    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to a digital micromirror device. More particularly, an embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a digital micromirror device having a perfectly flat mirror surface, wherein a hole of a mirror surface from which light is reflected is obviated by forming a mirror support post portion using an electro-plating process, unlike the related art digital micromirror device in which the hole is formed at the center of the mirror surface, thereby degrading the reflection efficiency of light.

  • Publication number: 20070199825
    Abstract: Disclosed methods reduce the discontinuities that between individual layers of a structure that is formed at least in part using electrochemical fabrication techniques. Discontinuities may exist between layers of a structure as a result of up-facing or down-facing regions defined in data descriptive of the structure or they may exist as a result of building limitations, e.g., those that result in non-parallel orientation between a building axis and sidewall surfaces of layers. Methods for reducing discontinuities may be applied to all regions or only to selected regions of the structure. Methods may be tailored to improve the accuracy between an original design of the structure and the structure as fabricated or they may simply be used to smooth the discontinuities between layers. Methods may include deposition operations that selectively favor filling of the discontinuities and/or etching operations that selectively favor removal of material from protrusions that define discontinuities.

    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to produce a carbon electrode having a texture with decreased pores and having relatively high mechanical strength by only being subjected to a process where a specified metal fluoride is mixed with a carbon material, then the mixture is baked, and to provide a carbon electrode for producing gaseous nitrogen trifluoride having a long life without the polarization of the carbon electrode even in any case of an NH4F—KF—HF series and an NH4F—HF series. The carbon electrode for producing gaseous nitrogen trifluoride of the present invention has a dense texture with an average pore size of 0.5 ?m or less. It is preferable that the carbon electrode contains a carbonaceous material, and at least one of more kinds selected from magnesium fluoride and aluminum fluoride which have a melting point not lower than the baking temperature of the carbonaceous material.

  • Publication number: 20070199830
    Abstract: A system and method for continuously separating different isotopes of a particular element, such as Uranium, Zirconium, or Hydrogen, in an electrolytic medium. The ions of the isotopes to be separated are moved in the electrolytic medium using electric field. As the lighter ions will move faster than the heavier ions, the separation will happen and the lighter ions will be ahead of the heavier ions by a separation distance. To improve the separation, other forces (either proportional to the mass or not) are generated on the ions in directions that add additional separation factors. These forces could be centrifugal, electromagnetic, resistive dragging, mechanical (flow), etc. The invented separation process and device is simple and less expensive than other comparable devices, providing outstanding separation at low cost, and could be built using the already available materials and technologies that exist in any country in the world.

  • Publication number: 20070199858
    Abstract: The present invention is a novel child-resistant senior-friendly blister card packaging that is cheap and easy to manufacture. The packaging requires a push-peel-push method for opening, which is cognitively and physically challenging for children and mentally impaired adults. Yet, competent adults can easily open the package, especially after reading instructions. More specifically, opening the package requires the user to: 1) Push through a aperture to create a pull tab; 2) Pull on the pull tab to remove a panel; and 3) Push the blister to force the contents through the blister's seal. Advantageously, the present invention is designed such that information such as instructions and product information can be easily printed directly on the packaging. Moreover, users may also record information directly on the packaging. Thus, the present invention not only provides child-resistant and senior-friendly features, but also provides convenience for viewing and recording information.

The transfer mechanism 21 includes plural substrate support devices 21 spaced at intervals, and each of the substrate support devices 21 has a gripping mechanism 28 for gripping a process object W on the under side of the respective one of the substrate support devices 20. The gripping mechanism 28 includes a fixed engagement member 30 fixedly provided on a distal end of the substrate support device 20 to be engaged with a front edge of a process object W, and a movable engagement member 31 movably attached to a proximal end of the substrate support device 20 to be engaged with a rear edge of the process object W. Plural process objects W can be rapidly, securely transferred at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20070199864
    Abstract: A storage structure is configured that can be assembled more easily. The storage structure is provided with a lid capable of being opened and closed. The lid is configured to swing about a swing axis from an opened state to a closed state. The lid has a center of gravity located on a far portion of the lid relative to the swing axis such that swinging movement of the lid to the opened state occurs due to a weight distribution of the lid itself relative to the swing axis. Thus, the lid swings from the closed state to the opened state with the center of gravity of the lid having being vertically disposed below the swing axis when the lid is in the closed state.

  • Publication number: 20070199865
    Abstract: A method is described for refrigerant supply of a low-temperature separation stage in a plant for producing olefins from hydrocarbon-containing feed (olefin plant). During the separation sequence beginning with a front end deethanizer (3) downstream of raw gas compressor (1), precooler and dryer (2), first separation is performed into an olefin fraction having at most two carbon atoms and an olefin fraction having at least three carbon atoms. The fraction having at least three carbon atoms is conducted to the further separation sequence for longer-chain olefins (4). The fraction having at most two carbon atoms is conducted via a catalytic hydrogenation stage (5) connected in between to the low-temperature separation stage (6) which comprises three condensation stages in the temperature range from ?50° C. to ?100° C.
