  • Patent number: 8475645
    Abstract: A cooling water circulation apparatus is capable of limiting attachment of microorganisms and scale in an environmentally friendly manner. An electrolytic device 10 is provided on a cooling water circulation route R1. In the arrangement, mineral contents such as calcium ions and magnesium ions contained in cooling water W are deposited as scale S on an electrode 12A or 12B in an electrolytic step, thereby enabling the mineral contents to be removed from the cooling water W. Even if the hardness of the cooling water W is increased by evaporation of the water with elapse of time, the hardness can be reduced by the electrolytic processing. Thus, the deposition of the scale S in the circulation route R1 can be reduced. Further, the scale S deposited on the electrode 12A or 12B can be easily separated by operating while reversing the polarities of the electrodes 12A and 12B at predetermined time intervals.

  • Patent number: 8413937
    Abstract: A mounting assembly for securing a bracket, to which a side skirt may be attached to a frame of a wheeled container chassis semi-trailer. The assembly includes a support and at least one resilient securement member. A proximal end of the support may be mounted in a substantially outwardly transverse horizontal orientation to one side of the semi-trailer; a distal end secures the bracket in a position to maintain the side skirt in a substantially vertical configuration between the frame and a ground surface on which the semi-trailer is situated and substantially in line with the wheels on the one side of the semi-trailer. The securement members mount the support to the frame. The support may move relative to the frame in response to an applied force and is biased to return and maintain the support in the substantially outwardly transverse horizontal orientation when the force is removed.

  • Patent number: 7287340
    Abstract: The present invention provides soles, platforms, or inserts incorporated into footwear, preferably athletic footwear, designed to promote a more efficient running technique by an energy-translating sole comprising one or more angular displacement members, balance-thrust members, and counterbalance as well as conventional features. Systems and methods of the present invention promote more efficient running technique by facilitating foot-strike to occur at a point under and behind the runner's center of gravity. This may be accomplished, for example, by a foot-strike member, angular displacement member and balance-thrust member working cooperatively to displace the runner's center of gravity and translate gravitational, inertial and ground reaction forces, as well as muscular tension forces, into linear momentum.

  • Patent number: 7231336
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method for performing a glitch check in simulating a circuit. Current maximum and minimum values for optimization parameters of the circuit are determined. Next, a signal pulse characteristic for the circuit simulation is determined based on the maximum and minimum optimization parameters. A current averaged optimization parameter is determined from the current maximum and minimum optimization parameters. A prime criterion parameter is calculated based on the optimization parameters and the signal pulse characteristic value. If the prime criterion parameter converges into a specified range then measurement results from the circuit simulation are parsed and reported as final. If the prime criterion parameter does not converge, then the process continues by recalculating the optimization parameters until the prime criterion parameter converges.

  • Patent number: 7203918
    Abstract: A method for performing a signal integrity and delay check for circuit simulations is disclosed. Nodes of the circuit are selected and an optimization parameter is determined. The optimization parameter may be either the setup or hold time for the circuit simulation. The current optimization parameter is determined to be the average of the current minimum and maximum optimization parameters. A primary criteria is calculated in response to the optimization parameters. The primary criteria may be a bisection error of the circuit simulation. If the primary criteria converges to a prescribed range, then the measurement results from the simulation are parsed. If the primary criteria does not converge, then the circuit is simulated using the current optimization parameter. For a signal integrity check, switch difference errors are identified and used to set a new optimization parameter. For a delay check, delay difference errors are identified and used to set a new optimization parameter.

  • Patent number: 7131088
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a method for determining an optimized parameter for a circuit simulation. A circuit path for the simulation is determined, and maximum and minimum optimization parameters are decided. Next, the circuit path is simulated using the maximum optimization parameter. The circuit path is simulated using the minimum optimization parameter and a primary criteria parameter is also calculated. The simulations are compared to determine whether the same status (both succeed or both fail) is generated for both the minimum optimization parameter and the maximum optimization parameter. If the simulations do not indicate the same status, then the optimization parameter is recalculated and the circuit is simulated until the primary criteria parameter converges to a prescribed value.

    Abstract: A multi-pair cable including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, including first and second twisted pairs, each having a closing lay length (twist lay length measured after the twisted pairs are cabled together with a particular cable lay) of less than about 0.6 inches, the plurality of twisted pairs being twisted together with a cable lay of greater than about three inches to form the cable. In some examples, the multi-pair cable may further comprise a separator disposed between the first and second twisted pairs. In another example, a ratio between a longest closing lay length and a shortest closing lay length in the cable is less than 1.65 inches. In another example, the cable further includes at least one additional twisted pair of conductors having a closing lay length that is greater than about 0.6 inches, and the cable lay length is less than about four inches.

  • Publication number: 20060161413
    Abstract: A method for simulating large circuits in full-scale. To enhance the simulation efficiency, subcircuits are extracted from a circuit and thence a hierarchical structure is established using the extracted subcircuits. Subsequently, the circuit is partitioned and a current-voltage table for each subcircuit is dynamically generated. A transient analysis of the circuit is preformed at each incremental time step and a recursive latency check is preformed from the top to the bottom level of the hierarchical structure to determine the active part of the circuit. Using the current-voltage curves, a portion of the conductance matrix corresponding to the active part is rebuild at each incremental time step, which significantly reduces the simulation time.
