  • Patent number: 7039340
    Abstract: A drum cover or protector includes features that allow it to be used with substantially any xerographic device cartridge designed to be used in a xerographic device adapted to handle standard paper sizes. The drum protector may be secured to the cartridge in a protecting position. In this position, the protector covers the drum and blocks objects from coming into contact with the drum surface. The drum protector also includes an arrangement that prevents any critical part of the drum surface from coming into contact with the cover itself.

  • Patent number: 6794282
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor device including a conductor formed thereon. A dielectric layer is formed over the conductor and a recess is formed in the dielectric layer by removing a portion of the dielectric layer to expose at least a portion of the conductor. A first layer of aluminum is deposited over the top surface of the dielectric, along the sidewalls of the dielectric layer and over the exposed portion of the conductor without altering the temperature of the semiconductor device. A second layer of aluminum is deposited over the first layer of aluminum at a temperature greater than about 300° C. A third layer of aluminum is deposited over the second layer of aluminum so as to completely fill the recess in the dielectric layer. The third layer of aluminum is slow deposited at a temperature greater than about 300° C.
