A computer workstation runs an application 10 to participate in a video conference. The workstation contains a video adapter card 18 which converts a video signal produced by a camera 20 into a hardware specific format. Likewise, the video adapter card can also be used to display incoming video signals that are in the same hardware specific format. The workstation also contains software support mo...

A cleaning process and water-based cleaning compositions effective for the r emoval of radionuclides, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals from surfaces of all types, more es pecially porous surfaces, surfaces that contain irregula rities and microspcopic voids into which contaminants may migrate and lodge thereby cre ating a substrate below the surface that must als...

The structure is characterized by active regions, of the transistor, which are of the island form consisting of field oxides formed on the trench of the transistor. The drain region (16) and the word line (10) are insulated by the space (5a) and the gate is directly connected to the word line. The electrode for storing the capacitor is formed on the drain region and then the dielectric film and th...
