Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
An ear thermometer protection lid structure is proposed, in which a lid is disposed on a sensing end of an ear thermometer. When the ear thermometer is used to measure the temperature, the lid is taken off and sleeved onto a grasp end of the ear thermometer to increase the length of the grasp end. The grasp portion of the ear thermometer can thus be lengthened to facilitate grasping and prevent the protection lid from being lost. Moreover, the length of the handle portion can be shortened during manufacturing to lower the cost, and the volume of the ear thermometer can be shrunk to facilitate portability.
Abstract:
An electromechanical device package includes a cap material permanently bonded to a device wafer encapsulating an electromechanical device. An intermediate material is used to bond the device and capping material together at a low temperature, and a structure including the intermediate material emanating from either the device or cap material, or both, provides an interlocking at the bonding interface. One package includes a reusable carrier wafer with a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as a mating material and a low cost cap wafer of different material than the device wafer. A method for temporarily bonding the cap material to the carrier wafer includes attaching the cap material to the carrier wafer and is then singulated to mitigate thermal expansion mismatch with the device wafer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a magnetic write element for use in a magnetic data recording system such as a disk drive. The invention provides a method of manufacturing a well defined coil, which avoids the problem of shallow wall angle problems exhibited by prior art methods due to coil mask shrinkage during high temperature bake. A series of trenches are provided in the coil mask, the trenches being shallower than the coil pattern, and not extending completely through the coil pattern. During the high temperature baking process shrinkage of the coil mask will be absorbed by the trenches and not transferred to the coil pattern, preventing deformation of the coil wall portion of the mask.
Abstract:
A probe cover dispenser comprises a main body, an elastic component, and a separation board. The main body has a receiving groove therein. A groove is disposed at the top end of the main body. The elastic component is disposed in the receiving groove. One end of the elastic component is fixed at the bottom of the receiving groove, and the other end thereof is connected with a separation sheet. A plurality of probe covers are stacked in the receiving grooves above the separation sheet. The separation board is disposed in the groove at the top end of the main body. One end of the separation board is pivotally connected with the top end of the main body so that the separation board can be screwed into the groove at the top end of the main body to separate the first probe cover from the second probe cover.
Abstract:
A method for forming a plated magnetic thin film of high saturation magnetization and low coercivity having the general form Co100-a-bFeaMb, where M can be Mo, Cr, W, Ni or Rh, which is suitable for use in magnetic recording heads that write on narrow trackwidth, high coercivity media. The plating method includes four current application processes: direct current, pulsed current, pulse reversed current and conditioned pulse reversed current.
Abstract:
A probe cover of a tympanic thermometer having a probe comprises a base in the form of a ring-type plastic sheet formed with a central opening; and a film sheath that is infrared transparent and has an open end and a closed end, wherein the open end is attached to the base, the sheath portion extended from the central opening can be fitted on the probe of tympanic thermometer, the film sheath comprises a first wall section, a second wall section, and a window between the open end and the closed end, wherein the entire first wall section is formed of a plurality of pleat surfaces and the width of each pleat surface is gradually reduced in the direction from the open end to the closed end, the second wall section is formed by plastic deformation and thus has a smooth wall surface, and the window is in the form of a flat closed surface for fitting on the front end of the probe.
Abstract:
A method for forming a hemispherical silicon grain (HSG) layer on a polysilicon electrode is provided. The method is suitable for a substrate, which has a dielectric layer over the substrate with an opening to expose the substrate, and a polysilicon layer is formed over the substrate. A portion of the polysilicon layer is removed above dielectric layer other than the opening region. Each sidewall of the polysilicon layer is slanted so that a trapezoidal polysilicon base is formed. A buffer layer is formed over the trapezoidal polysilicon base. An ion implantation process is performed to form an amorphous silicon layer with sufficient depth on a top surface region of the trapezoidal polysilicon base. The buffer layer includes silicon oxide or silicon nitride. During ion implantation, oxygen or nitrogen elements can also be bombarded into the amorphous silicon layer so as to buffer the amorphous silicon layer to be re-crystallized. A selective HSG layer is formed on the trapezoidal polysilicon electrode base.
Abstract:
A probe cover assembly for covering and protecting the elongated probe of a tympanic thermometer. The probe cover includes an inner member, an outer member, and an intermediate transparent membrane. The inner member is mounted around the probe and includes an inner window in alignment with a distal opening of the probe and an inner flange having a projection. The outer member, closely mounted on the outer circumference of the inner member, includes an outer window in alignment with the inner window of the inner member, an outer flange, and a barb having a grip portion for biasing the inner flange of the inner member to push the projection against the outer flange of the outer member when the probe cover is in an assembled state. The intermediate transparent membrane, sandwiched between the outer member and the inner member, is gripped by the projection of the inner member and the outer flange of the outer member and is tightly stretched to cover the inner window of the inner member.
