20120123460 | TROCAR - A trocar is described. The trocar is formed of a biocompatible material, such as but not limited to stainless steel. Accordingly, the trocar is reusable for a relatively large number of surgical procedures assuming conventional sterilization techniques are employed after each surgical procedure. Additionally, the trocar is provided with an angled blade design formed on a distal portion of the trocar shaft. More specifically, the blade design includes a first portion extending substantially co-planar to a proximal portion of the tip portion of the trocar shaft and a second portion extending angularly inwardly towards a distal portion of the tip portion of the trocar shaft. | 05-17-2012 |
20130289600 | OPTICAL OBTURATOR SYSTEM - An optical obturator system is described. The optical obturator system includes a transparent window member provided on a distal tip portion of the obturator shaft, thus permitting the surgeon to visualize the tissue of the patient (e.g., via an imaging system positioned near the window member). One or more major portions of the optical obturator system may be formed of a biocompatible material, such as but not limited to stainless steel. Accordingly, the optical obturator system may be reusable for a relatively large number of surgical procedures. | 10-31-2013 |

20080268628 | N-TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENT WITH IMPROVED DOPANT IMPLANTATION PROFILE AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME - The disclosure relates to a method of forming an n-type doped active area on a semiconductor substrate that presents an improved placement profile. The method comprises the placement of arsenic in the presence of a carbon-containing arsenic diffusion suppressant in order to reduce the diffusion of the arsenic out of the target area during heat-induced annealing. The method may additionally include the placement of an amorphizer, such as germanium, in the target area in order to reduce channeling of the arsenic ions through the crystalline lattice. The method may also include the use of arsenic in addition to another n-type dopant, e.g. phosphorus, in order to offset some of the disadvantages of a pure arsenic dopant. The disclosure also relates to a semiconductor component, e.g. an NMOS transistor, formed in accordance with the described methods. | 10-30-2008 |
20090004803 | MULTI-STAGE IMPLANT TO IMPROVE DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS - One aspect of the inventors' concept relates to a method of forming a semiconductor device. In this method, a gate structure is formed over a semiconductor body. A source/drain mask is patterned over the semiconductor body implanted source and drain regions are formed that are associated with the gate structure. After forming the implanted source and drain regions, a multi-stage implant is performed on the source and drain regions that comprises at least two implants where the dose and energy of the first implant varies from the dose and energy of the second implant. Other methods and devices are also disclosed. | 01-01-2009 |

20130039139 | Method of Stressing Static Random Access Memories for Pass Transistor Defects - A method of stressing and screening static random access memory (SRAM) arrays to identify memory cells with bit line side pass transistor defects. After writing initial data states into the memory array under nominal bias conditions, an elevated bias voltage is applied to the memory array, for example to its power supply node. Under the elevated bias voltage, alternating data patterns are written into and read from the memory array for a selected duration. The elevated bias voltage is reduced, and a write screen is performed to identify defective memory cells. The dynamic stress of the repeated writes and reads accelerates early life failures, facilitating the write screen. | 02-14-2013 |
20130329508 | Methods And Devices For Determining Logical To Physical Mapping On An Integrated Circuit - Methods and devices for mapping logical addresses to physical locations on an integrated circuit die are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the method includes fabricating a die, where the die has a plurality of bits that are electrically accessible by way of logical addresses. A plurality of bits have known defects that form a predetermined fault pattern at a predetermined location on the die. The bits are tested by using the logical addresses, wherein the testing yields data as to the functionality of the bits. The test results are searched for the predetermined fault pattern. The physical locations of the defective bits constituting the predetermined fault pattern are correlated with their logical addresses based on the location of the predetermined fault pattern. | 12-12-2013 |

20100124760 | Zinc Test Strip and Method for the Detection of Semen - The present invention relates to a forensic test strip and method for the detection of semen. This strip is comprised of a paper element coated with reagents which react to the presence of zinc, a component of semen, and is affixed to a plastic backing to facilitate testing items without touching the highly sensitive coated portion of the strip. This assembly is exposed to a source of semen, such as a suspicious stain on a garment. A positive test is characterized by a bright pink color, which easily can be seen against the light yellow background. A positive test provides presumptive evidence of semen. | 05-20-2010 |
20100124778 | Forensic Test Strip and Method for the Detection of Semen - The present invention relates to a forensic test strip and method for the detection of semen. This strip is comprised of a paper element coated with reagents which react to the presence of acid phosphatase (AP), an enzyme found in semen, and is sandwiched between a clear plastic cover and an opaque plastic backing. This assembly is peeled apart, the paper element exposed to a source of semen, and the clear cover replaced. A positive test is characterized by a bright purple color, which easily can be seen through the clear cover. An adhesive backing is provided, which allows an investigator conveniently to affix the test strip directly to a notebook. | 05-20-2010 |
