  • Publication number: 20240088143
    Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures without fin end gaps, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures without fin end gaps, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin having a cut along a length of the semiconductor fin. A gate endcap isolation structure has a first portion parallel with the length of the semiconductor fin and is spaced apart from the semiconductor fin. The gate endcap isolation structure also has a second portion in a location of the cut of the semiconductor fin and in contact with the semiconductor fin.

  • Patent number: 9300101
    Abstract: Improved electric cable swivel assemblies and related fabrication methods are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved electric cable swivel assemblies configured to reduce entanglement of swimming pool cleaner power cables, and related cable swivel fabrication methods. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for a electric cable swivel assembly including a swivel body/housing that is configured and dimensioned to mount with respect to a first cable and a second cable. The swivel body/housing is configured to provide a continuous electrical contact between the first and second cables, wherein the first and second cables are generally axially rotatable relative to each other. Methods of overmolding and/or otherwise fabricating the swivel are disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 7396349
    Abstract: In an absorbent structure for an absorbent article, a non-woven absorbent core extends from one longitudinal end region of the absorbent structure through a central region thereof to an opposite longitudinal end region of the absorbent structure. The absorbent core has a first face, a second face opposite the first face, and laterally opposite side edges. A liquid permeable wrapsheet is wrapped about the first face, the laterally opposite side edges and at least a portion of the second face of the absorbent core to define a wrapped configuration of the wrapsheet. Tbe wrapsheet is constructed of a non-woven material and is secured in its wrapped configuration about the absorbent core at at least one securement region having a length substantially less than the length of the absorbent structure.

  • Patent number: 7285178
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for making an absorbent structure, an absorbent core and a wrapsheet are arranged in an unwrapped configuration with a first face of the absorbent core facing a first face of the wrapsheet, and with the absorbent core disposed laterally between laterally opposite side margins of the wrapsheet such that the side margins of the wrapsheet extend laterally outward beyond the side edges of the absorbent core. Gas is directed to flow over the first and second faces of the wrapsheet at the lateral side margins thereof in a direction which moves the lateral side margins of the wrapsheet from the unwrapped configuration around the side edges of the absorbent core and over at least a portion of the second face of the absorbent core to define a wrapped configuration of the wrapsheet.

  • Patent number: 6846448
    Abstract: A method for forming a stabilized airlaid layer (86) can include an airforming of a substantially unbonded fibrous layer (66) which includes absorbent fibers and binder-fibers. The fibrous layer (66) is exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic energy during a distinctively short activation period to activate the binder-fibers to provide the stabilized, airlaid layer (86). In a particular aspect the activation period can be not more than about 3 sec.

  • Publication number: 20020194094
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing financials products to customers. Preferably, a financial product is provided to a customer in association with one or more other financial products. The financial products may correspond to different product categories and may be particularly adapted or suited according to a customer's financial needs. In addition, different product combinations may be offered to customers. For example, a financial product for investing or generating income (such as a savings account, a money market account or a CD account) may be provided in association with a financial product for conducting financial transactions (such as a loan, a mortgage or a credit card account). Additionally, one financial product may be used as security for another financial product of the customer. The financial products may also be structured to maximize the total return and/or utility received by the customer.

  • Publication number: 20020152124
    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the present invention address the need to more conveniently and efficiently transfer value to a card issuer. Specifically, in systems and methods consistent with the invention, funds to be applied as a payment to an account are received at a point-of-sale location from a cardholder. These funds may include cash, check, credit card, money order, cashier's check, or other cash equivalent. A transaction message, indicating a payment transaction and a payment amount, is sent from the point-of-sale location to the card issuer. The card issuer then verifies the account information indicated in the transaction message. When the point-of-sale location then receives an indication that the payment amount was applied to the account, the point-of-sale location forwards the payment to the card issuer.
