Abstract: A multi-cyclone gas/solids separator with reduced solids re-entrainment is disclosed. The separator uses a plurality of cyclones spaced horizontally apart from adjacent cyclones to process flue gas containing residual catalyst fines. Each cyclone has a body that has a feed inlet end for admitting gas and entrained solids into an annular space defined by a sidewall of the cyclone body and a cylindrical gas outlet tube axially aligned with the cyclone body. A solids outlet at an opposing end of the cyclone body has a tangential outlet for solids and a minor amount of gas through a sidewall of the cyclone body. A gas reflux opening is axially aligned with the outlet tube. The plurality of cyclones share both a common catch chamber for solids discharged from the solids outlet, and a common manifold for gas and entrained solids.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a DRAM cell, comprising the following steps. A substrate is provided. An isolation structure is formed within the substrate. The substrate is patterned to form nodes adjacent the isolation structure. Doped regions are formed with the substrate adjacent the nodes. A gate dielectric layer is formed over the patterned substrate, lining the nodes. A conductive layer is formed over the gate dielectric layer, filling the nodes. The conductive layer is patterned to form: a top electrode capacitor within the nodes; and respective word lines over the substrate adjacent the top electrode capacitor; each word line having exposed side walls. Source/drain regions are formed adjacent the word lines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting carcinoma progression wherein matriptase plays a role in a subject in need of such inhibition including administering to a subject an effective amount of a compound comprising two positively charged groups, which are the same or different. The groups are linked by a chemical group having a length of between 5 and 30 A, and preferably between 15 and 24 A. Diagnostic methods based on matriptase action and therapeutic methods involving inhibition of matriptase activity are provided.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a composition comprising abrasive particles comprising an organic resin for chemical mechanical planarization (CMP), which can be widely used in the semiconductor industry. The abrasive composition is an aqueous slurry comprising abrasive particles comprising an organic resin, wherein the slurry is held at a pH in the range of 2-12. An attractive feature of the inventive abrasive composition is that it can be tailored to selectively remove different components from the surface. The inventive abrasive composition also provides efficient polishing rates and good surface quality when used in CMP applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides an in vitro method of diagnosing the presence of a pre-malignant lesion, a malignancy, or other pathologic condition, in a subject, which is characterized by the presence of activated matriptase including the steps of: (A) obtaining a biological sample from a subject that is to be tested for a pre-malignant lesion, a malignancy, or other pathologic condition; B) exposing the biological sample to a detectable agent which recognizes and binds to activated matriptase; and (D) determining whether said detectable agent is bound to the biological sample. Preferably, the detectable agent is an antibody which specifically binds to activated matriptase. More preferably the antibody is selected from M69 and M123.

Abstract: Staged combustion in a single regenerator of a FCC unit is disclosed. The regenerator has a spent catalyst distributor at the top of the catalyst bed, and an air grid at the lower end of the bed. A baffle separates the catalyst bed into upper and lower stages. Excess oxygen is present in the lower bed; partial CO combustion mode is maintained in the upper bed. The baffle inhibits backmixing flux to achieve sufficient staging to burn the catalyst clean under partial CO combustion. This achieves a clean burn of the catalyst in a single regenerator vessel in the partial CO combustion operating mode. Surprisingly, the baffle also reduces catalyst entrainment in the dilute phase, thereby cutting particulate emissions from the regenerator and reducing cyclone wear.
