摘要:
A system determines an assortment of a plurality of related products for retail placement and includes an assortment selection tool for selecting one or more of the plurality of products as a function of product data in order to define a selected product assortment, a database of additional product data and an allocation tool for adjusting the selected product assortment as a function of the additional product data in the database to define an allocated product assortment for retail placement. A virtual environment interface permits marketers, retailers and/or consumers evaluate the product assortment in a virtual environment as a function of the additional product data in the database to define an allocated product assortment for retail placement. A business method determines an assortment of a plurality of related products for retail placement. Another business method evaluates the retail placement of related products.

A retrieval device may include a first plate and a second plate which may be movably coupled to a body via a first body fastener and a second body fastener, respectively. An upper plate connector and a lower plate connector may each be movably coupled to the first plate and a second plate with the lower plate connector positioned between the upper plate connector and the body fasteners. An optional tensioner may tension portions of the first plate and a second plate together. Upper gripper(s) may be coupled to the upper plate connector and lower gripper(s) may be coupled to the lower plate connector. The device may be movable between an open position, in which the upper gripper(s) and lower gripper(s) are positioned relatively distally from each other, and a closed position, in which the upper gripper(s) and lower gripper(s) are positioned relatively proximate to each other.

The mobile repair and response unit is a truck with an attached trailer that includes a plurality of uniquely defined compartments and areas that are each provided to accomplish a particular task. The attached trailer contains a cabin within which a customer may stay while the customer's vehicle is being repaired. The attached trailer includes a tire balancing station adjacent to a tire changing station. An opposing side of the attached trailer includes a plurality of pump stations that dispense different types of fuels or lubricating oils that are customarily used to operate different types of vehicles. An air station is included on the attached trailer in order to provide pressurized air for use with pneumatically operated tools or to inflate tires of the vehicle being repaired. The rear of the attached trailer includes a ramp that folds down to enable entrance into the attached trailer.

An ion implantation system and method are disclosed in which glitches in voltage are minimized by use of a modulated power supply system in the implanter. The modulated power supply system includes a traditional power supply and a control unit associated with each power supply, where the control unit is used to isolate the power supply from an electrode if a glitch or arc is detected. The control unit then restores connectivity after the glitch condition has been rectified.

A chamber for a milling machine includes a milling rotor rotatably mounted transversely on the chamber. The chamber also includes a side plate mounted on the chamber, adjacent to the milling rotor, in a substantially vertical position. The side plate includes a side plate support. The chamber further includes a rotor bearing coupled with the milling rotor and a bearing support configured to receive the rotor bearing. The chamber also includes at least one fastening element to removably couple the bearing support with the side plate support and the rotor bearing.
摘要:
A control apparatus for plasma immersion ion implantation of a dielectric substrate which includes an electrode disposed above a generated plasma in a plasma chamber. The electrode is biased with negative voltage pulses at a potential that is higher than a potential of a substrate or cathode configured to receive ion implantation. The electrode is more negative to give the electrons generated as secondary electrons from the electrode sufficient energy to overcome the negative voltage of the high voltage sheath around the substrate thereby reaching the substrate. These electrons are accelerated toward the substrate to neutralize charge build-up on the substrate.

A method of multi-step plasma doping a substrate includes igniting a plasma from a process gas. A first plasma condition is established for performing a first plasma doping step. The substrate is biased so that ions in the plasma having the first plasma condition impact a surface of the substrate thereby exposing the substrate to a first dose. The first plasma condition transitions to a second plasma condition. The substrate is biased so that ions in the plasma having the second plasma condition impact the surface of the substrate thereby exposing the substrate to a second dose. The first and second plasma conditions are chosen so that the first and second doses combine to achieve a predetermined distribution of dose across at least a portion of the substrate.

An osteoimplant comprising an expandable, biocompatible material. The expandable material may be demineralized bone particles such as demineralized cancelous chips or demineralized cortical fibers or may be another material such as a polymer. The osteoimplant has a first state and a second expanded state. The osteoimplant may be used with another device or on its own. The osteoimplant may be inserted into a device such as an intervertebral body fusion device in the compressed state. The osteoimplant may be rehydrated to expand to an increased size, for example as far as permitted by the confines of the intervertebral body fusion device and spinal endplates, thereby aiding in greater vertebral endplate contact and conformity in spinal surgery.

A ceramic honeycomb structure having reduced stress joints between its webs and skin is provided. The webs define a plurality of cells, and the skin surrounds the plurality of webs and has an inner wall that is connected to peripheral ends of the webs such that a plurality of angularly spaced wall joints are formed. Portions of the inner wall disposed between the angularly spaced wall joints include continuous arches. Each of the arches includes a curved central portion that terminates on either end on curved corner portions that are more sharply curved than the central portion. The arches eliminate sharp angles faces between the peripheral ends of the webs and the inner wall of the skin, thereby reducing stress concentrations in the interface between the webs and the skin. The arches also strengthen the skin, which allows it to be made thinner, thereby reducing thermally induced stresses in the joints between the webs and skin.
