An intake manifold assembly for a V-type engine utilizes separate flange members that are resiliently connected to a manifold body through adherently secured resilient vibration absorbing isolators. The flanges and isolators combine with the body to define sealed resilient fluid conducting joints that provide the sole support for and resiliently isolate at least the adjacent portions of the manifold body. They also provide for connection of the manifold to the engine using conventional non-isola...

A mounting assembly for securing a control relay in sound isolation to the vehicle chassis to prevent the energizing and de-energizing noise of the relay from being transmitted through the vehicle chassis. The assembly includes a pair of absorbing members which receive a mounting bracket attached to the vehicle chassis and which are seated within a retaining sleeve of the relay housing. The absorbing members prevent contact between the mounting bracket and the relay housing and absorb the noise ...

A dielectrically isolated semiconductor wafer substrate includes first and second semiconductive layers bonded to each other by a direct bonding technique in such a manner that an insulative layer is sandwiched therebetween. The first semiconductive layer is a first silicon layer having a (100) or (110) crystal surface orientation, while the second semiconductive layer is a second silicon layer having a (111) crystal surface orientation. Thereafter, a peripheral portion of the resultant substrat...

The invention relates to a radiation-hardened (R-H) bulk CMOS process which is compatible with DRAM production and a specific gated isolation structure (GIS). The GIS structure consists of a novel oxide-silicon nitride-oxynitride gate insulator and a LPCVD polysilicon gate. A simple but automatically generating process for creating GIS directly from an original non-R-H device is also described. This generating process is fast and can revise any commercial products to a R-H version. The GIS is al...

The present invention provides a power drive circuit which is transformer isolated from the circuit developing the drive signals, but which does not lose its DC reference voltage. This technique results in the desired isolation without the undesirable possibility of operating the output transistors in an unsafe DC region, which is a particular problem when the output transistors are FET devices. In accordance with the present invention, pulse transformers are used to drive the power FET devices.

A semiconductor package having an internally isolated die flag form an externally exposed heatsink is provided by using a two stage molding process. The first molding stage provides a uniform layer of molding material of a predetermined thickness between a die flag area and a heatsink area. A second stage molding procedure then provides the packaging encapsulation thereby establishing the outer dimensions.

The present invention is a method and apparatus to generates an isolated bus cycle for a transaction in a processor. A configuration storage contains configuration parameters to configure a processor in one of a normal execution mode and an isolated execution mode. An access generator circuit generates an isolated access signal using at least one of the isolated area parameters and access information in the transaction. The isolated access signal is asserted when the processor is configured in t...

When a process running in an isolated execution environment is started by a user, the credentials of the user are associated with a naming environment for the isolated execution environment. The isolated execution environment may be implemented via creation of a namespace representing resources available to one or more processes running within the isolated execution environment. The resources available to the isolated processes may represent some subset of global resources. When a request to acc...

An offset platform, mounted on isolation mountings on a tractor having cross beams carried on the chassis for pivotally and yieldably supporting the platform on its mountings. The mountings serve not only as described for the platform, but provide also an isolation mounting, conjointly, to any and all tractor superstructure included on the platform such as an operator's cab, seat assembly, and rollover protective frame structure.

Dielectrically isolated single crystal silicon of high quality is produced by an extremely convenient process. This process involves the fusing of two silicon bodies where at least one of these bodies has a region of silicon oxide. The bodies are contacted so that the silicon oxide is at an interface between the two bodies. The bodies are then heated to an elevated temperature while applying a nominal electrical potential across the interface. This combination of applied potential and temperatur...
