Structures and methods of anti-fuse formation in SOI

An anti-fuse structure that can be programmed at low voltage and current and which potentially consumes very little chip spaces and can be formed interstitially between elements spaced by a minimum lithographic feature size is formed on a composite substrate such as a silicon-on-insulator wafer by etching a contact through an insulator to a support semiconductor layer, preferably in combination with formation of a capacitor-like structure reaching to or into the support layer. The anti-fuse may be programmed either by the selected location of conductor formation and / or damaging a dielectric of the capacitor-like structure. An insulating collar is used to surround a portion of either the conductor or the capacitor-like structure to confine damage to the desired location. Heating effects voltage and noise due to programming currents are effectively isolated to the bulk silicon layer, permitting programming during normal operation of the device. Thus the potential for self-repair without interruption of operation is realized.

InactiveCN1386053ADoes not interfere with buffer propertiesAvoid compromiseSolesHeelsStructural engineeringMechanical engineering
The invention is a bladder formed of multiple layers of barrier film to provide multiple pressurized layers of cushioning fluid or gas when the bladder is filled. The sidewalls of the bladder can be constructed with an inverted seam construction to eliminate finishing steps in the manufacture of cushioning bladders and alternatively to provide a clean, seamless appearance along the side walls. The inverted seam can be formed by attaching the peripheral edges of inner barrier layers to the outer barrier layers adjacent a weld between inner barrier layers to provide an inside-out inverted seam appearance. An inverted seam can also be formed by providing separate sidewall elements attached to the barrier layers of the bladder to provide a seam displaced from the center of the sidewall.

Pipe laser

A pipe laser device is attached to plumbing that will be added to or extended to show the angle and direction of where the existing plumbing is pointing so the installer knows precisely where to drill to accommodate the new plumbing. The pipe laser has an adaptor / connector that can fit inside an existing plumbing pipe to attach the pipe laser device to the existing pipe. The device has an emitter (laser diode) within the device that delivers the beam (laser beam) from the opposite end of the device. The laser diode is centered on connector that sits within the existing pipe, and so allows the laser beam delivered from the other end to also be centered relative to the existing pipe. Thus, the beam from the opposite end can precisely indicate where on an opposing wall the opening should be created for the existing plumbing to continue through that wall.
