Abstract: A wind power generator system includes a windmill rotor including a blade whose pitch angle is variable; a generator driven by the windmill rotor; and a control unit controlling output power of the generator and the pitch angle of the blade. The control unit performs a first control in which the output power is controlled in accordance with a predetermined power-rotational speed curve until the rotational speed is increased to reach a predetermined rated rotational speed, and a second control in which the output power is controlled to a predetermined rated power when the rotational speed exceeds the rated rotational speed. The control unit is responsive to the pitch angle for maintaining the second control or for switching to the first control, when the rotational speed is reduced below the rated rotational speed after the control unit is once placed into the state of performing the second control.

Abstract: Conventionally, a web site stores Internet data indicating file access status for the files that have been accessed in response to requests from web browsers. Unfortunately, the Internet data are kept as a set of separate and non-correlated data records that are chronologically arranged according to the times at which the requests have been received and processed. Consequently, the Internet data are not arranged meaningful to management and business operation. The present invention correlates web page files (HTML, SHTML, DHTML, or CGI files) with other type files (GIF, JPEG, or AVI files), so that the Internet data can be presented in a format meaningful to management and business operation.

Abstract: A multi-station machine for necking-in the open end of a metal container body includes a plurality of necking spindle assemblies mounted at circumferentially spaced locations on a tooling disc turret in coaxial alignment with corresponding base pad spindle assemblies mounted to a base pad turret. The turrets are co-rotatable with a main turret shaft. Cam controlled tooling activating assemblies are mounted on the tooling disc turret to control the necking-in movement of an eccentric roll and an external forming roll in each necking spindle in synchronism with the delivery of vacuum suction through the base pad spindles which clamps the container bottom walls to the respective base pads. A sequential latching arrangement associated with the tooling activating assemblies prevents tool-to-tool contact between the outer forming rolls with the eccentric rolls in the absence of container bodies on station.

Abstract: A cermic substrate supports a thin or thick film electronic circuit hermetically enclosed by a vitreous glass covering sealed to the ceramic substrate by a heat fused vitreous sealing glass. The vitreous sealing glass is screened onto the vitreous glass covering in a composition comprising a binder material and a liquifier. The electronic circuit is trimmed by a laser beam directed through the vitreous glass covering as one of the final process steps after completion of those process steps which tend to affect the resistivity of the resistive element; process steps such as high temperature baking and soldering of component parts.

Abstract: A molded circuit board is formed with a nonconductive molded polymer substrate base having at least one channel in a surface thereof. A sputtered conductive film is disposed in the channel on a virgin polymer surface thereof to establish a circuit line in the channel.

Abstract: A device for holding and protecting delicate instruments, such as microsurgical instruments, such as microsurgical instruments, is described. The device to protect delicate features of instruments from damage during shipping, storage, or other forms of handling. The device includes a base or stage on which spacing means and first and second securing means are provided.

Abstract: The invention comprises first and second wiring carriers surrounded and separated by shielding means, conductive lines on said carriers being electrically joined by means of a projection (pin) and socket. The projection extends coaxially through a hole in the shielding means.

Abstract: A thermal link provides a thermal path between a heat source and a heat sink which compensates for irregularities on the surface of the heat source and/or heat sink and/or nonuniformity in the spacing therebetween. One embodiment utilizes a spring metal device having a free arm which allows the link to align itself under low pressure so that it is in intimate contact with both the heat source and heat sink. Another embodiment utilizes an elastomeric material filled with thermally conducting particles to form a mat that has a plurality of raised sections having air spaces between each of the sections. The raised areas deform under low pressure by expanding laterally into the air spaces to conform to the space between the heat source and the heat sink.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a circuit board from a copper clad board comprises the steps of designing a circuit configuration of the circuit board on a computer-aided design system and then determining a desired circuit configuration outline on the computer-aided design system from the circuit configuration. The desired circuit configuration outline is provided to a computer-aided machining system which controls a laser, milling machine and the like to remove conductive material along the outline, leaving conductive material formed adjacent the removed material as the circuit configuration.

Abstract: A method of making a molded circuit board includes forming a polymer base with a channel and an intersecting through-hole. The base is conductively coated by means of vacuum deposition to establish a circuit line. After the conductive coating is removed everywhere except the channel and the through-hole, a further conductive material is provided on the coating. The base is subsequently stress relieved and planarized.
