Abstract: A method includes forming first and second fins of a finFET extending above a semiconductor substrate, with a shallow trench isolation (STI) region in between, and a distance between a top surface of the STI region and top surfaces of the first and second fins. First and second fin extensions are provided on top and side surfaces of the first and second fins above the top surface of the STI region. Material is removed from the STI region, to increase the distance between the top surface of the STI region and top surfaces of the first and second fins. A conformal stressor dielectric material is deposited over the fins and STI region. The conformal dielectric stressor material is reflowed, to flow into a space between the first and second fins above a top surface of the STI region, to apply stress to a channel of the finFET.

Abstract: The present invention relates to particular radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor modulators, and methods of using these modulators for labeling and diagnostic imaging of Cannabinoid-1 receptors in mammals, particularly humans. In addition, intermediates useful for the synthesis of the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor modulators are also disclosed, as well as the processes for synthesizing the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor modulators. Still further, formulations of the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor compounds are described.

Abstract: A case for a pair of far-sighted eyeglasses includes an upper and a lower half case, a pair of far-sighted eyeglasses and a pen. The upper and the lower half case have a soft cloth, and the lower half case has a position block in an intermediate portion to stabilize the far-sighted eyeglasses with the nose bridge of the far-sighted eyeglasses lying on the position block. The lower half case has a shaped retaining block respectively at two opposite sides for keeping a pen stably. Thus the case contains both the pair of far-sighted eyeglasses and the pen for carrying to wear and write. A hang hook is also provided on an outer surface of the upper half case to be hanged on a pocket.

The upper and the lower half case have a soft cloth, and the lower half case has a position block in an intermediate portion to stabilize the far-sighted eyeglasses with the nose bridge of the far-sighted eyeglasses lying on the position block. The lower half case has a shaped retainable block respectively at two opposite sides for keeping a pen stably. Thus the case contains both the pair of far-sighted eyeglasses and the pen for carrying to wear and write. A hang hook is also provided on an outer surface of the upper half case to be hanged on a pocket.

Abstract: A pair of far-sighted eyeglasses with a case includes a case consisting of an upper half case and a lower half case, and a pair of far-sighted eyeglasses. The eyeglasses have two elastic temples with curved portions that protrude slightly beyond an upper edge of the lower half case when placed in the case such that the temples are compressed by the upper half case when the case is closed. When the upper half case is disengaged from the lower half case for opening, the upper half case is pushed away from the lower half case by the temples recovering the elasticity of the curved portions so as to facilitate the opening of the case, without the possibility of the eyeglasses falling out of the case during opening.
