| 20090222672 | Integrated Circuit That Uses A Dynamic Characteristic Of The Circuit - An integrated circuit has a first component that has a dynamic characteristic that varies among like integrated circuits, for example, among integrated circuits fabricated using the same lithography mask. Operating the first component produces an output that is dependent on the dynamic characteristic of the first component. A digital value associated with the integrated circuit is generated using the output of the first component, and then the generated digital value is used in operation of the integrated circuit. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20090113687 | Precise hand-assembly of microfabricated components - A hand assembled MEMS apparatus includes meso-scale microfabricated components adapted for being moved by hand relative to one another from a loose-fit preliminary alignment orientation to a relatively tight-fit assembled orientation. A microfabricated spring member is integrally disposed on one of the components to bias the other component towards the assembled orientation. A cam surface disposed on the other component is configured to slidably engage and move the spring member against its bias upon continued hand movement in the assembly direction. A microfabricated abutment is disposed to limit relative movement of the components in at least one direction other than the assembly direction. A microfabricated tactile feedback member is configured to disrupt the hand movement in the assembly direction once the components have substantially reached the assembled orientation. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20100188457 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE OF AN ELECTRICALLY-HEATED DISCHARGE NOZZLE - In an embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for fault monitoring and controlling operation of a discharge nozzle in a large array of discharge nozzles. An exemplary apparatus includes a thin, thermally conductive membrane, with an integrated thin-film electrical heater. When a fixed voltage is applied to the heater, and as the heater heats, the resistance of the heater will increase which will cause a concomitant decrease in the electrical current flowing through the heater. By measuring the resistance of the heater it can readily be determined whether the device is functioning properly. | 07-29-2010 |

| 20110293818 | Method and Apparatus for Depositing A Film Using A Rotating Source - The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for depositing a substantially solid film onto a substrate. The solid film can be an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (“OLED”). In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to using a material supply, a rotating or moving mechanism having at least one transfer surface which is supplied with film material in one orientation and delivers film material to the substrate at a second orientation such that film material delivered to the substrate deposits in substantially solid form. The delivery to the substrate can be performed without the transfer surface materially contacting the substrate. The film material can be deposited on the transfer surface in either solid form or in liquid form (e.g., as a mixture of carrier liquid and dissolved or suspended film material). | 12-01-2011 |
