Abstract: A method of manufacturing a pin (46) for a o mold (28) includes forming the pin (46) to include a substantially uniform initial hardness throughout the entire structure of the formed pin (46). The formed pin (46) is then processed with a hardening process, such that the processed pin(46) exhibits a hardness defining a hardness gradient that gradually increases from the initial hardness at a central interior region (56) of the pin (46) to an increased surface hardness at an exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). After processing the pin (46) with the hardening process, a coating (64) maybe deposited onto the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46) with a physical vapor deposition process. The coating (64) exhibits a hardness that is greater than the hardness of the increased surface hardness of the exterior surface (60) of the pin (46). The pin (46) may include, for example, a core pin, a squeeze pin, or an ejector pin.

Abstract: A track and hold circuit comprises an input buffer amplifier, a unit gain amplifier module, a sampling switch, a drive triode and a sampling capacitor. The input buffer amplifier receives an input signal. In a track phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to an emitter electrode of the drive triode; the input signal charges the sampling capacitor after being buffered by the input buffer amplifier, amplified without distortion by the unit gain amplifier module and driven by the drive triode. In a hold phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to a base electrode of the drive triode; the base voltage of the drive triode is pulled down until the drive triode is cut off; electrical charges on the sampling capacitor are thereby held, causing the signal to be held on the sampling capacitor.

Abstract: Methods for casting high strength, high ductility lightweight metal components are provided. The casting may be die-casting. A molten lightweight metal alloy is introduced into a cavity of a mold. The molten lightweight metal alloy is solidified and then a solid component is removed from the mold. The solid component is designed to have a thin wall. For example, the solid component has at least one dimension of less than or equal to about 2 mm. In this way, a chill zone microstructure is formed that extends across the at least one dimension of the solid lightweight metal alloy component. The solid component thus may be substantially free of dendritic microstructure formation, enabling more extensive alloy chemistries than previously possible during casting. Such methods may be used to form high strength, high ductility, and lightweight metal alloy vehicle components.
