Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a film-covered
flange comprising the following steps. An injection molding
press having a cavity (12) and a core (14) receives a pre-moulded
thermoformed film (18). The film (18) is formed to
have an in-turned flange portion (24,26) that will form the
covering for the final article. The film (18) is placed
within the mold. The core (14) has a slide (30,32) movable
between retracted and extended positions. The slide (30,32)
is retracted and the core is moved within the mold. After
the press (10) is closed the slide (30,32) is moved from the
retracted position to the extended position. The slide
includes a recessed portion (34,36) that lies opposite the
flange portion (24,26) to create a space (42) therebetween.
A molten plastic material is injected into the space (42).
The plastic material adheres to the flange portion (24,26)
and forms an article having a covered flange.

Abstract: A mobile communications antenna is implemented in a single layer of
conducting material. Wire-slot sections, including wire-tabs defining slots in
the material, partially extend around the perimeter of at least one patch-tab
section of the antenna. The perimeter of the at least one patch-tab section
forms one edge of each slot, and the wire-tab of a wire-slot section forms a
second edge of the slot. The wire-tabs of the wire-slot sections are separated
from the patch-tab section by the slots and merge into the patch-tab section
at a desired point. The length of each of the wire-slot sections may vary. A
portion of each of a pair of the wire-tabs of the wire-slot sections functions as
an input feed. The patch-tab section may be implemented as a single tab or
as a plurality of tabs separated from one another by a slot. By varying the
relative geometries of the patch-tab, wire-slots and tabs of the wire-slots, the
electrical properties of the antenna, including the input impedance, can be
adjusted.

Title: Barriere d'azote sous les regions source/drain d'un transistor retardant la diffusion des dopants
Inventor: GARDNER MARK I
IPC: H01L21/265
Filed: 1998-06-03
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une région à implantation d'azote située sensiblement sous et à côté de la région source/drain d'un IGFET et constituant une barrière retardant la diffusion des atomes dopants de la source et du drain lors d'opérations ultérieures de traitement thermiques telles que le recuit. La couche d'azote peut être formée en implantant l'azote à une profondeur donnée avant d'implanter les dopants de la source et du drain à une profondeur moindre. De l'azote peut également être introduit dans les régions du canal de l'IGFET sous l'électrode grille pour retarder la diffusion latérale ultérieure des atomes dopants de la source et du drain. Cette introduction d'azote peut s'effectuer en une ou plusieurs phases d'implantation oblique, ou par recuit d'une couche d'azote implantée à l'aide d'un implant perpendiculaire au droit de l'électrode grille. On peut former la barrière sur le côté drain de l'IGFET ou à la fois du côté drain et du côté source et soit sous une région drain et/ou source faiblement ou fortement dopée. Une telle barrière, particulièrement intéressante dans le cas des régions source/drain dopées au bore, peut se combiner à des IGFET à canal N formés sans de telles barrières.

Abstract: A computer-based virtual instrumentation system including a host computer and an embedded system or device, wherein graphical programs created using the computer system can be downloaded to the embedded system for execution in a real-time or more deterministic manner. The present invention thus provides a method for automatically generating an embedded application in response to a graphical program created by a user. This provides the user the ability to develop or define instrument functionality using graphical programming techniques, while enabling the resulting program to operate in an embedded real-time system. The invention includes a novel method for configuring the embedded system. During execution of a graphical program in the embedded system, the block diagram portion executes in the embedded system, and the host CPU executes front panel display code to display on the screen the graphical front panel of the graphical program. The embedded system and the host computer exchange data using a front panel protocol to enable this operation. The present invention also includes improved debugging support for graphical programs executing on the embedded system. The host graphical programming system thus provides the user interface for graphical programs executing on the embedded system, essentially acting as the front panel "browser" for embedded applications. The host LabVIEW can also act as an independent application communicating with embedded LabVIEW through the shared memory. The host graphical programming system further provides a seamless environment in which the user can develop an embedded application using high level graphical programming techniques.
