Abstract: A memory cell including conductive oxide electrodes is disclosed. The memory cell includes a memory element operative to store data as a plurality of resistive states. The memory element includes a layer of a conductive metal oxide (CMO) (e.g., a perovskite) in contact with an electrode that may comprise one or more layers of material. At least one of those layers of material can be a conductive oxide (e.g., a perovskite such as LaSrCoO3—LSCoO or LaNiO3—LNO) that is in contact with the CMO. The conductive oxide layer can be selected as a seed layer operative to provide a good lattice match with and/or a lower crystallization temperature for the CMO. The conductive oxide layer may also be in contact with a metal layer (e.g., Pt). The memory cell additionally exhibits non-linear IV characteristics, which can be favorable in certain arrays, such as non-volatile two-terminal cross-point memory arrays.

Abstract: A treated conductive element is provided. A conductive element can be treated by depositing either a reactive metal or a very thin layer of material on the conductive element. The reactive metal (or very thin layer of material) would typically be sandwiched between the conductive element and an electrode. The structure additionally exhibits non-linear IV characteristics, which can be favorable in certain arrays.

Abstract: A car seat carrier includes a belt for holding the car seat and a shoulder strap attached to the belt for carrying the car seat. The belt resides around the base of the car seat. A first end of the shoulder strap attaches to a center point of a first belt end.

Abstract: A car seat carrier includes a belt for holding the car seat and a shoulder strap attached to the belt for carrying the car seat. The belt resides around the base of the car seat. The shoulder strap attaches diagonal across the belt to provide a balanced carry. A cross-strap crosses over the car seat, attaching to the belt on one side and to the shoulder strap on an opposite side, and is attached to the shoulder strap at a point about twelve inches from the attachment of the shoulder strap to the belt. The cross-strap length is adjustable to allow the cross-strap/shoulder strap geometry to be adjusted to balance the car seat. The shoulder strap includes a buckle and the length adjustment. The shoulder strap may further include padding to increase comfort.

Abstract: A family of Java interfaces defines methods to provide common information about a property, such as data type and editing capabilities. The interfaces identify the methods used to get generic metadata. Implementers may extend these classes, as needed, to provide the metadata for their specific properties. The common metadata description interface of the present invention allows multiple metadata sources to be used interchangeably within the same software product without the software code being specifically written for each metadata source.
