Abstract: A vertical gallium nitride (GaN) PN diode uses epitaxial growth of a thick drift region with a very low carrier concentration and a carefully designed multi-zone junction termination extension to achieve high voltage blocking and high-power efficiency. An exemplary large area (1 mm2) diode had a forward pulsed current of 3.5 A, an 8.3 m?-cm2 specific on-resistance, and a 5.3 kV reverse breakdown. A smaller area diode (0.063 mm2) was capable of 6.4 kV breakdown with a specific on-resistance of 10.2 m?-cm2, when accounting for current spreading through the drift region at a 45° angle.

Abstract: A composition and method for treating epidermal wounds utilizes an aqueous solution of sodium sulphate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and ichthammol.

Abstract: A puppet rug that resembles a skinned animal, human, or an imaginary character. The head of which can be manipulated so as to mimic an animal, a human, or an imaginary character. The head is lined and stuffed to keep its shape when it is in use as a puppet. The body is lined, but not stuffed. It has a large surface area so that a child can play on it, sleep on it, sit on it, and wrap himself in it. It is designed to provide visual and tactile stimulation. It may be used as a toy, a puppet, or as a decorative object. It may be used in the treatment of tactually defensive children to overcome their fears of being touched. Its large surface area facilitates the development of good feelings needed to produce the treatment goal.
