The invention is directed generally toward a fastener for use in assembly of steel truss members which can be installed at an angular orientation relative to the truss member surface. The fastener comprises a shank having a tip and a head. The fastener shank further has threaded portions for engaging truss members and plate elements if present. The tip of the shank can have a self-tapping point. The head of the fastener has a tool engagement surface and a seating surface. The seating surface has a configuration that allows for a wider distribution of force at a truss assembly contact point. In particular, the configuration includes an arcuate contour that is generally convex.

A truss fastener which includes a shaft having a head and a tip. Threading extends along the shaft from the tip end toward the head end of the shaft. The threading is interrupted, abbreviated, and/or otherwise separated by wings projecting from the surface of the shaft. The interrupting projection extends in a generally oblique orientation to the center axis of the fastener.

One method implementation disclosed includes detecting matching leaf cells that are functionally identical (optionally, functionally similar) and assigning matching names for the matching leaf cells to replace original, non-matching names. Optionally, digests can be calculated for the leaf cells and used to detect similarities and/or differences. The matching names are propagated to at least some higher-level cells in the hierarchical design, in place of the original names. The method can further include calculating digests for at least some of the higher level cells after the propagating of the matching names into the higher level cells. Various design matching technologies can be used in combination with cell renaming and new name propagation, not limited to use of digests. Dependency chains can be calculated to improve propagation of names through the hierarchy.
摘要:
The use of surfactants that do not themselves act as dopants and are isoelectronic with either the group III or group V host atoms during OMVPE growth significantly reduces the incorporation of background impurities such as carbon, oxygen, sulfur and/or silicon. For example, the use of the surfactants Sb or Bi significantly reduces the incorporation of background impurities such as carbon, oxygen, sulfur and/or silicon during the OMVPE growth of III/V semiconductor materials, for example GaAs, GaInP, and GaP layers. As a result, an effective method for controlling the incorporation of impurity atoms is adding a minute amount of surfactant during OMVPE growth.

A defect current contribution elimination technique may be suitable for dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and other memory devices. A defect current can be eliminated by using an isolation circuit (106) between bitlines (102-0 and 102-1) and an associated sense amplifier circuit (104). Isolation circuit (106) can be controlled by programmable elements, such as fusible links, which are blown at wafer test to isolate the defective bitlines from the sense amplifier circuit. Isolated, defective bitlines may initially float, but based upon the type of defect, such bitlines can be resistively tied to another element, and as a result no DC current will flow. According to another implementation, controllable devices are placed between wordlines (206) and the wordline driver circuits (226-y). A current path through a defective wordline can be similarly cut-off.

A power supply detecting input receiver circuit (300) can include a multiplexing capability that can select one of at least two power supplies during a non-critical timing period. Such selection of a power supply can reduce both the standby and the active current of input receiver circuit (300). In one arrangement, an input receiver circuit (300) can include a comparator (310), a latch (316), and a select circuit (304). A latch (316) can be enabled to indicate a selection of a supply upon a circuit power-up, as but one example. A method is disclosed that includes comparing at least two supply voltages, setting a latch to indicate a selected supply, and providing the selected supply to an input receiver. The receiver output signal may be voltage-translated to a suitable internal supply level.
