Appl. No.:

08/966381

International Classification:

G06F 900

US Classification:

709104, 709107

Abstract:

Temporary states are used transitionally in run-time situations and are unknown to the object database. A temporary state is created if, when an object is performing a requested event, interim work needs to be performed before the object reaches a permanent destination state. Use of a temporary state is transparent to the caller of the requested event. Within a single flow of control, an unlimited number of nested locks may be acquired. A request to unlock an object will only truly unlock the object if the unlock requester is at the highest level of locking. For recursive or embedded functions, no knowledge of the previous locking condition is necessary. Attribute-based locking provides a mechanism for allowing only certain members of the system to lock an object for writing while the object is in a predetermined state. However, any thread may obtain a read lock on an object in order to examine its attributes. This may be expanded to state that the system may restrict locking of an object or entity based upon any attribute in the database or upon any combination or logical expression of these attributes.

A61C 5/10

US Classification:

4332221, 433223

Abstract:

A coping material for a prosthetic crown is provided. The coping material according to current application is comprised of two portions which are mechanically bonded each other. The first portion is the main coping portion that is located beneath of the enamel layer of a crown. The first portion is made from, including but not limited to, common metal and/or portion fused gold (PFG). The second is the portion which makes contact with gum tissue. That portion surrounds the brim of the bottom of the coping for 360 degrees. The gum contacting portion is comprised of bio-gold that is mechanically bonded to the main coping portion. Centrifuging of molten bio-gold technology is applied for mechanical bonding of the two portions. Electronic forming technology is also applied for mechanical bonding.

Inventors:

Sang R. Kim - Granada Hills CA

International Classification:

B60J 300

US Classification:

296 9711

Abstract:

A vehicle sun visor assembly (10) that is designed to be installed by an original equipment manufacturer or after it has been purchased. The assembly (10) consists of a sun visor rod (12) that extends from a position above and near the center of a windshield, curves around the vehicle and terminates near the end of a vehicle side window. The rod (12) is attached to the vehicle by means of a rod/vehicle attachment assembly (32) which allows the rod to be horizontally and vertically positioned to accommodate the dimensions of a particular vehicle. A visor/rod attachment assembly (100) is used to slidably attach a sun visor (78) to the rod (12). The assembly (100) allows the sun visor to be placed and maintained in an upward, stowed position or in a downward position. In the downward position, the sun visor (78) can be moved from one end to the other end of the sun visor rod (12) to optimally position the sun visor (78) to block the sun's rays from the eyes of a driver or a passenger.

International Classification:

H01L 2176

US Classification:

437 62

Abstract:

A method for forming a dielectrically isolated semiconductor devices on a semiconductor substrate. An epitaxial layer is grown on a wafer having a thin buried oxide layer. Trench regions are etched through the epitaxial layer to the underlying oxide layer. A dielectric isolation layer is formed on the sidewalls of the trench regions so as to isolate an active region of the epitaxial semiconductor material. The trenches are etched to the underlying semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor material is selectively epitaxially regrown in the trench regions. Semiconductor devices are formed in the isolated active regions. Contacts are made to the active regions of the semiconductor device and to the wafer substrate through the epitaxially regrown trench regions.
