  • Patent number: 11942537
    Abstract: A method and vertical FET device fabricated in GaN or other suitable material. The device has a selective area implant region comprising an activated impurity configured from a bottom portion of a recessed regions, and substantially free from ion implant damage by using an annealing process. A p-type gate region is configured from the selective area implant region, and each of the recessed regions is characterized by a depth configured to physically separate an n+ type source region and the p-type gate region such that a low reverse leakage gate-source p-n junction is achieved. An extended drain region is configured from a portion of an n? type GaN region underlying the recessed regions. An n+ GaN region is formed by epitaxial growth directly overlying the backside region of the GaN substrate and a backside drain contact region configured from the n+ type GaN region overlying the backside region.

  • Patent number: 11013672
    Abstract: Oral care compositions containing a stannous salt and sodium tripolyphosphate are provided where stannous tripolyphosphate ionic intermediates comprise less than about 1% of the compositions. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate, a methylvinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer and/or a silica oral polishing agent may be added for further efficacy. In a single phase blend, the oral care composition may be effectively limited to comprise less than about 10% water. In a dual-phase blend, a mixture having the stannous salt in a first phase and the sodium tripolyphosphate in a second phase may be generated from a dual chamber storage tube (with each phase provided from a separate chamber) immediately prior to dental care usage.

  • Patent number: 9271565
    Abstract: Disclosed are compositions suitable for use with an oral care implement. The compositions provide improved sensory appeal, and comparable reduction in volatile sulfur compounds and antibacterial activity to advanced formula toothpaste formulations. The compositions include a high percentage of antibacterial agent and flavoring, when compared to conventional toothpastes, and some mouth washes formulations, such that only minor amounts of the composition can be delivered to the oral care implement to provide improved reduction in volatile sulfur compounds, antibacterial efficacy, and optionally a cooling sensation.

  • Patent number: 9242730
    Abstract: An aircraft cargo handling system has a pair of load restraining rail assemblies, each of which has a shaft assembly running substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The shaft assembly has a plurality of lock pawls, each of which comprises a body having a cylindrical pallet-engaging surface. The pallet engaging surfaces of the lock pawls have increasing included angles at stations moving toward the front of the aircraft (or vice versa). This enables the pallets to be locked in place sequentially by rotating the shall assembly a predetermined angular rotation each time a pallet is loaded. Unloading of the aircraft is carried out in the reverse order, by rotating the shaft assembly in the opposite direction in steps to unlock each pallet individually as the aircraft is unloaded.
