  • Publication number: 20220415791
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of integrated circuit structure fabrication. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a dielectric material structure having a trench therein. A conductive interconnect line in the trench, the conductive interconnect line having a length and a width, the width having a cross-sectional profile, wherein the cross-sectional profile of the width of the conductive interconnect line has a bottom lateral width, a mid-height lateral width, and a top lateral width, and wherein the mid-height lateral width is greater than the bottom lateral width, and the mid-height lateral width is greater than the top lateral width.

  • Publication number: 20170212049
    Abstract: An optically-based method and apparatus for monitoring a cannabis sample is provided. The method includes selecting a light source; selecting an optional optical filter; and applying the light source to illuminate a sample, wherein at least one of: light reflected from the sample, light transmitted through the sample, and light produced by fluorescence of the sample, is directed from the sample to the optical filter.

  • Patent number: 7607253
    Abstract: A lure light device is positioned on a fish line ahead of a fishing lure to illuminate the lure when used at depths or at night. The device has a watertight body containing an LED or lamp device and power cells. A lens on the device contains the light so that it concentrates on the lure. An additional chamber can be used for a scent or fish attractant. A switch turns the light on when a cable has tension from the drag of the lure.

  • Publication number: 20090223109
    Abstract: A downrigger light attractor device is positioned on a downrigger cable, between the downrigger weight and the release device that holds the fish line. The lure light illuminates the trailing lure at depths or at night. The device preferably has a generally flat vertical body with a cylindrical lamp chamber, including a battery compartment formed unitarily with the flat body, and a sealed capsule or end cap, containing an LED, that screws into a threaded aft end of the battery compartment. A nose fin ahead of the lure light vertical axis can provide some desirable wobble. A scent or fish attractant can be dispersed from a barrel member formed above the lamp compartment.

  • Patent number: 5558157
    Abstract: An improved apparatus and method is provided for removing microfouling from the tube side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger on a more effective and efficient basis. The tube side of the heat exchanger is isolated and drained completely of surface water while it is still on-line. A source of low relative humidity air which is dry is provided. The low relative humidity air is passed through the tube side of the heat exchanger while there is still a heat load on the shell side of the heat exchanger. The surface water is re-introduced to the heat exchanger after the tube side of the heat exchanger has been dried so as to wash away and remove the dried out microfouling from the tube side of the heat exchanger.
