In an embodiment, a method of forming a capacitor for a semiconductor device of which structural stability is improved is shown. Cylindrical storage electrodes are formed in a matrix pattern on a substrate that includes an insulation interlayer having contacts therein so that a mold layer surrounds the cylindrical storage electrodes. Sacrificial plugs are formed with a cap within these electrodes. A stabilizing layer is formed on the etched mold layer and the cylindrical storage electrode by partially etching the mold layer. The stabilizing layer is etched until the sacrificial plug is exposed, thereby forming a spacer. While the sacrificial plug and the mold layer are fully removed, the spacer is partially removed, thereby forming a stabilizing member for supporting neighboring storage electrodes adjacent to each other. Accordingly, a structural stability of the capacitor is improved.

The invention provides a method and apparatus for creating plasma particles and applying the plasma particles to a liquid. Liquid feedstock (e.g., water and/or hydrocarbons mixed with biomass) is pumped through a pipeline; the single-phase stream is then transformed into a biphasic liquid-and-gas stream inside a chamber. The transformation is achieved by transitioning the stream from a high pressure zone to a lower-pressure zone. The pressure drop may occur when the stream further passes through a device for atomizing liquid. Inside the chamber, an electric field is generated with an intensity level that exceeds the threshold of breakdown voltage of the biphasic medium leading to a generation of a plasma state. Furthermore, the invention provides an energy-efficient highly adaptable and versatile method and apparatus for sanitizing water using plasma particles to inactivate biological agents contaminating water.

A normal vector mapping unit maps a texture of the MIP-map level corresponding to a level of detail (LOD) of a polygon onto a polygon surface to generate a pseudo-normal vector on the polygon surface. A normal vector replacing unit refers to the vector quantization (VQ) table of the relevant MIP-map level and replaces the pseudo-normal vector on the polygon surface with a quantized reference normal vector. A brightness value acquiring unit refers to the color lookup table (CLUT) of the relevant MIP-map level, and acquires the brightness value corresponding to the reference normal vector on the polygon surface. The brightness value acquiring unit also interpolates brightness values between different MIP-map levels. A graphic processor combines the RGB value of each pixel of the polygon surface with the brightness value acquired by the brightness value acquiring unit to write the combined data into a frame buffer.

In the surface polishing method, a fixed abrasive grain polishing tool is used, in which the fixed abrasive grains are a porous substance of granule type in which many primary grains are partially bonded with each other with spaces among them without having the binder therein. The surface polishing method includes the steps of supplying loose abrasive grain slurry between the fixed abrasive grain polishing tool and a surface to be polished of an object, and dressing the top parts of the abrasive grains of the fixed abrasive grain polishing tool which parts contact the surface to be polished of the object by the supplied loose abrasive grains.

For a low saturation and high density region in a printed sheet identified based on rasterized data, flushing ejection is executed, with landing positions dispersed in the above-mentioned region. For a region which is low in saturation but is not high in density, an edge portion of the above-mentioned region is determined as the landing positions. During these processes, the adjustment is additionally made to the ejection from inkjet nozzles for color components which are not to be subjected to the flushing ejection, to thereby maintain the original hue of the above-mentioned region. This achieves the flushing ejection while minimizing the degradation of the quality of the printed sheet. Further, in the variable printing, whether the flushing ejection is necessary or not is judged based on details to be printed on a base page. This causes the execution of the flushing ejection whenever individual printed sheets are produced. Therefore, the print quality is held uniform during the production of a multiplicity of different printed sheets.

The invention discloses a depth information extraction-based wall flatness detection method and belongs to the distance measurement technique based on binocular vision. According to the technical scheme of the invention, the depth information from a camera to a wall surface is extracted by a binocular camera. Two sets of image pairs of a to-be-detected region, namely two depth information graphs, are respectively acquired from different angles, and then the corresponding depth information is obtained. During the acquisition process of the depth information graphs, the existing Hhartley correction method is improved, and the real-time performance and the accuracy of the correction process are improved. Meanwhile, one depth information graph is rotated and translated, so that the coordinates of the imaging spaces of the two depth information graphs are overlapped. In this way, a reinforced depth information graph is generated. The mode of the depth value of the reinforced depth information graph is adopted as the distance value of the to-be-detected region. Based on the size relationship between the distance value and a preset threshold, the flatness of the to-be-detected region is judged. The method can be applied to the intelligent plastering operation and has the advantages of simple, convenient and intelligent operation, high flatness detection timeliness and high accuracy.

Timing information for use to determine the timing to discharge a sheet from an image forming apparatus is transmitted. The timing information is relayed, by being edited repeatedly, from a first sheet processing apparatus connected directly with the image forming apparatus to a second sheet processing apparatus which actually processes the sheet. The timing information is edited on each sheet processing apparatus by considering, for example, transit time of the sheet, processing time of the sheet, preparation time for the sheet to get ready to be processed, and the like. The second sheet processing apparatus transmits the timing information to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus determines the discharge timing of the sheet based on the received timing information and discharges the sheet with the determined discharge timing.
