Abstract: A liquid crystal on silicon display device (LCOS) has a semiconductor substrate comprising a surface region and a gate dielectric layer overlying the surface region. The device also has a word line formed overlying the gate dielectric layer and a first source/drain region coupled to the word line. The device has a bottom electrode structure formed overlying an interlayer dielectric. A capacitor dielectric is formed overlying the bottom electrode. A top electrode structure is formed overlying the capacitor dielectric to form a capacitor structure including the bottom electrode structure, the capacitor dielectric, and the top electrode structure. The device has a mirror surface formed overlying the top electrode structure to form a pixel electrode structure and a liquid crystal material provided overlying the mirror surface. In an embodiment, the LCOS described above is in an integrated circuit chip that also includes a DRAM device.

Abstract: A pulse diagnostic instrument of the present invention comprises a plurality of probes connected together and aligned laterally in series, with each probe configured for contacting a skin surface of a body limb adjacent an arterial vessel. Each probe includes a pressure sensor configured for sensing a pulse pressure of the arterial vessel and an electrically-driven pressure applicator, mounted to the pressure sensor, and configured for applying an external force through the pressure sensor to apply pressure against the arterial vessel through the skin surface during sensing of the pulse pressure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic storage cartridge adapted to be removably received by a drive base. The magnetic storage cartridge comprises a housing that includes at least one magnetic disk rotatable about an axis, and an actuator arrangement pivotal about an axis. The actuator arrangement includes at least one read/write head for reading and writing information to and from the at least one magnetic disk. The housing also includes a first engagement feature positioned on the housing at the rotational axis of the magnetic disk and a second engagement feature positioned on the housing at the pivot axis of the actuator arrangement. The housing of the storage cartridge also includes a third engagement feature that is spaced from the first and second engagement features.
