Abstract: A radiation hardened static memory cell, methods of manufacture and design structures are provided. The method includes forming one or more first gate stacks and second gate stacks on a substrate. The method further includes providing a shallow implant process for the one or more first gate stacks such that diffusion regions of the one or more first gate stacks are non-butted junction regions. The method further includes providing a deep implant process for the one or more second gates stack such that diffusions regions of the one or more second gate stacks are butted junction regions.

Abstract: An analog to a gravitational force field is generated mathematically to operate between a displayed selection pointer and a graphical user interface (GUI) widget. Under this scheme, the widget has an associated mass value m that is user selectable. To select the mass value, the user can trigger an event, such as a predefined mouse click or pop-up menu, that presents a user interface for entering the widget mass value. By varying the mass value of the widget, a user can vary the effective force boundary surrounding the widget on a display screen, and thus, vary the degree of interaction between the widget and selection pointer.

Abstract: A pre-selection indicator for a graphical user interface (GUI) widget is displayed when a selection pointer is moved within a field of influence associated with the GUI widget on a display screen. The field of influence for the widget extends beyond the visual display area of the widget. To determine the field of influence, an analog to a gravitational force field is generated mathematically to operate between the displayed selection pointer and the widget. The pre-selection indicator can be a visual aura associated with the displayed widget, or the displayed widget can be visually enlarged to the boundary of the field of influence surrounding the widget.

Abstract: On a display screen, the visual size of a graphical user interface (GUI) widget is scaled based on the distance between the GUI widget and a displayed selection pointer, such as an arrow pointer controlled by a mouse. As the selection pointer is moved toward or away from the widget, the widget changes size. This permits the widget to display additional information, such as icon text, as a user moves a selection pointer closer to the widget.

Abstract: The invention describes methods for locating a treatment device disposed within a living body by means of magnetic fields that are produced by Barkhausen jumps, principally from amorphous tag wires with high permeability that exhibit reentrant flux reversal. When wires of this type are attached to concealed treatment devices such as catheters, interrogation or scanning of the tag wire by a low frequency ac magnetic field affords an accurate means for locating the treatment devices using a sensor coil to detect the magnetic field signal from the wire locating tag. The strength of the field detected by the position of a sensor coil with respect to the locator tag is used to determine the location of the tag. A favorable signal to noise detection ration is obtained as the signal emitted by the wire is at a very high frequency compared to that of the frequency of the interrogation field.
