A low cost valve and system for automated ebb and flow irrigation utilizes a collapsible sleeve to control fluid flow direction. No external power, moving parts, or floats are needed to operate the valve, resulting in improved reliability, low operating cost, and minimal need for maintenance. The valve operates using feed pressure to close the drain when hydroponic nutrient solution is pumped into the cultivation chamber. The valve drains automatically once the pump is stopped, usually by means of a timer, and the spent hydroponic solution is recovered. The fill / drain cycle is repeated as needed to keep the plants moist, yet not waterlogged.

A method cycle of a method for layerwise production of a tangible object (5) comprises the successive steps of: solidifying predetermined parts of a liquid so as to obtain a solid layer (14) having a predetermined shape; separating said solid layer from a construction shape (6); and moving, relative to one another, the separated solid layer and the construction shape to a predetermined position relative to one another. Solidifying is carried out such that the solid layer and the construction shape have nonmatching shapes in the sense that all surface portions of a solid layer side (70) that are or have been in contact with a liquid contacting side (11) of the construction shape can not simultaneously be brought in full contacting engagement with the liquid contacting side.

The present invention enables to avoid a reduction in coupling ratio in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device. The reduction is coupling ratio is caused due to difficulties in batch forming of a control gate material, an interpoly dielectric film material, and a floating gate material, the difficulties accompanying a reduction in word line width. Further, the invention enables to avoid damage caused in the batch forming on a gate oxide film. Before forming floating gates of memory cells of a nonvolatile memory, a space enclosed by insulating layers is formed for each of the floating gates of the memory cells, so that the floating gate is buried in the space. This structure is realized by processing the floating gates in a self alignment manner after depositing the floating gate material. Therefore, it is unnecessary to perform the batch forming of the control gate material, the interpoly dielectric film material, and the floating gate material in the case of processing the control gates, thereby ensuring adequate interpoly dielectric film capacitance.
