A layer of electrically conductive material (2) is deposited. on a silica glass substrate (1) with a surface to be etched. A pattern (4) reproducing the etching pattern to be fabricated on the substrate surface is formed on such conductive material (2) through deposition, exposure and development of a resist (3), by leaving uncovered the areas of said conductive material layer (2) corresponding to...

A method of fabricating a multi-chamber type DRAM cell capacitor having high capacitance within a limited area. A first concave area (54) of the storage electrode (72) is formed by means of an oxide film (46) as a scarifying layer. An insulating spacer (58) is formed in the first concave area (54). Then, first and second conduction layers (48, 60) are formed on the substrate (26) and top portions ...

The invention concerns a method for the biological treatment of an aqueous effluent for its purification whereby the effluent is contacted with activated sludge in at least a biological treatment pond (1), the biologically treated effluent is then clarified (2), part of the excess sludge derived from clarification (2) being returned (6) to the top of said pond. Said method is characterised in that...

Date Aug. 7, 1997This hip prosthesis includes a femoral stem (3), a spherical head (6) designed to fit over a neck (5) of the femoral stem, and a metal socket (1) in which the head can articulate; a cup (7) is inserted between the head (6) and the socket, the head...

In the process, material not capable of metallisation, which adheres to the first, or body material is moulded onto it, preferably in the mould, as a thin, applied sheet. On extraction from the mould, the thin sheet adheres to the body, remaining there, to form a part of the external surface. Also claimed is the decorated lid as above, in which the internal surface in contact with the contents com...

Method for enhancing echogenicity of synthetic polymeric microparticles in ultrasonic imaging, by incorporating a fluorinated gas instead of air in the microparticle, is new. Also claimed is a composition for ultrasound imaging comprising a synthetic biocompatible polymeric microparticle incorporating a fluorinated gas to enhance imaging, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also claimed is ...

The present invention relates to a process for the production of structurally pure lactitol crystal forms selected from the group consisting of anhydrous lactitol, lactitol monohydrate, lactitol dihydrate and lactitol trihydrate. The crystallization is performed by cooling a lactitol solution from a temperature at or slightly below the highest temperature of the stability area of the respective cr...

A high-relief, resiliently flexible composite molded plastic product (21). The product (21) includes a relatively rigid injection molded core member (22) having a pair of oppositely facing core shoulders (26,27), and a plastic sleeve member (23) with sleeve shoulders (36,37) interengaged with the core shoulders (26,27). The sleeve member (23) is rotationally cast or molded from a plastisol dispers...

A vertically structured transistor and method for manufacturing the same achieves a highly integrated semiconductor device. A pillar is vertically formed on a semiconductor substrate and forms a channel region of the transistor. A gate electrode is formed in a self-alignment fashion so as to surround the sides of the pillar with a gate insulating film imposed therebetween. A source region and a dr...

Absorbent product such as an incontinence pad, sanitary pad, diaper, absorbent inlay or the like, having a central absorbent portion with an upper permeable surface. The absorbent product also has a fluid-impermeable backsheet. In order to provide width adaptation and to allow a basin-shape to be formed in the product, two lateral portions are provided. Each of the lateral portions extends in the ...
