Abstract: A method for improving performance of a transistor oriented in <110> orientation is described. Contacts on either side of the gate are misaligned with respect to one another. The placement of the contacts changes the stress pattern so that the direction of a large part of the tensile strain is diverted from the direction of the current flow.

Abstract: An interface, implemented in a computer, for representing and controlling the electronic assembly of books or manuals. The interface comprises a display, a plurality of directories, each directory identifying a selected group of documents to be printed and a plurality of objects, each object being associated with a visual representation on the display of a plurality of different ordered stock media. The interface interacts with software that will open up a directory and perform a predetermined sorting of the ordered media contained in each of the directories. The software also preferably sorts the directories for each of the ordered media types. An operator can use the graphic user interface to move a selected directory to a predefined location on the screen whereby the software will perform the sorting function automatically.

Abstract: A prepackaged food vending machine limited cooling apparatus and method for food vending machines of the type used for storing and dispensing prepackaged foods at normal room temperatures. The apparatus includes an elongated air conduit connected at one end thereof to, and in airflow communication with an interior of, the food vending machine. Another end of the air conduit connected to, and in airflow communication with a refrigerated interior of, a cold beverage vending machine. An airflow device, e.g. a blower or axial fan, is positioned in air flow communication between the interiors of the food and beverage vending machines whereby cold air within the beverage vending machine is transferred through the air conduit to the interior of the food vending machine in an airflow volume sufficient to reduce the air temperature within the food vending machine to a predetermined temperature below room temperature toward the operating temperature within the interior of the refrigerated beverage vending machine.

Abstract: A receiver including a vibrator plate vibrating together with a voice coil in response to electrification of said voice coil which comprises an electrostatic discharge prevention plate having a central opening arranged above the vibrator plate with a small air gap provided therebetween. A metal cover around the top and sides of the receiver is imbedded in plastic for inhibiting electrostatic discharge via the cover. As a result the discharge path length through the air is substantially increased, reducing the likelihood of electrostatic discharge from the ear of the user.

Abstract: A cover for removably attaching to paddled waterbed rails. Specifically, a cover having a variety of devices for joining a series of paired straps attached along opposite edges of the cover to secure the cover to the waterbed rail.

Abstract: The invention of the present application relates to waterbeds (10). Waterbeds (10) usually have side rails (21) and often have a foot board (20) and/or head board (22). Together these form an enclosure (16) for containing the water-filled mattress (25). Padded rails (21) above the top edge (24) of the frame (16) prevent the hard wood edge from discomforting the occupants. Applicants provide a fabric cover (32) that slips over the padded rails (21) before they are installed. The fabric cover (32) has elastic bands (36) that hold the cover (32) snug to the padded rail (21) and which bands (36) jam between the top edge (24) of the frame (16) and the inside surface of the padded rail (21) when the padded rails (21) are installed.
