Filed:

Oct 17, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/954346

Inventors:

Lin Zhou - Towaco NJ

Assignee:

Micron, Technology - Boise ID

International Classification:

A61N 506

US Classification:

607111

Abstract:

Fiber, fabric, clothes, and shoes having a material incorporated therein which, when stimulated by energy, emits a predetermined spectrum having a first electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength range selected from the group consisting of about 0. 2. mu. m to about 50. mu. m, and about 0. 4. mu. m to about 25. mu. m, and a second radiation having a wavelength range selected from the group consisting of about 7500. mu. m to about 100,000. mu. m, and about 5400. mu. m to about 500,000. mu. m, similar to radiation generated by the human body over similar ranges. A reflecting layer is adjacent to a fabric having the material incorporated therein such that body heat is conserved so as to achieve a therapeutic result. The energy stimulating the material can be body heat, electrical heat, magnetic energy, or other energy forms.

Appl. No.:

8/395042

Inventors:

Lin Zhou - Fairfield NJ

International Classification:

A61N 506

US Classification:

607 1

Abstract:

A method and apparatus utilizing the action of simulated bio-frequency spectrum signals generated upon human beings, animals, plants, and micro-organisms to regulate and improve the status of growth and survival of said organisms. The simulated bio-frequency spectrum signals are generated through the excitation of one or a plurality of chemical elements and their compounds contained in the simulated bio-frequency spectrum signal generator by certain form of energy. Said simulated bio-frequency spectrum signals are broad band signals with wavelengths ranging from micrometers to centimeters. Said signals act upon certain sites of the organisms, elicit transition of the atoms, molecules, and electrons in the body of the organism, and cause resonances, thereby the aim of regulating and improving the status of growth of the organism is achieved.

Appl. No.:

8/921405

Inventors:

Lin Zhou - Towaco NJ

International Classification:

A61N 506

US Classification:

607 90

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a radiation generating apparatus for physical therapy and a process for its manufacture. The apparatus generates a characteristic radiation spectrum to treat and effectively treat or cure diseases of the blood circulating system, skin diseases, surgical wounds, arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, functional disorders of the stomach and/or intestines, gynecological and obstetric disorders such as dysmenorrhoea, hypertension, stress and for promoting the healing of wounds. The apparatus employs a radiation generator comprising a substrate, a transducing layer and a radiation generating layer. A dual purpose radiation treatment and lighting lamp is also described.

Appl. No.:

8/557303

Inventors:

Lin Zhou - Fairfield NJ

International Classification:

A61N 506

US Classification:

607 1

Abstract:

This apparatus can generate simulated bio-frequency spectrum signals from 0. 2. mu. m-10 mm. The signals are produced by a simulated bio-spectrum generating component when monomer or compounds of one or more chemical elements in the apparatus are excited by a certain form of energy source (such as thermal energy or magnetic energy ). The simulated bio-spectrum signals are broad signals from. mu. m to mm. Through direct exposure to the affected parts of the body, the transiting of energy levels of the molecules, atoms and electrons, is a cause of the regulating and improving of the status of development and survival of living organisms.

International Classification:

B01D 53/70
B01D 53/18
B01D 53/78

Abstract:

Process and apparatus () are disclosed for capturing and converting an ozone-depleting alkyl halide fumigant from a fumigant/air mixed stream () by absorbing it into a metal hydroxide-alcohol buffer solution () in an absorber/scrubber () to produce a fumigant-free air stream (). The captured alkyl halide in aqueous alcohol solution can actively react with the metal hydroxide in alcohol solution to produce a value-added product, such as a precipitate metal halide, and another alcohol that further enhances absorption. The absorbing solution is well-mixed with make-up alcohol and alkali streams to maintain the concentration of the metal hydroxide in the desired buffer solution range. The solid precipitate metal halide () is separated from the liquid stream, and the metal hydroxide-containing mixed alcohol stream () is recycled to the absorber/scrubber ().

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for reducing transfer pattern defects in a semiconductor device. In some embodiments, a method includes providing a semiconductor device including a plurality of photoresist lines on a stack of layers, wherein the plurality of photoresist lines includes a bridge defect extending between two or more photoresist lines of the plurality of photoresist lines. The method may further include forming a plurality of mask lines by etching a set of trenches in a first layer of the stack of layers, and removing the bridge defect by etching the bridge defect at a non-zero angle of inclination with respect to a perpendicular to a plane of an upper surface of the stack of layers.
