| 20090102026 | SEMICONDUCTOR-ON-INSULATOR SUBSTRATE WITH A DIFFUSION BARRIER - A diffusion barrier layer is incorporated between a top semiconductor layer and buried oxide layer. The diffusion barrier layer blocks diffusion of dopants into or out of buried oxide layer. The diffusion barrier layer may comprise a dielectric material such as silicon oxynitride or a high-k gate dielectric material. Alternately, the diffusion barrier layer may comprise a semiconductor material such as SiC. Such materials provide less charge trapping than a silicon nitride layer, which causes a high level of interface trap density and charge in the buried oxide layer. Thus, diffusion of dopants from and into semiconductor devices through the buried oxide layer is suppressed by the diffusion barrier layer without inducing a high interface trap density or charge in the buried oxide layer. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20110115484 | ULTRA FAST MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NON-CONTRAST AGENT MR ANGIOGRAPHY USING ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH OR PULSE TRIGGERED HALF FOURIER TURBO SPIN ECHO-BASED ACQUISITION WITH VARIABLE FLIP ANGLE EVOLUTION AND HIGH RESOLUTION - In a magnetic resonance imaging method for non-contrast imaging of blood at a region in the subject's body, a first 3D MR image is acquired represented by a first 3D volume data set of the region at a first trigger delay time. The first 3D image is acquired using a substantially 90° excitation pulse followed by a plurality of variable flip angle refocus pulses forming an echo train where the refocus pulses are smaller than or equal to 180°. To form the first 3D MR image, multiple MR slices are acquired related to the first trigger delay time to speed up the acquisition of the first image. A second 3D MR image is acquired represented by a second 3D volume data set at the same region using the same steps for acquiring the first 3D MR image except that a second trigger delay time is used which is different than the first trigger delay time. The first 3D volume data set and the second 3D volume data set are subtracted to create a third 3D volume data set. From the third 3D volume data set a 2D substantially maximum intensity projection data set is created which may then be displayed to show the blood at the region. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090154776 | Optical Imaging Clinical Sampler - A clinical sampling system including a reader capable of optically imaging a test cartridge presented thereto and then automatically determining the presence and concentration of a target compound in a liquid sample placed on the test cartridge. The reader includes an optical imaging unit for illuminating, imaging, and interpreting the test cartridge. The test cartridge houses a reaction strip having a control region and a sample region that reacts to a liquid sample placed on the strip. The presence and concentration of the target compound are interpreted by determining the relative reflected intensities of the control region and sample region and calculating the ratio of the reflected intensities relative to the reflected intensity of the background. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100040696 | Composite Particles Having An Antioxidant-Based Protective System, And Topical Compositions Comprising The Same - The present invention relates to topical compositions containing a dispersion of composite particles. Each of such composite particles contains one or more core particles encapsulated or entrapped in a polymeric shell. At least some of the core particles are formed of a material capable of causing generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Each of the composite particles further contains: (1) a first antioxidant co-encapsulated or co-entrapped with the core particles inside the polymeric shell for quenching or scavenging ROS generated in the vicinity of the core particles, and (2) a second antioxidant coated over the polymeric shell for preventing or reducing oxidative damage to the skin, such as lipid peroxidation. The particle dispersion of the present invention therefore can be readily formulated into topical sunscreen compositions with organic sunscreen agents susceptible to oxidative decomposition or degradation to provide improved protection against skin damage caused by exposure to UV light. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20110227136 | SPACER PROTECTION AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR ARRAY DEVICE - The present disclosure provides a method of forming an electrical device. The method may begin with forming a gate structure on a substrate, in which a spacer is present in direct contact with a sidewall of the gate structure. A source region and a drain region is formed in the substrate. A metal semiconductor alloy is formed on the gate structure, an outer sidewall of the spacer and one of the source region and the drain region. An interlevel dielectric layer is formed over the metal semiconductor alloy. A via is formed through the interlevel dielectric stopping on the metal semiconductor alloy. An interconnect is formed to the metal semiconductor alloy in the via. The present disclosure also includes the structure produced by the method described above. | 09-22-2011 |
