20080246019 | DEFECT REDUCTION BY OXIDATION OF SILICON - A method of fabricating high-quality, substantially relaxed SiGe-on-insulator substrate materials which may be used as a template for strained Si is described. A silicon-on-insulator substrate with a very thin top Si layer is used as a template for compressively strained SiGe growth. Upon relaxation of the SiGe layer at a sufficient temperature, the nature of the dislocation motion is such that the strain-relieving defects move downward into the thin Si layer when the buried oxide behaves semi-viscously. The thin Si layer is consumed by oxidation of the buried oxide/thin Si interface. This can be accomplished by using internal oxidation at high temperatures. In this way the role of the original thin Si layer is to act as a sacrificial defect sink during relaxation of the SiGe alloy that can later be consumed using internal oxidation. | 10-09-2008 |

20090125074 | MODULAR MEDICAL DEVICE, BASE UNIT AND MODULE THEREOF, AND AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED), METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING AND USING THE AED - A modular automated external defibrillator (AED) system includes a base unit and at least one interconnected module. The base unit typically includes a functional circuit and includes an interface that couples the functional circuit to the module. Likewise, the module includes an interface that couples the module to the base unit By manufacturing such modular AED models instead of one-piece, i.e., integrated, AED models, a manufacturer can reduce the cost and complexity of its manufacturing process. Furthermore, the manufacturer may be able to bring such a modular AED to market more quickly than it could bring an integrated model of the AED to market. Moreover, a modular AED allows the manufacturer and customer flexibility in respectively providing and selecting feature sets. In addition, a customer can obtain replacements for broken modules, and the manufacturer can provide cheaper upgrades by upgrading a module or base unit instead of upgrading the entire AED. | 05-14-2009 |

20090297330 | Blade clearance arrangement - Control of blade clearance gaps between rotating turbine blades and an associated casing in a gas turbine engine is important in order to maintain operational efficiency. It is desirable to achieve accurate gap control but previous passive and scheduled thermal gap adjustment systems have been relatively course. By provision of a winding through which a specific electrical current is passed in order to create electro-magnetic force for displacement of an armature associated with a seal forming part of the casing it is possible to adjust the gap between that seal and a tip part of a rotating blade assembly. Normally a blade gap monitoring technique is used in association with specific operational requirements with respect to the gap by the control in order to determine the electrical current presented to the winding. As a fail-safe measure a permanent magnet or bias or some other form can be provided to ensure displacement to a fail-safe position with an adequate blade gap clearance for continued operation should there be power failure or an excess electrical current presented to the winding. | 12-03-2009 |
