Invertable pattern loading with dry etch

A method of etching silicon oxide from a narrow trench and a wide trench (or open area) is described which allows the etch in the wide trench to progress further than the etch in the narrow trench. The method includes two dry etch cycles. The first dry etch cycle involves a low intensity or abbreviated sublimation step which leaves solid residue in the narrow trench. The remaining solid residue inhibits etch progress in the narrow trench during the second dry etch cycle allowing the etch in the wide trench to overtake the etch in the narrow trench.

Efficient water treatment flocculant

The invention relates to a high efficiency water treatment flocculant for drinking water and water treatment comprising a metal cation flocculant which is characterized in that the high efficiency water treatment flocculant also comprises a high efficiency adsorption component and an assistant medicament to be remixed, inwhich the weight ratio is: the high efficiency adsorption component 5-15%, the metal cation flocculant 50-85%, the assistant medicament 5-15%. The obvious characteristics of the invention are that each component can play the advantages of high intensity of the flocs of the inorganic flocculant and large flocs of the polymeric flocculant, overcomes the drawback of small flocs of the inorganic flocculant and low intensity of the flocs of the organic flocculant. The existence of the high adsorption component plays the action of adsorption of the organic compounds and heavy metal ion which are difficult to flocculat and precipitate, also plays the role of aid-coagulation, decoloration and deflavour. Thus the flocculant of the invention has advantages of good coagulation effect, large alum blossom, rapid settling velocity, good effluent quality and few dosage or the like.

Treating cancer using electromagnetic fields in combination with other treatment regimens

Chemotherapeutic treatment for certain cancers may be combined with low intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields that are tuned to a particular type of target cell. When the tuned fields were combined with Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin or Cyclophosphamide, excellent results were obtained against human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung (H1299) carcinomas in culture. More specifically, cell proliferation inhibition similar to that obtained by drug alone was reached by exposure to the combined treatment at drug concentrations between one and two orders of magnitude lower than for drug-only regimens of treatment.

Laser-produced plasma EUV light source with pre-pulse enhancement

An EUV radiation source that employs a low energy laser pre-pulse and a high energy laser main pulse. The pre-pulse generates a weak plasma in the target area that improves laser absorption of the main laser pulse to improve EUV radiation emissions. High energy ion flux is reduced by collisions in the localized target vapor cloud generated by the pre-pulse. Also, the low energy pre-pulse arrives at the target area 20-200 ns before the main pulse for maximum output intensity. The timing between the pre-pulse and the main pulse can be reduced below 160 ns to provide a lower intensity of the EUV radiation. In one embodiment, the pre-pulse is split from the main pulse by a suitable beam splitter having the proper beam intensity ratio, and the main pulse is delayed to arrive at the target area after the pre-pulse.

Multiple light sensors and algorithms for luminance control of mobile display devices

In a method of controlling a lighting unit of a display, a maximum value of ambient light intensity is determined (156). Ambient light intensity is sensed (154) from a first direction relative to the display and from a second direction, different from the first direction, relative to the display. The lighting unit is driven so that light from the lighting unit has a low intensity (172) when the maximum value is less than a first intensity threshold and so that light from the lighting unit has a high intensity, greater than the low intensity, when the maximum value is greater than a second intensity threshold.

Laser irradiation apparatus and laser irradiation method

A laser beam having homogeneous intensity distribution is delivered without causing interference stripes of a laser to appear on an irradiation surface. A laser beam emitted from a laser oscillator passes through a diffractive optical element so that the intensity distribution thereof is homogenized. The beam emitted from the diffractive optical element then passes through a slit so that low-intensity end portions in a major-axis direction of the beam are blocked. Subsequently, the beam passes through a projecting lens and a condensing lens, so that an image of the slit is projected onto the irradiation surface. The projecting lens is provided so that the slit and the irradiation surface are conjugated. Thus, the irradiation surface can be irradiated with the laser having homogeneous intensity while preventing the diffraction by the slit.
