Abstract: In a modular tower building block system for containing
computing system devices, a power bus is incorporated
into the modular blocks of the building block system by
using a printed circuit board to carry the power bus in
each modular block. The printed circuit board is
mounted and positioned in each modular block to
electrically connect with a printed circuit board in a
next adjacent modular block when two modular blocks are
stacked on each other. Also, there are a plurality of
three-phase power buses on the printed circuit boards
and only one phase of each power bus is distributed
from each modular block. The printed circuit board is
precisely located in each modular block at a
predetermined position. Alignment pins and receivers
provide alignment between stacked modular blocks to
precisely position one modular block to the other
modular block. This also aligns electrical connectors
on the printed circuit boards of the stacked blocks so
that the connectors on the printed circuit boards from
two blocks mate when the two blocks are stacked.

Abstract: A transistor and method of construction are described that
comprises composite sidewall spacer bodies 20 and 22. Bodies 20
and 22 are formed using a silicon nitride layer 16 and a silicon
dioxide layer 18. Bodies 20 and 22 are disposed on opposite
sidewalls of a gate conductor body 14 which is separated from a
semiconductor substrate 10 by a gate insulator layer 12.
Sidewall bodies 20 and 22 provide the controllable and robust
characteristics of silicon nitride, but do not require the
formation of a thick silicon nitride layer which might result in
the migration of unwanted impurities into the substrate 10 from
the conductor body 14.

Abstract: A jet injector, and a method, for injecting fluid medicament into a
patient in a two-stage process. During the first stage fluid is expelled from
the injector under relatively high pressure, to create a hole through the skin of
the patient. During the second stage, fluid is infused through the hole into
the patient at a much lower pressure, and for a much longer period of time.
The jet injector includes a syringe unit, and a drive mechanism which is
selectively connectable with the syringe unit. Specifically, the drive
mechanism includes two springs which are positioned to urge against a push
rod as they elongate. When the drive mechanism is engaged with the
syringe unit, the push rod is positioned longitudinally co-linear with a plunger
in the chamber. When the springs are released, they push the push rod
which, in turn, pushes the plunger, causing the fluid to be expelled through an
injection tube connected to the chamber. The syringe unit also includes a
suction compartment for pulling the skin against a syringe tip at the end of the
injection tube. To prepare the injector, the chamber of the syringe unit is
filled with a fluid medicament, the drive mechanism is cocked, and the syringe
unit is engaged with the drive mechanism. A vacuum source is then
connected in fluid communication with the suction compartment. The syringe
tip and the opening to the suction compartment are then pressed against the
skin, and the injector is activated.

Selon l'invention, le dos de la plaquette (1) présente au moins une protubérance (3) servant d'indicateur du sens d'énergie pour le soudage à la plaque de base (2). Cette conception de plaquette permet, grâce aux protubérances, de fixer à la plaque de base également les plaquettes filigranes ayant un puissant effet tridimensionnel par une soudure sûre et ce, sans surchauffer la plaquette et donc sans l'endommager. Cette liaison sûre empêche la plaquette de se décrocher du couvercle d'un airbag en cas de choc. Une plaquette qui se décroche risque, en effet, de blesser les passagers.
