Publication number: 20160339579Abstract: A component for a bit driving tool is taught having a mid-chamber telescopically received in an outer chamber, a bit storage chamber formed in the mid-chamber and surrounding and rotatable about a central bore, a central rod axially movable through the central bore when the mid-chamber is telescopically retracted into the outer chamber and a flexible arm comprising a magnetic end, movable into and out of axial alignment with the central bore. Telescopic extension of the mid-chamber out of the outer chamber positions the magnetic end of the flexible arm to magnetically connect with a rear end of a bit stored in the bit storage chamber and telescopic retraction of the component moves the flexible arm and the magnetically connected bit radially into the central bore and wherein further telescope retraction of the component pushes the bit axially through and out of the component. A locking tip for use with a bit driving unit is also taught.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2015Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Binh PHAM, Alan Kent FARRELL

Patent number: 9298868Abstract: A technique for generating pushdown data comprises performing logical pushdown of circuit elements and nets and detecting physical pushdown based on partition boundary crossings. Geometry associated with one logical level may be used as a keep-out region for the same physical layer when generating physical design of a different logical level. The technique may advantageously enable concurrent design in both top-level and low-level physical design phases, thereby reducing overall design cycle time in developing an integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Vikas Agrawal, Shrivathsa Bhargavravichandran, Binh Pham, Jay Chen, Sridhar Krishnamurthy, Umang Shah, Chi Keung Lee

Publication number: 20150202752Abstract: A component of a bit driving tool is presented, having a mid-chamber, telescopically received in an outer chamber. A bit storage chamber is formed in the mid-chamber, surrounding and rotatable about a central. A central rod extends through and out of the outer chamber. A dual lever arm comprising a first magnetic end and a second end is pivotably connected to the central rod such that the dual lever arm pivots into and out of axial alignment with the central bore. Telescopic extension of the mid-chamber out of the outer chamber positions the dual lever arm to magnetically connect with a rear end of a bit stored in the bit storage chamber and telescopic retraction of the component pivots the bit radially inwardly into the central chamber and wherein further telescope retraction of the component pushes the bit through the central chamber until the bit extends out of the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2015Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Alan Kent FARRELL, Binh PHAM

Patent number: 8718113Abstract: An apparatus for dehydrating a liquid sample of biological material has a microwave waveguide that is open to the atmosphere. It has a microwave generator, means for introducing a container of the material into the waveguide, means for evacuating the container, means for rotating the container and means for removing the container from the waveguide. It can include means for moving the container through the waveguide and for sealing it. In a dehydration method, a container of the liquid sample is put into the open waveguide, evacuated, rotated at high speed and microwaved. The container of dehydrated material is then removed from the waveguide. The apparatus and method are particularly suitable for dehydrating vaccines.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: EnWave CorporationInventors: Timothy D. Durance, Jun Fu, Parastoo Yaghmaee, Robert L. Pike, Vu Truong, Binh Pham
