Abstract: A connection rod coupling assembly includes a settable shape mounting second component having a lateral, primary axis and a bearing assembly including a bearing assembly body. The bearing assembly body includes a substantially cylindrical outer surface and a center axis. The bearing assembly body is coupled to the settable shape mounting second component in a non-aligned configuration. That is, the bearing assembly body center axis is offset from the settable shape mounting second component primary axis. Thus, the position of the bearing assembly body center axis is adjustable by repositioning the settable shape mounting second component relative to a settable shape mounting first component on a swing lever. The adjustment of the bearing assembly body, in turn, adjusts the range of the ram assembly and the ram assembly body.

Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic high oleic acid/ALS inhibitor-tolerant soybean plants are provided. Specifically, the present invention provides soybean plants having a DP-305423-1 event which imparts a high oleic acid phenotype and tolerance to at least one ALS-inhibiting herbicide. The soybean plant harboring the DP-305423-1 event comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:8, 9, 14, 15, 20, 21, 83 or 84. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the DP-305423-1 event provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the soybean DP-305423-1 events are provided.

Abstract: A method of forming a wellbore with a drill string and that includes continuously and automatically measuring a TARE value of the drill string. The TARE value of the drill string is measured while the drill string is rotating, fluid is circulating in the drill string, and after the drill string has been axially stationary for a set period of time. The TARE value is designated as an average of the measured hook load over the latter half of the set period of time. Knowing the measured TARE value and a designated weight on bit (“WOB”) of the drill string, a hook load for supporting the drill string is calculated. Matching the force applied that supports the drill string to the calculated hook load results in an actual WOB that matches the designated WOB.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing method includes receiving an IC design layout having IC regions separate from each other. Each of the IC regions includes an initial IC pattern that is substantially identical among the IC regions. The method further includes identifying a group of IC regions from the IC regions. All IC regions in the group have a substantially same location effect, which is introduced by global locations of the IC regions on the IC design layout. The method further includes performing a correction process to a first IC region in the group, modifying the initial IC pattern in the first IC region into a first corrected IC pattern. The correction process includes using a computer program to correct location effect. The method further includes replacing the initial IC pattern in a second IC region in the group with the first corrected IC pattern.

Abstract: A composite structural member and an arrangement of such composite structural members are constructed to provide a multi-functional under-floor airframe that reacts flight, handling and internal cargo loads, and is capable of absorbing energy when subjected to vertically applied compression loads, such as loads that may be applied in hard landing or crash situations. The composite structural member and arrangement of such composite structural members adds no parasitic weight to the aircraft, i.e., there is no need for additional energy-absorbing systems, structures or mechanism; and is lighter weight as compared to metal. The composite structural member and related parts of the arrangement of such composite structural members are designed to progressively collapse throughout the stroke (or displacement) that occurs when a dynamic compressive load is applied to the structural member and to work together with crashworthy seats to mitigate injuries to occupants.

Abstract: A method of micro-transfer printing comprises providing a component source wafer and components disposed in, on, or over the component source wafer. A destination substrate and a stamp for transferring the components from the component source wafer to the destination substrate is provided. The component source wafer has an attribute or structure that varies across the component source wafer that affects the structure, operation, appearance, or performance of the components. A first array of components is transferred from the component source wafer to the destination substrate with a first orientation. A second array of components is transferred from the component source wafer to the destination substrate with a second orientation different from the first orientation. Components can be transferred by micro-transfer printing and different orientations can be a different rotation, overlap, interlacing, or offset.

The liquid droplet discharging controller controls each of the nozzles to discharge the liquid droplet in an amount defined by the image data onto a target discharging position on the medium, which corresponds to a pixel position defined by the image data. The liquid droplet discharging controller controls at least one of the nozzles to discharge the liquid droplet for a controlled number of times smaller than a number of times N representing an integer not smaller than 2 in an amount greater than the amount defined by the image data onto the target discharging position on the medium. A frequency recorder records the controlled number of times of discharging for each of the at least one of the nozzles.

Abstract: Web server based color management hosted by a web server is provided enabling a production device to produce a print job with a similar color appearance as a reference device. The web server receives a production device color management profile and a reference device color management profile. The web server creates an output color management profile based on the color management profile of the production device and the color management profile of the reference device. The output color management profile maps device-independent color values associated in the color management profile of the reference device to device-specific color values for colors reproducible by the production device.
