Abstract: A method and apparatus that provides a method for loading native code into the memory of a data processing system for use by a Java virtual machine. Native code is loaded for a method into the memory, wherein the memory is accessible by the Java virtual machine. An indicator is set to indicate to the Java virtual machine that native code is present for the method.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a data processing system for optimizing execution of an object by a virtual machine. Monitoring is performed to detect execution of the object. Responsive to detecting execution of the object, content relating to the object, is identified. The content in a class file for the object is stored, wherein the content is used to optimize future executions of the object.

Abstract: The glue deposit device and method for automatically mounting a plurality of power devices to a heatsink using a plurality of spring clamps. The fully automated unconventional pick-and-place machine and method utilizing the glue deposit device for assembling the power printed circuit board using the spring clamps are also disclosed.

Abstract: A lateral RF MOS device having a combined source connection structure is disclosed. The combined source connection structure utilizes a diffusion area and a conductive plug region. In one embodiment, the diffusion source area forms a contact region connecting the top surface of the semiconductor material to a highly conductive substrate of the lateral RF MOS transistor structure. In another embodiment, the diffusion source area is located completely within the epitaxial layer of the lateral RF MOS transistor structure. The conductive plug region makes a direct physical contact between a backside of the semiconductor material and the diffusion contact area.

Abstract: A source connection structure for a lateral RF MOS device is disclosed. The connection structure utilizes a conductive plug to connect a source area and a body area of the device with a backside. The usage of a conductive plug eliminates at least one doping area used for connectivity purposes. Therefore, the density of RF MOS devices per unit area of the chip is increased.

Abstract: A quasi-mesh gate structure for the RF MOS transistor having a conductive plug source-body-backside connection is disclosed. The RF MOS transistor having the quasi-mesh gate structure utilizes significantly shorter feeding gate paths as compared to the long feeding gate paths used in the prior art RF MOS devices. The RF MOS transistor having the quasi-mesh gate structure can utilize the polysilicon gates or silicided gates. This results in simplification of the fabrication process and/or improved performance at high frequencies.

Abstract: A refrigeration unit, particularly adapted for portable refrigerator chests, includes a primary evaporation coil whose inlet end is connected via a capillary tube to a source of pressurized liquid refrigerant. A substantially closed refrigeration receptable in fluid communication with the outlet side of the primary evaporator, receives the refrigerant, which may not have completely evaporated, and separates the phases by venting the evaporated gaseous phase to the atmosphere while directing the unevaporated liquid refrigerant into a second evaporator coil wherein it is completely evaporated. A thermostatically controlled valve regulates the flow of refrigerant to the primary evaporator as a function of the temperature within the chest.
