Abstract: A spoon includes a bowl and a handle extending from the bowl. The handle includes first and second bars. The first bar has a proximal end connected to the bowl and forming a resilient projection having an barbed free end and a distal end forming a hinge with a distal end of the second bar whereby the second bar is rotatable with respect to the first bar between a closed position and an open position to realize a clip for clamping for example a food storage bag. The second bar has a proximal end forming an extended flange releasably engageable with the barbed end of the projection of the first bar to releasably secure the second bar to the first bar in the closed position.

Abstract: A floating gate having a first and second end region, each of which are positioned adjacent to a corresponding lateral end of the floating gate. A middle region is positioned laterally towards a middle of the floating gate relative to the first and second end regions. The first end region, the middle region and the second end region are formed of a same material during a single fabrication step, and the middle region formed has a thickness which is less than a thickness of the first or second end regions. This invention further includes a method for forming a contoured floating gate for use in a floating gate memory cell.

Abstract: A customer-settled voice navigation apparatus is disclosed which comprises a control unit, a satellite positioning signal receiving unit, a map data supply unit, a carte display unit, a navigating condition setting unit, an audio input unit, a navigating condition and information storage unit, a navigating condition comparing unit an audio output unit, and a voice output requiring unit. According to the invention, the user could settle any desired navigating information itself with respect to any location, area, timing, speed, height, and direction by means of an audio-recording manner at any place. Also, the invention could output audio navigating information previously recorded when the navigating condition designated by the user is matched.

Abstract: Improved methods for forming integrated circuit devices with alignment structures such as a read-only memory (ROM) array in preparation for code programming with a mask is disclosed. In one embodiment, a gate oxide layer is deposited over a substrate and a gate stack layer is formed over the gate oxide layer. The gate stack layer includes a conductive layer and a sacrificial gate layer formed above the conductive layer with a thin layer of etch stop material in between. The gate stack layer is patterned and etched to form a plurality of wordlines having openings therebetween. An ion barrier layer is deposited over the patterned gate stacks, filling the openings. The ion barrier layer is then etched back to form alignment structures in the openings. A code programming mask, is deposited over the resulting structure and patterned to expose portions of the sacrificial gates. The exposed portions of the plurality of sacrificial gates are removed, followed by ion implantation in the designated channel regions.

Abstract: A cap assembly includes a valve seat member having a tubular outer wall adapted to be mounted on an open top end of a container, and an inner tube disposed in the outer wall and having an axis parallel to an axis of the outer wall. The inner tube has a bottom end formed with an aperture. The outer wall is formed with a radial outlet. The valve seat member further has an L-shaped fluid conduit with an open bottom end that is adapted to communicate an interior of the container with the radial outlet. A stem member extends upwardly through the inner tube via the aperture and has a bottom end provided with a valve piece. The stem member is biased such that the valve piece seals the open bottom end of the fluid conduit. A cap body has a top portion formed with an opening, and a peripheral portion mounted on a top end of the outer wall of the valve seat member.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a very short channel memory cell having a double diffuse implant junction is disclosed. The system and method comprise the sequential steps of providing a junction implant, providing a spacer, and providing a double diffuse implant. Because the double diffuse implant is provided after the spacer, the double diffuse implant does not extend as far under the gate of a memory cell after processing. Thus, the memory cell has a graded junction that does not substantially shorten the effective length of the channel. The memory cell can, therefore, function even as the size of the memory cell is decreased. In addition, the thermal cycling of the double diffuse implant may be decoupled from that of the junction implant. This is achieved without complicating processing. Consequently, overall system performance is enhanced.

Abstract: A method for playing a card game having a dealer and at least one player, wherein the dealer deals two cards facing up to each player and at least two cards to the dealer, one card dealt face up and the other card or cards dealt after the playing of the players' hands. Each player arranges his cards within a boxed-in area located in front of the player having four rectangles therein. The four rectangles define two rows and two columns to provide four lines of chances for matching a winning number. The winning number is determined by the addition of the dealer's two cards and may also include a second winning number determined by the difference of the dealer's two cards. The game provides conditions for a second chance game for players who do not win with the dealer's first two cards.

Abstract: An improved one-transistor flash EEPROM cell structure and a method for making the same is provided so that the effective channel length dimension is independent of the critical dimensions of the stacked gate structure. The cell structure (210) includes an n.sup.- buried channel/junction region (216) which is implanted in a substrate (212) before formation of a tunnel oxide (226) and a stacked gate structure (234). After the formation of the stacked gate structure, a p-type drain region (222) is implanted with a large tilt angle in the substrate. Thereafter, n.sup.+ source and n.sup.+ drain regions (218, 224) are implanted in the substrate so as to be self-aligned to the stacked gate structure. The cell structure of the present invention facilitates scalability to small size and is useful in high density application.
