Abstract:
A socket adaptor is mounted to a box end of a ratchet-type ring spanner of the type having a hollow ratchet wheel rotatably mounted in the box end. The socket adaptor includes a disc, a mediate section projected from the disc and releasably engaged with the hollow ratchet wheel mounted in the box end of the wrench, and a distal socket engaging portion beyond the hollow ratchet wheel. The mediate section of the socket adaptor has an outer periphery for releasably engaging with an inner periphery of the hollow ratchet wheel to rotate therewith. The distal socket engaging portion is to be releasably engaged with a socket.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for collecting information about an event in which a user accesses the Internet through the system of a first Internet Service Provider with whom the user does not have an account. The apparatus includes a first server that creates a record of the user's Internet usage and sends the record to a second server. The second server collects records from a plurality of Internet Service Providers and forwards the records to a third server on a regular basis. The third server processes the data in the plurality of records and generates a report showing how much money the first Internet Service Provider is owed for allowing the user to access the Internet through the system of the first Internet Service Provider.
Abstract:
A spanner comprises a box end that has an inner periphery consisting of a number of wall faces to define a first polygonal receiving space. Each wall face includes a groove defined therein. The grooves of the wall faces together define a second polygonal receiving space. At least one of the grooves includes a closed first end and an open second end.

Abstract:
A process for making ratchet wheels includes a step of providing a work with a first end and a second end, a step of punching the work by means of a punch so as to define a large recess through the second end, a step of cutting away the first end of the work, a step of defining two annular grooves in a periphery of the work and a step of forming a plurality of teeth on the work. The process may include, before the step of cutting away the first end of the work, a step of punching the work in order to define a small recess with a diameter smaller than that of the large recess, a step of punching the work so as to define an opening with a diameter smaller than that of the small recess wherein the opening extends through the first end of the work. The process may include a step of defining a shallow recess in the second end of the work before the step of defining the large recess.
Abstract:
A Voltage Range Detection Circuit (VRDC) (8) determines the supply voltage range of the integrated circuit. In general, voltage detector (10) determines the voltage level of supply voltage V.sub.DD and stores the result of this determination in storage (12). Resistor network (14), which receives the stored result, configures itself in the proper resistor configuration for the determined supplied voltage such that a compare signal is generated that represents a Variable Low Voltage Detection (VLVD) switch point. Resistor network (14) outputs this generated VLVD switch point signal to a first input of comparator (18) to be compared with the constant level reference voltage output by voltage reference (16) at a second input of comparator (18). When the output of resistor network (14) drops below the reference voltage provided by voltage reference (16), comparator (18) outputs a reset signal to disable the chip because a low voltage condition has occurred. As will be appreciated, this single circuit implementation eliminates the need to provide multiple low voltage detection circuits to sense each of the possible voltage operating ranges.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the invention is a moment-based characterization waveform for static timing analysis. One embodiment of a method for mapping a timing waveform associated with a gate of an integrated circuit to a characterization waveform includes using a processor to perform steps including: computing one or more moments of the timing waveform and defining the characterization waveform in accordance with the moments.
Abstract:
A tool rack assembly comprises a board and a tool rack detachably mounted to the board. In another embodiment, a tool try-on device is provided comprises a board and a rotating member rotatably mounted to the board. The rotating member is engageable with an end of a tool. The rotating member moves in a direction transverse to a plane on which the board lies when the tool engaged with the rotating member is turned.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing ratchet wheels including the steps of: forming a cylindrical forging billet by hot or cold forging, the forging billet having a thru hole of inter-communicating recesses which are pre-formed in a forging die; providing a broach having teeth formed thereon; machining the forging billet into a workpiece having a sidewall with two annular grooves on the sidewall; forming a semi-product having a driving recess which is complementary in shape to the teeth by operating the broach through the workpiece along the thru hole; and forming a finished product having a plurality of teeth on a sidewall thereof by milling the semi-product.
