Abstract: Wrapper for cigarette manufacture includes transversely extending band regions applied by a printing technique, such as gravure printing. The band regions comprise starch, an anti-wrinkling agent such as 1,2 propylene glycol or glycerin, and optionally calcium carbonate. Any suitable printing technique can be used to apply the aqueous solution to the banded regions. The pattern of banded regions may be bands, stripes, two-dimensional arrays, undulated regions, and the like along and/or around the tobacco rod. The pattern can be applied in one or more layers. The pattern may be configured so that when a smoking article is placed on a substrate, at least two longitudinal locations along the length of the tobacco rod have film-forming compound located only on sides of the smoking article not in contact with the substrate.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a patterned dielectric layer, which includes a first pattern of openings, over a substrate and implanting a first n-type dopant into the substrate through the patterned dielectric layer to form a first doped region. The method continues with forming a patterned photoresist layer overlying the patterned dielectric layer, which includes a second pattern of openings and implanting a second n-type dopant into the substrate through the patterned photoresist layer and patterned dielectric layer to form a second doped region. The patterned photoresist layer and patterned dielectric layer are removed. An epitaxial layer is grown on the substrate and the first doped region and second doped region are driven into said epitaxial layer to form respective first and second n-type buried layers, then active devices are formed in the epitaxial layer.

Abstract: A cigarette and cigarette paper have a plurality of multilayer bands formed by printing a highly viscous aqueous film-forming composition. After heating the composition to lower its viscosity, the bands are applied to the cigarette paper by gravure printing the composition. The composition is quenched and gelatinized by contact with the cool cigarette paper reducing absorption of water by the paper and reducing wrinkling, cockling, and waviness. Multiple gravure printed layers may be used to form the bands.

Abstract: A data simulator receives a set of directives specified in a file and creates one or more datastreams from which a data structure may be built as specified by the directives. The directives may specify configuration settings, constants, changing fields, values and probabilities.
