Abstract: A sanitizing system and method are configured to disinfect at least one surface within an area. The sanitizing system and method include a lighting assembly configured to emit disinfecting visible light onto the at least one surface. The disinfecting visible light is configured to neutralize microorganisms on the at least one surface.

Abstract: A display assembly includes a front panel including a feature. A light source is behind the front panel. A light guide header is coupled to the light source. One or more fiber optic strands are coupled to the light guide header and routed proximate to one or more portions of the feature. The light guide header is configured to receive a portion of light emitted by the light source and guide the portion of the light into the one or more fiber optic strands to illuminate the one or more portions of the feature.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a panel includes forming a path segment on a surface of a substrate from a photoluminescent material. The method further includes overlaying the path segment with an overlay material. The overlay material is configured to render the path segment substantially invisible under an ambient photopic condition and render the path segment visible under an ambient mesopic or scotopic condition.

Abstract: A method for generating a layout of a semiconductor circuit to satisfy minimum spacing requirements that includes generating one or more polygons for the layout, with each generated polygon having an area, a plurality of corners and satisfying the minimum spacing requirements of the layout rules. The corners of the generated polygon are then chamfered, and the generated polygon with chamfered corners is expanded or reduced in size.

Abstract: A photodiode array includes a first photodiode and at least a second photodiode. The first photodiode includes a first active area, a first anti-reflective coating area, and a first residual polysilicon ring. The first anti-reflective coating area and the first residual polysilicon ring are formed asymmetrically over the first active area. The second photodiode includes a second active area, a second anti-reflective coating area, and a second residual polysilicon ring. The second anti-reflective coating area and the second residual polysilicon ring are formed asymmetrically over the second active area. The first anti-reflective coating area is formed over a region of the first active region adjacent to the second photodiode, and the second anti-reflective coating area is formed over a region of the second active region adjacent to the first photodiode.

Abstract: An integrated circuit having very low parasitic current gain includes a guard ring that is used to completely surround a device, such as a power device, that induces parasitic current. The guard ring is formed in a semiconductor body layer such as an epitaxial layer and has a central guard ring of the same type conductivity as that of the body layer and additional flanking rings of the opposite type conductivity. An unbiased configuration of the guard ring based on the above structure is particularly effective in reducing the parasitic gain. The effectiveness of the guard ring, such as the high current performance, is further improved by reducing the resistance between neighboring rings using various methods.
