Title: Stackable non-stick coverslip
Inventor: RICHARDS WILLIAM L
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 2000-11-20
Abstract: A stackable non-stick coverslip is disclosed and includes a glass plate in combination with a protuberance on the upper surface thereof and/or an adhesive on the bottom surface thereof.

Title: Electrochemical electrode for fuel cell
Inventor: TSAI TSEPIN
IPC: H01M4/96
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: An electrochemical cathode includes a porous metal foam substrate, formed with a network of interconnected pores. An active layer and a hydrophobic microporous gas diffusion layer are both disposed on one or more surfaces of the metal foam substrate. The metal foam substrate serves as the current collector of the cathode. The microporous layer is a plastic material such as a fluoropolymer (i.e., PTFE). The cathode also includes a particulate microstructure reinforced by relatively strong bonding provided by sintering a polymeric binder within the three-dimensional interconnected porosity of the metal foam substrate. The reactive layers are preferably fabricated from the same material as binder. This advantageously enables a single roll pressing operation to simultaneously impregnate the binder into the substrate and form the reactive layers thereon.
Patent CA-2386571-A1 (CA)
Title: Vibrator motor
Inventor: HABBEN RICK L
IPC: B26B19/38
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A vibrator motor has a stationary piece and a moving piece hinged at one end. The moving piece does not generate substantial internal spring forces under the influence of an electromagnetic field, because it does not have a tail bracket. Other parts of conventional motors are also eliminated, so the motor is easier and less expensive to manufacture. In addition, the motor can be assembled and tuned before installation, which increases the ability to automate assembly.

Title: Procedes de fabrication pendeo-epitaxiale de couches de semiconducteurs au nitrure de gallium sur des colonnes fragiles, et structures de semiconducteurs au nitrure de gallium fabriquees selon ces procedes
Inventor: GEHRKE THOMAS
IPC: H01L21/205
Filed: 2000-12-13
Abstract: Selon la présente invention, on provoque la croissance par pendéo-épitaxie d'une couche de nitrure de gallium sur des colonnes fragiles formées sur un substrat, qui sont configurées pour craquer en raison d'une différence de coefficient d'expansion thermique entre le substrat et la couche de nitrure de gallium présente sur les colonnes fragiles. En conséquence, lors du refroidissement, au moins quelques-unes des colonnes fragiles craquent, permettant de la sorte de réduire les contraintes s'exerçant sur la couche de semiconducteur au nitrure de gallium. Le procédé de l'invention permet de cette manière d'obtenir des couches de semiconducteur au nitrure de gallium présentant une faible densité de défauts. En outre, les colonnes fragiles permettent de séparer avec une relative facilité la couche de semiconducteur au nitrure de gallium du substrat afin d'obtenir une couche de nitrure de gallium libre. On forme les colonnes fragiles en créant sur le substrat un réseau de colonnes séparées en quinconce. En plaçant les colonnes en quinconce, on facilite leur rupture ultérieure en comparaison avec de longues colonnes non placées en quinconce. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les colonnes peuvent présenter un rapport hauteur-largeur supérieur à 0,5, de façon que ces colonnes relativement étroites craquent plus facilement lors du refroidissement. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, les colonnes possèdent de préférence une largeur inférieure à un micron, et encore de préférence, inférieure à un demi-micron, quelle que soit leur hauteur, afin de faciliter le craquement. Dans encore un autre mode de réalisation, on forme dans les colonnes une région d'affaiblissement de colonne adjacente au substrat. On peut, en particulier, former une région enterrée dans le substrat et graver ensuite sélectivement le substrat afin de définir la pluralité de colonnes fragiles comprenant les régions d'affaiblissement de colonne dans lesquelles se trouvent la région enterrée. La région enterrée peut comprendre des ions implantés, de préférence des ions hydrogène, qui forment à l'intérieur des colonnes des bulles d'hydrogène capables de briser les colonnes au refroidissement.

Abstract: A male sexual impotence treatment apparatus comprises an operable restriction device (56) implanted in a patient and engaging the penile tissue (58) or the prolongation thereof to form a restrictable blood flow passageway through which blood flow leaves the penis. The restriction device is operable by an implanted operation device (60) to change the restriction of the blood flow passageway. A control device (62 and 64) is provided for controlling a source of energy, which may or may not be implanted, from outside the patient's body, to release energy for use in connection with the operation of the restriction device, i.e. to power the operation device. The patient uses the control device to restrict the blood flow leaving the penis to achieve erection.
