A connection monitoring system and method for a vehicle high voltage energy storage system is disclosed. The method performs a check, at initial connection of the high voltage energy storage system, to insure that the vehicle high voltage wiring system is fully connected and without short circuits prior to allowing full current to the vehicle and normal vehicle operation. The method switches in a resistor to limit current flow between the high voltage energy storage system and the vehicle high voltage wiring, and measures the voltage and a voltage rise time across the resistor. The voltage and the voltage rise time across the resistor are used to determine if a short circuit is present, and if so the high voltage energy storage system is disconnected to protect the vehicle and its users.

Disclosed are embodiments of a trigate field effect transistor that comprises a fin-shaped semiconductor body with a channel region and source/drain regions on either side of the channel region. Thick gate dielectric layers separate the top surface and opposing sidewalls of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to suppress conductivity in the channel planes. A thin gate dielectric layer separates the upper corners of the channel region from the gate conductor in order to optimize conductivity in the channel corners. To further emphasize the current flow in the channel corners, the source/drain regions can be formed in the upper corners of the semiconductor body alone. Alternatively, source/drain extension regions can be formed only in the upper corners of the semiconductor body adjacent to the gate conductor and deep source/drain diffusion regions can be formed in the ends of the semiconductor body.

Systems and methods for providing demographic information for a geo-demographic cluster area within a predefined geographic region are disclosed. An illustrative method may include the steps of associating selected data entries from multiple databases with parcels of land in a predefined geographic region, generating household-specific demographic profiles for each parcel of land using data records from the databases, generating an aggregate dataset for at least two parcels of land by combining the household-specific demographic profiles for each parcel of land, and outputting selective data from the aggregate dataset to a user such as an individual or organization. The step of generating an aggregate dataset for at least two parcels of land can be used to protect the identity of individual residents or organizations located within the predefined geographic region.
摘要:
An oyster block includes a base. The base has a generally planar first surface; and an arcuate bulkhead attached to the base. The arcuate bulkhead, in cooperation with the generally planar first surface, defines an oyster receptacle. The oyster receptacle secures the oyster in the course of insertion or prying of the oyster shell.
摘要:
A complementary bipolar transistor is fabricated using an available a portion of a silicon germanium (SiGe) low temperature epitaxial layer as the raised base region for a vertical NPN transistor, and another portion of the same SiGe LTE layer as a vertical PNP collector layer. The complementary pair of transistors is vertically aligned and operates in a single direction.
