  • Publication number: 20100316511
    Abstract: A centrifugal fan is provided, in which the value of static pressure with respect to the flow rate, namely, the flow rate-static pressure characteristic may be set to a relatively arbitrary value without increasing noise. An impeller of the centrifugal fan comprises an impeller body, a plurality of stems, a blade mounting member, a plurality of main blades, and a plurality of sub blades. The main blades are shaped to suck air into a casing through a suction port when the impeller rotates in a direction of normal rotation. The sub blades are shaped to suck air into the casing through the suction port when the impeller rotates in a direction of reverse rotation opposite to the direction of normal direction.

  • Publication number: 20100209270
    Abstract: An impeller comprises an impeller body, a plurality of stems, a blade mounting member, and a plurality of blades. The stems radially extend with one end of each stem fixed to a portion of a circumferential wall of the impeller body in the vicinity of a suction port, and are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the circumferential wall. The stems assist the impeller to suck air in an axial direction through a suction port during rotation of the impeller. The blade mounting member is disposed concentrically with the circumferential wall of the impeller body. The other end of each stem is fixed to the blade mounting member. The blades are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction and extend along an axial line toward a second wall portion, with one end of each blade fixed to the blade mounting member. A centrifugal fan thus configured is capable of reducing noise and power consumption without reducing static pressure with respect to airflow rate.

  • Patent number: 6772028
    Abstract: A method for performing a synchronized order change in a manufacturing process is provided. An order is associated with an order number and a work in process (WIP) number, which identifies a physical lot corresponding to the order. The synchronized order change maintains a relationship between the order number and the WIP number while making the change. This avoids the need to scrap lots that are no longer associated with an order number and prevents holds from being placed on incorrect lots.

  • Patent number: 6525962
    Abstract: An electrically erasable programmable logic device (EEPLD) cell (100) is disclosed. A folded floating gate (110) and folded select gate (108) can form two parallel read current paths (Isense0 and Isense1). A first read current path (Isense0) may be formed between a first semiconductor region (104) and a second semiconductor region (106-0), and may be controlled by a first floating gate portion (110-0) and a first select gate portion (108-0). A second read current path (Isense1) may be formed between the first semiconductor region (104) and a third semiconductor region (106-1) that is coupled to a second semiconductor region (106-0). A second read current path (Isense1) may be controlled by a second floating gate portion (110-1) and a second select gate portion (108-1).
