Refrigeration systems for machines for making blended iced beverages make ice for use in the beverages and maintain beverage ingredients cold not only as the ingredients are stored in supply containers in the machine but also as they are delivered from the supply containers to a remote point of delivery at a beverage ingredient dispense station. Arrangements are disclosed in which a single refrigeration system makes ice and chills the beverage ingredients; in which a pair of refrigeration systems make ice and chill the beverage ingredients; in which a single refrigeration system makes ice and the ice is used to chill the beverage ingredients; and in which a single refrigeration system makes ice and melt water from the ice is used in chilling the beverage ingredients.

An adapter for mounting an icemaker on top of an ice bin of an ice and beverage dispenser has a lid mounted for both sliding movement and pivotal movement relative to the remainder of the adapter. The lid normally covers an inlet to the ice bin. To expose the ice bin inlet for visually inspection of the interior of the bin and/or to accommodate manual filling of the bin with ice, the lid is manually slid forward off of and then be rotated away from the bin inlet to fully expose the inlet. The lid at all times remains connected to the adapter so that it is not lost or exposed to unsanitary conditions.

A wafer, an intermediate wafer assembly and an improved method of fabricating a wafer having an improved edge profile are provided. The wafer may have various edge profiles that eliminate, or at least reduce, the chamfered portion proximate one of the major surfaces. For example, the wafer may have an edge with curved surface extending continuously from one major surface to another, an angled edge segment adjacent one major surface and a curved surface extending from the angled edge segment to the other major surface, or first and second angled edge segments adjacent the opposed major surfaces and a curved surface extending therebetween with the second angled edge segment being at least 50% smaller in a radial direction than the first angled edge segment. The wafer may serve as the bonded wafer, the handle wafer, or both the bonded and handle wafers of an SOI wafer.

An accelerator circuit is incorporated in a laser diode system for accelerating the turn-on operation of the laser diode independent of the control loop bandwidth of the laser diode system. The accelerator circuit provides a boost current to a compensation capacitor upon laser turn-on which compensation capacitor operates to establish the control loop bandwidth of the laser diode system. The boost current enables the control loop to increase the bias current to the laser diode quickly. When the laser diode reaches the desired operating point, the boost current is terminated and the control loop of the laser diode system resumes normal control of the bias current. In one embodiment, the accelerator circuit includes a timer circuit controlling a current source to implement open loop turn-on control. In another embodiment, the accelerator circuit includes a comparator circuit working in conjunction with an one-shot logic circuit for providing close loop control.

A system and method for transforming databases to maintain compatibility with an associated software application. An initial database associated with an application is formatted using a description language that is transformable by a stylesheet language. After modification of the structure or values of the initial database, a translator using a stylesheet language is applied to the database to transform the database so that it retains compatibility with a revised or updated application. When the application itself is modified, the translator can be used to maintain compatibility between existing databases and the revised application. In one embodiment, the application can be used to program an electronic device.

In a golf bag that includes a body with a top end and a bottom end, a throat structure is mounted in the top end of the body. The throat structure has a substantially ring shaped outer wall and a raised inner wall extending transversely of the body top end with its opposite ends connected to the outer wall. A first plurality of three divider walls extends between the inner and outer walls to define a first plurality of four individual compartments located along a back portion of the throat structure. Each compartment of the first plurality of individual compartments is adapted for receiving one wood-type golf club. A raised well is located along a front portion of the throat structure opposite the first plurality of individual compartments. The raised well is adapted for receiving a golf putter. A second plurality of two divider walls extends between the raised inner wall and the raised well to define a second plurality of three individual compartments located between the front and back portions of the throat structure. Each compartment of the second plurality of individual compartments is adapted for receiving a plurality of iron-type golf clubs.

A BiCMOS auxiliary output driver is provided to maintain output logic signal levels when integrated circuit chip power supply voltage is outside its nominal range. When the power supply voltage level is within design tolerance for a MOSFET output driver stage, the auxiliary output driver is off; when below design tolerance, the auxiliary output driver is turned on. Driver stage output pad signal level is maintained at a desired state level by the auxiliary output driver whenever the power supply slips below its design tolerance range.

An iron type golf club head includes a body having a front face arranged for impact with a golf ball, a back face, a heel portion and toe portion. A hosel is connected to the heel portion of the body. A perimeter weighting element protrudes rearwardly from the front face and defines a primary cavity in the back face of the body. The perimeter weighting element includes a top rail and a sole which extend between the body heel and toe portions along an upper portion and a lower portion, respectively, of the body. An interior wall extends from a first end connected to the perimeter weighting element adjacent the body heel portion through the primary cavity between the top rail and the sole to a second end connected to the perimeter weighting element adjacent the body toe portion to define an elongated secondary cavity or tuning port within the primary cavity. The interior wall is integrally formed on a bottom surface of the primary cavity and extends from the bottom surface of the primary cavity in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the hosel. This orientation of the interior wall provides the secondary cavity, i.e. the tuning port, with a low profile while also moving the center of gravity of the club head lower and farther away from the front face.
