A solid polymer electrolyte membrane having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, where the solid polymer electrolyte membrane has a failure force greater than about 115 grams and comprises a composite membrane consisting essentially of (a) at least one expanded PTFE membrane having a porous microstructure of polymeric fibrils, and (b) at least one ion exchange material impregnated throughout the porous microstructure of the expanded PTFE membrane so as to render an interior volume of the expanded PTFE membrane substantially occlusive; (c) at least one substantially occlusive, electronically insulating first composite layer interposed between the expanded PTFE membrane and the first surface, the first composite layer comprising a plurality of first carbon particles supporting a catalyst comprising platinum and an ion exchange material, wherein a plurality of the first carbon particles has a particle size less than about 75 nm, or less than about 50 nm, or less than about 25 nm.
摘要:
The invention relates to an aqueous cleaning composition for wafers with copper wires that have been treated by chemical mechanical planarization in an integrated circuit processing, comprising 0.1 to 15 wt % of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic base, 0.1 to 35 wt % of an alcohol amine and water. Upon contact with copper-containing semiconductor wafers that have been treated by chemical mechanical planarization for an effective period of time, the aqueous cleaning composition can effectively remove residual contaminants from the surfaces of the wafers, and simultaneously provide the copper-containing semiconductor wafers with a better surface roughness.

The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing process for polishing the surface of a semiconductor wafer, which comprises the steps of separately preparing a chemical agent and an abrasive agent, combining them into an abrasive slurry at the beginning of the polishing procedure or at the platen end, and polishing the metal layer on the surface of the semiconductor wafer with said admixed abrasive slurry. The invention further provides a chemical-mechanical polishing slurry for polishing the surface of a semiconductor wafer, characterized by being prepared by the steps of separately preparing a chemical agent and an abrasive agent and then combining them at the beginning of the polishing procedure or at the platen end, wherein said chemical agent comprises an aqueous medium, a corrosion inhibitor, and an ionic surfactant, and said abrasive agent comprises abrasive particles and deionized water.
摘要:
A tunable optical filter is based on a conventional thin film optical filter. The thickness of the thin film optical filter determines the optical properties of the filter, specifically the pass band. The thin film optical filter is arranged within a hole extending through a layer of piezoelectric material such that the periphery of the thin film optical filter is secured to the periphery of the hole. Electrodes are provided on opposite surfaces of the piezoelectric layer such that different voltage levels can be applied. The resulting deformation of the piezoelectric layer causes a difference in the thickness of the thin film optical filter thereby permitting tuning of the optical filter.

摘要:
In one embodiment a gait training system includes a patient interface adapted to attach to a patient's thigh, the patient interface defining a channel, a cord that passes through the channel of the patient interface, and connecting means attached to a first end of the cord for connecting the cord to the patient's forefoot, wherein pulling of the cord pulls the patient interface forward and upward to emulate hip flexion and simultaneously pulls the connecting means upward to emulate ankle dorsiflexion.
摘要:
A system and method for real-time network communications provides a session identifier as a public key for group communication between clients, and provides a channel identifier representing a private key for each of a plurality of clients. The channel identifier includes client-specific attributes, which function to indicate grouping criteria for the group communication. A dynamic communication link is created over a network between a client and a service based upon the public and private key combination such that group communication is enabled based upon the attributes of the private key and the public key. Communications are translated using a translation service which employs the attributes associated with the private key and the public key combination to provide response information in a designated language to enable multi-lingual real-time communications.
