Abstract: A passive horn integrally formed by using liquid silicone rubber, includes a first outer casing, a second outer casing, an inner casing and an iron piece. The first outer casing includes a sealing ring, a folding ring and a vibrating membrane, and the sealing ring, the folding ring and the vibrating membrane are integrally injection molded into the first outer casing. A groove is disposed in the second outer casing, and the first outer casing is disposed in the groove. The back surface of the vibrating membrane is provided with a casing groove, which is sequentially embedded with the inner casing and the iron piece. A preparation method of a passive horn integrally formed by using liquid silicone rubber, under the condition of integrated injection molding, may improve the yield rate, ensure product quality, save assembly time and labor cost, and improve production efficiency.

Abstract: A method of forming a structure on a substrate includes forming an adhesion layer on a substrate. The method further includes forming a tungsten containing layer in-situ with the adhesion layer. The tungsten containing layer is formed by a one-time soak process including soaking the substrate once, and only once, in a first gas, purging the first gas, and soaking the substrate once, and only once, in a second gas. The method further includes removing the tungsten containing layer from the adhesion layer.

Abstract: A hydrogen energy assisted vehicle, comprising a central control system, a hydrogen fuel cell system, a power control system, and a lithium battery pack. The central control system controls the hydrogen fuel cell system and the power control system to work, and receives feedback information of the hydrogen fuel cell system and the power control system. The hydrogen fuel cell system generates electricity to supply power to the central control system, the power control system and the lithium battery pack. The power control system controls the driving speed. The lithium battery pack supplies power to the central control system and the power control system.

Abstract: A reconfigurable device includes a first insulating layer, a second insulating layer, and a nanoscale quasi one- or zero-dimensional electron gas region disposed at an interface between the first and second insulating layers. The device is reconfigurable by applying an external electrical field to the electron gas, thereby changing the conductivity of the electron gas region. A method for forming and erasing nanoscale-conducting structures employs tools, such as the tip of a conducting atomic force microscope (AFM), to form local electric fields. The method allows both isolated and continuous conducting features to be formed with a length well below 5 nm.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to semiconductor wafer technology and, more particularly, to the use of conformal grounding for active charge screening on wafers during wafer processing and metrology. A first aspect of the invention provides a method of reducing an accumulated surface charge on a semiconductor wafer, the method comprising: grounding a layer of conductive material adjacent a substrate of the wafer; and allowing a mirrored charge substantially equal in magnitude and opposite in sign to the accumulated surface charge to be induced along the conductive material.
