20110084362Active Diode Having No Gate and No Shallow Trench Isolation - An active diode with fast turn-on time, low capacitance, and low turn-on resistance may be manufactured without a gate and without a shallow trench isolation region between doped regions of the diode. A short conduction path in the active diode allows a fast turn-on time, and a lack of gate oxide reduces susceptibility of the active diode to extreme voltages. The active diode may be implemented in integrated circuits to prevent and reduce damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. Manufacturing the active diode is accomplished by depositing a salicide block between doped regions of the diode before salicidation. After the salicide layers are formed on the doped regions, the salicide block is removed.04-14-2011
20120074496Diode Having A Pocket Implant Blocked And Circuits And Methods Employing Same - Diodes, including gated diodes and shallow trench isolation (STI) diodes, manufacturing methods, and related circuits are provided without at least one halo or pocket implant thereby reducing capacitance of the diode. In this manner, the diode may be used in circuits and other devices having performance sensitive to load capacitance while still obtaining the performance characteristics of the diode. Such characteristics for a gated diode include fast turn-on times and high conductance, making the gated diodes well-suited for electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuits as one example. Diodes include a semiconductor substrate having a well region and insulating layer thereupon. A gate electrode is formed over the insulating layer. Anode and cathode regions are provided in the well region. A P-N junction is formed. At least one pocket implant is blocked in the diode to reduce capacitance.03-29-2012

20100171832REAR-VIEW DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR A BICYCLE - A display system for a bicycle is disclosed that comprises a camera selectively attachable to the bicycle and a display unit fixable to the handlebars of the bicycle. The camera includes a power source and a signaling means adapted for sending visual scene information from the camera, either wirelessly or through a plurality of conductive cables. The display unit includes a display means, a power source, and a signal receiving means. The signal receiving means is adapted for receiving the visual scene information of the signaling means so that the display unit may display the visual scene information on the display means.07-08-2010

20120124664DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD CONTENT IN A USER-PROVIDED CONTENT SYSTEM - A system differentiates good content from bad content in a user-provided content system. Messages are analyzed for features that characterize messages. A feature may occur in one or more messages. A feature that has more than a threshold number of occurrences in messages in a time interval is identified for further analysis. Enhanced authentication is requested from senders of the messages with occurrences of the identified feature. Based on the rate at which senders of the messages pass authentication, the content associated with the message is determined to be good content or bad content. Subsequent messages are blocked or successfully delivered based on whether features occurring in the messages are indicative of good content or bad content.05-17-2012
