Abstract: In the field of release and pickup of ultrathin semiconductor dies, there is provided an active carrier (1) for carrying a wafer (20) and a method for using such a carrier (1). The wafer (20) comprises a particular die arrangement (P). The active carrier (1) comprises a base plate (2) and a number of energizers (7) constructed on or in this base plate (2). The energizers (7) are laid out in an arrangement corresponding to the die arrangement (P). The energizers (7) can locally energize an adhesive layer (3) in proximity to a selected die (14) from the die arrangement (P). By this local energizing of the adhesive layer (P), the selected die is loosened from the adhesive layer (3). Furthermore the active carrier (1) comprises a plurality of externally addressable contacts (12) and conduction pathways (9). The conduction pathways (9) connect the contacts (12) to the energizers (7) thereby allowing individual control over said energizers (7) by addressing said contacts (12).

Abstract: A collector assembly with a radiation collector, a cover plate and a support member connecting the radiation collector to the cover plate are provided. The cover plate is designed to cover an opening in a collector chamber. The collector chamber opening may be large enough to pass the radiation collector and the support member. The removed radiation collector can be cleaned with different cleaning procedures, which may be performed in a cleaning device. Such cleaning device may for example consist of the following: a circumferential hull designed to provide an enclosure volume for circumferentially enclosing at least the radiation collector; an inlet configured to provide at least one of a cleaning gas and a cleaning liquid to the enclosure volume to clean at least said radiation collector; and an outlet configured to remove said at least one of said cleaning gas and said cleaning liquid from the enclosure volume.

Abstract: Process to separate a group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex from an organic liquid mixture, wherein the following steps are performed (1) contacting the organic liquid with a support having bonded thereto an organophosphine ligand and separating the organic mixture which is poor in group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex, (2) contacting the thus obtained loaded support with an organic solvent and carbon monoxide and separating the thus obtained organic solvent rich in group 8-10 metal/phosphite ligand complex, and (3) reusing the support obtained in step (2) in step (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced bioactive ceramic implant, wherein a base form is made from fibrous material and interspaces between the different fibers are filled using chemical vapor phase infiltration. The fibrous material is coated with a composition which optimizes the bonding with the infiltrant. Preferably, a calcium-phosphate compound is brought between the fibers, which are preferably of the continuous-fiber type.
