  • Method and apparatus for gold detection
    Patent number: 8416418
    Abstract: A gold detection apparatus capable of detecting gold in field mineral samples such as rock or soil with little or no preparation. Light in red and violet wavelengths is directed at a surface of a mineral sample and the reflected light intensity is measured by an array of sensors or pixels. Based on the characteristic reflectance properties of gold, the reflected light intensity in each wavelength is used to determine the presence of gold particles.
    Type: Grant

  • Antifuse based on silicided polysilicon bipolar transistor
    Patent number: 6218722
    Abstract: An improved antifuse which employs the base-emitter junction of a silicided single polysilicon bipolar transistor. The distance between the base metal and emitter metal is shortened and results from self aligning process steps rather than lithographic steps, resulting in a lower and better controlled programming voltage, programming energy and ON state resistance. Typically the conductive filament formed in the new antifuse is about 0.65 microns long and is formed by a voltage pulse having a relatively slow rise time (e.g. 150 microseconds), resulting in improved properties which provide advantages in circuit design and in manufacturing circuits using the new antifuse.
