Title: Reconfigurable tunnel field-effect transistors
Inventor: MOSELUND KIRSTEN EMILIE
IPC: H01L29/73
Filed: 2013-09-30
Abstract: A tunneling field effect transistor device 1 has first and second semiconductor contact regions 2a, 2b; separated by a semiconductor channel region 3. The device includes a channel gate 4 overlying the channel region 3, and first and second doping gates 5a, 5b; overlying the first and second contact regions respectively. The arrangement is such that application of a positive voltage level at the first doping gate 2a, and a negative voltage level at the second doping gate 2b, produces a TFET with an n-type first contact region and a p-type second contact region, and reversing the voltage levels at the doping gates produces a TFET with a p-type first contact region and an n-type second contact region, whereby the device is adapted for dynamically-reconfigurable bidirectional operation by electrostatic doping. Such TFET devices may be used to implement pass gates such as the access transistors in SRAM cells.

Title: Tumor treatment with free radical lifetimes enhanced by persistant low strength magnetic field
Inventor: SANDSTROM ROBERT E
IPC: A61N7/00
Filed: 2013-10-25
Abstract: In the treatment of a tumor (126) with radiation therapy (122) is enhanced by a weak magnetic field (130), the field strength time sequence of exposure and shape and contour of the magnetic field are varied to achieve desired results. In one separate aspect, exposure to a magnetic field (130) is continued after exposure to a free radical-creating therapy is ceased or diminished, thereby increasing the lifetimes of free radicals that have already been created. In another preferred embodiment a magnetic field (13) is strategically placed to avoid extending the lives of free radicals in tissue through which a free radical-creating beam must pass, to reach a tumor. This application discloses quantitative parameters for field strength and exposure time to create concentrations and reactivity of free radicals, including long-lived free radicals and discloses the use of shaped, contoured, and designed electromagnetic fields. A treatment planning station (200) is also disclosed.
