Patent number: 8932081Abstract: A connector includes a shield that supports a housing. The housing includes a tongue that extends in a mating region defined by the shield. The tongue includes grooves (which may be on both sides of the shield) that support a plurality of terminals. The grooves each include a retention feature that secures the terminal in the groove while allowing a mating terminal to engage the terminals in the grooves without first engage the tongue.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2009Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Michael R. Kamarauskas, Shantha Kumar Sambhandam Palani, Chui Ngor Wong, Fook Onn Chong, Ser-Kiat Toh

Patent number: 7950937Abstract: A card connector essentially includes an insulation body, a metal shell and an ejection lever. The insulation body includes a pair of two guide arms formed at two sides of the insulation body, a plurality of conductive terminals and an ejection apparatus formed at one of the two guide arms. The metal shell is engaged with the insulation body for receiving a card. The ejection lever is pivotally attached to an inner surface of the metal shell thereby forming a pivot mechanism, and operatively connected to the ejection apparatus such that the ejection lever rotates around the pivot mechanism when the ejection apparatus is actuated. The metal shell includes an integrally formed bulge protruding from the metal shell, and the bulge is formed in the vicinity of the pivot mechanism so as to reinforce the strength and rigidity of the metal shell.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Shantha Kumar Sambhandam Palani, Nagesh Kestur Nagarajan

Patent number: 5202272Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor structure comprising the steps of: providing a body of semiconductor material including at least one generally planar surface; forming a mesa having at least one generally vertical wall over the planar surface; forming a layer of material generally conformally over the mesa and the planar surface so as to form a vertical spacer on the vertical wall; forming a protective mask selectively on the upper portion of the vertical spacer; and using the protective mask to etch and remove the unmasked portions of the layer of material and the mesa while leaving the vertical spacer.The process is used to form an FET by forming a gate insulating layer underneath of the vertical spacer, the vertical spacer being selected to comprise a conductive gate material such as doped polysilicon. The vertical gate structure is then used as a mask to dope the source and drain regions.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1991Date of Patent: April 13, 1993Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chang-Ming Hsieh, Louis L.
