Abstract: Multilevel pattern registration is achieved by modifying the shape of an exposure pattern according to deviation of the shape of a microlithographically defined pattern due to distortion produced on a substrate. A substrate to be exposed is pretreated in a given manner. The substrate is photographed to obtain image data (1). Processing for extracting feature points is performed from the image data. Results of the extraction of feature points and design pattern data to be exposed are compared (2). Processing for detecting amounts of deviations is performed (3). Using results of the processing for detecting amounts of deviations, processing for modifying shapes of images in the design pattern data is performed (4). The images obtained by the results of the processing for modifying the shapes of the images are produced as an exposure pattern by an exposure image generator (5). The exposure pattern is exposed onto the exposed substrate (6).

Abstract: An image signal processing method and system, which can greatly reduce the data size upon transmitting an image signal or storing the signal in a storage medium, and can obtain a high-quality image by preventing image quality after color processing from deteriorating. According to the method for processing an image signal output from an image sensing element, a compression step of compressing the image signal and an expansion step of expanding the compressed image signal are executed without executing color processing for executing at least white balance correction or correction, and the color processing is executed after completion of the compression and expansion steps, thereby preventing occurrence of block noise and high-frequency noise associated with compressing/expanding image data after the color processing of the image signal.

Abstract: A memory which solves a problem of a conventional memory in that it was difficult for the conventional memory to shorten the fall time of its output signal without increasing its size. The number of paths is increased for discharging each of read bit lines by connecting to each of the read bit lines one or more additional transistors for discharging the read bit line, and by utilizing the transistors associated with other read bit line or lines to discharge the particular read bit line. The additional transistors can be provided between the existing transistors. This makes it possible to shorten the discharge time without increasing the size of the memory.

Abstract: A catalyst obtained by admixing red mud with alumina or/and an alumina-containing substance, optionally adjusting the water content of the admixture and/or adding an organic binder to the admixture, kneading and shaping the admixture into pellets having suitable size and shape, and calcining the pellets of 600.degree.

The rate of demetallization is enhanced when the process is carried out using a hydrogen feed containing hydrogen sulfide.
