摘要:
Positive resists are formed from a soluble phenolic resin and a sensitizer which is a diester of a 1-oxo-2-diazonaphthalene sulfonic acid and of an unsymmetrical primary or secondary aliphatic diol which is a mixture of geometric and diastereoisomers.

Connected to the contestant game pieces of a J-shaped racecourse game are pull cords guided at a semi-circular turn by laterally-spaced guide members and at the finish line by laterally-spaced upper guide holes in the top wall, whence the pull cords pass through radially-spaced intermediate cord guide holes on a pivoted lane-length-compensating sector gear, and finally through lower cord guide holes in a fixed guide bar to connections on the winding hubs of multiple geared spools loosely and rotatably mounted upon a stationary cross shaft. The geared spools mesh with an elongated half gear on a drive shaft rotated by an external hand crank and carrying a sector gear drive gear meshing with the sector gear teeth. The teeth terminate in a lock notch engageable by a lock pin normally slidable along the top face of the sector gear until it reaches its foremost position, whereupon the lock pin drops into the lock nut to lock the sector gear until the end of the race. The pull cords wind differently at random along the hubs of their respective geared spools, thereby causing chance to determine the winner. Disengaging the half gear from the gear spools enables the contestant pieces to be pulled along their respective lanes back to the starting gate for the next race.

In a first stage or operation, at least one shear initiation breakthrough opening is formed through the ultra-high strength material sheet at an interior location. A leading terminal end of each of at least two inclined shearing edges of an interior opening shearing tool is positioned in the at least one shear initiation breakthrough opening. The interior opening shearing tool is different from the breakthrough opening forming tool. In a second stage or operation, shearing of the material is initiated from the at least one shear initiation breakthrough opening by advancing the at least two inclined shearing edges of the interior opening shearing tool against the ultra-high strength material sheet and relative to a corresponding shearing tool.

An asset locator device including (a) a wireless receiver capable of receiving an identifier signal transmitted from a short range wireless transmitter device; (b) a wireless transmitter capable of transmitting a message to a space based network; (c) a positioning system capable of determining the location of the locator device; (d) a vibration sensor; and (e) a controller. The controller instructs the asset locator to: (i) attempt to detect the identifier signal from the transmitter device if the vibration sensor senses vibration; and (ii) transmit a signal, including an asset location, to the space based network if: (1) the identifier signal is not detected; and (2) location fixes from the positioning system indicate a location change of the asset.
摘要:
Methods of minimizing or eliminating plasma damage to low k and ultra low k organosilicate intermetal dielectric layers are provided. The reduction of the plasma damage is effected by interrupting the etch and strip process flow at a suitable point to add an inventive treatment which protects the intermetal dielectric layer from plasma damage during the plasma strip process. Reduction or elimination of a plasma damaged region in this manner also enables reduction of the line bias between a line pattern in a photoresist and a metal line formed therefrom, and changes in the line width of the line trench due to a wet clean after the reactive ion etch employed for formation of the line trench and a via cavity. The reduced line bias has a beneficial effect on electrical yields of a metal interconnect structure.

A resist medium in which features are lithographically produced by scanning a surface of the medium with an AFM probe positioned in contact therewith. The resist medium comprises a substrate; and a polymer resist layer within which features are produced by mechanical action of the probe. The polymer contains thermally reversible crosslinkages. Also disclosed are methods that generally includes scanning a surface of the polymer resist layer with an AFM probe positioned in contact with the resist layer, wherein heating the probe and a squashing-type mechanical action of the probe produces features in the layer by thermally reversing the crosslinkages.

A method of forming a metal oxide nanostructure comprises disposing a chelated oligomeric metal oxide precursor on a solvent-soluble template to form a first structure comprising a deformable chelated oligomeric metal oxide precursor layer; setting the deformable chelated oligomeric metal oxide precursor layer to form a second structure comprising a set metal oxide precursor layer; dissolving the solvent-soluble template with a solvent to form a third structure comprising the set metal oxide precursor layer; and thermally treating the third structure to form the metal oxide nanostructure.

Disclosed are systems, apparatus and methods for tracking or locating an asset along with providing emergency and non-emergency messaging services. An asset tracker is disposed on an asset. The asset tracker has a motion sensor, a GPS receiver and a simplex satellite transmitter for communicating with a remote location (back office processing center). The asset tracker also has a short-range transceiver for communicating with a fob device carried by a user. If an authorized fob device is not in range of the asset tracker device and the asset tracker device moves, as determined by the motion sensor and/or GPS location data, GPS data are transmitted via a satellite to the back office. The office sends the information to a desired recipient (asset owner, law enforcement, etc.). The fob device communicates with the asset tracker device when it is in proximity thereof. The fob device is programmed to have depressible buttons that transmit emergency and non-emergency messages to the asset tracker device which communicates the GPS location and message via a satellite to the back office. The back office sends the information to a desired recipient. Messages processed at the processing center are sent as email messages to one or more designated email addresses, as a short message service (SMS) messages to one or more designated cell phones, or as messages to an asset recovery service or 911 emergency center.

A method of fabricating a low-k dielectric material with increased cohesive strength for use in electronic structures including interconnect and sensing structures is provided. The method includes the deposition of the dielectric material from a first precursor which is an carbosilane or an alkoxycarbosilane molecule.
摘要:
Precursors are provided for dielectric compositions that are useful in the manufacture of electronic devices such as integrated circuit devices and integrated circuit packaging devices. The dielectric compositions are prepared by crosslinking a thermally decomposable porogen to a host polymer via a coupling agent, followed by heating to a temperature suitable to decompose the porogen. The porous materials that result have dielectric constants of less than 2.4.
