Abstract: A bottom boom and method of use is disclosed for containing heavy or sinking oils which migrate on an underwater floor. The bottom boom is comprised of an upper wall, a lower wall that abuts an underwater floor, a support structure and a ballast section. The upper wall and lower wall when properly supported by support structure provides an upright barrier to guide or stop heavy non-floating oils on an underwater floor. The support structure is a series of chambers, longitudinally spaced between the upper and lower walls of the bottom boom, such that when each chamber is filled with water the chambers vertically support the upper wall at an angle above the lower wall and horizontally maintain the lower walls width thus forming said upright barrier. Additionally the chambers can be filled with air to expedite recovery of bottom boom from underwater floor.

Abstract: A Nonfloating Oil Fence Boom is disclosed for containing heavy or sinking oils which migrate on an underwater floor. The Non-Floating Oil (NFO) Fence Boom is comprised of a vertical section, a horizontal section that abuts an underwater floor, a buoyant section and a ballast section. The ballast causes the horizontal section to sink and form a seal with the underwater floor, the buoyant section in engineered to provide only enough buoyant force to maintain the vertical section in an upright perpendicular position while not breaking the horizontal sections seal with the underwater floor thus preventing heavy oils from passing below or beyond the fence.

Abstract: Application launching on a computer via indexed data. Based on a search term entered by a user, the computer searches an index containing metadata representative of one or more applications installed on the computer. A user interface on the computer's display has a window for displaying the results of searching the index. In addition, the user interface receives user input to select an application from the search results to be initiated. The computer is responsive to the user input via the user interface for initiating the selected application installed on the computer. A computer-readable medium including a persistent component, an index component, a query component, and an execution component embodies further aspects of the invention.

Abstract: It has been found that in sol-gel processes utilizing TMAH, it is possible to treat a trimethylamine (TRIMA)-containing solution with hydrogen peroxide to form trimethylamine oxide--(CH.sub.3).sub.3 N.sup.+ --O.sup.- (TRIMAO), a water soluble compound which is less volatile and less odorous than TRIMA, and which is capable of being sent to a standard wastewater treatment plant. The hydrogen peroxide is generally added to the TRIMA-containing solution in a H.sub.2 O.sub.2 :TRIMA ratio of at least 3:1, advantageously at least 10:1. Because of the resultant TRIMAO solution's ability to be sent to a standard wastewater treatment facility, improved productivity and lowered expense of the overall fiber fabrication process are obtained. The invention is also suitable for treatment of triethylamine.

Abstract: A process for enhancing the performance of resist polymers in lithographic processes for device fabrication is disclosed. The resist polymers contain acid labile functional groups. When these functional groups are removed and replaced by hydrogen, the polymer becomes more soluble in the aqueous base developer solutions used in lithographic processes. A portion of the acid-labile functional groups are cleaved from the polymer to obtain a resist polymer with increased sensitivity, improved adhesion, and reduced film shrinkage during post-exposure bake. The acid labile functional groups are cleaved by dissolving the polymer in a suitable solvent and subjecting the mixture to increased temperature until the desired number of acid labile functional groups are cleaved from the polymer. The polymer is then recovered from the mixture and employed as a resist in a lithographic process for device fabrication.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for device or mask fabrication. In the process, an energy sensitive resist material that is the combination of a matrix polymer and a modifier polymer is formed onto a substrate. The modifier polymer and matrix polymer are phase compatible. In this regard the modifier polymer has a weight average molecular weight of about 5,000 to about 500,000 g/mol, and at least some of the polymer chains are terminated by a halogen moiety. The resist material is patternwise exposed to radiation, thereby introducing a latent image of the pattern into the resist material. The energy depolymerizes the modifier polymer. The modifier polymer is substantially less soluble in a developer solution used to develop the pattern introduced into the resist than is the matrix polymer. Therefore, if the resist material is positive acting, the resist material that is exposed to radiation is substantially more soluble in developer solution than the unexposed resist material.
