  • Patent number: 11866613
    Abstract: Provided is a PSA sheet that allows installation of a protection sheet with good shape precision on the surface of an object to be protected. The PSA sheet provided by this invention comprises a substrate whose primary component is a resin film and a PSA layer placed on one face of the substrate. The PSA sheet comprises a protection sheet part which is adhered to an adherend to protect it, a marginal part bounded from the protection sheet part by a tear-off line surrounding the protection sheet part, and a tear-aiding structure provided along the tear-off line. The PSA sheet is configured so that after the protection sheet part is adhered to the adherend, when the marginal part is pulled in a direction in which the PSA sheet is peeled off the adherend, the marginal part is torn off the protection sheet part.

  • Patent number: 11128110
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology comprise a method and apparatus for an ignition system. In various embodiments, the ignition system activates a soft shutdown of an ignition coil in the event of an over dwell condition. The apparatus comprises a first counter and a second counter that are selectively activated at predetermined events. An output of the second counter controls the value of a reference current that decreases linearly over time and wherein a rate of change of the reference current may be adjusted according to a frequency of a clock signal. In various embodiments, the soft shutdown operates independent of the supply voltage and temperature.
