Abstract: The procedure enables processing signals representing the waves reflected or transmitted by an object (O) in order to carry out an analysis of the structure of the object. The process includes transmission of waves incident on the structure and reception of the waves reflected by the object using a number of detection elements (D1 - Dn) independent of one another. After reception and digitisation the information is stored in a field memory (MC). For each point of the object (Pij) a calculation is carried out for the positions occupied in the field memory for the signals detected by each of the detection elements at a given instant. This position information is then applied to a further process which allows the determination of the size and form of the reflected wave, in order to determine the structure of the object (O).
