Patent EP-0844313-A2 (EP)
Inventor: NGAN KENNY K
IPC: H01L21/4763
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: Increased sidewall (510) coverage of channels,
vias and other high aspect ratio openings in a
substrate by a sputtered material is achieved by
generating an ionizing plasma in a relatively low
pressure sputtering gas. By reducing the pressure of
the sputtering gas, it is believed that the ionization
rate of the deposition material passing through the
plasma is correspondingly reduced which in turn is
believed to increase the sidewall coverage (510) of
underlayers (504). Although the ionization rate is
decreased, sufficient bottom coverage (508) of the
channels by the material is maintained. In an
alternative embodiment, increased sidewall coverage
by the material may be achieved even in a high
density plasma chamber by generating the high density
plasma only during an initial portion of the material
deposition. Once good bottom coverage has been
achieved, the RF power to the coil generating the high
density plasma may be turned off entirely and the
remainder of the deposition conducted without the high
density plasma. Consequently, it has been found that
good sidewall coverage is achieved in the latter part
of the deposition.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a method and equipment for measuring the amounts of beverages in protective bags (12) in large tanks (11) in various retail sales points or points of use in the distribution area of a brewery and for transmitting them to a centralized location (13) and for monitoring the condition of the refrigeration machinery (20) at each point of use. In the method the quantities of beverages are checked at regular intervals and refilling is ordered for each tank when it empties beyond a set limit. At each point of use cooling takes place by means of the aforesaid refrigeration machinery (20), which cools both the tank (11) and the malted beverage extracted for serving. At each point of use, the quantity of beverage in each tank (11) is measured at regular intervals, as is at least one operating temperature (19.1, 19.2, 19.3) of the refrigeration system, and data concerning the measured amount of beverage and temperature is transmitted to the central unit (17, 18) of the point of use, which, in a manner that is as such known, transmits the data through a remote data link to the aforesaid centralized location (13). With the aid of the quantity data received, the distribution of beers is planned in a manner that is as such known, while with the aid of the temperature data, the condition of the refrigeration machinery (20) is monitored, when it is possible to examine the refrigeration machinery (20) at a point of use that has stated temperatures deviating from the normal.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un indicateur de hauteur d'articles qui ajuste automatiquement la différence de hauteur d'articles, tels que des bouteilles, lorsque la taille des articles est modifiée lors d'un nouveau lot d'articles transportés sur une bande convoyeuse d'une machine. Un bras pivotant de détection de hauteur, situé sur une voie de la machine, en aval par rapport à une rangée de bras de détection pivotant librement, est relié par une tringlerie ajustable à un support pivotant qui supporte une cellule photoélectrique rétroréfléchissante dans une position appropriée par rapport aux bras de détection afin qu'ils ne cassent pas un faisceau lumineux provenant de la cellule photoélectrique lors du fonctionnement normal. Un article ne se trouvant pas en position droite provoquera le pivotement d'un bras de détection qui cassera le faisceau lumineux et arrêtera la machine. Lorsqu'un nouveau groupe d'articles ayant une hauteur différente arrive à un poste d'indication de hauteur d'articles, le bras de détection de hauteur déplace automatiquement la cellule photoélectrique vers sa position appropriée pour ces nouveaux articles ayant une nouvelle hauteur. La machine possède un mode 'principal' qui a la priorité sur un signal d'arrêt éventuellement envoyé par la cellule photoélectrique lors de la transition entre des groupes d'articles par le poste indicateur.

Abstract: An electroabsorptive modulator (EAM) for
providing RF modulation of optical inputs signals. The
EAM is formed as a semiconductor waveguide on a
semiconductor substrate with an optical input port and
an optical output port and electrical contacts for
connection to the RF input. The configuration of the
waveguide portion of the EAM is optimized to provide a
modal match with the particular optical device to which
the EAM is to be connected, for example, an optical
fiber. By optimizing the modal match between the EAM
and the optical device to which the EAM is connected,
the optical insertion losses are minimized thereby
improving the overall performance of the optical system.
The device is formed from a plurality of quantum wells
selected to compensate for the increased mode field
dimensions.

Filed: 1998-06-10
Abstract: Dry pastas or noodles are heated with either wet or dry
heat to convert their surface layer portion to the α-starch
and, if the heating is done by wet heat, the moisture in the
surface of the pasta or noodle strings is removed and,
thereafter, the pasta or noodle strings are put into a
sealable container, which is then injected with a specified
amount of water and sealed, followed by reheating of the
pasta or noodle strings. Pastas such as spaghetti and
macaroni or noodles such as  udon ,  soba ,  hiyamugi ,  kishimen 
and Chinese noodles can be cooked by just boiling them or a
short time or heating them in a microwave oven and yet they
develop the same texture as can be attained by fully boiling
dry or raw pastas or noodles.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved methods and apparatus for simulating the transmission of
sound from sound sources to the ear canals of a listener, said sound sources being positioned
arbitrarily in three dimensions in relation to the listener. In particular, the invention relates to
new and improved methods for measurement of Head-related Transfer Functions, new and
improved Head-related Transfer Functions, new and improved methods for processing Head-related
Transfer Functions, and new methods of changing, or of maintaining, the directions of
the sound sources as perceived by a listener. The measurement method have been improved
so that it is now possible to measure and/or construct Head-related Transfer Functions for
which the time domain descriptions are surprisingly short and for which the differences from
one individual to the other are surprisingly low. 
     The new Head-related Transfer Functions can be exploited in any application concerning
simulation of sound transmission, e.g. auralization of concert halls, measurement, simulation,
or reproduction of sound, such as in binaural synthesis, e.g. for generation, by means of two
sound sources, such as by headphones or by two loudspeakers, the perception of a listener that
he is listening to sound generated by a multichannel sound system, such as a surround system,
a quadraphonic system, a stereophonic system, etc, in the design of electronic filters used in,
e.g. virtual reality systems, to simulate sound transmission from a virtual sound source to the
ear canals of the listener, or, in the design of an artificial head that is designed so that its
Head-related Transfer Functions approximate the Head-related Transfer Functions of the
invention as closely as possible in order to make the best possible representation of humans
by the artificial head, e.g. to make artificial head recordings of optimum quality.

Abstract: A heat conductive substrate (50) is mounted within a through-opening (60) of a
printed circuit board (52). An integrated circuit (42) then is mounted to one side of the heat
conductive substrate, while a heat sink (90) is fixed in thermal contact to the other side of the
substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board. The heat
conductive substrate is mounted to the PC board by applying a controlled pressure to normal
surfaces of multiple portions (71) of the substrate. Such pressure reducing the thickness and
expands the area of the pressed portions locking the substrate to the PC board. An air gap (75)
occurs between the substrate and the PC board everywhere except for the pressed regions of the
substrate. Such pressed regions occur along the periphery (67) of the substrate.
