Abstract: A device and method of a floating shot pin combines the actions of a floating pin with a retracting pin. The assembly includes a body having an internal inward taper; and a pin retainer shaft at least partially housed within the body and connected to a cylinder shaft. The pin retainer shaft including a shaped shoulder portion corresponding to the inward taper. In an extended state, the cylinder shaft urges the shaped shoulder portion of the pin retainer shaft to engage with the inward tapered portion of the body creating a locked position to support a workpiece on a pin while work is performed. In a retracted state, the cylinder shaft retracts leaving the locked position allowing the pin retainer shaft to float within tolerances in the connection between the pin retainer shaft and the cylinder shaft thereby relieving pressure on a pin while the workpiece is removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the importance-directed geometric simplification of complex mesh-based representations of objects in virtual environments for radiosity-based global illumination simulations. By means of simplification, the time needed to solve the radiosity equation and so generate an accurate physically-based simulation can be markedly reduced. Further, geometric simplification is performed during the global illumination simulation process rather than as a preprocess step.

Abstract: Monthly average DLI values for a specified geographic location, or a greenhouse, polytunnel or other controlled environment at the specified geographic location, are calculated from historic reference data from weather stations. The calculations are a prediction based on the geographic similarity of the specified location to the locations of the weather stations. Calculations may also be based on the proximity of the weather stations. Weather data from satellites may also be used. A calculation indicates whether a proposed controlled environment in a specified geographic location will provide sufficient monthly DLI for a given crop with known DLI requirements. Where the DLI is insufficient, an amount of supplemental electric lighting is specified.

Abstract: A provider-patient encounter device delivers medical information and services by receiving content from context sponsors, linking the content to service codes and presenting the content to providers. The service codes represent medical procedure codes and medical diagnosis codes. Each service code includes a provider demographic code, a service priority code, and a supplemental service code. The provider-patient encounter device presents a selectable list of service codes and presents content from a context sponsor assigned to a service code when the provider selects the service code from the selectable list of service codes.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a memory cell in a two-bit EEPROM device, the process includes forming an ONO layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, depositing a hard mask overlying the ONO layer, and patterning the hard mask. Preferably, the hard mask includes a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, titanium nitride, polysilicon, silicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxi-nitride, and silicon rich nitride. In one preferred embodiment, the process further includes implanting the semiconductor substrate with a p-type dopant at an angle substantially normal to the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate and annealing the semiconductor substrate upon implanting the semiconductor substrate with a p-type dopant. In one preferred embodiment, the process further includes implanting the semiconductor substrate with an n-type dopant.

Abstract: A process for fabricating a memory cell in a two-bit EEPROM device including forming an ONO layer overlying a semiconductor substrate, depositing a hard mask overlying the ONO layer, and patterning the hard mask. The hard mask is preferably made from polysilicon or silicon. The process further includes doping the semiconductor substrate with boron causing p-type regions to form in the semiconductor substrate, and doping the semiconductor substrate with n-type dopants, such as arsenic, causing n-type regions to form in the semiconductor substrate. The exposed ONO layer is then etched to expose part of the semiconductor substrate, and a bit-line oxide region is formed overlying the semiconductor substrate. The hard mask is then removed, preferably using a plasma etch process.
