    摘要: The methods and devices described below allow users of CMP tools to quickly calibrate Spindle Force, Wafer Force, and Retaining Ring Force using mechanisms, load cells, a control computer, and force equations. The control computer can test a variety of pressures in the inflatable seal or the inflatable membrane, depending on the wafer carrier configuration, to determine a unique calibration in real time for the particular wafer carrier that is being tested and used during the polishing process.

    摘要: A pivoting wafer carrier having a minimum of internal friction and a smooth, continuous pivoting motion. The pivot mechanism includes a lower ring mounted on a pressure plate, an upper ring mounted on a housing upper plate and ball transfer units disposed on the lower ring. Corresponding bearing wedges depend downwardly from the upper ring. As the pressure plate tilts during the polishing process, the load balls of the ball transfer units roll against the corresponding wedges, thus producing a smooth, continuous pivoting motion. A universal joint may be provided to the carrier to effect the rotation of the carrier and to aid the smooth, continuous pivoting motion of the wafer carrier.

    摘要: The methods of the present invention demonstrate that adrenomedullin (AM) is expressed in human cancer cell lines of diverse origin and functions as a universal autocrine growth factor driving neoplastic proliferation. The present invention provides for AM peptides and AM antibodies useful in therapeutic, pharmacologic and physiologic compositions. The present invention additionally provides for methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease utilizing compositions comprising the AM peptides and antibodies of the present invention. The methods of the present invention also provide for experimental models for use in identifying the role of AM in pancreatic physiology. The methods pertaining to rat isolated islets have show that AM inhibits insulin secretion in a dose-dependent manner. The monoclonal antibody MoAb-G6, which neutralizes AM bioactivity, was show by the methods of the present invention to increase insulin release fivefold, an effect that was reversed by the addition of synthetic AM.

    摘要: A theater rigging assembly having a beam, which is attached to structural support members of a theater or other performing arts venue. The assembly further includes a winch assembly and head block that can be positioned at any point along the beam and selectively fixed in position. The winch portion includes cables for raising and lowering battens or other loads. The head block includes head sheaves, which redirect the cables to loft sheaves that are selectively attached to the beam. The head sheaves are diagonally displaced to separate the cables. The winch portion includes a motor, a gear box, a drum and a brake. The brake includes a ratchet and two brake disks.

    摘要: The resolution of one or more components of image data is changed to generate scaled image data and transparency processing is applied to the scaled image data, wherein the transparency processing is taken into account during the changing of the resolution of the image data. In a preferred embodiment in which a video codec applies transparency processing during the compression of subsampled video data, the capture processor applies the same transparency mask during data subsampling to decrease color-bleeding effects that may otherwise appear in the decoded video stream.
