Abstract: A substantially twist-free, crimped, continuous, multifilament yarn containing randomly-spaced, tightly entangled nubs and the process and apparatus used for making such yarns is disclosed. The nub yarn is made by feeding a substantially entanglement-free multifilament crimped continuous yarn through a forwarding jet, through an aspirating entanglement jet where nubs are formed and passing the yarn through a loop guide. The nubs of the yarn are less than one inch in length and the yarn is useful in textile and carpet end uses.

Abstract: In a Schottky field effect MESFET transistor including a semiconductor substrate and source, gate and drain electrodes, the electrical resistance of the gate is reduced to substantially zero by implementing the gate electrode as a sheet of metallization which bypasses a portion of the source electrode and which is spaced from the source electrode by a layer of air or the like. The MESFET transistor may be fabricated by providing drain and source electrodes on a semiconductor substrate with the electrodes situated side-by-side. Photoresist is applied over at least the source electrode while leaving exposed (a) a first portion of the substrate surface between the source and drain electrodes and (b) a second portion of the substrate surface situated on an opposite side of the source electrode and which is used as a bonding pad location. Gate metallization is then formed over the photoresist and in contact with the first and second areas of the substrate surface.

Abstract: A microwave frequency synthesizer which simultaneously provides increased frequency coverage, reduced channel spacings and improved settling times with a single phase-locked-loop. A VCO and a parametric divider enables a wide frequency coverage to be used in a phase-locked-loop. The fast hopping capability is primarily derived from the wide loop bandwidth which, in turns, is permitted by using a high reference frequency. The small channel spacings are created by using a 90.degree. phase shifter installed in the feedback path of the phase-locked-loop. The 90.degree. phase shifter permits channel spacings as small as 1/4 the reference frequency value.
