Patent number: 10434323Abstract: Described herein are magnetic neural stimulation systems for the treatment of neurological disorders. One variation of a magnetic neural stimulation system includes magnetic stimulators shaped as helical or ramped coils, where each turn of the coil has an acute turning angle of less than 90 degrees. Also described herein are magnetic neural stimulation systems that include an array of stimulators and one or more shielding components. The shielding components modulate the density profile of the induced eddy currents to increase stimulation to targeted neural tissue regions while decreasing stimulation to non-targeted neural regions. Other variations of magnetic stimulation systems include one or more stimulators and a shield in which some of the induced eddy currents in the shield may act to attenuate the magnetic field in certain regions of the shield.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: NeuroPrex Inc.Inventors: Hong-Tsz Pan, Zhaoyin Wu, Hsiu-Wen Huang

Patent number: 7323218Abstract: Methods of fabricating one-dimensional composite nanofiber on a template membrane with porous array by chemical or physical process are disclosed. The whole procedures are established under a base concept of “secondary template”. First of all, tubular first nanofibers are grown up in the pores of the template membrane. Next, by using the hollow first nanofibers as the secondary templates, second nanofibers are produced therein. Finally, the template membrane is removed to obtain composite nanofibers. Showing superior performance in weight energy density, current discharge efficiency and irreversible capacity, the composite nanofibers are applied to extensive scopes like thin-film battery, hydrogen storage, molecular sieving, biosensor and catalyst support in addition to applications in lithium batteries.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2003Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Jin-Ming Chen, Chien-Te Hsieh, Hsiu-Wen Huang, Yue-Hao Huang, Hung-Hsiao Lin, Mao-Huang Liu, Shih-Chieh Liao, Han-Chang Shih

Publication number: 20010026993Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication method is provided for the fabrication of an isolation structure including, a shallow-trench isolation (STI) structure in an integrated circuit. This method is characterized by the increase in the thickness of the adhesive layer over that of the prior art and also in the use of thermal oxidation process to form the STI structure. The thick adhesive layer can thus resist the stress from thermal expansion of the various component layers in the integrated circuit during heat treatment. Moreover, the resulting STI structure is not formed with recessed edge portions since the hydrofluoric (HF) enchant acts on the silicon dioxide plug in the STI structure with substantially the same etching irate as on the adhesive layer. Moreover, this method includes no chemical-mechanical polish (CMP) process so the problem of scratches on the surface of the silicon dioxide plug as seen in the case of the prior art is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2001Publication date: October 4, 2001Inventors: Jing-Horng Gau, Hsiu-Wen Huang

Patent number: 6187629Abstract: A method of fabricating a DRAM capacitor. A conductive layer and an amorphous silicon layer are formed on a substrate having a dielectric layer. The amorphous silicon layer and the conductive layer are etched to form a region of a capacitor to expose a portion of the dielectric layer. An opening with a profile having a wider upper portion and a narrower lower portion is formed within the conductive layer, and through the opening, the dielectric layer is then etched through to form a node contact window to expose the substrate. An amorphous silicon spacer is formed on the sidewall of conductive layer of the region of the capacitor and fills the node contact window. A selective HSG-Si, a dielectric layer and a polysilicon layer are formed to achieve the fabrication of the capacitor. The conductive layer, the amorphous silicon layer and the HSG-Si serve as a lower electrode of the capacitor and the polysilicon layer serves as an upper electrode of the capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: United Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Jing-Horng Gau, Hsiu-Wen Huang, Jhy-Jyi Sze
