  • Patent number: 10086602
    Abstract: A pair of metallic beverage container bodies is sequentially decorated in a direct single file queue by a dry offset rotary metallic beverage container decorator. A container body has a common design element, a first unique design element in a first color, and a second unique design element in a second color on its outer surface. The first unique design element is located within a boundary of the second unique design element. A second container body has the common design element, a third unique design element in the first color, and a fourth unique design element in the second color on the outer surface. The third unique design element is unique relative to the first and second design elements. The third unique design element is located within a boundary of the fourth unique design element.

  • Publication number: 20070247888
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory cell and method for reading it are disclosed. In one embodiment, the non-volatile memory cell includes a fuse with a first terminal coupled to a first power supply voltage terminal, and a second terminal, a first transistor having a first current electrode coupled to the second terminal of the programmable fuse, a second current electrode, and a control electrode, and a second transistor having a first current electrode connected to the first power supply voltage terminal, a control electrode coupled to the control electrode of the first transistor, and a second current electrode coupled to the control electrode. By applying a read signal to the control electrode of the first transistor, the state of the cell (blown or unblown) is read.
