| 20100294789 | LIQUID HOLDING SYSTEM WITH INTEGRAL STRAW - An integrated straw and container. The container includes an interior bottom surface and defines an opening near an upper portion of the container. A cap can be placed onto the container to close the container, and then removed to open the container. The straw includes a shape that operates as a spring operates to create two states: a resting or expanded state and a compressed state. In the resting state of the straw, the overall distance from the first end to the second end is greater than the distance from the interior bottom surface of the container to the opening of the container. The straw is placed into the container and the container is sealed forcing the straw into a compressed state. Upon removal of the cap, the straw returns to a resting state in which the upper end protrudes from the container opening. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20090057781 | MUGFET WITH OPTIMIZED FILL STRUCTURES - A semiconductor structure includes active multi-gate fin-type field effect transistor (MUGFET) structures and inactive MUGFET fill structures between the active MUGFET structures. The active MUGFET structures comprise transistors that change conductivity depending upon voltages within gates of the active MUGFET structures. Conversely, the inactive MUGFET fill structures comprise passive devices that do not change conductivity irrespective of voltages within gates of the inactive MUGFET fill structures. The gates of the active MUGFET structures are parallel to the gates of the inactive MUGFET fill structures, and the fins of the active MUGFET structures are the same size as the fins of the inactive MUGFET fill structures. The active MUGFET structures have the same pitch as the gates of the inactive MUGFET fill structures. The gates of the active MUGFET structures comprise active doping agents, but the inactive MUGFET fill structures do not contain the active doping agents. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090315188 | SILICON-ON-INSULATOR STRUCTURES FOR THROUGH VIA IN SILICON CARRIERS - A silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure is provided for forming through vias in a silicon wafer carrier structure without backside lithography. The SOI structure includes the silicon wafer carrier structure bonded to a silicon substrate structure with a layer of buried oxide and a layer of nitride separating these silicon structures. Vias are formed in the silicon carrier structure and through the oxide layer to the nitride layer and the walls of the via are passivated. The vias are filled with a filler material of either polysilicon or a conductive material. The substrate structure is then etched back to the nitride layer and the nitride layer is etched back to the filler material. Where the filler material is polysilicon, the polysilicon is etched away forming an open via to the top surface of the carrier wafer structure. The via is then backfilled with conductive material. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20090309853 | ELECTRONIC WHITEBOARD SYSTEM AND ASSEMBLY WITH OPTICAL DETECTION ELEMENTS - An electronic whiteboard system and assembly with optical detection elements is disclosed. The electronic whiteboard system includes a writing/display surface and a retroreflective perimeter surrounding the edge of the surface. A user can mark upon the surface or interact with an image displayed on the surface using an input device. The perimeter can reflect light beams emitted from optical detection elements located at the corners of the surface to identify the position of the input device relative to the writing surface and/or projected image. The electronic whiteboard assembly includes one or more electronic whiteboard systems coupled together with a connector element having two retroreflective surfaces. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20080199110 | Fluids container - The present invention provides a method for treating a surface of a layered polymeric structure. The method includes the steps of: (1) providing a film having a layered structure formed by adhering first and second non-molten polymeric sheets in an overlap and texturing a surface of the first or second non-molten sheets with a chill roll to form fluid pathways on a surface of the film; (2) attaching an access member to the film; and (3) forming the film into a container having a peripheral seal defining a chamber, and having the fluid pathways facing the chamber and having the fitment providing access to the chamber. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080230144 | Pumps for vacuum containers - A hand operated pump for evacuating air from a vacuum container having: (1) a barrel defining a conduit therethrough; (2) a plunger having a hand at one end and a piston at the opposite end, the plunger mounted within the barrel and capable of moving reciprocatingly within the plunger; (3) a cap closing a first end of the barrel and having an opening to receive and guide the plunger; and (4) an adapter connected to a second end of the barrel for engaging a valve on a vacuum container. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080230429 | One way valve for fluid evacuation from a container - The present invention provides a container assembly having: (1) a flexible wall defining fluid tight chamber; (2) a valve body attached to the flexible; (3) a plunger associated with the valve body and moveable with respect to the valve body from a first position to a second position; and (4) a diaphragm positioned in the valve body for opening and closing the valve. | 09-25-2008 |
