Abstract: A garment can include a pocket to hold a removable electronic device. The electronic device can sense body core temperature, heart rate, skin conductivity, blood oxygen level, and geo-spatial location of the wearer, and transmit this data wirelessly to a mapping application. A viewer of the application can track the location and the health status of the wearer. A leader at a search and rescue command post can easily monitor both the location and well-being of personnel through the mapping application while they are on a mission. An algorithm on the backend can determine a health status color based on the sensor data. The pocket design facilitates insertion and removal of the electronics, and ensures that sensors are positioned at optimal locations on the body.

Abstract: An isolation structure prevents inter-device and intra-device leakage in first and second adjacent semiconductor devices in a substrate. The first and second semiconductor devices each include a gate region and at least one active region. A first channel stop region is configured to surround the first semiconductor device. A second channel stop region is configured to surround the second semiconductor device. A first field plate is located above at least part of the first channel stop region, and overlaps the gate region of the first semiconductor device in a first overlap region. A second field plate is located above at least part of the second channel stop region, and overlaps the gate region of the second semiconductor device in a second overlap region.

Abstract: An induction heating apparatus includes a susceptor defining a reaction chamber. A housing is spaced from the susceptor opposite the reaction chamber and defines a port. A void space is defined between the housing and the susceptor. An induction coil extends through the port and is disposed within the void space for conducting an electric current to heat the susceptor to heat the reaction chamber. A flange comprises a metal material and is coupled to the housing at the port for sealing the port with the induction coil extending through the flange. An isolator is disposed between the flange and the housing to prevent the electric current from passing into the housing.

Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus deposits material on a carrier body. The manufacturing apparatus includes a housing defining a chamber. The housing defines an inlet for introducing a deposition composition, which comprises the material or a precursor thereof, into the chamber. The housing also defines an outlet through the housing for exhausting the deposition composition from the chamber. An electrode is disposed through the housing with the electrode at least partially disposed within the chamber. A socket has an exterior surface and is connected to the electrode within the chamber for receiving the carrier body. A release coating is disposed on the exterior surface of the socket for promoting separation of the socket from the carrier body, and the material deposited thereon, to harvest the carrier body.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing, inter alia, olefins from refinery saturated and unsaturated off-gas. Furthermore, said refinery streams are not required to undergo deoxygenation reaction in a separate reactor system provided they are fed to the pyrolysis furnace. The refinery off-gases are treated to produce olefins such as ethylene and propylene. Gases from petrochemical facilities, gas separation plants and similar facilities that produce light gases containing ethane and propane are useful in the present method.

Advantageously, memory devices with the advantageous pseudo-spin valve configuration can be fabricated without cobalt-iron and without anti-ferromagnetic layers, thereby promoting switching repeatability.

Abstract: A magnetic bit structure for a magneto-resistive memory is disclosed that has bit ends that are sufficiently large to accommodate a minimum size contact or via hole. By providing such an arrangement, the magnetic bit structure may be fabricated using conventional contact and/or via processing steps. As such, the cost of manufacturing the device may be reduced, and the overall achievable yield may be increased.

Abstract: A device and method of manufacture for a low capacitance overvoltage protection device. This is accomplished through the use of PiN diodes to shunt overvoltage away from internal circuit elements. PiN diodes are useful because they exhibit a low capacitance in reverse bias mode. Radio frequency integrated circuits and other integrated circuits operated at high frequency are sensitive to capacitance. This invention protects against circuit damage due to overvoltage events while keeping capacitance low through the use of PiN diodes.
