An anti-fuse memory cell having a variable thickness gate oxide. The variable thickness gate oxide has a thick gate oxide portion and a thin gate oxide portion, where the thing gate oxide portion has at least one dimension less than a minimum feature size of a process technology. The thin gate oxide can be rectangular in shape or triangular in shape. The anti-fuse transistor can be used in a two-transistor memory cell having an access transistor with a gate oxide substantially identical in thickness to the thick gate oxide of the variable thickness gate oxide of the anti-fuse transistor.

A method is provided involving the growth of carbon nanotubes to provide giant resistance anisotropy or a low-k dielectric. The method comprises growing a plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (18) orthogonal to a first conductive layer (14). A dielectric material (22, 32, 60) is formed covering the plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures and then etched to remove a portion of the dielectric material (22, 32, 60) to expose the ends (24, 34, 68) of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). A second conductive layer (26, 36, 84) is formed over the dielectric material (22, 32, 60) to make contact with the ends (24, 34, 68) of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). One or both of the first (14) and second (26, 36, 84) layers may be patterned for accessing individual or groups of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). In another exemplary embodiment, the one-dimensional nanostructures (18) may be removed prior to forming the second layer (84), thereby creating a high-k dielectric layer (32) between the first and second layers (14, 84).

A foldable shoe having a sole comprises a forward sole portion extending from a front toe part of the shoe to an in-step part, a rear sole portion extending from a rear most part of the shoe to said in-step, said forward sole portion and said rearward sole portion co-operating to form a substantially continuous sole when the shoe is worn by a user; and said forward sole portion and said rearward sole portion being separable from each other when the sole is in a folded condition.
摘要:
A high speed sensing scheme for a non-volatile memory array is disclosed. The memory array includes non volatile memory cells arranged in a complementary bitline configuration includes precharge circuits for precharging the bitlines to a first voltage level such as VSS, a reference circuits for applying a reference charge on the reference bitlines of the complementary bitline pairs, and bitline sense amplifiers for sensing a voltage differential between the complementary bitline pairs. A voltage on the data bitline being changed when a programmed non-volatile memory cell connected to an activated wordline couples the wordline voltage to the data bitline.
摘要:
A system and method for permitting a sender to provide electronic mail (email) to a recipient, said method comprising providing a recipient email address to the sender; requesting of the recipient that the sender be allowed to send email to the recipient; determining whether the request is acceptable based on at least one of: 1) a sender identity verification method; 2) user input; and 3) third party information; adding the sender to an email access list if the request is acceptable; and wherein the email access is used to determine whether or not email from the sender is permitted to reach the recipient.
摘要:
A system for transacting business with customers is disclosed. The system includes a dispatch division receiving a complaint from a customer related to a problem the customer is experiencing. The dispatch division then deploys a technician to repair the problem. While the technician is conducting the repair, the system permits the technician to interact with the customer and negotiate and close deals for additional or modified products, services or features that the customer may want. The system also includes provisions for allowing the technician to retrieve information related to the customer and includes features that automatically notify various appropriate business offices for follow-up with the customer.
摘要:
A method and system for publishing a plurality of books for user access to information includes selecting a plurality of books, converting each book from a publisher's digital form, e.g., by training a tool to detect characteristic features (such as layout, typeface, and hierarchical or organizational features such as chapter headings, captions, drawings and tables), and extracting text or data information of the book tagged with the features. This produces a searchable library database arranged, for example, as an xml database indexed by book structure such that a user may remotely, over the internet or other network, access the database, search desired content, and view an image of a portion of the book with the desired data. The system includes a user registration module to identify an authorized user, and may maintain a personal bookshelf for the user. A search engine may score search results based on their position in the hierarchy or other factors, determining degree of relevance of text or data information located by the search engine. The other factors may include position of located search data in the hierarchy, identification of search data in the user's personal library or in a prior search by the user, or degree of match of data identified in the search. An interface with a commercially available search engine may operate to adapt the search. When provided a search query by a user, it may search for an exact match and score hits for relevance, and in the event an exact match is not found, operate to expand the query and return hits in order of rank together with an indication of the expanded search. The user may thus ascertain a degree of likely relevance of returned text or data information. The relational database may include hyperlinks to section headings and related data passages, such that a user accessing a page of a book may immediately view related data and context of a page. The relational database is indexed by logical subunits of the book such that expanded searches for Boolean combinations or proximity of elements span page breaks of book text to identify all instances of the desired search data. The search engine may expand a search if all hits have low ranking, and may suppress hits of low ranking when the search produces hits of high ranking. In further embodiments, the search engine may search tables, drawings and formulae of the converted book file.
