  • Publication number: 20250143384
    Abstract: The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. Accordingly, certain aspects of the present invention are directed to providing filter underwear (also known as underpants) that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel that is removable from the underwear. Certain embodiments contemplate an odor control underwear being an underwear system that generally includes an underwear comprising a pocket that is fit to accommodate a removable activated carbon adsorbent sleeve. Accordingly, after at least one use (i.e., a time of wearing the underwear system), the adsorbent sleeve can be removed from the accommodating pocket, and therefore the underwear, whereby the adsorbent sleeve can be washed, dried, and reinserted in the accommodating pocket for another underwear use.

  • Patent number: 12213538
    Abstract: The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. One solution is to wear a filter underwear that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel. The activated carbon center panel is attached to an elastic waistband at the underwear back and where the activated carbon center panel traverses between two leg openings to the waistband at the underwear front. The center panel is constructed with a five-ply activated carbon fabric that is sandwiched between cotton fabric, which is sandwiched between bamboo fabric. The five-ply center panel is greater than 1 mm thick to provide filtering capabilities to sufficiently reduce the odor of flatulence to an acceptable level that is not readily detected by a person close by.

  • Patent number: 9691751
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) includes etching a trench in a semiconductor substrate having an aspect ratio (AR) ?5 and a trench depth ?10 ?m. A dielectric liner is formed along the walls of the trench to form a dielectric lined trench. In-situ doped polysilicon is deposited into the trench to form a dielectric lined polysilicon filled trench having a doped polysilicon filler therein. The doped polysilicon filler after completion of fabricating the IC is essentially polysilicon void-free and has a 25° C. sheet resistance ?100 ohms/sq. The method can include etching an opening at a bottom of the dielectric liner before depositing the polysilicon to provide ohmic contact to the semiconductor substrate.
