  • Patent number: 9332928
    Abstract: An volume of a patient can be mapped with a system operable to identify a plurality of locations and save a plurality of locations of a mapping instrument. The mapping instrument can include one or more electrodes that can sense a voltage that can be correlated to a three dimensional location of the electrode at the time of the sensing or measurement. Therefore, a map of a volume can be determined based upon the sensing of the plurality of points without the use of other imaging devices. An implantable medical device can then be navigated relative to the mapping data.

  • Publication number: 20160052213
    Abstract: The present invention in one or more embodiments provides a method of forming an opening on a panel, the method including pressing in a first direction on the panel to form a protrusion with a tip portion, and cutting the protrusion with a force in a second direction to remove the tip portion to form the opening on the panel, the second direction being different from the first direction. The first direction may be a direction of gravity plus and minus up to 15 degrees. The second direction may be transverse to the first direction with an angle differential there-between of 75 to 105 degrees.

  • Patent number: 9230388
    Abstract: A holder assembly is provided for safely storing a package of disposable wipes and securely mounting the package of wipes to a wall or table. In one embodiment, the holder assembly has a front wall, a rear wall, and two side walls extending from a base and thereby forming a cavity for receiving the package of disposable wipes. The front wall has a guide channel for slidably receiving a lid assembly connected to the package of wipes. The base of the holder has a plurality of openings for receiving fasteners, such as button head screws or suction cups, for securing the holder to a wall or table. A rear surface of the guide channel has a plurality of ovaloid protrusions configured to engage a tab on the lid and thereby secure the lid to the holder.

  • Patent number: 8975186
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide double patterning methods and structures. In an exemplary method, a to-be-etched layer can be provided. A stress layer can be formed on the to-be-etched layer. The stress layer can have a tensile stress. A plurality of discrete sacrificial layers can be formed on the stress layer. A sidewall-spacer material layer covering the plurality of sacrificial layers and the stress layer can be formed. The sidewall-spacer material layer can be etched to form a sidewall spacer on a sidewall of each sacrificial layer of the plurality of sacrificial layers. The stress layer at each side of the each sacrificial layer can be etched to form a groove passing through a thickness of the stress layer. The plurality of sacrificial layers can be removed.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide semiconductor devices and fabrication methods. In an exemplary method, a dielectric layer can be formed on a semiconductor substrate. A plurality of pillar structures having a matrix arrangement can be formed on the dielectric layer. A plurality of sidewall spacers can be formed on the dielectric layer. Each sidewall spacer can be formed on a sidewall surface of one of the plurality of pillar structures. A distance between adjacent pillar structures in a same row or in a same column can be less than or equal to a double of a thickness of the each sidewall spacer on the sidewall surface. The plurality of pillar structures can be removed. The dielectric layer can be etched using the plurality of sidewall spacers as an etch mask to form a plurality of trenches or through holes in the dielectric layer.
