    摘要: Methods are provided for fabricating a stressed MOS device. One method comprises the steps of providing a substrate of a monocrystalline semiconductor material having a first lattice constant, and forming a conductive gate electrode overlying the substrate, the gate electrode having opposing sides and having a thickness. Sidewall spacers are formed on the opposing sides of the gate electrode and trenches are etched in the semiconductor substrate in alignment with the sidewall spacers. A portion of the thickness of the conductive gate electrode is also etched to leave a remaining portion of the conductive gate electrode. A stress inducing layer of material is grown on the remaining portion of the conductive gate electrode and filling the trenches, the stress inducing layer of material having a second lattice constant different than the first lattice constant.

    摘要: A mask-forming film has a transparent layer between the imageable layer and the carrier sheet, which transparent layer has a refractive index that is lower (by at least 0.04) than that of the carrier sheet or any immediately adjacent layer between it and the carrier sheet. This lower refractive index layer modifies the path of incident radiation during mask image transfer so as to provide steeper shoulder angles in the relief image solid areas. This mask film is used to form a relief image such as in a flexographic printing plate.

    摘要: Hyperclusters are a cluster of clusters. Each cluster has associated with it one or more resource groups, and independent node failures within the clusters are handled by platform specific clustering software. The management of coordinated failovers across dependent or independent resources running on heterogeneous platforms is contemplated. A hypercluster manager running on all of the nodes in a cluster communicates with platform specific clustering software regarding any failure conditions, and utilizing a rule-based decision making system, determines actions to take on the node. A plug-in extends exit points definable in non-hypercluster clustering technologies. The failure notification is passed to other affected resource groups in the hypercluster.

    摘要: A method far farming different active thicknesses on the same silicon layer includes masking the silicon layer and exposing selected regions of the silicon layer. The thickness of the silicon layer at the exposed regions is changed, either by adding silicon or subtracting silicon from the layer at the exposed regions. Once the mask is removed, the silicon layer has regions of different active thicknesses, respectively suitable for use in different types of devices, such as diodes and transistors.

The first and second annular magnets are separated by a paramagnetic (e.g. aluminum or titanium) spacer. Ends of the first and second annular magnets facing each other are magnetized in one polarity and ends of the first and second cylindrical magnets facing the end portions of the enclosure are magnetized in an opposite polarity. The magnetic field of an operating pole of the assembly is created by the proximity of like-charged portions of the facing magnets, and is directed radially outward of the longitudinal axis of the float enclosure toward the outside of the enclosure.

    摘要: The ambient broadband radio frequency field strength from broadcast stations is monitored (FIG. 4) by periodic sampling (50, 52). A warning indication is provided if the field strength drops significantly. Drops in such field strength have been correlated empirically with the occurrence of seismic activity, usually several days later. Thus the indication serves as an early warning of an impending earthquake. In one preferred embodiment, a broadband, horizontal, very long monopole antenna (40) was connected to a rectifying and smoothing circuit (FIG. 3) to provide a dc output proportional to the ambient rf field. This voltage is digitized (50), and using a suitably-programmed computer (52), the digital version of the field strength signal is sampled once per minute (78). A cumulative or running average of the minute samples is calculated (80) and held. Once per hour the latest running average is stored (84) and a standard deviation (SD) of the last 24 hourly stored running averages is calculated (88). If the SD exceeds a predetermined value, 0.3 in one embodiment, an alarm is triggered (92). The use of the SD eliminates the effect of day-to-day changes in the amounts of the variations of the ambient field strength, due to changes in tides and other factors. Once per day the samples are written (96) to a permanent storage file and a continuous plot of the field strength is also made (14). Preferably the alarm is triggered only if another detector also provides an indication (FIG. 6), thereby to eliminate the effect of machine error.

    摘要: A miniature sealed toggle switch having a housing (2,4) that is sealed by a gasket (16) sealed to the toggle lever by a groove (12b) and RTV (18) and to the housing by a ridge (16d) and a tapered edge (2e) on the base, and by two grooves (6d, 6e, FIG. 3) on the terminals that prevent leaks under different expansion of the metal terminals (6) and the molded base (2a, 2b, FIG. 3). Contactor erosion is reduced by a drop (26d) on the contactor causing arc movement on opening. Grooves (2g, 2h) and arc shields (2f) in the base prevent formation of conductive paths. A stepped taper (12d) on the toggle lever and a tapered hole (28a) reduce wear. Nickel plating of the brass lever (12) and aluminum bushing (4a) insure ground of the lever. The contactor configuration (32c, 32d, FIG. 5), clearance between the toggle lever and actuator, and energy storage in conical spring (30) provide non-stall, non-tease operation. The radius of the actuator tips (28c) are maintained by the radius (32a, 32b, FIG. 5) in the contactor over a time period. Non-teasable momentary action with reduced bounce is provided by spring-biased plungers (36) with controlled clearance relative to the actuator slots, conical spring (30) and contactor (42, FIG. 6) configuration with energy storage points (42d, 42e). Two-way momentary action is provided two pairs of plungers (36, 38, FIG. 8). Non-tease operation is provided by the pivot (26h', FIG. 11) of contactor suspension being above the decision point (26j', FIG. 11) of the contactor. Minor modification (26g', FIG. 11, 96c, FIG. 14a) provide ON-ON-ON operation. A common metal bushing may be used with different sizes of molded cover portion.
