International Classification:

H01L 2976

US Classification:

257392, 257336, 257371, 257391, 257408, 257596

Abstract:

The present invention provides a process for fabricating merged integrated circuits on a semiconductor wafer substrate. The process comprises forming a gate oxide on the semiconductor wafer substrate, forming a first transistor having a first gate on the gate oxide, and forming a second transistor having a second gate on the same gate oxide. The first transistor is optimized to a first operating voltage by varying a physical property of the first gate, varying a first tub doping profile, or varying a first source/drain doping profile. The second transistor is optimized to a second operating voltage by varying a physical property of the second gate, varying a second tub doping profile, or varying a second source/drain doping profile of the second transistor. These physical characteristics may be changed in any combination or singly to achieve the determined optimization of the operating voltage of any given transistor.

International Classification:

G03F009/00

US Classification:

430394, 430 5, 430311, 430397

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer uses a reticle having a plurality of spaced apart circuit images of identical patterns or images of a common level of a single integrated circuit formed on the reticle and arranged in columns and rows about its central point. At least one column of spaced apart test images are formed outside of and adjacent an outermost column of circuit images. Radiation is projected through the reticle for exposing the patterns on the reticle onto an underlying wafer. A reticle holder having a pair of shutter elements aligned parallel to the columns of images selectively blocks the projection of radiation through the columns of the test images but are exposed in order to form test circuits on the wafer at selected locations.

Assignee:

Medility LLC - Clermont FL

International Classification:

G01L 1/00

US Classification:

73855

Abstract:

A bandage type sensor arrangement wherein the sensor includes two parts movable with respect to each other, a carrier assembly is connected to the sensor parts for maintaining the sensor parts in place prior to use, and that is readily detachable for releasing the sensor parts while providing a connection of the sensor parts to a surface to be monitored. A cover is included as part of the carrier assembly to protect the operation of the sensor.

International Classification:

A61B 5/08

US Classification:

600534, 600587, 600588, 32420711, 73862331

Abstract:

Sensors, apparatus, and methods for measuring movements are disclosed. The sensors include input and output windings wound about a common location and an armature is equally positioned relative to both windings movable to vary inductance reactance of the sensor. The mass of the sensor and the ease of movements are such that flexible membranes, such as skin, can be monitored with insignificant interference. The sensor can be included in “Band-aid” bandage arrangement in which the bandage backing can be removed and held in place on skin by the bandage. A monitoring circuit, responsive to the changes in sensor impedance, provides indications of the detected movements. The monitoring circuit includes an arrangement for self-adjusting parameters so that the system can be automatically preset and continually reset. The monitoring circuit includes a power savings arrangement.

Assignee:

Medility LLC - Clermont FL

International Classification:

G01B 7/14
A61B 5/103

US Classification:

32420717, 600595

Abstract:

A generally planar shaped inductor is disclosed that is particularly adaptable for use in motion or position sensors. One inductor can function as a signal input unit and another as a pick up unit in an arrangement wherein both inductors are placed in a generally parallel juxtaposition for flux flow there between. A movable armature is located between the inductors to control the amount of flux transmission between inductors. The position of the armature relative to the inductors controls the output signal generated by the pickup inductor that are adapted to be converted into indications of displacements.

Abstract:

Techniques for virtual archiving are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for performing virtual archiving comprising applying archiving rules to a backup catalog, generating a virtual archive catalog based at least in part on a result of applying archiving rules to the backup catalog, determining a backup image associated with the virtual archive catalog becoming expired and converting the backup image into an archive image.
