  • Patent number: 7726065
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pest removal device for removing a pest from a surface and a method of using the pest removal device. The pest removal device comprises an engagement side covered by an adhesive layer, a backing side positioned opposite the engagement side, a single release tab covered with a non-adhesive layer extending from the pest removal device for removing the engagement side from the surface.

  • Patent number: 7447064
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for providing a CMOS compatible single poly electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) with memory cells that comprise an NMOS program transistor. In a first embodiment the memory cells of the EEPROM comprise a PMOS control capacitor. In a second embodiment the memory cells of the EEPROM comprise an NMOS control capacitor. A well bias voltage is applied to the NMOS program transistor instead of a gate bias voltage. The well bias voltage enables the injection of (1) channel hot electrons, (2) second hot electrons initiated by the channel hot electrons, and (3) drain impact ionization hot electrons into a floating gate of the NMOS program transistor.

  • Publication number: 20070198630
    Abstract: A method and system for consolidating old support documents for a product that is out-of-support into a single archive file package (“archive package”) that is accessible from a single webpage. The archive package includes static and unchanging updates, fixes, redbooks, Authorized Problem Analysis Reports (APARs) and Document Control Facility (DCF) published content related to the out-of-support product. To access and use the archive package, the provider of the product and/or its support then provides access to the archive package to users, either by storing the archive package on a server, or by downloading the archive package to the user's computer as a single document. Because the product is out-of-support, no new documents/downloads/plug-ins etc. will be developed by the producer in the future, and thus the archive package will contain the latest content related to the out-of-support product.

  • Publication number: 20070052059
    Abstract: A single, controlled etch step can be used to form a sharp tip feature along a sidewall of an etch feature. An etch process is used that is selective to a layer of tip material relative to the substrate upon which the layer is deposited. A lag can be created in the etch, such that the etch rate is slower near the sidewall. The sharp tip feature is formed from the same layer of material used to create the etch feature. The sharp tip feature can be used to decrease the minimum critical dimension of an etch process, such as may be due to the minimum resolution of a photolithographic process. The novel tip feature also can be used for other applications, such as to create a microaperture for a photosensitive device, or to create a micromold that can be used to form objects such as microlenses.

  • Publication number: 20030134591
    Abstract: A system is provided for communicating encoded signals to control a device for performing work related to yarding operations. The system includes a transmitter for transmitting an encoded signal having two or more digital portions. The first portion is a preamble, and a second portion is an action code. The system also includes a receiver for receiving the encoded signal to produce a controlling signal. The receiver is activated to process the action code to produce the controlling signal, thereby controlling the device for performing work related to yarding operations, when the preamble is of a predetermined pattern.
