  • Patent number: 7581322
    Abstract: A trimmer head for use in a flexible line rotary trimmer including a housing adapted to be operatively connected to the trimmer to effect rotation of the head and a spool operatively connected to the housing for rotation therewith. The spool defines at least one inwardly extending line receptor channel defining surface irregularities therein for securely gripping the cutting line upon an end portion of the line being inserted in the channel and the spool rotated with respect to the housing. The channel is preferably tapered inwardly to hold different line sizes. To provide uniform winding of the line about the spool, the operative connection between the spool and the housing effects relative reciprocal motion therebetween when the spool is manually rotated relative to the housing.

  • Patent number: 7579040
    Abstract: Provided is a method for fabricating an organic EL device that can prevent delamination of an electrode. The method includes: forming electrode separators on a substrate, the electrode separators being spaced apart by a constant distance from one another; and depositing an electrode material on an entire surface of the substrate including the electrode separators to form an electrode separated by the electrode separators. According to the present invention, since the anode is automatically separated in the unit of pixels due to the existence of the electrode separator, delamination of the anode can be prevented, and further product reliability can be enhanced. Also, since a complicated photolithography process is not needed, process efficiency can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7576534
    Abstract: The system (10) and the method are used for forecasting the electrical conductivity of an anode (12) for aluminum production before the anode (12) is baked. In the system (10), at least one receiving coil (20,22) is coupled to an electromagnetic field emitting unit (14,18). A sensing device (30) is connected to the receiving coil (20,22), the sensing device (30) outputting a signal indicative of a variation of the electromagnetic field received by the receiving coil (20,22) as the crude anode (12), or a portion thereof, passes inside the receiving coil (20,22). A value indicative of the electrical conductivity of the anode (12) is then calculated using the signal from the sensing device (30) and signals previously obtained using reference anodes (12). This way, the electrical conductivity of the anodes (12) can be forecasted before the crude anodes (12) are baked.
