Abstract: A retractor (112) and a surgical tool (120) are positioned within a cannula (100), and a dissection
cradle (116) of the retractor (112) is positioned at the distal end (122) of the cannula (100). The retractor (112) includes
a first portion (110) with an axis approximately parallel to the axis (101) of the cannula (100) and a second
portion (114) with an axis (115) at an angle (117) to the axis (101) of the cannula (100). The dissection cradle (116) is
located at the distal end of the second portion (114) of the retractor (112), and may include two
substantially parallel, spaced legs (141,142) with the retractor shaped in a loop between and in a
plane skewed relative to the axis of the legs (141,142), and with the loop directed away from the
surgical tool (120). Thus, in operation, when the surgeon locates a vein (118) and side branch of
interest, the surgeon extends the retractor (112) to cradle the vein (118) in the dissection cradle (116). Once
cradled, the retractor (112) may be fully extended to urge the vein (118) away from the axis of the
cannula (100) isolate the side branch for exposure to the surgical tool (120). In another embodiment,
the cannula includes a sheath which encases the curved, resilient retractor at a first
position to retain the retractor in substantially straight orientation, and which encases the
retractor at a second position that allows the retractor to extend at an angle relative to the
axis of the cannula.

IPC: H01L29/08
Filed: 1999-08-11
Abstract: A shallow well MOSFET, including an epitaxial layer is subjected to a blanket implant
of impurities, so as to form a very shallow well region that defines a PN junction with the
epitaxial layer. A field oxide layer is selectively formed on a portion of the shallow well region,
and a gate insulator layer is formed on the exposed portion of the shallow well region
contiguous with the field insulator layer. A polycrystalline silicon spacer-gate layer is non-selectively
deposited on the field insulator layer and the gate insulator layer, forming a multiple
thickness implant mask. The structure is subjected to one or more high energy impurity
implants, to overdose and convert a portion of the shallow well region to the conductivity of
the epitaxial layer. This extends the PN junction up to the surface of the well region beneath the
gate insulator layer, to define the length of the channel between the side edge of the field oxide
layer and the extended PN junction. A polysilicon planarization layer is then non-selectively
formed on the spacer layer, followed by a planarization etch, to define the thickness of the gate
layer. The field insulator layer is then stripped, and source and drain regions are formed.

Abstract: A digital camera includes a CCD imager mounted at a front with a primary color
filter. An optimal shutter speed is calculated based on a camera signal outputted from the
CCD imager upon a pre-exposure. Where a calculated optimal shutter speed is low, a
timing generator drives the CCD imager by a pixel-mixing scheme. Charges are first read
out of part of light receiving element and transferred in a vertical direction. When the
charges are transferred by a predetermined distance, the remaining part of the light
receiving elements are read out. Due to this, the charges of a same color of color
components are mixed together. That is, a filtering process is effected within the CCD
imager to remove aliasing components.

Abstract: A folding hanger apparatus particularly useful in luggage has two central portions which are hinged together a pivot between an open position and a closed position, and a hook portion having a hinged connection to one of the central portions. Clothing placed upon the hanger can be hung in an unfolded condition when the hanger is in the open position, and the hanger can be folded to the closed position while clothing is hanging thereon so that the clothing can be hung in a vertically folded position within a confined container such as luggage. The hook pivots to a position pressed against the clothing to prevent the clothing from sliding off the folded hanger. When the hanger is in the unfolded position, the hook portion can be pivoted to an extended position to be used to hang the hanger from a conventional closet rod. A pant loop is provided to permit pants and other garments to be suspended from the bottom of the hanger. The pant loop is movable from side to side to permit the loaded hanger to balance when in the unfolded position, and to permit the hanger to pivot to the folded position. A useful trolley system within a luggage case permits the hanger to be temporarily secured in the folded position within the luggage case. <IMAGE>
