  • Method of fabricating imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 5132195
    Abstract: In a method for fabricating imaging apparatus, adjoining regions, each forming only part of the active area of the complete device, are laid down separately, enabling larger active areas to be produced than would otherwise be possible using conventional wafer stepper equipment. In the complete device, imaging may be arranged over the boundary between the regions and/or charge may be transferred across the boundary.

  • Boat construction
    Patent number: 4621587
    Abstract: A demountable catamaran assembly includes a pair of cockpit-equipped, kayak-type canoe hulls laterally joined in spaced-apart relationship by the frame of a trampoline. Longitudinally spaced pairs of tabernacles on the two hulls removably receive four depending spigot components on the trampoline frame to maintain the assembly of the pair of hulls while a further tabernacle on the trampoline frame removably receives a sail mast.
