摘要:
An elevator drive for driving and holding an elevator car includes a traction wheel providing a driving and a holding force to the elevator car, a motor driving the traction wheel, a braking arrangement for holding the traction wheel, and a drive shaft connecting the traction wheel, the motor and the braking arrangement together. The braking arrangement includes at least two braking devices arranged, on opposite sides of the traction wheel on the drive shaft. A monitoring logic system ascertains whether an activated one of the braking devices alone can maintain the elevator car at standstill during a brief time the other of the one of the braking devices is released for issuing fault information to an elevator control.

Damaged surface areas of low-k dielectric materials may be efficiently repaired by avoiding the saturation of dangling silicon bonds after a reactive plasma treatment on the basis of OH groups, as is typically applied in conventional process strategies. The saturation of the dangling bond may be accomplished by directly initiating a chemical reaction with appropriate organic species, thereby providing superior reaction conditions, which in turn results in a more efficient restoration of the dielectric characteristics.
摘要:
By using powerful data analysis techniques, such as PCR, PLS, CLS and the like, in combination with measurement techniques providing structural information, gradually varying material characteristics may be determined during semiconductor fabrication, thereby also enabling the monitoring of complex manufacturing sequences. For instance, the material characteristics of sensitive dielectric materials, such as ULK material, may be detected, for instance with respect to an extension of a damage zone, in order to monitor the quality of metallization systems of sophisticated semiconductor devices. The inline measurement data may be obtained on the basis of infrared spectroscopy, for instance using FTIR and the like, which may even allow directly obtaining the measurement data at process chambers, substantially without affecting the overall process throughput.
摘要:
During the patterning of via openings in sophisticated metallization systems of semiconductor devices, the opening may extend through a conductive cap layer and an appropriate ion bombardment may be established to redistribute material of the underlying metal region to exposed sidewall portions of the conductive cap layer, thereby establishing a protective material. Consequently, in a subsequent wet chemical etch process, the probability for undue material removal of the conductive cap layer may be greatly reduced.

A process of preparing a lamella from a substrate includes manufacturing a protection strip on an edge portion of the lamella to be prepared from the substrate, and preparing the lamella, wherein the manufacturing the protection strip includes a first phase of activating a surface area portion of the substrate, and a second phase of electron beam assisted deposition of the protective strip on the activated surface area portion from the gas phase.
摘要:
When forming sophisticated metallization systems, surface integrity of an exposed metal surface, such as a copper-containing surface, may be enhanced by exposing the surface to a vapor of a passivation agent. Due to the corresponding interaction with the metal surface, enhanced integrity may be accomplished, while at the same time damage of exposed dielectric surface portions may be significantly reduced compared to conventional aggressive wet chemical cleaning processes that are typically used in conventional patterning regimes.

The maximum possible vertices for a trajectory are determined with a device for mammography and an associated method, so that the subject to be exposed can be completely imaged on the detector in x-ray acquisitions.
摘要:
In a device and method for processing and presenting x-ray images, an x-ray image of a subject is acquired with an x-ray acquisition cone simultaneously with the acquisition of an optical exposure of the examination subject with an optical acquisition cone that is congruent with the x-ray acquisition cone. The subject in the optical exposure is subjected to segmentation and/or edge extraction, and the extracted optical exposure and the x-ray image are additively combined so that the subject edges from the optical exposure are inserted into the x-ray image.

According to a method of producing a drink, a cold drink, in particular iced coffee is produced from a hot drink, in particular a coffee/espresso, which is produced in a drinks machine by means of a hot-drinks-preparing device (2-6). In order for optionally the hot drink or the cold drink to be produced in portions with a high taste quality, as are typical for catering and domestic use, in the case of the cold drink desired the latter is produced on a continuous basis directly after the hot drink has been prepared, without the direct addition of cooling agents, in particular ice, iced water or cooling bodies, in the same drinks machine using a cooling device (16, 23, 23′, 37, 39).
摘要:
To generate a tomosynthetic 3D x-ray image composed of a number of slice images, a tomosynthetic 3D intermediate image composed of a number of slice images is reconstructed from 2D projection images that have not been noise-filtered. The microcalcium regions contained in these slice images are segmented, and one or more subject slice images relevant to these microcalcium voxels are determined for each microcalcium region. The microcalcium voxels belonging to the segmented microcalcium region in this subject slice image or in these subject slice images are projected forwards in the 2D projection images, and the microcalcium pixels associated with these microcalcium voxels are marked in the 2D projection images. Noise-filtered 2D projection images are subsequently generated by subjecting the microcalcium pixels of the 2D projection images to no noise filtering or a noise filtering that leads to a noise reduction reduced relative to the remaining image regions. The tomosynthetic 3D x-ray image is then calculated from the 2D projection images that have been noise-filtered in this manner.
