20090130098Specific therapy using integrin ligands for treating cancer - The invention relates to a combination therapy for the treatment of tumors and tumor metastases comprising administration of integrin ligands, preferably integrin antagonists, together with co-therapeutic agents or therapy forms that have synergistic efficacy when administered consecutively with said ligands, such as chemotherapeutic agents and or radiation therapy. The therapy results in a synergistic potential increase of the inhibition effect of each individual therapeutic on tumor cell proliferation, yielding more effective treatment than found by administering an individual component alone, concurrently or not in the dosage regime of the present invention.05-21-2009

20090140396STRESSED INTERLAYER DIELECTRIC WITH REDUCED PROBABILITY FOR VOID GENERATION IN A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE BY USING AN INTERMEDIATE ETCH CONTROL LAYER OF INCREASED THICKNESS - By forming an etch control material with increased thickness on a first stressed dielectric layer in a dual stress liner approach, the surface topography may be smoothed prior to the deposition of the second stressed dielectric material, thereby allowing the deposition of an increased amount of stressed material while not contributing to yield loss caused by deposition-related defects.06-04-2009
20090273035METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY REMOVING A SPACER IN A DUAL STRESS LINER APPROACH - By integrating a spacer removal process into the sequence for patterning a first stress-inducing material during a dual stress liner approach, the sidewall spacer structure for one type of transistor may be maintained, without requiring additional lithography steps.11-05-2009
20110266685Semiconductor Device Comprising Sophisticated Conductive Elements in a Dielectric Material System Formed by Using a Barrier Layer - An efficient patterning strategy may be applied when etching through a dielectric material system on the basis of two different etch chemistries. To this end, a conductive etch stop or barrier material may be formed in the opening prior to etching through the further dielectric layer of the material system, thereby substantially preserving the initial critical dimensions and avoiding etch damage. Thus, superior contact openings, via openings and the like may be formed on the basis of well-established etch chemistries.11-03-2011

20090205448METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHECKING GRIPPING ELEMENTS - A method and apparatus for checking gripping elements for containers may include a plurality of gripping elements for gripping a plurality of containers. Occupancy states of these gripping elements with containers are regularly detected and statistics regarding these occupancy states are formed. Based on these statistics, in particular a failure of individual gripping elements can be ascertained and can be output to the user in a targeted manner.08-20-2009

20100003162Method for the Production of Forged Steel for Weapons Subject to Heavy Stresses, Barrel Blanks and Thus-Equipped Weapon - It is proposed to make a change to the barrel material and also its constituent proportions and to undertake a production method which is already known from the large caliber barrel but which is specially adapted for medium caliber barrels. A barrel is created which is now made from a NiCrMoV steel blank which as an ingot was remelted in the ESR (electro-slag remelting) process before forging and the forged bars were quenched and tempered in a liquid quenching and tempering process. A barrel for a machine gun is thus disclosed which has the quality/characteristics of a large caliber barrel.01-07-2010
