Publication number: 20230420443Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) devices with diodes formed in a subfin between a support structure of an IC device and one or more nanoribbon stacks are disclosed. To alleviate challenges of limited semiconductor cross-section provided by the subfin, etch depths in the subfin (i.e., depths of recesses in the subfin formed as a part of forming the diodes) are selectively optimized and varied. Deeper recesses are made in subfin portions at which diode terminals (e.g., anodes and cathodes) are formed, to increase the semiconductor cross-section in those portions, thus providing improved subfin contacts. Shallower recesses (or no recesses) are made in subfin portion between the diode terminals, to increase subfin retention. Thus, subfin diodes may be provided in a manner that enables improved diode conductance and/or improved current carrying capabilities while advantageously using substantially the same etch processes as those used for forming nanoribbon-based transistors elsewhere in the IC device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Nicholas A.

Patent number: 7866725Abstract: A roll tarp system with a rear assembly including a pivoting arm and cable to help deploy the roll tarp system. The pivoting arm and flexible cable can articulate to allow a rear door to open. The roll tarp system includes a conventional roll tarp on a roller attached to one side of a container of a truck or trailer and an actuator to operate the tarp. A pivoting arm can be attached to the outside of a rear opening door on the container. A flexible cable has one end attached to the distal end of the pivoting arm and another end attached to the tarp axle of the roller of the roll tarp. Preferably, the flexible cable consists of the only structure between a cable attachment at the pivoting arm and an attachment at the axle of the roller.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2010Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Roll-Rite, LLCInventors: Timothy Searfoss, John Orr

Publication number: 20100070541Abstract: The present disclosure provides a student information state reporting system. The disclosed system allows a user to define a form that includes questions for capturing data elements related to a state report. The user also associates the form with a snapshot for automatic synchronization of at least one of the data elements. In addition, the user defines at least one field in the form to be included in the snapshot and automatically synchronized. Next, the user 118 associates the form with an output definition that matches a state report format. Preferably, an output based on the output definition for the state report is automatically scheduled, and the automatic synchronization is only applied when in an on-line mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2009Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: METAPHOR SOFTWARE, INC.Inventor: Scott John Orr

Publication number: 20080048010Abstract: A mounting fixture for a power plant nozzle which allows the user to perform a single set-up and alignment on a nozzle location for overlay, matching, and inspection technologies. Once the fixture is set-up, the user can mount and dismount welding, machining, and inspection equipment in less time than traditional motion systems would require.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2007Publication date: February 28, 2008Inventors: Patrick Brousset, Ronald Payne, John Orr, Charles Graves

Patent number: 7292189Abstract: The invention relates to a method of signal analysis that determines the location of a transmitter and to devices that implement the method. The method includes receiving by at least three receivers, from a transmitter, a first continuous-time signal having a first channel. The first channel includes a first plurality of signal carriers having known relative initial phases and having known frequencies which are periodically spaced and which are orthogonal to one another within a first frequency range. The signal analysis method also includes determining the phase shifts of the carriers of the first channel resulting from the distance the carriers traveled in reaching the first receiver. Analysis of the phase shifts yields time difference of arrival information amongst the receivers, which is further processed to determine the location of the transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2005Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Worcester Polytechnic InstituteInventors: John A. Orr, William R. Michalson, David Cyganski, R. James Duckworth

Patent number: 5259010Abstract: The spacer pin of this invention is preferably threadably secured to a thermal shield normally found within reactor vessels. It comprises a main body having a cavity therein which houses a locking assembly that alternately engages or disengages the threads of the thermal shield as desired. Ideally, as bolt means are is rotated within the main body, locking keys are either moved into engagement with the threads of the thermal shield or the locking keys are removed from such engagement with the thermal shield. In this fashion, the spacer pin may be locked onto or unlocked from the thermal shield as desired. A locking cap prevents the bolt means from coming unthreaded during use and also insures that the spacer pin remains secured to the thermal shield.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1991Date of Patent: November 2, 1993Assignee: B&W Nuclear Service CompanyInventors: Steve K. Brown, Larry D. Dixon, John A. Orr
