Patent number: 5895392Abstract: A flexible collapsible bag is introduced into the abdominal cavity to remove larger portions of tissue from the abdominal cavity through a threaded casing introduced into the abdominal wall. The bag has a side opening through which the tissue can be moved into the bag. The bag has an end opening which remains extracorporeal to the threaded casing in the abdominal wall. After partially pulling out the bag, the side opening is located outside of the threaded casing, and the tissue, which is tightly enclosed by the portion of the bag remaining in the abdominal cavity, is cut into pieces, as by cutting filaments having portions at the bottom of the bag and extending extracorporeally through the threaded casing and the end opening of the bag.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Inventors: Siegfried Riek, Karl-Heinz Bachmann, Thomas Gaiselmann

Patent number: 5882980Abstract: There are disclosed a bipolar alignment mark structure for semiconductor device and a process for forming the same. The bipolar alignment mark structure comprises: a semiconductor substrate having a scribe region for defining a integrated circuit region; a plurality of negatively polar alignment marks having a form of trench which are aligned on the scribe region regularly distant from one another; and a plurality of positively polar alignment marks having a form of column which are aligned in such a way that they alternate with the negatively polar alignment marks. A step generated in the structure is more enlarged, which allows easy and accurate measurement of alignment mark. Based on this ease, the structure gives convenience to the fabrication process for a semiconductor device, along with high yield. In addition, the accuracy in measuring alignment mark can bring about an effect that the semiconductor device is improved in reliability.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1997Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Assignee: Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd.Inventor: Sang Man Bae

Patent number: 5880039Abstract: A method for forming an interlayer insulating film of semiconductor device is disclosed. A first interlayer insulating film is deposited on the entire top surface of a semiconductor device comprising a high step cell area and lower step periphery area, followed by the thermal treatment thereof. A second interlayer insulating film which is more resistant to etch than the first interlayer insulating film is deposited. Again, a third interlayer insulating film is deposited over the second interlayer insulating film, followed by the heat treatment thereof. These interlayer insulating films are planarized by a CMP process. Upon the CMP process, the first interlayer insulating film is rapidly etched out while the second interlayer insulating film is slowly removed and this difference in etching rate allows the polishing end point to be readily detected without an additional detector.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1997Date of Patent: March 9, 1999Assignee: Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd.Inventor: Sahng Kyoo Lee

Patent number: 5840792Abstract: There is incorporated as a stabilizer into a halogen-containing resin a complex hydroxide salt represented by the formula?Al.sub.2 (Li.sub.(1-x).M.sub.x)(OH).sub.6 !.sub.n (A.sup.-n).sub.1+x.mH.sub.2 Owherein A is an inorganic or organic anion, M is Mg and/or Zn, n is a valence number of anion A, m is 0 or positive number, and x satisfies the expression of 0.01.ltoreq.x<1.This complex hydroxide salt causes almost no occurrence of initial coloration when incorporated in halogen-containing resins because a part of lithium ion to enter a vacant site of aluminum hydroxide octahedron layer of the gibbsite structure in the lithium aluminum complex hydroxide salt is substituted for the metal ions of Mg and/or Zn. By substitution of a part of lithium ion for the divalent metal ions, the amount of charge-supplying anion is increased and the thermally stabilizing ability is superior to that of the lithium aluminum complex hydroxide salts.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hitoshi Machimura, Akiko Taniguchi, Tatsuo Murakami
