  • Method for forming a lateral bipolar transistor with dual collector, circular symmetry and composite structure
    Patent number: 5387553
    Abstract: A lateral PNP bipolar transistor includes concentric circular emitter and annular base and dual collector regions. The inner collector region is moderately doped to provide good punch-through and Early voltage performance. The outer collector region is highly doped to provide low collector series resistance. A composite transistor made up of any desired number of individual transistors provides a transistor having a desired current capacity. The transistor annular base cross-section permits very accurate base width control during the manufacturing process.

  • Dockplate
    Patent number: 4864672
    Abstract: A novel dockplate is made up of three pieces, hinge-connected together to form a safe bridging means. The end pieces or plates of the three-piece structure have breaks to permit a minimum angle incline when the dockplate is in use. The center or main portion of the dockplate has a base which lifts it above the upper planes of both end pieces.
