  • Publication number: 20080009693
    Abstract: Moisture buildup inside an alcohol monitor that is securely attached to a human subject is due to the inlet air from the subject's skin surface, which constantly emits water vapor in the form of insensible skin perspiration. As the warm moist air flows along the air flow path through decreasing temperatures within the alcohol monitor, moisture will be removed from the air through condensation. The present invention solves this condensation problem by first simplifying the air flow path, eliminating barriers that can trap water. Second, additional changes to the air flow path take advantage of gravity, allowing water to drain out of the alcohol monitor. Third, by better balancing the volume of air sample between the sample collection chamber and the fuel cell sample chamber, the total volume of air taken in is reduced, resulting in an overall reduction in the volume of potential moisture introduced into the alcohol monitor.

  • Publication number: 20070163013
    Abstract: A new and distinct nectarine tree variety, prunus persica var. ‘Sunectwentyone’ that possesses a relatively low chilling requirement of 250 hours at or below 7.2° C.; heavy production of relatively large (66 mm), very firm fruit that can be harvested about May 8-15 in Kern County, CA, (about 4 days after ‘April Glo’ nectarine (U.S. Plant. Pat. No. PP7305)). The nectarine fruit is bright red with bright yellow flesh that is moderately juicy, very firm, and tart-sweet with 12 brix. The plant has a relatively low tendency for split-pits, russeting, and thrips damage.

  • Publication number: 20070008668
    Abstract: An SOI integrated circuit includes ESD protection on an SOI chip. A first power domain and a second power domain are provided in the SOI chip. In one embodiment, a charge modulation network in the SOI chip between the first power domain and the second power domain mitigates accumulation of electrical charge in an electrically isolated region of the SOI chip. In another embodiment, an ESD protection device in the SOI chip electrically connects the first power domain and the second power domain via a low metal layer to provide a discharge path for accumulated charge.
