Abstract: Multiple degenerately-doped silicon layers are implemented within resonant structures to control multiple orders of temperature coefficients of frequency.

Abstract: A moveable micromachined member of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device includes an insulating layer disposed between first and second electrically conductive layers. First and second mechanical structures secure the moveable micromachined member to a substrate of the MEMS device and include respective first and second electrical interconnect layers coupled in series, with the first electrically conductive layer of the moveable micromachined member and each other, between first and second electrical terminals to enable conduction of a first joule-heating current from the first electrical terminal to the second electrical terminal through the first electrically conductive layer of the moveable micromachined member.

Abstract: A waterproof cover for casts and bandages on extremities is disclosed. The cover includes an elongated sleeve of transparent polyethylene having a thickness between about 0.001 and 0.006 inches and a length greater than its width. The sleeve has a face side and an obverse side and a distal end and a proximal end. It is hermetically sealed at its distal end thus forming a waterproof cover. A hook and loop fastener is used for affixing the cover on the extremity. A first strip of the hook and loop fastener is disposed on the proximal end of the face side of the sleeve, the first strip having an array of plastic hooks disposed thereon. The first strip extends substantially across the entire width of the face side and the hooks face outwardly from the sleeve. A second strip of loops is disposed on the proximal end of the obverse side. A covering of soft fleece is disposed on the face side.

Abstract: A capacitor sensor device for use in conjunction with a monitoring circuit system and call alarm system to perceive a patient movement employs a plurality of elongated electrical conductor devices positioned in horizontal parallel spaced relationship, an electrical insulating material forming an upper layer and lower layer over an about each electrical conductor device whereby the conductor devices are maintained in insulated parallel spaced relationship to each other, and a pair of electrical conductive connectors connected to alternate electrical conductor devices. The sensor device is constructed and arranged so as to be thin and flexible and formed in a selected configuration. In another embodiment, the capacitor sensor device can be used to activate a transmitter for a limited range paging system for a home application.
