摘要:
An MOSFET device having a Silicide layer of uniform thickness, and methods for its fabrication, are provided. One such method involves depositing a metal layer over wide and narrow contact trenches on the surface of a silicon semiconductor substrate. Upon formation of a uniformly thin amorphous intermixed alloy layer at the metal/silicon interface, the excess (unreacted) metal is removed. The device is annealed to facilitate the formation of a thin silicide layer on the substrate surface which exhibits uniform thickness at the bottoms of both wide and narrow contact trenches.

A method of fabricating plastic objects having an insert of Lenticular lens material integrally bonded or otherwise attached therein. In one embodiment, the method is used to fabricate a container, such as a conical cup, by first manufacturing or providing a sheet of Lenticular material comprising layers of lens material and optical ridges and grooves and an ink layer printed on the flat side of the lens material. To protect the ink from the heat of molten or moldable plastic during later plastic processing, a thermally protective substrate is attached or bonded to the ink layer by using adhesives to attach a plastic substrate or by coating the ink with coating materials that thermally protect the ink from high temperatures. In one embodiment, the protective substrate is applied in a two step process of first placing a plastic hot melt onto a polyester or other material release liner and, after cooling of the hot melt, using heat and pressure to laminate or bond the hot melt plastic to the ink and then removing the liner. Lenticular inserts are cut out of the Lenticular material sheets and the inserts are positioned within a mold where the container is formed by injection, blow, or other molding process. In this step, the substrate acts as a bonding surface as it contacts the molten plastic, melts, and then cools forming a bonding interface with the plastic used to form the container.

A tool and method for accessing fibers within an optical fiber cable is provided. The tool can be used to access optical fibers within buffer tubes held in distribution cables. The tool works well even when the buffer tubes to be accessed are held tightly within distribution cables. In one embodiment, the tool is clamped over a buffer tube and a blade is slid across a blade guide of the tool to facilitate the cutting of a fiber access window in the buffer tube. The method of accessing fibers within a fiber optic cable includes supporting a section of buffer tube and sliding a blade across the mid-portion of the supported section thereby creating optical fiber access windows therein.
摘要:
A container for producing a graphical image within the container. The container includes a container wall with a front portion and a rear portion. A label is included that extends about the circumference of the container with an inner surface contacting an exterior surface of the rear portion of the container wall and contacting an exterior surface of the front portion of the container wall. The label includes a lenticular lens array integral with the label to include a plurality of lenses formed, such as through embossing, on the outer surface of the label. The lenses have a focal point on or about the rear portion of the container wall with the lenticular lens array positioned near the front portion of the container wall. A printed image is provided and positioned proximal to the focal point on the inner surface of the label.

Internet, web-based platform that offers low cost advertising venue for companies and a convenient shopping venue for customers. The system includes storage capacity to store information on purchased and redeemed coupons, and includes logic to analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign based on statistical analysis of redeemed coupons relative to purchased coupons. One embodiment includes a system capable of automatically comparing and analyzing the customers' stored preferences with posted coupons, and automatically sending a listing of coupons that match the customer's preference by email, text message, or by any commercially available communication mode. Another embodiment includes a coupon sales revenue sharing function between the web site and the matched coupon company that credits both the web site's account and the company's account for each coupon sold, where the company's shared revenue portion can be limited.

摘要:
A container for producing a graphical image. The container includes a container wall with front and rear portions. A label is included that extends about the circumference of the container with an inner surface contacting an exterior surface of the rear portion of the container wall and contacting an exterior surface of the front portion of the container wall. The label includes a block out grid made up of alternating block out lines and transparent viewing gaps on the outer or inner surface of the label. The view gaps provide a line of sight to subset of the segments of an interlaced image provided on or proximate to the rear portion of the container wall when the block out grid is positioned near the front portion of the container wall. The label may be used to create an air gap between the block out grid and the interlaced image.
