  • Patent number: 11203001
    Abstract: Magnetic stir bar having at least one permanent magnet to spin the magnetic stir bar when the magnetic stir bar is subjected to a rotating magnetic field. The magnetic stir bar has a chamber to store a product within the magnetic stir bar. The magnetic stir bar has a closed configuration in which the chamber is closed and an open configuration in which the chamber is open. The magnetic stir bar automatically reconfigures itself from the closed configuration to the open configuration when said magnetic stir bar is spun at or above a threshold rotational speed.

  • Publication number: 20090256335
    Abstract: An interior trim part with an airbag device has an airbag module (1) with a pot-shaped housing (11) for accommodating an airbag (12) which is attached at the protruding end of a firing passage (24) to a dimensionally stable support (2). An opening section (23) for the deployment of the airbag is predetermined in the support (2) by means of tear lines (21) and/or hinge lines. The problem arises of preventing, by means of a simple measure, the opening section (23) from tearing off during the deployment of the airbag (12). For this purpose, it is proposed that a first section (41) of a retaining band (4) is attached to the opening section (23), said retaining band running within the firing passage (24) as far as the base of the airbag module (1) and being fastened there.

  • Patent number: 6716764
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of forming contacts and metal lands onto a semiconductor structure at the first level of metallization (M0). The initial structure is a silicon substrate having diffusion regions formed therein and a plurality of gate conductor stacks formed thereon. The structure is passivated by an insulating layer. Contact holes of a first type are etched in the insulating layer to expose some diffusion regions, then filled with doped polysilicon to form conductive studs substantially coplanar with the insulating layer surface. A first mask (M0) is formed at the surface of the structure to expose M0 land recess locations including above said studs. The masked structure is anisotropically dry etched to create M0 land recesses. Next, the M0 mask is removed. A second mask (CS) is formed at the surface of the structure to expose desired contact hole locations of a second type.
