Abstract: In one form, a process of manufacturing an avalanche photodiode includes forming an insulating layer over an active region of a semiconductor substrate. A shallow terminal of the avalanche photodiode is defined using a first patterned mask. A first dopant is implanted through the first patterned mask and the insulating layer to form the shallow terminal. The first patterned mask is removed. A deep terminal of the avalanche photodiode is defined using second patterned mask. A second dopant is implanted through the second patterned mask and insulating layer to form the deep terminal of the avalanche photodiode. A respective terminal of at least one of the shallow terminal and the deep terminal is defined using a respective patterned mask that forms at least two regions that are spatially separated from each other with no implanted structure located in a space therebetween.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an avalanche photodiode comprising a substrate having an active area. A first dopant implant in the active area forms one of an anode and the cathode of the avalanche photodiode. A second dopant implant in the active area forming the other one of the anode and the cathode of the avalanche photodiode, wherein at least one of the first and second dopant implants defines a discontinuous formation having at least one interruption.

Abstract: Scent infused nasal cannulas, scent infused nasal cannula assemblies, methods of providing scents to subjects, and methods of fabricating scent infused nasal cannulas. The scent infused nasal cannulas and scent infused nasal cannula assemblies include a tubular body, a pair of narine projections, and fluid supply tubes. The tubular body and the pair of narine projections are formed from a scent infused polymer. The methods of providing scents to subjects include attaching a scent infused nasal cannula to a subject and delivering a fluid from a fluid source to the subject during the emission period of the scent infused polymer such that the scent is detectable therefrom. The methods of fabricating scent infused nasal cannulas include providing a scent infused nose piece and attaching fluid supply tubes to the nose piece and to a fluid source.

Abstract: Songs titles and song artists or other content received on an HD-radio are cross-referenced to one or more geographic locations where they were heard on the radio by identifying a song title or artist in the HD radio data stream and instructing a global positioning system navigation unit to contemporaneously determine its location. The determined location and song title and/or artist are cross-referenced to each other in a list or database. A touch-sensitive display device is configured to display the location or portion of a route where a listened-to song was heard. Song titles and/or artists can be determined by tactile selection of portions of a route displayed on the map.

Abstract: An adsorption vessel comprising a packed bed region of adsorbent particles contiguously arranged, comprising a perforated adsorbent particles, a gas separation process using the perforated adsorbent particles, and methods for making the perforated adsorbent particles. The perforated adsorbent particles each comprise an adsorbent material where the perforated adsorbent particles each have at least 10 channels extending through the particle. The equivalent diameter of the channels may range from 0.05 mm to 1.5 mm, and the void fraction of the channels may range from 0.05 to 0.5.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an interior zone. A solenoid mounting section is provided on the housing. The solenoid mounting section includes a shift lever opening that extends from the outer surface through the inner surface. A solenoid tower is mounted to the housing. The solenoid tower extends from a first end detachably coupled to the solenoid mounting section to a second end configured to receive a solenoid. The first end includes an opening that registers with the shift lever opening. At least one of the solenoid mounting section and the solenoid tower includes a seal.

Abstract: A method, device and system are provided for automated updating of message recipients designated for a reply message based on a declaration or notification in a body of the message. Once a reply message is initiated at a first device and an initial recipient set defined for the reply message based on the participants of a previous message of the thread, a declaration or instruction may be inserted in the message body identifying a change to be made to the initial recipient set. In response to a trigger detected at the device, any such declarations are identified and a determination is made whether the current recipient set is consistent with them. If not, changes are made to the current recipient set to render it consistent.
