Abstract: A semi-manually operated stimulus delivery mechanism incorporating various timing, measuring, counting and visual signal devices which control according to preset criteria, inflation and deflation of an air-filled oral exercise prosthesis.

Abstract: In an oxide isolated semiconductor structure having an epitaxial layer formed on a monocrystalline substrate, a buried, laterally extending PN isolation junction in said structure, and oxidized isolation regions extending through said epitaxial layer to said PN isolation junction, thereby to form a plurality of electrically isolated pockets of semiconductor material, a dopant is located in those regions of the semiconductor material directly adjacent the oxidized isolation regions to prevent unwanted current flow called "channeling." The region formed by this dopant is often referred to as the field predeposition region. Typically, to form the field predeposition region, a selected dopant is placed in the exposed surface regions of the epitaxial semiconductor material just prior to the formation of the oxidized isolation regions.
