    摘要: A device includes an energy storage device, a plurality of electrodes, a memory, a switching circuit, and a processing module. The energy storage device stores electrical energy for delivery of defibrillation therapy to a heart. The memory stores N therapy configurations that define which of the plurality of electrodes are used to deliver defibrillation therapy and a waveform to be applied during delivery of defibrillation therapy. The switching circuit connects the plurality of electrodes to the energy storage device. The processing module controls the switching circuit to deliver defibrillation therapy according to a first therapy configuration of the N therapy configurations, detects a short circuit fault during delivery of the defibrillation therapy according to the first therapy configuration, and selects a second therapy configuration of the N therapy configurations based on when the short circuit fault was detected during delivery of the defibrillation therapy according to the first therapy configuration.

    摘要: A method is described for selectively treating the properties of a gate dielectric near corners of the gate without altering the gate dielectric in a center region of a gate channel. The method includes providing a structure having a gate opening and depositing a layer of dielectric with a high dielectric constant on a bottom surface and side walls of the gate opening. The corner regions of the high dielectric constant layer formed adjacent to the bottom surface and the side walls of the gate opening are selectively treated without altering the center region of the high dielectric constant layer formed at the bottom surface of the gate opening.

    摘要: A medical device includes an energy storage device, a plurality of electrodes, a memory, a switching circuit, and a processing module. The energy storage device stores electrical energy for delivery of defibrillation therapy to a heart. The memory stores N therapy configurations, each of the N therapy configurations defining which of the plurality of electrodes are used to deliver defibrillation therapy and further defining a waveform to be applied during delivery of defibrillation therapy. The switching circuit is configured to connect the plurality of electrodes to the energy storage device. The processing module is configured to control the switching circuit to deliver defibrillation therapy according to a first therapy configuration, detect a fault during delivery of the defibrillation therapy according to the first therapy configuration, and select a second therapy configuration based on when the fault was detected during delivery of the defibrillation therapy according to the first therapy configuration.

    摘要: A method is provided for forming sub-micron-size structures over a substrate. A width-defining step is formed over the substrate. A width-defining layer is formed over an edge of the width-defining step. The width-defining layer is etched back to leave a spacer adjacent the width-defining step. A length-defining step is formed over the substrate. A length-defining layer is formed over an edge of the length-defining step. The length-defining layer is etched back to leave a spacer adjacent a first edge of the length-defining step and across a first portion of the spacer left by the width-defining layer. The length-defining step is then removed. The spacer left by the width-defining layer is then etched with the spacer left by the length-defining layer serving as a mask, to form the structure.
