Abstract: A semiconductor structure is provided and includes a first gate structure, a second gate structure, and at least one local interconnect that extend continuously across a non-active region from a first active region to a second active region. The semiconductor structure further includes a first separation spacer disposed on the first gate structure and first vias on the first gate structure. The first vias are arranged on opposite sides of the first separation spacer are isolated from each other and apart from the first separation spacer by different distances.

Abstract: Various techniques for disabling a first implantable medical device (IMD) by modulation of therapeutic electrical stimulation delivered by a second medical device are described. One example method includes delivering therapeutic electrical stimulation from a more recently implanted second IMD at a higher average rate than the previously implanted first IMD so that only the more recently implanted IMD will administer therapy, and modulating stimulation by the more recently implanted IMD in order to send a disable command to the previously implanted IMD.

Abstract: A cookware handle includes a metal insert and a cured phenolic overmold molded over the insert. The metal insert may be shaped to prevent movement of the overmold with respect to the insert, and may include a screw boss for attaching the handle to a cookware vessel. The overmold is molded over the insert into the shape of a handle. The overmold may encapsulate the insert, and may define a hole aligned with the screw boss to receive a screw that extends through the screw boss and into the cookware vessel. The present invention also includes a method for manufacturing a cookware handle, including the steps of a) providing a metal insert having an attachment portion; b) overmolding a phenolic molding material over the insert, the overmold shaped in the form of a cookware handle; and c) attaching the overmold and insert to a cookware vessel with the attachment portion of the insert.
