Abstract: An electronic device. The electronic device includes a first electrode and a coating layer. The electronic device is fabricated on a substrate; the substrate has a cavity created in a top surface of the substrate; and the first electrode is electrically coupled to the substrate. The coating layer coats at least part of a substrate surface in the cavity, and the presence of the coating layer results in a mitigation of at least one parasitic leakage path between the first electrode and an additional electrode fabricated on the substrate.

Abstract: A multiport vector network analyzer calibration employs measurements of an asymmetric reciprocal device to determine a value of a defining parameter of a calibration standard in a set of calibration standards. A method of determining a parameter value determines and reports the parameter value. A method of compensating a calibration determines the parameter value and employs the determined parameter value to optimize a set of error coefficients of an error model of the multiport vector network analyzer. A multiport vector network analyzer that includes a controller, a test set, and computer program executed by the controller, compensates a calibration using the determined parameter value and a set of optimized error coefficients. A calibration compensation system that includes a multiport vector network analyzer, a computer, and a computer program executed by the computer, determines and reports the parameter value.

Abstract: High port-to-port RF isolation for a test socket in a production RF test environment is achieved by establishing a coaxial-type connection between the test socket and the device under test (DUT). This coaxial-type connection results by at least partially surrounding each port of the DUT with a ground seal connected to RF ground connection. In one embodiment, the ground seal is a metallic base plate of the test socket which surrounds the RF connection to the DUT.

Abstract: An interface model of a ground-signal-ground (“GSG”) probe is included when simulating an electronic circuit that develops unbalanced ground currents. The interface model of the GSG probe is used to obtain simulated results that more closely match data measured from the electronic device when using the GSG probe.

Abstract: Material that is to be used in wrapping medical items or in making gowns, drapes, and the like is treated with silicone to make it liquid repellent. The material, after being sterilized by an oxidizing plasma process, still retains its repellency.

Abstract: An adhesive surgical dressing with an antimicrobial agent in the adhesive is disclosed. The antimicrobial agent is a salt of polyhexamethylene biguanide and is applied to the surface of the adhesive to a depth of not more than 50% of the thickness of the adhesive.
