| 20090095634 | Plating method - A plating method can form a plated film having a uniform thickness over the entire surface, including the peripheral surface, of a substrate. The plating method includes: disposing an anode so as to face a conductive film, formed on a substrate, which serves as a cathode, and disposing an auxiliary cathode on an ring-shaped seal member for sealing a peripheral portion of the substrate; bringing the conductive film, the anode and the auxiliary cathode into contact with a plating solution; and supplying electric currents between the anode and the conductive film, and between the anode and the auxiliary cathode to carry out plating. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090206484 | MICROSTRUCTURE MODIFICATION IN COPPER INTERCONNECT STRUCTURE - Cobalt is added to a copper seed layer, a copper plating layer, or a copper capping layer in order to modify the microstructure of copper lines and vias. The cobalt can be in the form of a copper-cobalt alloy or as a very thin cobalt layer. The grain boundaries configured in bamboo microstructure in the inventive metal interconnect structure shut down copper grain boundary diffusion. The composition of the metal interconnect structure after grain growth contains from about 1 ppm to about 10% of cobalt in atomic concentration. Grain boundaries extend from a top surface of a copper-cobalt alloy line to a bottom surface of the copper-cobalt alloy line, and are separated from any other grain boundary by a distance greater than a width of the copper-cobalt alloy line. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110220012 | CRYSTAL GROWTH APPARATUS WITH LOAD-CENTERED APERTURE, AND DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING HEAT EXTRACTION FROM A CRUCIBLE - A crystal growth apparatus includes a crucible arranged on a support mechanism, and at least two plates formed below the support mechanism and movable in a coordinated manner to form a symmetrical aperture centered with respect to an ingot being formed in the crucible, and a drive mechanism for driving the plates with one degree of freedom. The plates open in a plurality of discrete positions to form an aperture that is load centered with respect to the ingot being formed, in order to promote directional solidification of the ingot being formed, and thus achieve a desired convex profile of the ingot. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20090155043 | Vertical Multi-Phased Wind Turbine System - A vertical axis multi-phased wind turbine power generating system is disclosed. An adjustable air scoop directs air from a first phase of the prevailing wind into an air turbine for efficient power generation. An exit section, which uses a second phase of the prevailing wind in combination with an optional and adjustable exit section drag curtain or barrier, provides for efficient re-entrainment of this first stage of power generating air back into the downstream prevailing wind. The adjustable air scoop and adjustable exit drag curtain or barrier, where utilized, is automatically rotated in a self correcting manner to be suitably and optimally oriented to the prevailing wind direction. The design provides for a second stage of power generation to be accomplished by additionally utilizing a portion of the second phase of prevailing wind to directly or indirectly drive the turbine in a second stage of power production. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100278629 | Vertical Multi-Phased Wind Turbine System - A rotational axis multi-phased wind turbine power generating system is disclosed. A differential pressure is created by utilizing the prevailing wind, and air from the prevailing wind is directed into air blades for the creation of power. Optimally, the air blades directly utilize the prevailing wind in combination with the created differential pressure to create power. An adjustable air scoop, adjustable exit drag curtain or barrier, orienting systems, and air flow directing dampers are disclosed. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20080304018 | PROJECTION SYSTEM - A projection system includes a projection screen defining a shape and a projector configured to project an image onto the projection screen. The projector may project a static or dynamic image that has substantially the same shape as the projection screen or otherwise block portions of the projected image that are projected outside of the projection screen with the aid of a virtual mask. The virtual mask and the projection screen may be created based on a virtual shape template that defines the desired shape for the projection screen, such as with a vector outline. In some embodiments, the virtual mask and the projection screen are created based on the same virtual shape template. The virtual shape template may define a cutting path for extracting the projection screen from a suitable material. | 12-11-2008 |
