A system is disclosed for an insole for use in an article of footwear. The insole includes a bottom cushion layer; a lower intermediate layer; a middle flexible layer; an upper intermediate layer; and an upper cushion layer. The layers are coupled together by either lamination or gluing. The lower intermediate layer and the upper intermediate layer are respectively embedded with a first array of magnet elements and a second array of magnet elements, such that the first array of magnet elements and the second array of magnet elements generate a repelling magnetic field that results in a repelling mechanical force that pulls the upper intermediate layer away from the lower intermediate layer. This invention is not affected by material fatigue due to prolonged pressure or temperature stress that is common in insoles for use in articles of footwear.

Disclosed is a flash EEPROM cell needing only a 5 volt external source using an on-chip voltage multiplier circuit to provide high voltages necessary to effect Fowler-Nordheim tunneling during both the program and erase modes. Properties of dielectric layers between a floating gate and a control gate and between the floating gate and a drain region differ to facilitate programming and erasing of the floating gate. Also disclosed is a method for producing a flash EEPROM cell by forming the insulative layer between a floating gate and a control gate to have a capacitance lower than the capacitance of the insulating layer between the floating gate and a drain region.

A fuse structure, an integrated circuit including the structure, and methods for making the structure and (re)configuring a circuit using the fuse. The fuse structure generally includes (a) a conductive structure with at least two circuit elements electrically coupled thereto, (b) a dielectric layer over the conductive structure, and (c) a first lens over both the first dielectric layer and the conductive structure configured to at least partially focus light onto the conductive structure. The method of making the structure generally includes the steps of (1) forming a conductive structure electrically coupled to first and second circuit elements, (2) forming a dielectric layer thereover, and (3) forming a lens on or over the dielectric layer and over the conductive structure, the lens being configured to at least partially focus light onto the conductive structure. The method of (re)configuring a circuit generally includes the steps of (i) irradiating at least one lens on or near a surface of the circuit sufficient to electrically disconnect a corresponding first fuse positioned under the lens and disable a first configuration of the circuit, and (ii) irradiating at least one other lens on or near the surface of the circuit sufficient to electrically disconnect a corresponding second fuse positioned under that lens and enable a second configuration of the circuit. The structure and methods advantageously provide fuse structures having improved reliability and smaller chip area, thereby increasing the yield of the manufacturing process and the numbers of die per wafer (both gross and good).
