TL;DR: In this article, a method and an apparatus for manufacturing a memory cell having a nonvolatile resistive memory element with a limited size active area is presented, which comprises a first step of providing a dielectric volume and forming a plug opening within the dielectrics volume.
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a memory cell having a non-volatile resistive memory element with a limited size active area. The method comprises a first step of providing a dielectric volume and forming a plug opening within the dielectric volume. A recessed plug of a conductive material is then formed within a lower portion of the opening and a dielectric spacer is formed along the sidewalls of an upper portion of the opening. The spacer is cylindrical and has a central hole. A contact plug is subsequently formed within the central hole, the contact plug electrically coupled to the recessed plug. The contact plug can include a memory element or an additional memory element can be applied over the contact plug.

TL;DR: An electrical connector for joining individual, electrically conductive wires to a printed circuit board is described in this paper, where the wires are stripped of any insulation and mechanically attached to a contact in the connector.
Abstract: An electrical connector for joining individual, electrically conductive wires, to a printed circuit board. The wires may be individual solid or stranded types. A contact, provided within the connector housing, is arranged with a first end forming an area for attaching the wire and with a second end arranged usually with female contacts for connecting to a header on the printed circuit board. The wires are stripped of any insulation and mechanically attached to a contact in the connector. The wire is placed between a pressure plate and an area of the contact. A screw is rotated forcing the pressure plate and the contact area together physically squeezing the wire so that the wire is securely attached to the contact area to provide a good electrical contact. The second end of the contacts forms a female cantilevered contact arranged to mate with a header of a row of male pins soldered to the printed circuit board. The connector provides for offsetting the contact areas on adjacent contacts such that the spacing between the contacts accepting the wire are farther apart that the female contacts accepting the pins on the printed circuit board.
