20110230031 BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR HAVING A HIGH GERMANIUM CONCENTRATION IN A SILICON-GERMANIUM LAYER AND A METHOD FOR FORMING THE BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR - A method for forming a germanium-enriched region in a heterojunction bipolar transistor and a heterojunction bipolar transistor comprising a germanium-enriched region. A base having a silicon-germanium portion is formed over a collector. Thermal oxidation of the base causes a germanium-enriched region to form on a surface of the silicon-germanium portion subjected to the thermal oxidation. An emitter is formed overlying the germanium-enriched portion region. The germanium-enriched region imparts advantageous operating properties to the heterojunction bipolar transistor, including improved high-frequency/high-speed operation.09-22-2011

20090104320Stabilization of Milk-Based Products - Dairy-derived food products, particularly beverages, such as milk/juice blends, yogurt-based drinks, fermented milk beverages, and soft drinks, are disclosed. These compositions contain a stabilizing mixture comprising metal (in the form of ions, salts or oxides) such as zinc or magnesium, either alone or together with an adjunct component such as ascorbic acid. These beverage products do not form off-flavors when they are exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light. This provides for more efficient and inexpensive manufacture of the products and eliminates the need for expensive opaque packing materials.04-23-2009

20080238650CONFIGURABLE NETWORKED USER INTERFACE AND SWITCH PACK - A printed circuit board (PCB) has a plurality of switch interfaces on its top surface. Each interface is an array of sensors, such as proximity sensors, hall-effect sensors, or a series of inductor coils. The sensors in each array are closely mounted and are all the same for a given PCB. Each array may or may not mount a non-contacting switch selected from a plurality of different types of switches, such as a single push button switch, dual push button switch, a toggle switch, a 3-position rocker switch, a rotary switch, or other type switch. Each switch mounted on the PCB includes one or more indicators for sensing by the sensors or coils, with feedback to determine what type of switch is mounted in each position. The same PCB, or other mount, may thus be used for a variety of unique applications, such as switch packs used in vehicles.10-02-2008
