摘要:
A casting rod provides a reel seat with trigger mechanism having a depending arm to fasten a first rearward end of an endless elastic propellant device. The second forward end of the elastic propellant device is carried by a depending arm of a stretching mechanism that is selectively positionable on the rod at plural points spacedly forward of the first depending arm. A fishing line carried in ordinary fashion by the rod is fastened to the propellant device and projected with it, responsive to trigger motion, to propel the fishing line in predetermined trajectory at a distance from the rod. The propellant device remains interconnected to the end portion of a fishing line to there serve as a float or sinker depending upon density of that propellant device.

There is provided a multiple-component tampon applicator formed from at least three separate components. A fingergrip having a reduced cross-section as compared to that of the barrel may be formed such that it is a separate component or is integrally formed with a barrel component. The reduced cross-section fingergrip provides exceptional grippability to the user. The multiple components may be formed from materials including, for example, biopolymer including starches and proteins, cardboard, heat shrink plastic, paper slurry, plastic, plastic tubing, pulp slurry, pulp-molded paper, or any combinations thereof. Prior to assembly of the applicator and prior to loading the barrel component with an absorbent pledget, petals may be formed on the insertion end of the barrel using existing processes and equipment. Alternatively, a separate insertion tip component having petals may be formed. This separate component may then be connected to the barrel component either before or after an absorbent pledget is loaded into the barrel component.

A system for testing the existing protection schemes of a power converter. The system simulates the voltage regulator producing a voltage level below an under-voltage threshold. The system simulates the voltage regulator producing a voltage level above an over-voltage threshold. The system simulates a short in the power converter pulling down the input bus. The system simulates a short in the power converter pulling down the output bus. The system measures the system responses to these simulations against responses of a properly operating system and determines if the power converter's protection schemes are operating correctly.

A power regulation scheme includes a first voltage regulation portion having a first voltage regulator, a second voltage regulator, and a switching system. The first voltage regulation portion is connected in parallel with a second voltage regulation portion. The second voltage regulation portion regulates an input voltage if an open condition occurs within the first voltage regulation portion. The switching system forces the second voltage regulator to regulate the input voltage if a short condition occurs within the first voltage regulator.

A method of processing turbine airfoils includes depositing a protective coating on first and second turbine airfoils, and bonding the first and second turbine airfoils together after the deposition such that there is an open throat between the first and second turbine airfoil and at least portions of surfaces in the open throat are coated with the protective coating.
摘要:
A method includes providing a set of initial characteristic values associated with the semiconductor device. A first fabrication process is performed on the semiconductor device. Fabrication data associated with the first fabrication process is collected. At least one of the initial characteristic values is replaced with the fabrication data collected for the first fabrication process to generate a first modified set of characteristic values. A first value for at least one electrical characteristic of the semiconductor device is predicted based on the modified set of characteristic values. A system includes a first process tool, a first data collection unit, and a prediction unit. The first process tool is configured to perform a first fabrication process on the semiconductor device. The first data collection unit is configured to collect fabrication data associated with the first fabrication process. The prediction unit is configured to provide a set of initial characteristic values associated with the semiconductor device, replace at least one of the initial characteristic values with the fabrication data collected for the first fabrication process to generate a first modified set of characteristic values, and predict a first value for at least one electrical characteristic of the semiconductor device based on the modified set of characteristic values.
摘要:
A power regulation scheme includes a first voltage regulation portion connected in parallel with a second voltage regulation portion that regulates a voltage if an open condition occurs within the first voltage regulation portion. Each voltage regulation portion may include a first voltage regulator connected in series with a second voltage regulator that regulates the voltage if a short condition occurs within the first voltage regulator. Each voltage regulation portion may utilize a switching element to route an output voltage of the first voltage regulator past the second voltage regulator if the output voltage has been regulated and/or to force the output voltage to be regulated by the second voltage regulator if the output voltage has not been regulated.
