A notebook computer force-controlled pointing stick device incorporates a more comfortable cap with enhanced ergonomic features. The device is generally cylindrical in shape and is located between the G, H, and B keys on the computer keyboard. The upper end of the device has a donut-like shape with a concave or crown-shaped central portion that forms well to the user's finger and provides better control, but does not interfere with typing. The upper end preferably has a rubber tip that provides improved control for a finger of a user. In an alternate version, the device is similar in shape to a bicycle saddle.

A notebook type PC, for easier use by a user, including a liquid crystal monitor unit, a mainframe section, and an arm for connecting the liquid crystal monitor unit to the mainframe section, is provided. One end of the arm is connected to the liquid crystal monitor unit by a rotatable first hinge. The other end of the arm is connected to the mainframe section by a rotatable second hinge. The angle and distance of the liquid crystal monitor unit with respect to the mainframe section can be set freely by the first hinge and the second hinge.

A mechanism provides for sending an envelope and replying to an envelope. A transmitter is configured to send an envelope. A receiver is coupled to the transmitter, wherein the receiver is configured to receive the envelope and generate a reply envelope. A send buffer is coupled to the transmitter. A receive buffer is coupled to the receiver. A retry timer is coupled to the transmitter, wherein the retry timer is configured to reset upon the receipt of a reply envelope correlated to the transmit envelope. The transmitter is configured to retransmit an envelope if the transmitter does not receive a corresponding reply envelope within a selected time period as determined by the retry timer. This leads to a decrease in the total number of envelopes, transmitted from both the transmitter and the receiver.

A collapsible-light shield for a portable computer shields direct and indirect light from the computer display and from the eyes of the user. The light shield has four flexible panels that form a tubular shape when in use. One end of the light shield has a contoured viewing port through which the user may view the screen. The other end of the light shield has a ring-like elastic fastener that detachably secures to three sides of the computer display. Each panel has two bisecting fold lines about which the tubular light shield may be collapsed into a substantially flat profile that is a small fraction of its original size.

A method is for making at least one semiconductor device including providing a sacrificial growth substrate of Lithium Aluminate (LiAlO2); forming at least one semiconductor layer including a Group III nitride adjacent the sacrificial growth substrate; attaching a mounting substrate adjacent the at least one semiconductor layer opposite the sacrificial growth substrate; and removing the sacrificial growth substrate. The method may further include adding at least one contact onto a surface of the at least one semiconductor layer opposite the mounting substrate, and dividing the mounting substrate and at least one semiconductor layer into a plurality of individual semiconductor devices. To make the final devices, the method may further include bonding the mounting substrate of each individual semiconductor device to a heat sink. The step of removing the sacrificial substrate may include wet etching the sacrificial growth substrate.
