Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses directed at providing a tubular band with seamless lug integration for wearable devices. In aspects, the tubular band includes an extensible strap formed of interwoven fibers. The strap includes opposing outward-facing edges at opposing longitudinal ends. Each edge defines an opening within which a base section of a coupling device can reside. The coupling device further includes an attachment section, opposite the base section, which extends from the base section outwardly through the opening to engage a coupling connector of the wearable device. When the attachment section is connected to the coupling connector, the attachment section positions an end portion of the strap adjacent the opening to engage a surface of the wearable device. In this way, the strap can be coupled to a wearable device by positioning end portions of the strap against one or more surfaces of the wearable device, forming a seamless connection between the band and the wearable device.

Abstract: A pressure transducer comprising a flexible member made of amorphous quartz and a crystalline quartz sensor are coupled together without an adhesive material. Instead, the amorphous quartz and the crystalline quartz sensor are coupled together at the molecular level. In some embodiments, the crystalline quartz sensor remains in compression or tension during the entire operating range of the pressure transducer. In one embodiment, the crystalline quartz sensor is pre-stressed in either compression or tension when the pressure transducer is exposed to atmospheric pressure. In one embodiment, pressure transducer is located in pressure stabilizing system.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for performing rate limiting and/or sending fabricated acknowledgments and/or silently dropping a received packet based on logged packet information and rules list determination where for each packet from a set of one or more packets, packet information is logged in a data store by comparing the received packet with previously received packets. Determining if the received packet is part of an offending host attempting an attack on a secured network. Additionally, determining whether the packet is to be responded to or dropped based on determining the type of attack being detected and/or identified by the secured network.

Abstract: A data management system is disclosed that includes a database and one or more interfaces to allow access the database. The database stores data such as data describing a product. Vendors, such as manufacturers and representatives of the manufacturers, view and are able to enter and maintain the product information data. Buyers, such as wholesalers, distributors and retailers, may utilize the data in the database to provide information to customers about the products it sells. To provide the customers with the information, the data may be used to create catalogs or to provide the product information on-line, such as through the Internet.

Abstract: A planarity verification system for proper positioning of testing probes comprises a plurality of electrical leads configured for connection to testing probes, an indicator electrically coupled to each of the leads, and a power source. One of the power source terminals is electrically coupled to the leads through the indicators and the other terminal is electrically coupled to a metalized surface such as a wafer to bias the surface. Each electrical lead forms part of a completed current path between the power source terminals when a testing probe contacts a biased surface and directs current through an associated indicator to provide an indication.

Abstract: An isolation region is fabricated in a silicon substrate by first forming a silicon dioxide insulating layer on the substrate. A silicon nitride mask layer and an oxide layer are then deposited on the insulating layer. The oxide, mask and insulating layers and the substrate are etched to form a trench in the substrate. A channel stopper is implanted in substrate below the trench and the oxide layer is then stripped. Thereafter, the trench surface is oxidized to extend the insulating layer into the trench. Next, the trench is partially filled with polysilicon material, the surface of which is initially oxidized to extend the insulating layer over the trench. The mask layer is etched back to expose portions of the insulating layer adjacent the trench. The upper surface of the polysilicon material in the trench and portions of the substrate beneath exposed portions of the insulating layer are further oxidized to thicken the insulating layer over the trench.
