Abstract: A comprehensive medication management system is disclosed. The comprehensive medication management system offers a number of compliance related services that may be offered to patients in to improve medication therapy compliance. The system identifies compliance barriers facing individual patents and recommends services designed to overcome those barriers. The system further provides feedback to patients to document their progress. The system proactively identifies patients who may benefit from compliance services and blocks their transactions until the services are explained. The point of sale block may be expanded to other classes of patients so that the transactions of other classes of patients blocked and other messages delivered or some other customized interactions carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to the deposition or transfer of material using a laser induced forward transfer process. More specifically, the invention relates to the transfer of material using a laser induced forward transfer process wherein the transfer process is facilitated or enabled by nanomaterials. Nanomaterials in the form of nanoparticles or nanofilms may be employed, optionally including a surface coating or self-assembled monolayer surface coating, making use of properties of the nanomaterials that allow the laser induced forward transfer process to be practiced at irradiation energies and temperatures lower than commonly used. The technique may be well suited for depositing organic layers.

Abstract: A compact article for oral care comprises a housing and a tooth brush section. The housing has a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, a front end, a rear end, and a cavity communicating with the first, second and third openings. The first opening is formed through the front end and a conventional tooth paste tube having a neck is inserted through the third opening into the cavity. The tooth paste tube can be squeezed through the second opening to allow a desired amount of the tooth paste to flow out of the neck. The tooth brush section has a base, a first extension, a second extension, a connecting rod and a brush. The first extension is protruded in a decremental step from the base to a forward direction, and the second extension is protruded in a decremental step from the base to a rearward direction opposed to the first extension.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the steps of forming a photoresist pattern on a metal layer and forming a wiring by etching a metal composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy with plasma including chlorine and eliminating said photoresist pattern while simultaneously eliminating residual chlorine on the wiring by adding alkyl ketone or alkyl ether in an oxygen plasma ash chamber. The present invention can provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which can eliminate residual chlorine and a photoresist pattern by adding alkyl ketone or alkyl ether so that wiring corrosion may be prevented.

Abstract: A method for depositing a passivation layer on a semiconductor structure having a high resistance value polysilicon layer formed thereon while maintaining the high resistance value thereof and comprises sequentially depositing a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, on a high resistance value polysilicon layer of a partially completed semiconductor structure to form a passivation layer thereover. The passivation layer including the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer is annealed with oxygen plasma in a chamber. The annealed passivation layer is then heated in the presence of a conditioning gas in the chamber to thereby maintaining the resistance of the high resistance value polysilicon layer.

Abstract: The invention provides improved orthopedic cast bandages and improved orthopedic casts which include one or more colors. The orthopedic cast bandages of the invention comprise an open mesh fabric tape and a hardenable liquid resin coated onto the fibrous tape. At least one coloring agent is visibly disposed on at least a portion of the fibrous tape. The coloring agent is stably retained by the fibrous tape in the presence of the hardenable liquid resin. Because the coloring agent is stably retained by the fibrous tape, the invention provides for colored orthopedic casting tapes which do not require the use of colored liquid resins. In addition, multiple colored, patterned orthopedic casts, not heretofore available, are provided by the invention.

Abstract: A high resistance load resistor in a static memory device and the method of fabricating such device is disclosed. The device is fabricated by depositing a first insulating oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate and depositing a first polysilicon layer on the first insulating oxide layer. The first polysilicon layer is etched to form a first polysilicon pad and a second polysilicon pad with the first polysilicon pad spaced apart from the second polysilicon pad. A second oxide layer is deposited on the first polysilicon layer and the first oxide layer. The second oxide layer is etched thereby shaping the second oxide island layer to be contiguously positioned on each of the first and second polysilicon pads and on the first oxide layer extending between the first and second polysilicon layers. The shaped second oxide island layer includes a sidewall in contact with the first oxide layer and extending from and in contact with each of the first and second polysilicon pads.

Abstract: A mixed bipolar-CMOS self-aligned process and integrated circuit provide a high performance NPN bipolar transistor in parallel to fabrication of a PMOSFET and an NMOSFET. Gate and base contacts are formed in a first polysilicon layer. The base contacts are implanted with P+ ion concentrations for diffusing base contact regions of the substrate in a later drive-in step. Source and drain contacts and emitter contacts are formed in a second polysilicon layer. The source and drain contacts are formed as a unit and then separated into discrete contacts by a spin-on polymer planarization and etch-back procedure. Lightly-doped lateral margins of the source, drain and base regions are ion-implanted in an initial low concentration (e.g. about 10.sup.13 atoms/cm.sup.2). The gate and base contact structures serve as a mask to self-align the implants. Then, the gate and base structures are enclosed in an oxide box having sidewalls.

Abstract: A ravel-free orthopaedic casting tape made with a fiberglass substrate coated with a water reactive hardenable resin. The fiberglass substrate is coated with a soft flexible binder to provide a thin stretchable coating on the substrate prior to the application of the water reactive hardenable resin to the substrate to form a casting tape. The soft flexible binder provides ravel resistance to the casting tape.
