    摘要: Apparatus and method for cleaning/etching the surface of an article with sonic energy in the megahertz range which employ an anti-reflection mechanism within a recirculation tank. A tank having at least one side wall and a bottom structure holds a cleaning/etching liquid and a megasonic transducer is associated with the tank for projecting megasonic energy into the liquid. The anti-reflection mechanism is disposed within the tank in close association with the at least one sidewall or bottom structure of the tank to thereby minimize reflection of megasonic energy from the associated surface. Preferably, the megasonic transducer is associated with a first tank sidewall which opposes a second tank sidewall, and the anti-reflection mechanism is disposed adjacent the second tank sidewall. By way of example, the anti-reflection mechanism can comprise a stream of gas bubbles, a plurality of anechoic structures, or a combination of both gas bubbles and anechoic structures.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for making circuit elements by photolithography comprising depositing an antireflective polyimide or polyimide precursor layer on a substrate and heating the substrate at 200.degree. C. to 500.degree. C. to provide a functional integrated circuit element that includes an antireflective polyimide layer. The antireflective polyimide layer contains a sufficient concentration of at least one chromophore to give rise to an absorbance sufficient to attenuate actinic radiation at 405 or 436 nm. Preferred chromophores include those arising from perylenes, naphthalenes and anthraquinones. The chromophore may reside in a dye which is a component of the polyimide coating mixture or it may reside in a residue which is incorporated into the polyimide itself.

    摘要: A safety shutdown system for a vehicle containing a hazardous fluid material such as gasoline, liquid propane gas (LPG) or anhydrous ammonia (NH.sub.3) permits turn-off of the vehicle's engine and closure of the vehicle's storage tank valves by the vehicle's operator remotely located from the vehicle. The system includes a hand-held controller including a receiver and transmitter as well as a receiver/transmitter combination located in the vehicle's cab. The transmitter in the cab is coupled to a vehicle-mounted flow meter for providing an RF signal to the remote receiver for display on the hand-held controller of the amount of material discharged from the vehicle's tank. The cab-mounted receiver is responsive to an operator-initiated shutdown signal emitted by the remote controller and is coupled to a pulling solenoid which is, in turn, coupled to the storage tank valves via a cable for closing the valves and stopping the flow of hazardous material when the controller is actuated. Receipt of a shutdown signal by the vehicle-mounted receiver also results in immediate turn-off of the vehicle's engine to prevent a spark-initiated explosion and turn-off of an engine powered discharge pump attached to the vehicle' s storage tank. The remotely controlled shutdown system provides safe and reliable control of hazardous material handling, particularly in an emergency situation such as in-volving a fire or accidental spill of the material.
