20090127607SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING A TCAM HAVING A STORAGE ELEMENT FORMED WITH A DRAM - In order to improve the discharging speed of potential from a match line, a semiconductor device includes a capacitor, a memory transistor having a source/drain region connected to a storage node of the capacitor, a search transistor having a gate electrode connected to the storage node, and a stacked contact connecting a match line and the source/drain region of the search transistor. The storage node has a configuration in which a sidewall of the storage node facing the match line partially recedes away from the stacked contact such that a portion of the sidewall in front of the stacked contact in plan view along the direction of the match line is located farther away from the stacked contact than the remaining portion of the sidewall.05-21-2009

20110119684Combining Interfaces Of Shell Applications And Sub-applications - A system comprises storage that includes a shell application and a sub-application that is adapted to provide a functionality to the shell application. The system also comprises processing logic coupled to the storage and adapted to execute the shell application and the sub-application. The processing logic generates a first graphical user interface (GUI) using the sub-application and generates a second GUI using the shell application. The processing logic displays on a display the first GUI superimposed onto the second GUI. The processing logic captures input provided using the first GUI and provides the input to the sub-application.05-19-2011

20100018915FLUID FILTER WITH POLYMERIC MEMBRANE AND METAL SUPPORTS - The present invention provides a fluid filter utilizing a polymeric membrane supports by metallic screens contained in a housing. The supports have apertures through which fluid can pass. The metallic supports are created such that they have at least one surface substantially free from burrs, so as not to damage the membrane. This smooth surface is in communication with the polymeric membrane. One or more indexing protrusions can be added along the circumference to restrict the relative movement between the supports, and to align the apertures of the two supports.01-28-2010

20080197496Semiconductor device having at least two layers of wirings stacked therein and method of manufacturing the same - A semiconductor device according to the present invention is a semiconductor device having a first wiring formed in a first insulating layer and a second wiring formed in a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer and the first wiring. Here, at least one of the first wiring and the second wiring is a CuAl wiring. The second wiring is electrically connected to the first wiring at its via-plug portion, with a plurality of barrier layers interposed between the second wiring and the first wiring. In the barrier layers, a CuAl-contact barrier layer which is in contact with the CuAl wiring has a nitrogen atom content of less than 10 atomic %. Therefore, the present semiconductor device has high reliability and small variations in initial via resistance value.08-21-2008
