Abstract: A system for disposing debris from a receptacle, such as a sink, where a fluid source and disposal are operatively coupled for ease of use. The system allows, for example, a user to press a single button or activate a switch to simultaneously activate the disposal and water flow for a predetermined period of time. The system can also include rinse down piping to better flush the debris into the drain of the receptacle and toward the disposal.

Abstract: An artificial nail has a nail platform, an electroluminescence material connected to the nail platform, and an electric circuit electrically connected to the electroluminescence material. The electroluminescence material is preferably an electroluminescent film or other material that becomes luminous upon application of alternating current. When an electroluminescent film is used, the electric circuit preferably includes a driver module that provides sufficient alternating current to drive the electroluminescent film.

Abstract: In one embodiment, active diffusion junctions of a solar cell are formed by diffusing dopants from dopant sources selectively deposited on the back side of a wafer. The dopant sources may be selectively deposited using a printing method, for example. Multiple dopant sources may be employed to form active diffusion regions of varying doping levels. For example, three or four active diffusion regions may be fabricated to optimize the silicon/dielectric, silicon/metal, or both interfaces of a solar cell. The front side of the wafer may be textured prior to forming the dopant sources using a texturing process that minimizes removal of wafer material. Openings to allow metal gridlines to be connected to the active diffusion junctions may be formed using a self-aligned contact opening etch process to minimize the effects of misalignments.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods store data in a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) in a fast and efficient manner. Embodiments advantageously decrease the number of clock cycles required to store data by eliminating at least one wait state in a transition from a read state to a write state. Embodiments advantageously enhance the throughput of the MRAM and a related digital circuit, such as a computer system, which advantageously enhances the operating speed of the digital circuit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, harmful solar cell polarization is prevented or minimized by providing a conductive path that bleeds charge from a front side of a solar cell to the bulk of a wafer. The conductive path may include patterned holes in a dielectric passivation layer, a conductive anti-reflective coating, or layers of conductive material formed on the top or bottom surface of an anti-reflective coating, for example. Harmful solar cell polarization may also be prevented by biasing a region of a solar cell module on the front side of the solar cell.

Abstract: A magneto-resistive memory that has a shared word line and sense line is disclosed. By providing the shared word line and sense line, the number of relatively large drivers required to drive the word line and sense line currents can be reduced. This reduces the peripheral overhead of the memory, and may increase the overall density and reduce the overall power of the memory.

Abstract: A redundancy scheme for a memory is disclosed that is programmable both before and after the memory device is packaged and/or installed in a system. This is preferably accomplished by using programmable non-volatile memory elements to control the replacement circuitry. Because the programmable memory elements are non-volatile, the desired replacement configuration is not lost during shipping, or if power is lost in a system. By allowing post-packaging replacement of defective memory elements, the overall yield of the device may be improved. By allowing post system installation replacement of defective memory elements, the reliability of many systems may be improved. In addition, the disclosed redundancy scheme allows two or more defective memory elements from different rows or columns to be replaced with memory elements from a single redundant low or column. This provides added flexibility during the replacement process.
