  • Patent number: 6776407
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for stacking objects in a stack. The objects may be flat flexible objects with front and back edges being narrower than side walls. Accordingly, the objects may comprise mail pieces. Per the invention, the mail pieces are directed to a stacker. The stacker comprises an impact wall with abutting installation and limiting walls. Accordingly, the stack may be formed therebetween with the installation wall being urged towards the limiting wall so as to sandwich the stack. At least one diverter element or vain is included upstream from the stacker. A roller of a conveying element is positioned upstream from the upper most vain. An object is directed towards the impact wall. When the objects leading edge impacts the wall, the vain or roller closest to the trailing portion of the object causes the trailing portion to be urged towards the stack. The vains may be pivoted while the roller made to turn in a select manner.

  • Patent number: 6465370
    Abstract: A method for reducing a capacitance formed on a silicon substrate includes the step of introducing hydrogen atoms into a portion of said surface to increase the dielectric constant of such portion of the surface increasing the effective thickness of the dielectric material and hence reducing said capacitance. The method includes the step of forming the silicon dioxide layer with a thickness greater than two nanometers. The step of introducing hydrogen includes forming hydrogen atoms in the surface with concentrations of 1017 atoms per cubic centimeter, or greater. In one embodiment the hydrogen atoms are introduced by baking in hydrogen at a temperature of 950° C. to 1100° C. and pressure greater than 100 Torr. A trench capacitor DRAM cell is provided wherein the hydrogen provides a passivation layer to increase the effective capacitance around a collar region and thereby reduce unwanted transistor action.
