  • Etching method
    Patent number: 11295960
    Abstract: A method of etching a silicon oxide film with high precision at high selectivity as compared with a silicon nitride film while establishing both of a higher etching rate of the silicon oxide film and a lower etching rate of the silicon nitride film is provided. An etching method according to the present invention is directed to a dry etching method for etching a film structure without using plasma in which an end of a film layer having a silicon oxide film vertically sandwiched between silicon nitride films and laminated and formed in advance on a wafer disposed in a processing chamber forms a side wall of a groove or a hole while a processing gas is supplied into the processing chamber, the method including the steps of: supplying a hydrogen fluoride gas; cooling the wafer to a low temperature of ?30° C. or lower, preferably, to ?30 to ?60° C.; and etching the silicon oxide film laterally from the end.

  • Modular monitoring smart bed
    Patent number: 10945679
    Abstract: A patient monitoring system includes sensors, a patient support assembly, and a gateway device and/or control module. Example sensors include physiological sensors and patient status devices. The sensors acquire patient-related data. Patient related action is determined based on the patient-related data.

  • MICROCLIMATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH WIRELESS SENSORS
    Publication number: 20180000633
    Abstract: A method for monitoring an environment for a patient on a patient support device can include: receiving a temperature reading from a wireless sensor coupled to a body of the patient; comparing the temperature reading to air flowing through an airflow system associated with the patient support device; and modifying the air flowing through the airflow system.
