  • Patent number: 8186571
    Abstract: A cup sling is a carrier for a frusto-conical container that is a sleeve with straps for retaining and carrying the container. The sleeve defines an opening to receive the cup. The sleeve is cut in such a manner so that, when the top portion and the bottom portion of the sleeve are twisted in opposite directions, the center portion will form two loops, or straps, that will extend out to the sides of the container. These straps can be retained above the container to hold the container in a generally vertical position allowing the user to hang the container from a finger or hook. In addition, the user can tote the container in the cup sling while using the hand concurrently to hold or tote other items.

  • Publication number: 20050214974
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided which includes one or more device elements formed above a base substrate, a structure forming a sealed cavity above at least a portion of the one or more device elements, and one or more conductive devices formed above the sealed cavity. A method for fabrication of such an integrated circuit is also provided. An exemplary embodiment of the integrated circuit includes a surface acoustic wave device having a plurality of tracks each with a first interdigitated transducer configured to convert a receiving electric field energy into mechanical wave energy and a second interdigitated transducer configured to convert the mechanical wave energy into an output electric field energy. The SAW device also includes a conductor arranged above and spanning across at least two tracks of the plurality of tracks and coupled to the first interdigitated transducers of at least the two tracks.
