| 20090222361 | DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A data management system may include computer code to receive data that may include financial data and related data. The computer code may store the data in a database. The financial data may include data not tracked by a general ledger, such as contractual commitments, operating leases, head count, environmental incidents, lost time, disposal of operations, etc. The financial data may be applicable to different business units. The computer code may be configured to permit access to, entry of, and sign-off on the data only by users granted authority to do so. The financial data may include different data categories, and the data management system may be configured to use a different workflow to manage the data based on the data category of the financial data. The computer code may generate reports from the data retrieved from the database. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20100064358 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING INFORMATION - A method and apparatus are provided for managing system identification information for workforce members such as employees, contractors and consultants that are affiliated with a business entity such as a corporation. The method and apparatus provide for the association of system identification information of a workforce member with each such workforce member in memory and further provides a review process of the same information by the relevant workforce member and one or more of the workforce member's supervisors. The review process allows each of the workforce member and the applicable supervisor(s) to confirm and, in some instances, reject the system identification information as being valid or not valid. The method and apparatus further maintains the review status of the workforce member and the applicable supervisor(s) and in one embodiment, provides for an audit of the same so that any discrepancies in the reviews are brought to light. | 03-11-2010 |

| 20100038682 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH IMPROVED OHMIC CONTACT - In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to an electronic device successively comprising from its base to its surface: (a) a support layer, (b) a channel layer adapted to contain an electron gas, (c) a barrier layer and (d) at least one ohmic contact electrode formed by a superposition of metallic layers, a first layer of which is in contact with the barrier layer. The device is remarkable in that the barrier layer includes a contact region under the ohmic contact electrode(s). The contact region includes at least one metal selected from the metals forming the superposition of metallic layers. Furthermore, a local alloying binds the contact region and the first layer of the electrode(s). | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100044705 | DOPED SUBSTRATE TO BE HEATED - A semiconductor structure that is to be heated. The structure includes a substrate for the front face deposition of a useful layer intended to receive components for electronics, optics or optoelectronics. The structure contains doped elements that absorb infrared radiation so as to substantially increase infrared absorption by the structure so that the front face reaches a given temperature when a given infrared power is supplied to the structure. At least one part of the doped elements have insufficient electrical activity or localization in the structure, such that they cannot disturb the operation of the components. In addition, a method of producing this structure and a method of forming a useful layer of semiconductor material on the structure. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100258846 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH CONTROLLED ELECTRICAL FIELD - The disclosure relates to electronic devices and associated methods of manufacture including materials of the Group III/N. An exemplary device successively includes, from its base towards its surface: (i) a support substrate, (ii) a layer adapted to contain an electron gas, (iii) a barrier layer, and (iv) a superficial layer extending on at least one part of the surface of the barrier layer, wherein the superficial layer has an electrical field of which the current is controlled so that, in at least one first region of the superficial layer, the electrical field is weaker than in a second region of the superficial layer. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100258898 | PROCESS FOR FABRICATING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device made of group III/N materials and a method of fabricating the device. The method includes growing by epitaxy on a substrate layer the following successive layers: a layer adapted to contain an electron gas, a barrier layer, and a surface layer. The method also includes an etching step performed on at least part of the surface layer. After the etching step, an epitaxial regrowth is performed to grow a covering layer on the etched surface layer. The material of the surface layer and the material of the covering layer include at least one Group III element and nitrogen. | 10-14-2010 |
