Abstract: A method of joining a razor blade to a blade support to form a razor blade assembly, the method including: directing a laser beam having an adjustable power output at an upper surface of the razor blade; and while advancing the laser beam along the razor blade: a) applying the laser beam at a first power output to the razor blade; b) reducing the first power output of the laser beam to a second power output; and c) applying the laser beam at the second power output to the razor to form a weld area joining the razor blade to the blade support. The weld area may be elongated and may include (i) a ratio of depth:width that is greater than about 2:1, and/or (ii) a ratio of length:width that is greater than about 5:1.

Abstract: A modular test instrument for performing tests and measurements in a network is disclosed. The modular test instrument may include a modular processing unit comprising a processor and memory, the modular processing unit connectable to at least one modular test unit or modular test subunit. The modular test instrument may also include a modular display unit connectable to the modular processing unit or the modular test unit. Display modularity may enable quick and cost-efficient display replacement when damage, malfunction, or failure is incurred. Furthermore, the modular test instrument may include an additional modular test subunit connectable to at least one of the modular processing unit or the modular test unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, methods, and devices for generating high-pressure gas such as hydrogen and oxygen. In one aspect, an apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a reactor which includes a pressure vessel containing a metal compound configured to react with a liquid to generate the high-pressure gas when the liquid is available in the vessel. The reactor includes an outlet configured to pass the generated high-pressure gas out of the vessel. The apparatus also includes a receiver configured to store the generated high-pressure gas generated in the vessel and passed to a receiver via the outlet or passed directly to fuel cell or vehicle tank.

Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the invention, a recall transaction is issued if a tag filter entry needs to be freed up for an incoming transaction. Directory entries chosen for a recall transaction are pushed into a fully associative structure called victim buffer. If this structure gets full, then an entry is selected from entries inside the victim buffer for the recall.

Abstract: A slope sensitive pitch adjustor for a bicycle seat includes a rotatable seat support, a gravity sensor mounted thereto, a means for rotating the rotatable seat support, and an automated controller configured to drive the rotating means in response to an acceleration signal received from the gravity sensor. The automated controller stores data representing an initial condition of a pitch angle of the rotatable seat support with respect to horizontal and executes a control algorithm to maintain the initial condition when the bicycle is ridden over changing gradients.
