Abstract: An integrated circuit containing an array of SRAM cells with T-shaped contacts in the inverters, in which drain connecting segments may extend beyond gate connecting segments by a distance greater than 10 percent of a separation distance between ends of opposite drain connecting segments. The drain connecting segments may also extend beyond gate connecting segments by a distance greater than one-third of the width of the gate connecting segments. A process of forming an integrated circuit containing an array of SRAM cells with T-shaped contacts in which drain connecting segments may extend beyond gate connecting segments by a distance greater than 10 percent of a separation distance between ends of opposite drain connecting segments. A process may also form the drain connecting segments to extend beyond gate connecting segments by greater than one-third of the width of the gate connecting segments.

Abstract: A reference signal generator includes a voltage reference, an amplifier coupled to the voltage reference, and a precharge circuit coupled to the amplifier. The voltage reference is configured to generate a constant voltage. The amplifier is configured to receive the constant voltage from the voltage reference and generate a regulating primary output signal and a non-regulating secondary output signal. The precharge circuit is configured to charge a noise reduction capacitor with the non-regulating secondary output signal.

 In an attempt to get into the inner circle of the management of Americano I looked for any opening. I sat back and did my duties as a grunt worker and observed the three men in charge from a distance. I immediately started on an age old tactic of mine from my white collar criminal days and targeted the office women for sex and pillow talk.  If you want to know what is going on in any business, get close to the ladies in the office and you can learn more than any apprenticeship. In the office of Americano were three women who had close access to the power structure. One of them was a beautiful older Italian woman that came down from New York with the crew. She was the office manager and the seat of secretarial power at the company. Rumer was that she had been very close to the top guy in a Biblical way and she had a daughter who was a stripper. She was unapproachable. I had no chance getting into those panties. The other two ladies however were down to earth and very cool chicks. One was tall and skinny and the other was a BBW or Big Beautiful Woman. Having an inclination my whole life for more cushion for the pushing, I moved on the big pretty one. Her name was Carrie and we hit it off in spades. She was a quality human being who was a single mom with three young kids. After the kids would go to sleep at night I would show up to her single-wide trailer and have some of the most wonderful sex I had ever had in that town. She was adventurous in bed and would try all sorts of fun stuff with me. She had long beautiful hair and one of the top three best smelling vaginas I had ever had. When it comes to that scent, a man never ever forgets the two or three in his life that smelt incredible. She was one of my three in life. If I could have bottled up her unique scent, I could have made millions. Over the course of time we became very close and good friends. I learned a lot about what was going on in that office with her. She was very loquacious when it came to pillow talk. Carrie was a treasure trove of office politics and history. Everything was going according to plan.

Abstract: An electro-pneumatic controller adapted to use a non-inert fluid as a control fluid includes a base portion and a cap portion removeably secured to the base portion. A non-intrinsically-safe process may be disposed within an interior of the cap portion. A plurality of passageways may be disposed through the base portion. The electro-pneumatic controller may also include a flameproof barrier assembly which may include a plurality of flameproof joints each disposed within desired portion of the plurality of passageways. The plurality of flameproof joints cooperate to at least partially define a first zone, the flameproof joints adapted to prevent or to limit the spread of an open fire or explosion that might occur due to the ignition of the non-inert control fluid.
