Abstract:
A fluid monitoring apparatus, including a circuitry housing containing circuitry for processing fluid sensing signals and responsively transmitting an output, with a sensor assembly adapted for mechanical and electrical coupling to the circuitry housing. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensing member arranged to respond to a fluid species of interest in the monitored fluid, for generation of an output. The apparatus includes at least one of (A) a printed circuit board adapted to engage the circuitry housing and to mechanically couple to the sensor assembly, (B) the sensor assembly including a base and sensing element removably connected to the base by press-fit coupling elements, and (C) the sensor assembly including a base and a sensing filament connected thereto, and a filament guard to protectively circumscribe the sensing filament.
Abstract:
High-k materials and devices, e.g., DRAM capacitors, and methods of making and using the same. Various methods of forming perovskite films are described, including methods in which perovskite material is deposited on the substrate by a pulsed vapor deposition process involving contacting of the substrate with perovskite material-forming metal precursors. In one such method, the process is carried out with doping or alloying of the perovskite material with a higher mobility and/or higher volatility metal species than the metal species in the perovskite material- forming metal precursors. In another method, the perovskite material is exposed to elevated temperature for sufficient time to crystallize or to enhance crystallization of the perovskite material, followed by growth of the perovskite material under pulsed vapor deposition conditions. Various perovskite compositions are described, including: (Sr, Pb)TiO 3 ; SrRuO 3 or SrTiO 3 , doped with Zn, Cd or Hg; Sr(Sn,Ru)O 3 ; and Sr(Sn,Ti)O 3 .
