For manufacture of a semiconductor device using a low heat resistant substrate such as a glass substrate, a method of heat treatment for activating an impurity element that is used to dope a semiconductor film and for performing gettering on the semiconductor film in a short period of time without deforming the substrate, is provided. Also provided is a heat treatment apparatus for carrying out the above heat treatment. The heat treatment method of the present invention involves irradiating an object with light emitted from a lamp light source, and is characterized in that the lamp light source emits light for 0.1 to 20 seconds at a time and that light from the lamp light source irradiates the object several times. The method is also characterized in that the irradiated region is subjected to pulsating light from the lamp light source such that the irradiated region holds the temperature to its highest for 0.5 to 5 seconds. The method is also characterized in that the amount of coolant to be supplied is increased or reduced in accordance with blinking of the lamp light source to enhance the effect of the heat treatment on the semiconductor film and to prevent a heat-induced damage to the substrate.

A method for drying a ceramic article comprises providing microwave radiation from a microwave generating source, providing a ceramic honeycomb structure having a middle portion and at least one end, and exposing the ceramic honeycomb structure to the microwave radiation while shielding the at least one end from directly receiving the microwave radiation, such that the radiation absorbed by the middle portion is equal to or greater than the radiation absorbed by the at least one end, and the proper drying of the entire honeycomb structure without heat-induced structural degradation is thus ensured.

The invention provides a method of assembling together two thin plane parts (1, 2) by friction welding. A main sheet (19) made of a material having high thermal conductivity is held against the parts (1, 2) for assembly. The main sheet (19) picks up the heat induced by the friction of a welding pin (5) against the parts (1, 2) for the purpose of forming the weld bead (17), and it dissipates this heat by radiation. Temperature regulation of the welding operation is obtained by the main sheet (19), ensuring that no localized excess heating occurs in the welding zone. The main sheet (19) is based on copper and presents a thickness that is less than the thickness of the parts (1, 2).

An automated in situ heat induced antigen recovery and staining method and apparatus for treating a plurality of microscope slides. The process of heat induced antigen recovery and the process of staining the biological sample on the microscope slide are conducted in the same apparatus, wherein the microscope slides do not need to be physically removed from one apparatus to another. Each treatment step occurs within the same reaction compartment. The reaction conditions of each reaction compartment for treating a slide can preferably be controlled independently, including the individualized application of reagents to each slide and the individualized treatment of each slide.

A heat-shrinkable film and a method of its manufacture are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a polystyrene film exhibits heat-induced growth in the cross direction of great than or equal to 5% with greater than or equal to 30% concomitant shrinkage in the machine direction. The films may comprise crystal polystyrene, high impact polystyrene, and / or elastomers. A method of manufacture is disclosed which includes a post-extrusion temperature conditioning step.

A high performance zoom lens system suitable for use with a camera is disclosed. The zoom lens systems employs liquid optics and a movable lens group to provide optical performance over the zoom focal length range at focus distances from close to infinity. The system also provides compensation for undesirable thermally induced effects by adjustments of the zoom group and the variably shaped optical surface in the liquid lens cell.

A process for forming a cocrystalline mixture of titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc) and titanyl fluorophthalocyanine (TiOFPc) includes: dry milling a mixture of crude TiOPc and crude TiOFPc, thereby forming an amorphous pigment mixture of TiOPc and TiOFPc; and heating the amorphous pigment mixture at a temperature effective to form a cocrystalline composition comprising titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc) and titanyl fluorophthalocyanine (TiOFPc), the cocrystalline composition being characterized by an X-ray diffraction spectrum exhibiting intensity peaks at 7.2°, 12.9°, 16.3°, 22.3°, 24.6°, 26.2°, and 28.8° with respect to X-rays of Cu Kαat a wavelength of 1.54 1 Å of the Bragg angle 2θ.
