Abstract: A medical instrument includes a sound card or an internal capability for generating sounds from a digital music or sound file. The medical instrument is one which generates unwanted noise and is constantly in the presence of a patient or an operator, and may be in a home, a clinic, a laboratory, or other intimate setting. For instance, a patient may be typically connected for hours to a hemodialysis machine that has a noisy pump. A blood-plasma volunteer may be hooked to a noisy blood separation machine for a period of time. A laboratory technician may work in close proximity to a sample preparation machine that constantly gurgles and whirrs. In each instance, a sound card and a speaker can generate previously-recorded masking noises that make that the presence and operation of the machine more tolerable.

Abstract: A method for fabricating an NPN bipolar transistor comprises forming a base layer on a top surface of a substrate. The NPN bipolar transistor may be an NPN silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor. The method for fabricating the NPN bipolar transistor may further comprise a cap layer situated over the base layer. According to this embodiment, the method for fabricating the NPN bipolar transistor further comprises fabricating an emitter over the base layer, where the emitter defines an intrinsic and an extrinsic base region of the base layer. The emitter may comprise, for example, polycrystalline silicon. The method for fabricating the NPN bipolar transistor further comprises implanting germanium in the extrinsic base region of the base layer so as to make the extrinsic base region substantially amorphous. The method for fabricating the NPN bipolar transistor further comprises implanting boron in the extrinsic base region of the base layer.
