Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention provides unique structure for connecting between a storage capacitor and a transfer device in a memory cell and a method for fabricating the same. The preferred embodiment of the present invention forms a capacitor structure having a “lip” at its top on the side the connection is to be made. To form the connection, dopant is diffused from the lower surface of the capacitor step and into the substrate, forming a surface strap to connect between the storage capacitor and the transfer device. This surface strap has the advantage of being self aligned with the storage capacitor and the transfer device, facilitating higher memory cell densities. The present invention can be used to form connections between storage capacitors and memory cells in a wide variety of devices.

Abstract: An apparatus for refurbishing a belt, the latter having a width, a length and a degraded surface. The apparatus includes a frame, a grinding roller for selectively and uniformly removing a determined amount of the degraded surface along the belt width, and a positioning member to keep the belt in position during refurbishment, both the roller and the positioning member are mounted on the frame adjacent to each other. The grinding roller defines a helical grinding region thereof and a substantially complementary helical non-grinding region thereof. The positioning member has a belt abutment member spacedly positioned relative to the grinding roller to abuttingly retain the belt against the roller and a belt tensioning member to tension the belt in either side of the roller in the displacement direction of the belt.

Abstract: A molding machine for machining workpieces of wood or plastic material has a transport path for transporting workpieces in a transport direction and adjustable spindles arranged sequentially in the transport direction on the transport path. Tools are fixedly connected on the spindles. Adjusting elements are drivingly connected to the spindles. First indicator devices are coupled to the adjusting elements and indicate a position of the spindles relative to a reference point of the machine, respectively. At least one data storage device is connected to the indicator devices and configured to save position data of the spindles and to allow retrieval of the position data of the spindles.

Abstract: A surface planer for planing wooden boards is provided having a motor and an associated rotary cutter head operatively driven thereby in a feed roller positioned adjacent the rotary cutter head for moving wooden boards to the plane relative to the cutter. A multi-stage chain transmission is interposed between the motor and the feed roller; the multi-stage transmission including a dual speed stage is provided with an operator actuated speed selector element which enables the operator to vary the final drive ratio and the resulting speed of the feed roller between a high and low speed.

Abstract: It is made possible to conduct writing and erasing information at high speed with a low gate voltage, to attain high integration with reduced power dissipation and to retain information accurately. A barrier layer, a transition layer, a barrier layer, a transition layer, a barrier layer, a charge accumulation layer and a barrier layer are stacked one after another on a conduction layer to cause transition of charges in the conduction layer to the charge accumulation layer by resonance tunneling. The conduction layer, the transition layers, and the charge accumulation layer are respectively made of Si. The barrier layers are respectively made of SiO2 so that electron affinity is made large and small alternately between those layers. Each capacitance respectively of the barrier layers is made smaller than e2/kBT so that charge transition does not occur according to the Coulomb blockade effect even if a voltage within a predetermined range is applied.
