Title: Thin film transistor and active matrix display
Inventor: NICHOLAS GARETH
IPC: G02F1/1368
Filed: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A thin film transistor is formed in a semi-conductor island 1501 on an insulating substrate. The transistor comprises heavily doped source 1502 and drain 1504 regions of first conductivity type and a channel of a second conductivity type, more lightly doped than the source and drain regions. The channel is overlapped by one or more insulated gate electrodes 1506 and is provided with isolation diodes formed from pn-junctions between regions 1510 of the second conductivity type of the salve doping concentration as the channel, and the source or drain. The lightly doped regions 1510 of the diodes extend away from the channel by less than the length of the adjacent source or drain and are bounded by the channel, the source or drain, and an edge of the island 1501. The diodes isolate the channel from the edge of the island, eliminating early turn-on owing to sub-threshold leakage current caused by fixed charge in the surrounding insulator causing the channel to invert at reduced gate voltage.

Title: Ac-fed flame monitors
IPC: F23N5/12
Filed: 1976-03-12
Abstract: 1497362 Burner controls LGZ LANDIS & GYR ZUG AG 12 March 1976 [20 March 1975] 10013/76 Heading F4T An A.C.-fed flame monitor comprises a flame relay FR the energizing coil of which is connected in series with a resistor R 1 , and an electronic switch Th, and in parallel with a capacitor C 1 , a control circuit St to control switch Th in dependence on the signal of a flame sensor F, the ON time of switch Th being shorter than the OFF time, and a cut-out element Si connected in series with switch Th so that it cuts out when the ON time of switch Th increases. Switch Th may be a thyristor, flame sensor F may be an ionization sensor, or a series arrangement of a light sensor with a diode, and cut-out Si may be a non-interchangeable fuse, or an electronic, electro-thermal, or electro-magnetic safety device. In operation.-When no flame is available, capacitor C 2  is discharged, and a threshold switch Sw is non-conducting. If a flame is present, an ionization current flows during positive half-waves from supply line Ph through resistor R 2 , capacitor C 2 , resistors R 3 , R 4 , flame sensor F, the ionization part of the flame, to supply terminal MP, and capacitor C 2  is charged step-wise. When the voltage corresponds to the voltage at capacitor C 2  and reaches the voltage of threshold switch Sw, the latter is triggered and capacitor C 2  discharges through resistors R 2 , R 5 , and transistor T 1 , until the charge is below the holding current of switch Sw, which then triggers into the non-conducting state. A glow lamp G 1  limits the voltage at the connection between resistors R 3 , R 4 , to a constant value, to provide a charging time t 1  which is independent of the supply voltage. When a flame is present, circuit St transmits pulses to thyristor Th and puts the latter into the conducting state during ON time, so that flame relay FR is pulled-in and capacitor C 1  is charged. During OFF time capacitor C 1  supplies the energizing coil of flame relay FR.

Abstract: 769,258. Laminated materials. GOODRICH CO., B. F. April 6, 1955 [April 9, 1954], No. 10057/55. Class 140. [Also in Group XXXIV] To reduce the formation and growth of cracks in the grooves 19 of a tyre tread 13, at least the bottoms of the grooves 19 are surfaced by a rubber layer 22 comprising at least 60 per cent butyl rubber, adhered to and covering, the different rubber (natural or GR-S) comprising the tread.
