Abstract: The invention relates to a CVD reactor, with a process chamber (4) which is arranged therein and into which a process gas can be fed by means of a gas inlet member (2), with a substrate holder (3) which, on the upper side (3?) thereof facing the process chamber (4), has one or more pockets (5) which are designed in such a manner that one substrate (7) in each case rests only on selected, raised support regions (6), and with a heating system (9) which is arranged below the substrate holder (3) and is spaced apart from the lower side (3?) of the substrate holder (3), wherein the lower side (3?) of the substrate holder (3) is configured differently in a central region (b) with respect to the heat transmission from the heating system (9) to the substrate holder (3), which central region is located under a central zone of the pocket (5), than in a surrounding region (a) which surrounds the central region (a) and is located below a zone close to the edge of the pocket (5).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cutting rigid, brittle articles such as tile used as a building material is improved by the capability to make both straight and curved cuts in tile on a single machine. The machine has both circular and plunge cutting tools and a table for moving the tile in both curved and straight lines in relation to the cutting tool, thereby achieving both curved and straight cuts.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media system for collecting and distributing session initiation protocol (SIP) event watcher entity subscription information in a communications network are disclosed. According to one aspect, the method includes receiving, at a first notifier server from a watcher entity client, a first subscription request for SIP event information associated with one or more watched entity clients. The method also includes receiving, at a watcher information (WINFO) entity, SIP event subscription information that includes an identifier indicating that the first notifier server serves the watcher entity client, storing the SIP event subscription information in the WINFO entity, detecting the unavailability of the first notifier server. The method further includes sending an instruction message, based on the identifier in the stored SIP event subscription information, to direct the watcher entity to generate a second subscription request associated for the SIP event information.

Abstract: According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a system for performing Diameter overload control. The system occurs at a Diameter routing node. The system includes a network interface for receiving a Diameter message. The system also includes a Diameter overload control unit configured to detect an overload condition for a Diameter session associated with the Diameter message and to communicate an indication of the overload condition to a second Diameter node using a Diameter message defined for a purpose other than overload control.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media system for collecting and distributing session initiation protocol (SIP) event watcher entity subscription information in a communications network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system includes one or more notifier servers for receiving subscription requests for SIP event information associated with a plurality of watched entities from a plurality of watcher entities.

Abstract: A method for depositing a semiconductor layer on a multiplicity of substrates. The process chamber height (H), which is defined by the spacing between a process chamber ceiling (8) and a process chamber floor (9) is variable and influences the growth rate of the layer. The layer thickness is measured continuously or at in short intervals on at least one substrate (5) in each process chamber (2) while the layer is growing. The process chamber height (H) is varied by means of a controller (12) and an adjusting member (6), so that layers having the same layer thickness are deposited in the process chambers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for coating substrates having a process chamber (1) disposed in a reactor housing and a two-part, substantially cup-shaped susceptor (2, 3) disposed therein, forming an upper susceptor part (3) with the cup floor thereof having a flat plate (2) and a lower susceptor part (3) with the cup side walls thereof, the outer side (4) of the plate (2) of the upper susceptor part (2) facing upwards toward the process chamber (1) and forming a contact surface for at least one substrate, the upper susceptor part (2) contacting a front edge (3?) of the lower susceptor part (3) at the edge of said upper susceptor part (2), the lower susceptor part (3) being supported by a susceptor carrier (6), and heating zones (A, B, C) for heating the upper susceptor part (2) being disposed below the plate (2?).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for coating a plurality of substrates (3) which are regularly arranged on a bearing surface (2) of a susceptor (1) associated to a process chamber (14), wherein the bearing surface (2) forms abutment flanks (5) for the edge mounting of each substrate (3). In order to reduce the free susceptor surface to a minimum, it is proposed that the abutment flanks of the lateral walls (5) are formed by bases (4) which project from the bearing surface (2) and are separated at a distance from one another. Said bases are arranged on the corner points (10) of a honeycomb structure and have an outline essentially corresponding to an equilateral triangle with inwardly curved sides (5).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of treating a cancer of the central nervous system in a host including administering radiation to the host; and administering efaproxiral sodium plus supplemental oxygen to the host; wherein the radiation and efaproxiral sodium and supplemental oxygen are administered in amounts effective to cause the arrest or regression of the cancer of the central nervous system in the host.
