Patent EP-0917260-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BARNARD JOSEPH ALAN DR
IPC: H01S5/026
Filed: 1997-11-11
Abstract: The present invention relates to the electrical
isolation of components within an integrated opto-electronic
device where two or more active regions are
optically coupled, for example by a waveguide. The
device (101) comprises a distributed feed-back laser
diode (102) and an electro-absorption modulator (104)
fabricated on the same substrate (106). The laser
diode and modulator are: separated by an electrical
isolation region (118); linked optically across the
isolation region by a waveguide (110); and capped by a
ternary cap layer (116) through which ohmic contacts
(124,128;126,130) are made to operate the components
(102,104). The cap layer (116) extends to the
isolation region (118) from which a grounding contact
(140,142,146) is made to ground the cap layer (116) in
the isolation region (118) and so electrically isolate
the laser diode (102) and modulator (104) from each
other.

Abstract: To produce a mattress, this new method starts with a raw slab of latex (1), whose dimensions are non-standard for a mattress. The new approach places the slab in a rigid frame of set dimensions, which is essentially a forming templet (3), and which causes slab compression. Over the upper surface, a covering (4) of greater stiffness is e.g. adhered. This maintains the width and/or length of the slab after it is pulled out, at a value corresponding to that of the templet frame (3), resulting in a mattress of standard width and/or length. Also claimed is a bedding mattress made as described.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to delivery systems for the localized administration of a medicament to the upper respiratory tract. The delivery system comprises: (a) a save and effective amount of a medicament useful for treating the upper respiratory tract; (b) an ionic polysaccharide; and (c) a cross-linking agent. The present invention provides for the controlled, in situ formation of a thin, bioadhesive film which may bind to the buccal epithelial cells which form the surface of said upper respiratory tract. Said film formation occurs when the delivery system of the present invention comprising a medicament, an ionic polysaccharide and a cross-linking agent, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, is slowly ingested by dissolution through salivation of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. By a series of cross-linking reactions, the cross-linking agent polymerizes the ionic polysaccharide to a film in the form of aggregates, which bind to the buccal epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract. During the in situ cross-linking reaction, the medicament becomes entrapped in the bioadhesive polymer aggregate and thereafter is gradually released, i.e., becomes available through dissolution.

Abstract: In a semiconductor device having a trench type insulated

semiconductor device is limited by the breakdown of the
insulator layer 9, and it is difficult to realize high withstand
voltage.

relaxation semiconductor region 1 of a conduction type opposite
