Abstract: In a ferroelectric or electret memory circuit (C), particularly a ferroelectric or electret memory circuit with improved fatigue resistance, a ferroelectric or electret memory cell, preferably of polymer or oligomer memory material contacting first and second electrodes, at least one of the electrodes comprises at least one functional material capable of physical and/or chemical bulk incorporation of atomic or molecular species contained in the either electrode or the memory material and displaying a propensity for migrating in the form of mobile charged and/or neutral particles between an electrode and a memory material, something which can be detrimental to both. A functional material with the above-mentioned properties shall serve to offset any adverse effect of a migration of this kind, leading to an improvement in the fatigue resistance of the memory cell. Use in a matrix-addressable memory device where the memory cells are formed in distinct portions in a global layer of a ferroelectric or electret thin-film memory material, particularly a polymer material.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method and system for producing radiation of a desired frequency with temperature invariance. Two or more radiation sources that produce an output are included. A temperature difference between the sources is sensed and a temperature difference signal is produced. A control unit controls a heat flux to one or more or between two or more of the sources based on the temperature difference signal. The control unit may provide the heat flux by self-heating by a supplied current or by heater/coolers. The outputs of the two or more radiation sources are mixed in or on a nonlinear medium. The mixing of the outputs produces beat frequencies and a desired beat frequency or frequencies may be selected by a resonant structure. The beat frequencies are invariant with fluctuations in ambient temperature.

Abstract: A method to control the post sinter distortion of hot pressing sintered multilayer ceramic laminate by placing a non-densifying structure in the green ceramic laminate prior to sintering. One or more non-densifying structures are placed on one or more ceramic greensheets which are then stacked and laminated to form a green ceramic laminate. The laminate is then sintered and the non-densifying structure will control the dimensions of the hot pressed multilayer ceramic substrate. The method can be used to control post sinter dimensions in MLC substrates manufactured as either single or multi-up substrates by placing the non-densifying structure in the kerf area between the individual product ups prior to sintering.
