Title: A capacitor for an integrated circuit and method of formation thereof, and a method of adding on chip capacitors to an integrated circuit
Inventor: LEUNG PAK K
IPC: H01L21/77
Filed: 1995-11-24
Abstract: A capacitor structure and method of forming a capacitor structure for an integrated circuit is provided. The capacitor structure, comprising a first electrode, capacitor dielectric and top electrode, is formed on a passivation layer overlying the interconnect metallization. The capacitor electrodes are interconnected to the underlying integrated circuit from underneath, through conductive vias, to the underlying interconnect metallization. The method provides for adding capacitors to an otherwise completed and passivated integrated circuit. The structure is particularly applicable for ferroelectric capacitors. The passivation layer acts as a barrier layer for a ferroelectric dielectric. Large area on-chip capacitors may be added without affecting the interconnect routing or packing density of the underlying devices, and may be added almost independently of the process technology used in the formation of the underlying integrated circuit.

Title: Method for attaching a short-circuit terminal to a connector and a connector assembly containing a short-circuit terminal
Inventor: MAKINO HIROTAKA
IPC: H01R43/22
Filed: 1997-08-14
Abstract: A holding tool (40) is inserted into a retainer-attaching hole or a holding tool-accommodating space (22) with the holding tool (40) supporting a short-circuit terminal (15) therein.  The short-circuit terminal (15) is inserted into a cavity (14) in a connector housing (10) by pushing a rear end of the terminal (15) through a handling aperture (23) by means of a pushing pin (45).  Since the terminal (15) is inserted into the connector housing (10) from its lower side, a front opening of the cavity (14) can be formed into the smallest size so that a short-circuit-releasing member (31) can enter the opening (20). Extraneous substances hardly enter the cavity (14) in the connector housing (10) through the opening (20).  Also, since the handling aperture (23) may be formed into the smallest size so that the pushing pin (45) can enter the aperture (23), the connector housing (10) becomes a small size.  Thus, the connector housing (10) can be prevented from becoming a large-sized configuration and from entrance of the extraneous substances through the front opening (20) of the cavity (14).

Patent CA-2215027-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EDWIN TARUN J
IPC: A61F2/90
Filed: 1995-09-15
Abstract: A radially expandable stent-graft and method of making the same, including at least one stent member encapsulated between at least two longitudinally expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) coverings. The at least one stent member (22) has openings through wall surfaces of the stent to permit radial expansion. The at least two longitudinally expanded ePTFE coverings (24, 26) are circumferentially applied over the at least one stent member in their unsintered state, and sintered during application of a circumferential pressure to bond the ePTFE around and through the wall surfaces of the stent (22). The sintered ePTFE forms a substantially continuous, monolithic and integral encapsulation of the at least one stent. Upon radial expansion of the stent graft (10), the stent and the ePTFE node-fibril microstructure radially deform. Radial deformation of the ePTFE encapsulation results in nodal elongation in the axis of radial expansion. After radial expansion of the stent-graft (10), a substantial bonded area remains intact and maintains the encapsulation of the stent in vivo.

Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: A "laser tape measure" for measuring distance which includes a transmitter such as a laser diode (43) which transmits a sequence of electromagnetic pulses in response to a transmit timing signal. A receiver samples reflections from objects within the field of the sequence of visible electromagnetic pulses with controlled timing, in response to a receive timing signal (42). The receiver generates a sample signal in response to the samples which indicates distance to the object causing the reflections. The timing circuit supplies the transmit timing signal to the transmitter and supplies the receive timing signal to the receiver. The receive timing signal causes the receiver to sample (50) the reflection such that the time between transmission of pulses in the sequence in sampling by the receiver sweeps over a range of delays.

Patent CA-2242829-A1 (CA)
Title: Air heating system
Inventor: MENASSA CHERIF
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1998-07-10
Abstract: An air heating system includes a duct containing an electric heating coil and a thermistor which is part of an electronic thermostat for controlling the heating coil. The thermistor is so located as to be directly exposed to heat radiated by the heating coil. The thermistor, in effect, acts as an airflow sensor so that the heating coil will gradually cool down and eventually shut off according to the air velocity in the duct. Heating is restored automatically once airflow in the duct has sufficiently cooled down the thermistor. Thus, the thermistor acts as an airflow sensor to modulate the heating capacity according to the quantity of air flowing through the duct.  The heating system can be used in a fresh air intake for a central air furnace or for a heat pump, for baseboard heating with a duct and fan or as a unit incorporated into a larger forced air heating system.
