Abstract: A load and battery charge device in a vehicle electrical system controllably disconnects a battery or other stored energy source from the electrical system when the battery state causes the system voltage to operate below a desired threshold. The device filters generator ripple voltage during batteryless operation to maintain an acceptable ripple voltage. The load and battery control device operates to recharge the battery that is disconnected from the vehicle electrical system at a controlled voltage independent of the vehicle electrical system voltage. The load and battery control device controls the rate of battery recharge so as to avoid overburdening the vehicle electrical system and then reconnects the battery to the vehicle electrical system once the battery voltage has reached a minimum threshold.

Abstract: This dynamic calibration qualifier relates to a tool monitor and assembly qualifier that verifies that the correct number of fasteners have been properly installed into an assembly. The device monitors an analog signature created by the tool and has the ability to dynamically calibrate itself while the tool is running. In the preferred embodiment, the stored variable is a clutch offset identified during a calibration phase. In a pulse tool, the programmed microprocessor is configured to identify and store the peak pressure of the first three pulses which are averaged together. The clutch offset is added to the average pulse value from which the clutch threshold is generated.

Abstract: This qualifier uses multiple thresholds and multiple timers to perform its operations. This assembly qualifier is a counting apparatus that monitors either the pressure of a pulsing air tool. The qualifier includes a microprocessor that is configured to indicate a pulsing region when the measured air pressure is between the third stored air pressure and the fourth stored air pressure.

Abstract: An initial layout of an integrated circuit device is separated into a set of definitions for use in a multiple exposure fabrication process. The separation begins with reading a portion of the initial layout and identifying one or more target features within the initial layout. Further, a first revised layout definition is created for a first mask and a second revised layout definition is created for a second mask. The first revised layout definition includes the target features inside the dark-field content. In addition, in one embodiment, the first revised layout definition includes clear areas around each target feature. The second layout definition includes one or more dark features inside the bright-field content. These dark features, when used in the multiple exposure fabrication process, will overlap the target features. The first and second masks may be binary masks, attenuated phase-shifting masks (PSMs) or a combination of a binary mask and an attenuated PSM.
