  • Publication number: 20240130124
    Abstract: An electronic device comprising a cell region comprising stacks of alternating dielectric materials and conductive materials. A pillar region is adjacent to the cell region and comprises storage node segments adjacent to adjoining oxide materials and adjacent to a tunnel region. The storage node segments are separated by a vertical portion of the tunnel region. A high-k dielectric material is adjacent to the conductive materials of the cell region and to the adjoining oxide materials of the pillar region. Additional electronic devices are disclosed, as are methods of forming an electronic device and related systems.

  • Patent number: 7032313
    Abstract: Heat exchange inefficiencies found in round tube plate fin heat exchangers are eliminated in an aluminum heat exchanger that includes first and second headers (20), (22) and at least one flattened tube (24), (70) extending between the headers (20), (22). A plurality of generally parallel tube runs are defined and each has opposite edges. A plurality of plate fins (26), (50) are arranged in a stack and each has a plurality of open ended slots (34), one for each run of the tubes (24), (70). Each of the tube runs (24), (70) is nested within corresponding slots (26) and the fins (26), (50) with one of the edges (40) of the tube runs extending outwardly of the corresponding fin (26). The assembly is brazed together.

  • Patent number: 6675883
    Abstract: An elongate manifold construction (10) having an longitudinal axis (20) is provided for use in a heat exchanger (12) having a plurality of tubes (14). The manifold construction (10) includes an elongated tank piece (3 2) and an elongated header piece (34). A plurality of embossed beads (48) having openings (50) therein that are engaged by tabs (52) spaced along the longitudinal axis (20) to maintain the tank and header pieces (32, 34) in proper alignment with each other so as to obtain a suitable bond joint therebetween during a bonding operation.
