Abstract: A nonvolatile memory cell is formed in an embedded P-well without the necessity of including an overlaying control gate. As a result, normal logic process technology may be utilized to form the nonvolatile memory cell. Through the use of substrate hot electron injection and the formation of a lateral bipolar transistor whose emitter acts as a charge injector, programming efficiency is improved and the necessary programming voltages and currents can be reduced from the relatively high voltages and currents used in other devices.

Abstract: An intraocular lens implantable in an eye includes an
optic for placement in the capsular bag of the eye and for
directing light toward the retina of the eye. The optic has
a central optical axis, an anterior face, an opposing
posterior face and a peripheral edge between the faces. The
peripheral edge has one or more curved or angled surfaces
that reduce glare within the IOL. For instance, a rounded
transition surface on the anterior side of the peripheral
edge diffuses the intensity of reflected light, or a
particular arrangement of straight edge surfaces refracts the
light so as not to reflect, or does not reflect at all. The
intersection of the peripheral edge and at least one of the
anterior face and the posterior face, preferably both of such
faces, forms a peripheral corner located at a discontinuity
between the peripheral edge and the intersecting face or
faces. The present IOLs inhibit cell growth from the eye in
front of or in back of the optic and reduce glare obtained in
the eye in which the IOL is located.

Abstract: In a MIMO system the bit error rate floor caused by time dispersion is
reduced by employing a joint minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer for
all of the respective transmit antenna - receive antenna pairings that are possible in
the MIMO system. The resulting joint equalization compensates not only for the
impact of the channel on the transmit antenna - receive antenna pairings but also
for the interference of the other transmit antennas on any given receive antenna.
The joint equalization outperforms simply replicating the prior art minimum mean
square error (MMSE) equalizer for each transmit antenna - receive antenna
pairings.

Abstract: A low impedance high capacitance double layer capacitor (also known as a 'super cap') is used to supply energy to charge a high voltage capacitor. Upon a command from a controller and/or an operator, the high voltage capacitor administers a shock to a patient in order to treat ventricular fibrillation. If a power source is used to augment the double layer capacitor in supplying energy to the high voltage capacitor, the power source charges the capacitor during a dwell time, which is a time between shocks or at start up. Once the decision is made to administer a shock, the high voltage capacitor is charged by the high voltage capacitor and the power source. By adjusting the energy stored in the high voltage capacitor through a voltage limiting device such as a switch mode converter current source, the draw on the power source can be reduced while allowing for a reduced dwell time without affecting the performance of the defibrillator. The use of a double layer capacitor can be used to supply energy to charge a high voltage capacitor without the power supply, and is useful in external and internal defibrillators, and can be used in leadless paddles to allow the operator the greatest freedom of movement.
