Abstract: Semiconductor device structures with substrate biasing, methods of forming a semiconductor device structure with substrate biasing, and methods of operating a semiconductor device structure with substrate biasing. A substrate contact is coupled to a portion of a bulk semiconductor substrate in a device region. The substrate contact is configured to be biased with a negative bias voltage. A field-effect transistor includes a semiconductor body in the device region of the bulk semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor body is electrically isolated from the portion of the bulk semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: The method and system determine and report measures of adherence of patients to prescription medication regimens based upon fill gaps in the prescription history of the patients. The measure of adherence may be the proportion of days covered by the medication. The method and system may receive or access information relating to a patient's medical history, including past prescription medication fills. Fills of both the prescription medication and other medications that may substitute for the prescription medication may be considered in determining patient adherence levels. Upon determining the patient's level of adherence, the system and method may generate a report including the adherence information and associated information, such as a home pharmacy location. The report may include an indication of whether new-to-therapy information should be presented to a patient based on patient adherence levels.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for helping a user of computer game and learning programs to perceive a correct answer to a question presented by the programs. These computer game and learning programs (Set A programs) are modified by a computer program of this invention that accepts exactly one token string to be a correct answer (Set ESP program). Answer related output information in a Set A program is modified by the Set ESP program to provide a cue (hint) to a user to increase or decrease the ability of a user to perceive a correct answer. When a user enters an answer a guard requirement in the Set ESP program is satisfied and a guarded subfunction in the Set ESP program is executed if the user's answer is correct. Cues for answers can be visual (with or without eye-tracking), audible, and haptic and can be presented subliminally.

Abstract: A canteen having sides, a top portion, and a bottom portion, forming an interior therein. The top portion and the bottom portion are convex shaped and transparent to light. The top portion and the bottom portion have a radius of curvature of 1.5 and 3 inches. When the interior of the canteen is filled with water, the canteen forms a biconvex fire-starting water lens. The canteen, preferably, is made of PETG thermoplastic resin or PLA, is one piece, and the thickness of the sides, top portion, and bottom portion is 5 to 7 mils. The magnification produced by the bioconvex fire-starting water lens is 2 to 6 fold.

Abstract: A fire starting canteen that has internal fire starting lenses. The lenses can be solid or water lenses. The canteen has two internal chambers, one for holding water and the other for holding water and forming a fire burning lens. The fire starting canteens can be combined reversibly or permanently to form an inner canteen and an outer canteen with larger water-carrying capacity and fire starting capability than a single canteen. The lenses are, preferably, convex but can also be concave or a combination of both. A divider in the interior of the canteen forms the two internal chambers. The divider has a convex shape and, in combination with the chamber filled with water, forms the fire starting lens.

Abstract: A golf bag is disclosed that includes base formed of a flexible material, such as a polymer foam material. The base is formed as a one-piece element, and the base may be flexible such that the golf bag is supportable in an upright position or an inclined position. A flexion line may be formed in the base to promote flexing or pivoting in a specific area, and wear elements may be added to an exterior surface of the base to impart wear-resistance.

Abstract: A restraining device for securing a child safety seat to the LATCH system anchors of an automobile includes a strap having first and second opposed ends. Respective hooks or other fasteners are connected to the opposed ends for selective attachment to respective anchors of an automobile. The restraining device includes a ratchet mechanism enabling the strap to be incrementally tightened and thus increasing tension forces between the first and second strap ends. A strain gauge is also included for visually indicating the tension forces and indicating when the straps are at safe or unsafe tension conditions.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for accurately and repeatably positioning metallic parts having variable length extrusions and shaped sheet metal in a modular die system that forms a joggle in the metallic parts. The apparatus of the present invention includes a standard joggle die system that is currently in use in the art. The apparatus further includes a movable back gage assembly that works in combination with the joggle die system to allow an operator to accurately position the workpiece between the joggle dies at a preselected position. The back gage assembly is movable in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The back gage assembly moves into a stored position away from the working area of the dies to permit the joggle to be formed in the workpiece. The back gage assembly can then move back into the working area to accurately position the next workpiece without the need for further adjustments.
