Abstract:
This invention discloses a system for creating voice XML file automatically, comprising: a graphic user interface for defining a plurality of icons, wherein each of said icons corresponds to one or more attributes of voice XML; voice XML tag generator for interpreting said action stream based on a library of voice XML tags, generating the corresponding voice XML tags; and, voice XML file generator for combing the contents to be played with thte tags generated by the voice XML tag generator according voice XML syntax, for creating the voice XML file. This system can create the voice XML file for the TTS voice XML file or the real-time-recorded voice XML file.

Abstract:
The apparatus employs a technique for protectively coating (14, 16) the electrodes (13, 15) in a plasma chamber (17, 18) so as to minimize the effect of backscattering of electrode material. … The potentials present in a plasma chamber when etching polymer films are such that electrode sputtering may occur. If the material of the electrode (13) where the sample is mounted (RIE mode) or the material of the counterelectrode (15) (plasma etch mode) of the chamber is not etchable in the etchant present, electrode material can be sputtered off, backscattered on the polymer surface, and cause partial masking and thus incomplete etching. … Coating the electrodes with the same polymer, or with a photoresist or different polymer of corresponding etch rate, precludes such incomplete etching; the etched hole is very clean, without spikes. The coating on the electrodes may be very thick so as not to require frequent recoating.
Abstract:
An intelligent surrogate apparatus for enhancing the display output and interaction capability of a portable device comprises a communication interface for connecting the portable device and an display controller. The apparatus comprises a connection manager for establishing connection and managing data flows; a graphics data receiver for receiving structured graphics data output from an application running on the portable device via the communication interface and converting them to a corresponding graphic function invocation; and a windows manager which may invoke a graphic function library to organize application windows according to the graphic function invocation. The apparatus can organize windows on the external display and/or interact with the application program in response to an external keyboard/mouse event so that the portable device is endued with additional capabilities of interactive operations.
Abstract:
During wafer fabrication, a transportable enclosure, such as a Standard Manufacturing InterFace (SMIF) pod encloses a nascent product, such as a semiconductor wafer, to protect the wafer against contamination during manufacture, storage or transportation. However chemical vapors emitted inside the pod can accumulate in the air and degrade wafers during subsequent fabrication. In order to absorb the vapors inside a closed pod, a vapor removal element typically including an activated carbon absorber, covered by a particulate-filtering vapor-permeable barrier, and covered by a guard plate with holes is disposed within the enclosure. A vapor removal element is disposed closely adjacent to each respective wafer. Alternatively, a single vapor removal element is located inside the enclosure. In certain instances, a fan or thermo-buoyant circulation causes any vapors located inside the enclosure to a vapor removal element for removal. Alternatively a porous vapor removal element may be disposed for removing vapors from air entering the enclosure. In another embodiment a vapor removal element is integrated with the back face of each wafer.
