Abstract: An ultrasound-on-a-chip device has an ultrasonic transducer substrate with plurality of transducer cells, and an electrical substrate. For each transducer cell, one or more conductive bond connections are disposed between the ultrasonic transducer substrate and the electrical substrate. Examples of electrical substrates include CMOS chips, integrated circuits including analog circuits, interposers and printed circuit boards.

Abstract: A floor for use with a glass elevator is provided. The floor includes an upper major surface, a lower major surface opposing the upper major surface, a first side edge, a second side edge, the first and second side edges extending from the upper major surface to the lower major surface. The floor includes one or more front edges and one or more rear edges. The one or more front edges and one or more rear edges extend from the upper major surface to the lower major surface. The floor is formed from a unitary, continuous, solid plate material.

Abstract: A breast implant includes an outer shell made of a polymer and a filler material disposed within the outer shell. At least one opaque marking is disposed on the outer shell. The opaque marker is visible through the skin when a light emitter emits light through the chest tissue. This allows a user to determine if the breast implant is flipped or rotated based on the location of the opaque marker.

Abstract: A sleep mask having a mask body with a central portion formed between two extension portions; an ear loop extending from each of the extension portions, wherein each ear loop is attached or coupled to the extension portion proximate terminal ends of the ear loop; and a scent diffusing area formed within each of the extension portions, wherein each of the scent diffusing areas is capable of being at least partially infused with an aroma compound.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improved file folder identification is described. The apparatus includes a file tab having a tab portion rotatably coupled to a base. In one embodiment, a file folder identification apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a base comprising a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion adapted to couple to a file folder, the second coupling portion opposing the first coupling portion, and a tab portion comprising a temporary fastener detachably and rotatably coupled to the second coupling portion and a face configured to retain identification information.

Abstract: Purging of a fuel vapor storage canister of an internal combustion engine is optimized through the provision of fuel vapor storage apparatus. A real time measurement of the fuel vapor content of the canister is enabled by providing the canister with a fuel vapor sensor located in at least one of the purge line and the fresh air port of the canister. The fuel vapor sensor is most preferably an adsorption sensitive resistor which operates on the principle of adsorption according to Vander Walls “a” constant, and the electrical resistance of the fuel vapor sensor preferably varies with respect to the fuel vapor concentration present.

Abstract: An auxiliary canister operates with a storage canister of an evaporative emissions control system to reduce the amount of fuel vapor emitted from a vehicle to very low levels. The storage canister contains a first sorbent material and has a vent port in communication therewith. The auxiliary canister comprises an enclosure, first and second passages, a heater and a connector. Inside the enclosure, a second sorbent material is in thermal contact with the heater. Attached at one end to the bottom of the enclosure, the first passage is connectable at its other end to the vent port to allow flow between the storage and auxiliary canisters. Attached at one end to a top of the enclosure, the second passage is connectable at its other end to a vent valve of the control system to allow flow between the auxiliary canister and the vent valve. Incorporated into the enclosure, the connector is used to convey electrical power from the vehicle to the heater.

Abstract: A fuel vapor storage canister having a leak-proof screen assembly between a mass of carbon granules in the storage canister and a purge port of the storage canister. The fuel vapor storage canister includes a cup-shaped plastic body, an integral partition which divides the canister body into a pair of relatively deep carbon bed chambers, and a plenum in the canister body at an end of one of the carbon bed chambers which is connected to the purge port and which is covered by the leak-proof screen assembly. The leak-proof screen assembly includes a plastic frame ultrasonically welded to the canister body and a flat fabric screen having a peripheral edge insert molded to the plastic frame.
