摘要:
An element handling system utilizes an element retrieval device and a decoder. The element retrieval device is configured to retrieve and transport a movable element in response to control data. The decoder is coupled to the element retrieval device. The decoder is configured to filter a combined power and control signal to recover an encoded control signal. The decoder is further configured to decode the control signal to recover the control data.

An embodiment of the invention is a Schottky diode 22 having a semiconductor substrate 3, a first metal 24, a barrier layer 26, and second metal 28. Another embodiment of the invention is a method of manufacturing a Schottky diode 22 that includes providing a semiconductor substrate 3, forming a barrier layer 26 over the semiconductor substrate 3, forming a first metal layer 23 over the semiconductor substrate 3, annealing the semiconductor substrate 3 to form areas 24 of reacted first metal and areas 23 of un-reacted first metal, and removing selected areas 23 of the un-reacted first metal. The method further includes forming a second metal layer 30 over the semiconductor substrate 3 and annealing the semiconductor substrate 3 to form areas 28 of reacted second metal and areas 30 of un-reacted second metal

Disclosed are compositions and/or paints containing hydrolytic enzyme(s), microorganism(s), or mixtures of the hydrolytic enzyme(s) and microorganism(s), wherein the microorganism or hydrolytic enzyme remove undesired growth from a surface. Such compositions and/or paints may contain a catalytically effective amount of an inorganic salt. Also disclosed are articles coated with the composition and/or paint. Finally, methods are disclosed for reducing fouling of a marine surface, for reducing marine corrosion, for limiting absorption of water by a marine surface, for reducing the coefficient of drag of a marine surface, removing marine growth from a marine surface, and for reducing mildew fungus on a marine surface.
摘要:
An assembly for ensuring a correct lateral positioning of an elongated material conveyed along a feeder system and prior to a forming operation. The elongated material is fed from such as an unreeling coil and includes first and second lateral edges. First and second bodies are located along the feeder system and in communication with at least one of the lateral edges associated with the elongated material. Each of the bodies includes a fixed component secured to a rail extending laterally above the feeder system. A laterally displaceable component is biasingly secured to the fixed component and includes a roller in communication with a selected lateral edge of the elongated material. The bodies are laterally displaced, upon misalignment of the elongated material relative to the biasingly engaged roller. A sensor associated with each of the bodies causes an alarm signal to be issued to a processor, indicating the misalignment condition.
摘要:
Water-soluble polymers that thicken reversibly in aqueous solution on alteration of the degree of alkalinity are manufactured by treating an aqueous suspension of protein with the enzymes elaborated extracellularly by a species of the genus Pseudomonas. The water soluble polymers resulting therefrom are biodegradable. They are useful for stabilizing emulsions, as flow-control agents in water base paint, and as anti- redeposition agents in laundry detergents. They are particularly useful as coagulants for colloidal suspensions of solids such as the phosphate slimes byproduct of the large scale hydraulic mining of phosphate deposits. They are also particularly useful as flow control agents in the water flooding process for the recovery of petroleum.
摘要:
An integrated circuit comprising interconnects located in a layer on a semiconductor substrate. The circuit also comprises dummy-fill-structures located between the interconnects in the layer. The dummy-fill-structures form a plurality of fiducials, each of the fiducials being located in a different region of the layer. Each fiducial comprises a pre-defined recognition pattern that is different from every other fiducial in adjacent regions of the layer.
