  • Publication number: 20050224472
    Abstract: A method of decreasing the penetration depth of radiation provided to an interface, such as a surface, or a predetermined volume in a means, where the means has a scattering coefficient larger than one tenth of an absorption coefficient thereof so that the radiation not absorbed at the interface or in the volume but transmitted further into the means is at least partly reflected toward the interface/volume. The radiation intensity is higher in the volume and the absorption coefficient may be reduced while retaining the total absorption in the volume. This may be used for all known techniques where radiation is desired absorbed, such as in welding, surface preparation, polymer chemistry, the activation of photo activatable substances etc.

  • Publication number: 20050215054
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for generating a feed-through in a semiconductor wafer, which has electric circuitry embedded in a front surface whereby the hole for the feed-through is generated by the combined use of a front side protection layer and a wet KOH etch process etching the hole from the back side of the wafer, where a photomasking process is subsequently used do define the via followed by deposition of the via material.

  • Publication number: 20050041825
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hearing aid with at least one primary sound to electric converting transducer converting sounds in the environment into electrical signals and a signal processing unit for amplifying the electrical signal according to the needs of the user and an electrical to sound transducer for receiving the amplified electrical signal and delivering a sound signal to the ear wherein at least one further sound to electrical transducer is provided. The said further transducer has a sensitivity to wind noise which is smaller than the sensitivity to wind noise of the primary transducer and further the signal processing unit has means for detecting the level of wind noise in the signal from the primary sound to electric converting transducer. According to the invention also selecting means are provided for selecting the signal to be amplified from either the primary—or the at least one further sound to electrical transducer.
