摘要:
Methods, compositions, and devices for alleviating the problems of toxic discharge of aldehydes present in waste streams are disclosed. The methods relate to reducing neutralized aldehydes wherein the neutalized aldehydes are formed by treating aldehydes with amino acids and thereinafter are reduced. These reduced, neutralized aldehydes do not revert back to toxic aldehydes, but form amino acids and thus allow waste containing aldehyde to be more environmentally safely disposed.

Methods and a system of using amino acids are disclosed as being useful in neutralizing aldehydes in waste. These neutralizers allow waste containing aldehyde to be more safely and cheaply disposed.

Disclosed herein are germicidal compositions, kits, methods for preparing the germicidal compositions, and methods of using the compositions for disinfection or sterilization. In one aspect, a solid composition may include a solid having water solubility greater than phthalaldehyde, and a germicide diluted in the solid. In another aspect, a kit for preparing a germicide solution may include a germicide, an enhancer for the germicide, and at least two compartments to contain the germicide and the enhancer. In yet another aspect, an apparatus may be used to prepare a germicidal solution. The apparatus may include a first port to receive a first composition including a germicidally effective compound, a second port to receive a second composition including an enhancer for the germicidally effective compound, a source of water, and germicidal solution preparation logic to control preparation of the germicidal solution from the first and the second compositions and the water.
摘要:
A lithography apparatus including both a laser beam source and an electron beam column, where the electron beam column has a support(in one embodiment a window in the column housing) having an index of refraction n. The support, having a photocathode source material disposed on its remote surface, is located in some embodiments such that the internal angle of the incident laser beam is &thgr; with respect to a line perpendicular to the remote surface. The numerical aperture of the substrate(equal to nsin &thgr;) is greater than one in one embodiment, resulting in a high resolution spot size diameter incident on the photocathode source material at the remote surface. Incident energy from the laser beam thereby emits a corresponding high resolution electron beam from the photocathode source material. Electromagnetic lens components are disposed downstream in the electron beam column to demagnify the electron beam. This apparatus allows the continuously decreasing minimum feature dimension sizes for semiconductor electron beam lithography.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for defining a single structure on a semiconductor wafer by spatial frequency components whereby some of the spatial frequency components are derived by optical lithography and some by interferometric lithographic techniques. Interferometric lithography images the high frequency components while optical lithography images the low frequency components. Optics collects many spatial frequencies and the interferometry shifts the spatial frequencies to high spatial frequencies. Thus, because the mask does not need to provide high spatial frequencies, the masks are configured to create only low frequency components, thereby allowing fabrication of simpler masks having larger structures. These methods and apparatus facilitate writing more complex repetitive as well as non-repetitive patterns in a single exposure with a resolution which is higher than that currently available using known optical lithography alone.

High-level disinfectant formulations and sporicidal formulations suitable for use as chemical disinfection and sterilization mediums comprising a dialdehyde, a carboxylate salt in amount of from about 3 weight percent to about 20 weight percent, and the balance water. The formulations are useful for disinfecting and sterilizing medical instruments and medical equipment.
摘要:
An electron beam lithography system includes a laser for generating a laser beam, and a beam splitter for splitting the laser beam into a plurality of light beams. The intensity of the light beams is individually modulated. The light beams are of sufficient energy such that, when they impinge on a photocathode, electrons are emitted. Modulation of the light beams controls modulation of the resulting electron beams. The electron beams are provided to an electron column for focusing and scanning control. Finally, the electron beams are used to write a scanning surface, for example, using an interlaced writing strategy.
摘要:
A system to deliver gas/vapor from solid materials. Specifically, the delivery system for the use of gas or vapor released from a solid material, such as a non-aqueous/solid hydrogen peroxide complex. The system is comprised of a delivery system that is configured to receive a plurality of disks containing the solid material and provide these disks into an injector. The injector heats the disks to produce a gas or vapor that is then provided into a chamber. The sterilization process can be done by gas or vapor alone, or in combination with plasma or ultra violet radiation. In particular, a control system automatically induces the delivery system to provide the injector with a disk and then remove the disk once the injection sequence is complete.
