When a natural oxide film is left at the interface between a metal silicide layer and a silicon nitride film, in various heating steps (steps involving heating of a semiconductor substrate, such as various insulation film and conductive film deposition steps) after deposition of the silicon nitride film, the metal silicide layer partially abnormally grows due to oxygen of the natural oxide film occurring on the metal silicide layer surface. A substantially non-bias (including low bias) plasma treatment is performed in a gas atmosphere containing an inert gas as a main component on the top surface of a metal silicide film of nickel silicide or the like over source/drain of a field-effect transistor forming an integrated circuit. Then, a silicon nitride film serving as an etching stop film of a contact process is deposited. As a result, without causing undesirable cutting of the metal silicide film, the natural oxide film over the top surface of the metal silicide film can be removed.

A flash memory device, and a method of operating the same, is disclosed. The array of the flash memory device is arranged in pages of memory cells, each page having memory cells associated into groups of memory cells within the page for purposes of fail bit detection in program verification. For example, these groups may correspond to sectors within the page. In a programming operation, the verify process determines whether each group of memory cells within the page has fewer than a selected ignore bit limit for the sector. If not, additional programming is required for the insufficiently programmed cells in the page. By applying a fail bit detection threshold for each of multiple groups within the page, the efficiency of error correction coding in the flash memory is improved. A similar verify and fail bit detection approach may be used in erase and soft programming operations.

A catadioptric projection optical system for forming a reduced image of a first surface (R) on a second surface (W) is a relatively compact projection optical system having excellent imaging performance as well corrected for various aberrations, such as chromatic aberration and curvature of field, and being capable of securing a large effective image-side numerical aperture while suitably suppressing reflection loss on optical surfaces. The projection optical system comprises at least two reflecting mirrors (CM1, CM2), and a boundary lens (Lb) whose surface on the first surface side has a positive refracting power, and an optical path between the boundary lens and the second surface is filled with a medium (Lm) having a refractive index larger than 1.1. Every transmitting member and every reflecting member with a refracting power forming the projection optical system are arranged along a single optical axis (AX) and the projection optical system has an effective imaging area of a predetermined shape not including the optical axis.

A scalable Media-on-Demand (MoD) method to a large group of users in the Internet. This method makes use of peer buffering capabilities to collaborate in the distribution and downloading of media, facilitated by a central repository for the search of optimal peers as parent nodes to connect to and for the support of advanced features such as fast forward and backward plays. The method relieves the server load by shifting the media streaming functionality to the client side with high media receiving continuity and quality, leading to well-balanced and low network loads.

The present invention describes methods and processes for the production of proteins, particularly glycoproteins, by animal cell or mammalian cell culture, illustratively, but not limited to, fed-batch cell cultures. The methods comprise feeding the cells with D-galactose, preferably with feed medium containing D-galactose, preferably daily, to sustain a sialylation effective level of D-galactose in the culture for its duration, thus increasing sialylation of the produced proteins. The methods can also comprise at least two temperature shifts performed during the culturing period, in which the temperature is lower at the end of the culturing period than at the time of initial cell culture. The cell culture processes of the invention involving two or more temperature shifts sustain a high cell viability, and can allow for an extended protein production phase. The methods can also comprise the delayed addition of polyanionic compound at a time after innoculation. Supplementation of the cultures with D-galactose, preferably in a feed medium, to sustain galactose at sialylation effective levels in the cultures until the end of a culture run reverses a decline in sialylation that accompanies culture scale up, and is advantageous for large scale culturing processes.

The present invention provides a method for the recognition of objects in an image, where the objects may consist of an arbitrary number of parts that are allowed to move with respect to each other. In the offline phase the invention automatically learns the relative movements of the single object parts from a sequence of example images and builds a hierarchical model that incorporates a description of the single object parts, the relations between the parts, and an efficient search strategy. This is done by analyzing the pose variations (e.g., variations in position, orientation, and scale) of the single object parts in the example images. The poses can be obtained by an arbitrary similarity measure for object recognition, e.g., normalized cross correlation, Hausdorff distance, generalized Hough transform, the modification of the generalized Hough transform, or the similarity measure. In the online phase the invention uses the hierarchical model to efficiently find the entire object in the search image. During the online phase only valid instances of the object are found, i.e., the object parts are not searched for in the entire image but only in a restricted portion of parameter space that is defined by the relations between the object parts within the hierarchical model, what facilitates an efficient search and makes a subsequent validation step unnecessary.
