A vehicle display system includes a display which is selectively movable between a first position in which it is viewable by a driver and a second position in which it is viewable by the rear passengers but not the driver. In the first position, the display provides a rear view from a camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle. In the second position, the display provides entertainment to the passengers in the rear seats.

An apparatus and a method of controlling an electroless deposition process by directing electromagnetic radiation towards the surface of a substrate and detecting the change in intensity of the electromagnetic radiation at one or more wavelengths reflected off features on the surface of the substrate is provided. In one embodiment, the detected end of an electroless deposition process step is measured while the substrate is rotated relative to the detection mechanism. In another embodiment, a detection mechanism, which is proximate to the processing region, directs electromagnetic radiation onto a substrate surface, which is then reflected by features on the substrate surface and is detected by the detection mechanism. In one aspect, the angle of the directed electromagnetic radiation is perpendicular to the surface of the substrate and the shape of the directed electromagnetic radiation spot is substantially circular in shape. In another aspect, the directed electromagnetic radiation spot is positioned at the center of rotation of the substrate. A controller can be used to monitor, store, and/or control the electroless deposition process by use of stored process values, comparison of data collected at different times, and various calculated time dependent data.

The invention relates generally to processes for the production of high-basicity and ultr-high basicity polyaluminum chlorides including aluminum chlorohydrate. The processes can produce products of a wide range of basicities and are particularly useful in producing high basicity products. The process can produce a wide range of solution concentrations and are particularly useful in producing high solution concentrations. The processes described generate high purity products, which are free of by-product salt(s). The processes described herein can also be utilized to produce enhanced efficacy polyaluminum chlorides including aluminum chlorohydrate.

An substrate support pedestal having an RF contact assembly that utilizes a canted spring to make electrical connection to the cathode. The canted spring has coils that are tilted in one direction and joined end to end to form a doughnut shape. Such a spring creates multiple parallel self-loading electrical connections via the turns of the spring. The turns act like electrical wires to ensure reliable RF electrical energy transfer. The canted spring contact of the present invention allows for flat contact between the pedestal and the chuck.

A completely differential approach to correcting duty-cycle distortions of a differential clock signal propagating through a differential amplifier. A duty-cycle distortion correction (DCDC) differential amplifier circuit/device is provided with a differential amplifier whose output wires are coupled to a correction circuit. The correction circuit comprises a differential low pass filter and a differential correction amplifier. The differential correction amplifier's output is dotted back into the output of the amplifier. The differential output of the amplifier is passed through the low pass filter, which provides differential DC output signals that triggers respective correction amplifier transistors to generate an inverted correction current that is added back to respective differential output pulse. The DCDC differential amplifier provides a completely differential approach to correction of duty-cycle distortions within the differential output.

摘要:
An apparatus and a method of depositing a catalytic layer comprising at least one metal selected from the group consisting of noble metals, semi-noble metals, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof in sub-micron features formed on a substrate. Examples of noble metals include palladium and platinum. Examples of semi-noble metals include cobalt, nickel, and tungsten. The catalytic layer may be deposited by electroless deposition, electroplating, or chemical vapor deposition. In one embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited in the feature to act as a barrier layer to a subsequently deposited conductive material. In another embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited over a barrier layer. In yet another embodiment, the catalytic layer may be deposited over a seed layer deposited over the barrier layer to act as a “patch” of any discontinuities in the seed layer. Once the catalytic layer has been deposited, a conductive material, such as copper, may be deposited over the catalytic layer. In one embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroless deposition. In another embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroless deposition followed by electroplating or followed by chemical vapor deposition. In still another embodiment, the conductive material is deposited over the catalytic layer by electroplating or by chemical vapor deposition.
