  • Publication number: 20070038222
    Abstract: A repair system including a closure prosthesis and deployment device, and associated methods for repairing any imperfection including a flaw, hole, tear, bulge, or, in some cases, a deliberate cut or incision in any tissue including an intervertebral disc is disclosed. The prosthesis has first and second side portions with a connecting central portion, and is designed to span an imperfection with opposite ends positioned on opposite sides of the imperfection or the same side of the imperfection. The prosthesis may include anchoring features including barbs and/or members that extend transversely or at different angles. The deployment device can include a cannula for positioning the prosthesis near the imperfection, and, in some cases, a mechanism that may cause the two sides of the prosthesis to be deployed in a specific order.

  • Patent number: 6100549
    Abstract: A high breakdown voltage HFET includes a reduced surface field (RESURF) layer of p-type conductivity GaN positioned on a substrate with a channel layer of n-type conductivity GaN positioned thereon. A barrier layer of n-type conductivity Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N is positioned on the channel layer to form a lateral channel adjacent to and parallel with the interface. A gate electrode is positioned on the barrier layer overlying the lateral channel and a drain electrode is positioned on the channel layer in contact with the lateral channel and spaced to one side of the gate electrode a distance which determines the breakdown voltage. A source electrode is positioned on the channel layer to the opposite side of the gate electrode, in contact with the lateral channel and also in contact with the RESURF layer.
