Abstract: Interactive media such as a DVD can be created in more than one location. The editing of the content into chapters and the creation of menus that can access the content can be created at one location, and information regarding the menus and the chapters can then be transmitted to a second location and the DVD or other media can be recorded at the first or second location. A software driven system controls, accelerates and simplifies the process.

Abstract: A system and method for creating interactive media such as DVDs. Raw content is edited into chapters, together with menus that allow quick access to the chapters. A finished multimedia title in various formats may be created. The finished title is pre-mastered and may be duplicated locally or may be sent out for mass production.

Abstract: A cleaning tool for cleaning substrates, comprising a circulation conduit through which is circulated a cleaning liquid or gas. The circulation conduit is disposed in fluid communication with an upstream flow chamber and a downstream cleaning chamber, the cross-sectional area of which cleaning chamber is less than the cross-sectional area of the flow chamber. In use, the cleaning chamber receives a wafer substrate for cleaning of particles or removal of polymer films from the substrate. The smaller cross-sectional area of the cleaning chamber accelerates the flow of a cleaning fluid flowing through the cleaning chamber from the flow chamber. The rapidly-flowing cleaning fluid removes the particles and/or films from the substrate while preventing dropping of the removed particles or re-deposition of the film back onto the substrate. A particle filter may be provided in the circulation conduit downstream of the cleaning chamber for removing the particles.
