20100090198 | Nanowire Field Effect Junction Diode - A nanowire field effect junction diode constructed on an insulating transparent substrate that allows form(s) of radiation such as visual light, ultraviolet radiation; or infrared radiation to pass. A nanowire is disposed on the insulating transparent substrate. An anode is connected to a first end of the nanowire and a cathode is connected to the second end of the nanowire. An oxide layer covers the nanowire. A first conducting gate is disposed on top of the oxide layer adjacent with a non-zero separation to the anode. A second conducting gate is disposed on top of the oxide layer adjacent with a non-zero separation to the cathode and adjacent with a non-zero separation the first conducting gate. A controllable PN junction may be dynamically formed along the nanowire channel by applying opposite gate voltages. Radiation striking the nanowire through the substrate creates a current the anode and cathode. | 04-15-2010 |

20130147562 | MEASURING BIAS TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY INDUCED RING OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY DEGRADATION - A method establishes an initial voltage in a ring oscillator and a logic circuit of an integrated circuit device. Following this, the method enables the operating state of the ring oscillator. After enabling the operating state of the ring oscillator, the method steps up to a stressing voltage in the ring oscillator. The initial voltage is approximately one-half the stressing voltage. The stressing voltage creates operating-level stress within the ring oscillator. The method measures the operating-level frequency within the ring oscillator using an oscilloscope (after stepping up to the stressing voltage). | 06-13-2013 |

20120240400 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ROTOGRAVURE CYLINDERS WITH ALUMINUM BASE - The present invention describes a method for manufacturing rotogravure cylinders with a cylinder base made of a light weight material like aluminum. The method involves the surface treatment of the cylinder with mechanical means, the copper plating in an appropriate solution, the engraving of the cylinder, and the hardening of the cylinder by chromium plating. The advantage of this method is that the chemical treatment for the preparation of the cylinder surface which generates hazardous waste is replaced by a mechanical process. In addition, the reduction of the cylinder weight considerably (e.g. for aluminum base cylinder the weight reduction is two thirds of the weight of a steel base cylinder) reduces significantly the transportation costs. Moreover, the adhesion of the copper layer to be engraved is improved and the cost and time of manufacturing reduced. | 09-27-2012 |

20150259817 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ROTOGRAVURE CYLINDERS - The present invention describes a method for manufacturing rotogravure cylinders with a cylinder base made of aluminum. The method involves the coating of the cylinder surface with high velocity spraying, the copper plating in an appropriate solution, the engraving of the cylinder, and the hardening of the cylinder by chromium plating. The spraying process is accomplished by High-Velocity Air-Fuel or High-Velocity Oxygen-Fuel thermal spraying which leads to less surface porosity, better adhesion of the copper substrate and better dimensional accuracy. The advantage of this method is the elimination of the surface roughening process and the elimination of the preplating process. In addition, the end plates are manufactured partly from aluminum and partly from steel which further reduces the total weight of the cylinder. The elimination of these processes reduces the weight of the cylinder and the overall manufacturing time considerably. | 09-17-2015 |
