Patent number: 8143087Abstract: A fragile layer is formed in a region at a depth of less than 1000 nm from one surface of a single crystal semiconductor substrate, and a first impurity semiconductor layer and a first electrode are formed at the one surface side. After bonding the first electrode and a supporting substrate, the single crystal semiconductor substrate is separated using the fragile layer or the vicinity as a separation plane, thereby forming a first single crystal semiconductor layer over the supporting substrate. An amorphous semiconductor layer is formed on the first single crystal semiconductor layer, and a second single crystal semiconductor layer is formed by heat treatment for solid phase growth of the amorphous semiconductor layer. A second impurity semiconductor layer having a conductivity type opposite to that of the first impurity semiconductor layer and a second electrode are formed over the second single crystal semiconductor layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumito Isaka, Sho Kato, Koji Dairiki

Patent number: 7525241Abstract: A multilayer ceramic component includes a stack containing ceramic layers and electrode layers interspersed among the ceramic layers. The electrode layers contain copper and define first and second internal electrodes. First and second external contacts are on different sides of the stack. The first and second external contacts contain copper and are substantially perpendicular to the ceramic layers and electrode layers. The first internal electrode is connected to the first external contact and the second internal electrode is connected to the second external contact. The first and second internal electrodes overlap each other at a plane intersecting the stack. In areas adjacent to boundaries between the first and second external contacts and the ceramic layers, the first and second external contacts are not oxidized and material making-up the ceramic layers is not diminished. A bonding strength of the external contacts to the stack exceeds 50N.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: April 28, 2009Assignee: Epcos AGInventors: Heinz Florian, Marion Ottlinger, Peter Sedlmaier

Patent number: 7023052Abstract: A semiconductor device having performance comparable with a MOSFET is provided. An active layer of the semiconductor device is formed by a crystalline silicon film crystallized by using a metal element for promoting crystallization, and further by carrying out a heat treatment in an atmosphere containing a halogen element to carry out gettering of the metal element. The active layer after this process is constituted by an aggregation of a plurality of needle-shaped or column-shaped crystals. A semiconductor device manufactured by using this crystalline structure has extremely high performance.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2001Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunpei Yamazaki, Hisashi Ohtani, Jun Koyama, Takeshi Fukunaga

Patent number: 7007940Abstract: A banknote store can remove banknotes individually from a stack by light air pressure extending over a substantial area of the banknote, the banknote then being transportable without needing to move the source of the reduced pressure. Banknotes are added individually by using reduced pressure to hold them against a transport belt before they are deposited on the stack.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Mars, IncorporatedInventors: Roberto Polidoro, Guillermo Garcia

Patent number: 6985263Abstract: Given an image with an unwanted feature, a collection of pixels (a defined region) entirely containing the unwanted feature is designated, and replacement data values for the defined region are generated, thereby healing the unwanted feature. A selected image region is healed by propagating values in a boundary region into replacement data values for the selected image region by iteratively applying a procedure or algorithm (e.g., iteratively applying one or more kernels), such that values in the boundary region are continuously put back into the iterative calculations. An example of such a function uses kernels to generate replacement data values having multiple orders of continuity at the boundary. Optionally, replacement data values for an image region to be healed are generated based on a difference between existing data values and texture data values, thereby introducing texture (e.g., pattern, noise) components to a resulting healed region in the image.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Todor G. Georgiev, Mark Hamburg, Jen-Chan Chien

Patent number: 6957107Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating with and monitoring the operation of a device implanted within a patient. A transceiver capable of being implanted within a patient provides a communication interface between an implanted medical device and a monitor external to the patient's body. The external monitor can communicate with a remote monitoring center over a communication network. The external monitor also provides control signals to the implanted device via the transceiver unit. The transceiver apparatus is capable of two-way communication between the implanted device and the external monitor. The transceiver apparatus is also capable of detecting actions performed by the implanted device and physiological signals directly from the patient's body. Thus, the transceiver apparatus provides circuitry for determining whether an implanted medical device is operating properly. The transceiver apparatus provides a way to remotely reprogram one or more implanted medical devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2002Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: CardioNet, Inc.Inventors: Bobby E.
