| 20090134520 | PROCESS INTEGRATION SCHEME TO LOWER OVERALL DIELECTRIC CONSTANT IN BEOL INTERCONNECT STRUCTURES - Back-End of Line (BEoL) interconnect structures, and methods for their manufacture, are provided. The structures are characterized by narrower conductive lines and reduced overall dielectric constant values. Conformal diffusion barrier layers, and selectively formed capping layers, are used to isolate the conductive lines and vias from surrounding dielectric layers in the interconnect structures. The methods of the invention employ techniques to narrow the openings in photoresist masks in order to define narrower vias. More narrow vias increase the amount of misalignment that can be tolerated between the vias and the conductive lines. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20120088370 | Substrate Processing System with Multiple Processing Devices Deployed in Shared Ambient Environment and Associated Methods - A plurality of substrate processing devices are disposed in a separated manner within a shared ambient environment. A conveyance device is disposed within the shared ambient environment and is defined to move a substrate through and between each of the substrate processing devices in a continuous manner. Some substrate processing devices are defined to perform dry substrate processing operations in which an energized reactive environment is created in exposure to the substrate in an absence of liquid material. Some substrate processing devices are defined to perform wet substrate processing operations in which at least one material in a liquid state is applied to the substrate. In one embodiment, a complementary pair of dry and wet substrate processing devices are disposed in the shared ambient environment in a sequential manner relative to movement of the substrate by the conveyance device. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20090047407 | METHOD AND INGREDIENT FOR INCREASING SOLUBLE FIBER CONTENT TO ENHANCE BILE ACID BINDING, INCREASE VISCOSITY, AND INCREASE HYPOCHOLESTEROLEMIC PROPERTIES - The present invention relates to a method for modifying materials that have low soluble fiber content and high insoluble fiber content so as to enhance bile acid binding capacity by increasing the level of available soluble fiber that can be obtained from such starting materials in order to create ingredients that are useable in food intermediates that are suitable for lowering unhealthy cholesterol levels. More particularly, the present invention relates to controlling the moisture content, mechanical pretreatment and alkali treatment of such starting materials as wheat bran or shorts. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20090311730 | Measuring thrombin activity in whole blood - The invention relates to a method for in vitro determining thrombin activity in a sample wherein the sample is a blood sample and thrombin generation is measured by the steps of: —contacting a layer of said sample with a fluorogenic substrate of thrombin, wherein said layer has a thickness within a range of 0.05 to 5 mm and a surface within a range of 10 to 500 mm2; —allowing thrombin to generate in said sample; —measuring the fluorescence emitted from the surface of the layer, by the fluorescent group released from the fluorogenic substrate as a result of enzymatic action of generated thrombin on said fluorogenic substrate. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110045512 | TIME-COURSE MEASUREMENT OF ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY CORRECTED FOR IMPACTS OF DISTURBANCES RELATING TO THE REACTION OF THE ENZYME WITH A SUBSTRATE - A method of determining the course of enzyme activity that is variable in time, wherein the activity is probed by conversion of a substrate of the enzyme, includes, in a selected test set up and for a determined substrate of the enzyme, determining the velocity of signal production (dF | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110195441 | METHOD AND ASSEMBLY FOR MEASURING THROMBIN GENERATION IN PLASMA - Disclosed is a method for measuring thrombin generation in a whole blood sample. The whole blood sample may be applied forthwith, without prior processing. The blood cells and blood plasma in the whole blood sample are separated by (lateral) flow migration. Also disclosed is an assembly of a sample support and a device dedicated to measure thrombin generation in a whole blood sample. Advantageously, the sample support comprises a separator medium allowing separation of whole blood into blood cells and blood plasma by means of (lateral) flow migration. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20100078331 | ELECTROLYTIC DEVICE FOR GENERATION OF pH-CONTROLLED HYPOHALOUS ACID AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS FOR DISINFECTANT APPLICATIONS - An electrolytic device for the generation of hypohalous acid in aqueous solutions includes at least a single liquid chamber for receiving an aqueous solution containing halide ions therein, the single liquid chamber having an exterior wall and a solid anode contained within to provide for the oxidation of the halide ions, which, in turn, provides for the formation of hypohalous acid in aqueous solution, and a gas permeable cathode forming a portion of the exterior wall of the single liquid chamber, the cathode providing for the reduction of oxygen to provide hydroxyl ions in solution within the single liquid chamber to mix with the products generated at the anode. An embodiment of the electrolytic device including an anolyte chamber and a catholyte chamber separated by an ionomeric membrane is also described, whereby the anolyte chamber further includes an outlet including a pH control for determining and regulating the pH of the exiting anolyte effluent to between about 4 and 9. The product is suitable for disinfectant applications including as a hand sanitizer. | 04-01-2010 |
