Abstract: Discloses are a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor comprising a channel consisting of silicon fins and a silicon body, in which the silicon fins have an orientation different from the silicon body, as well as a transistor structure manufactured thereby.

Abstract: A bumper system having a bumper running transverse to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle and at least one connecting element mounted thereon for the purpose of attaching the bumper to a vehicle, in particular to a longitudinal beam of a passenger car. The connecting element is a multi-chamber extruded section of metal with longitudinal axis running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The connecting element is in the form of a safety element which, under impact, absorbs impact energy by compressive deformation. For the purpose of connecting a towing device, an attachment member is provided that is situated in one of the hollow chambers of the connecting element.

Abstract: The invention concerns a control and/or monitoring device comprising pairs (P, P?) of interactive members (1, 2; 1?, 2?) each of which includes an electronic label (1, 1?) identified by a specific identification code (KID1, KID1?) communicating with said label (1, 1?). For each pair (P) of interactive members, the inventive device also comprises a state encoder at least partially borne by the label (1), said encoder producing a state signal which is accessible to the reader (2) and representing a logic or analog state affecting the label (1) or a relationship between the label (1) and the reader (2).
