Abstract: A window clamp is used to hold a vehicle window within a vehicle door. The window clamp includes first and second clamp arms that are secured together with a fastener. A seal is inserted into a gap between first and second clamp arms. The seal includes first and second seal arms that engage both side surfaces of the vehicle window. The first and second clamp arms each include a slot. Portions of the seal are snapped into each slot to secure the seal to the window clamp.

Abstract: A rail bracket is attached to a window rail with a rivet. The rivet has a non-circular shape, such as an oval shape, which cooperates with an opening in the rail bracket to prevent the rail bracket from rotating relative to the window rail during riveting.

Abstract: Photodetectors are constructed with ternary semiconductor alloys, for which the band gap varies with composition, to fabricate a photodetector and optical filter combination. The detectors are part of a measuring system that measures, stores and displays UV intensity versus time, peak intensity, total UV energy and temperature. It simultaneously measures a plurality of different UV ranges and temperatures. The output of the sensing system is converted to digital form and displayed on a visually perceptible device. Preferably total UV dosage and peak intensity are displayed for each monitored UV band, together with the maximum temperature. By manufacturing the photodetectors and filters with a ternary semiconductor alloy, sensors can be constructed which have a photoresponse to light in a narrow wavelength band and are blind to light outside of the wavelength band. Each sensor includes a filter and photodetector section, each of which includes ternary semiconductor alloys (i.e.

Abstract: A bladder shell for inflatable balls having a layer of blended synthetic latex and natural rubber latex compounded with an anti-oxidant, an activator, an accelerator, a thickening agent, a wetting agent, and a stabilizer etc. to form a low air permeability and high bounce bladder shell having thickness of between 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm. Also disclosed is a process for the preparation of the bladder shell that includes dipping former in a bath of blended natural rubber latex and synthetic latex.

Abstract: A bladder shell for inflatable balls having at least a pair of layers of compounded synthetic latex and compounded natural rubber latex or at least a layer of blended synthetic latex and natural rubber latex compounded with anti-oxidant, activators, accelerators, thickening and wetting agents, stabilizers etc. to form a low air permeability and high bounce bladder shell having thickness of between 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm.

Abstract: A bladder shell for inflatable balls having at least a pair of layers of compounded synthetic latex and compounded natural rubber latex or at least a layer of blended synthetic latex and natural rubber latex compounded with anti-oxidant, activators, accelerators, thickening and wetting agents, stabilizers etc. to form a low air permeability and high bounce bladder shell having thickness of between 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm. The present invention also defines a process for the preparation of the bladder shell comprising formation of at least a layer of natural rubber latex and a synthetic latex each. The process of the present invention comprises dipping the former in not only a natural rubber latex bath but also in the synthetic latex bath. In an another embodiment, the process comprises dipping the former in the bath comprising blended natural rubber latex and synthetic latex.

Abstract: A pipelined CPU executing instructions of variable length, and referencing memory using various data widths. Macroinstruction pipelining is employed (instead of microinstruction pipelining), with queuing between units of the CPU to allow flexibility in instruction execution times. A wide bandwidth is available for memory access; fetching 64-bit data blocks on each cycle. A floating point processor function is integrated on-chip, with enhanced speed due to a bypass technique; a trial mini-rounding is done on low-order bits of the result, and if correct, the last stage of the floating point processor can be bypassed, saving one cycle of latency.
