| 20100319535 | HIGH-TEMPERATURE, STEAM-SELECTIVE MEMBRANE - A high-temperature, steam-selective membrane for adding steam to or removing steam from various types of chemical reactions is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a membrane includes a polymer layer (a Nafion or sulfonated PEEK polymer layer, for example) exhibiting high selectivity to the transport of steam relative to other gas species. The polymer layer is sandwiched between substantially rigid porous layers that are steam permeable. The rigid porous layers substantially immobilize the polymer layer and reduce the tendency of the polymer layer to shrink and/or expand in response to changes in temperature or humidity. The rigid porous layers may also retain water to keep the polymer layer moist. The physical support and moisture retention provided by the rigid porous layers enable the polymer layer to operate in a temperature range of about 100° C. to 500° C. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090233444 | POLISHING METHOD WITH INERT GAS INJECTION - A polishing process in a semiconductor device fabrication process employs a polishing composition in which a gaseous phase is created within the polishing composition. During a polishing process, the gaseous phase dynamically responds to changes in the surface profile of the material undergoing removal by chemical and abrasive action during polishing. The inert gas bubble density dynamically increases in proximity to surface region of the substrate being polished that are prone to dishing and erosion. The increased inert gas bubble density operates to reduce the polish removal rate relative to other regions of the substrate. The dynamic action of the gaseous phase within the polishing composition functions to selectively reduce the localized polish removal rate such that a uniformly smooth and flat polished surface is obtained that is independent of the influence of pattern density during the polishing process. | 09-17-2009 |

| 20100067971 | WRITING INSTRUMENT HAVING A SLIDABLE CAP - A writing instrument comprises a substantially tubular body extending between a top and a writing end, and an elongate slot disposed in an outer surface of the body and having a detents defined at each end of the slot, and a tubular open-ended cap disposed coaxially around the body and having a cut defining an elongate arm connected to the cap at one end and having an inwardly-oriented protrusion at another end and sized to engage the detents of the slot. The cap is slidable along the body such that the inwardly-oriented protrusion slides along the slot until it engages a detent at an end of the slot thereby arresting the cap either in a closed position, in which the cap covers the writing end, or in an open position in which the writing end is exposed. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090261999 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TESTING OF DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER - A current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is tested using a test component having a relaxation oscillator with an oscillation frequency based on the output current of the DAC. A series of test values is provided in sequence to the DAC for conversion to an output current with a magnitude that varies with the test values. The test component counts the number of oscillations (“the oscillation count”) of the relaxation oscillator over a fixed duration that is substantially equal for each test value. As the number of oscillations over the fixed duration depends on the oscillation frequency of the relaxation oscillator, which in turn is based on the magnitude of the output current, the oscillation count can be used as a relative measure of the magnitude of the output current for the corresponding test value. Accordingly, the oscillation counts for the test values can be used to determine operational characteristics of the DAC. | 10-22-2009 |
