Abstract: Disclosed are hair conditioning shampoo compositions comprising: a) from about 5% to about 50%, by weight, of a surfactant component selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, or a combination of anionic and amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactants where the amphoteric surfactants are anionic or zwitterionic at the pH of the composition; b) from about 0.01% to about 5%, by weight, of a water soluble, organic, cationic polymer hair conditioning agent having a cationic charge density of from about 0.1 meq/gram to about 1.2 meq/gram and wherein said water soluble, organic, cationic polymer hair conditioning agent has a molecular weight greater than 600,000; and c) an aqueous carrier.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a planar reflective light valve backplane includes the steps of providing a substrate (e.g., a reflective backplane) including a plurality of surface projections (e.g., pixel mirrors) defining gaps therebetween, forming an etch-resistant layer on the substrate, forming a fill layer on the etch resistant layer, and etching the fill layer to expose portions of the etch resistant layer overlying the projections, leaving a portion of the fill layer in the gaps. A particular method includes an optional step of forming a protective layer over the exposed portions of the etch-resistant layer and the fill layer. In another particular method, the etch resistant layer includes an optical thin film layer and an etch-resistant cap layer.

Abstract: A planar wafer based device (e.g., a reflective light valve backplane) includes a substrate having a plurality of surface projections (e.g., pixel mirrors) defining gaps therebetween, an etch-resistant layer formed on the substrate, and a fill layer formed on a portion of the etch-resistant layer in the gaps. In a particular embodiment, the fill layer is a spin-on coating. An optional protective layer formed on the exposed portions of the etch-resistant layer and the fill layer protects the underlying layers during subsequent processing steps.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, a method of fabricating N+ and P+ silicided gates limits diffusion when using a Tungsten, Titanium or Cobalt silicide in the gate fabrication. An example method involves doping a polysilicon structure in first and second dual gate regions and on either side of an undoped polysilicon region, forming a silicide is over the polysilicon structure, and then stuffing the undoped polysilicon region with a species selected to inhibit lateral diffusion of dopant from the polysilicon in the silicide. Subsequently, each gate is completed so that is includes a dielectric layer arranged over the silicide and one of the doped gate poly regions. Applications include logic circuits having embedded-DRAM, and circuits directed to stand-alone logic or stand-alone DRAM.

Abstract: A blank, or dummy, face plate element engages top and bottom edges of a cabinet frame, directly behind a front panel card insertion opening that provides access to multiple card slots of an electronic equipment rack. The dummy face plate includes a rearwardly projecting, upper lip, that is located adjacent to a top edge of the face plate, and has a notch immediately adjacent to the rear surface of the face plate. The notch fits within and is captured by an upper edge of the cabinet frame. A rearwardly projecting, generally U-shaped, flexible lower lip is provided adjacent to a lower edge of the face plate and includes a pair of finger grips. The flexible lower lip has a ridge that becomes aligned with the lower edge of the faceplate when the lower lip is flexed upwardly toward the first lip, and a notch adjacent to the ridge that is captured by the cabinet frame.

Abstract: A high-power flowing-gas laser comprises an outer housing, an optical system including a laser channel within the housing, and an impeller for producing a flow of gas through the laser channel. The laser channel is folded so as to be constituted of a plurality of legs disposed in a polygon, preferably square, configuration, there being a gas flow channel for each laser channel leg and including an axially-extending inlet section and a radially-extending outlet section, the latter being formed with aligned laser openings for accommodating the laser beam of the respective laser channel leg. The laser further includes an internal partition wall between the outlet end of the impeller and the inlet ends of the gas flow channels for confining the gas flow from the impeller to the inlet ends of the gas flow channels, which partition substantially precludes gas flow into the gas flow channel legs through the aligned laser openings at the outlet sections of the gas flow channels.
