Abstract: A fishing line spooler is an apparatus that both spools and strips a fishing line. The apparatus is portable and mountable. The apparatus accommodates a variety of spinning reels and fishing line spools. The apparatus includes a base plate, a stand, a line-guiding plate, a motor, a main shaft, and a spool retainer. The base plate positions and upholds the stand. The stand offsets the motor and the main shaft from the base plate. The line-guiding plate directs the fishing line from a spool and prevents the fishing line from twisting. The motor rotates a spinning reel mount and a line stripper spool, individually, in order to spool and strip a fishing line, respectively. The main shaft mounts a fishing line spool. The spool retainer secures the position of the fishing line spool along the main shaft while allowing the fishing line spool to rotate about the main shaft.

Abstract: A method for inspection of tubular goods includes using ultrasonic detection means to obtain wall thickness measurement of discrete sections of a tubular good and recording each measurement in association with both the longitudinal and circumferential position at which each measurement was obtained. Accordingly each measurement of wall thickness represents a small portion of the wall thickness of said tubular in three dimensional space. A plurality of said measurements may thereby be displayed by computer means in virtual three dimensional format. Differing wall thickness readings made be represented by different shading or color display, so that anomalies of interest may be readily detected. Alternatively the recorded information may be readily processed by computer means to calculate the effect of stressors on the wall of said tubular good.

Abstract: A hub cap for a vehicular wheel. The hub cap includes a body portion and a wheel coupling portion, both made from a non-metallic material. The wheel coupling portion has circumferentially-spaced lug nut engaging members that are axially alignable with lug nuts extending from the wheel. The lug nut engaging members form a substantially arcuate shape, and are resiliently biased so that upon placement of the hub cap onto a wheel, the lug nuts push the lug nut engaging members in a radial direction. Continued contact between the lug nuts and their corresponding engaging members promotes secure connection between the hub cap and wheel. In one embodiment, the body portion and wheel engaging portion is formed from two separate pieces that are subsequently joined, while in another, they are formed from a single unitary structure to define a one-piece construction.

Abstract: A pixel sensor cell having a semiconductor substrate having a surface; a photosensitive element formed in a substrate having a non-laterally disposed charge collection region entirely isolated from a physical boundary including the substrate surface. The photosensitive element comprises a trench having sidewalls formed in the substrate of a first conductivity type material; a first doped layer of a second conductivity type material formed adjacent to at least one of the sidewalls; and a second doped layer of the first conductivity type material formed between the first doped layer and the at least one trench sidewall and formed at a surface of the substrate, the second doped layer isolating the first doped layer from the at least one trench sidewall and the substrate surface.

Abstract: A system and method for use with an optical communication beam of light is disclosed. The system allows the beam of light to operate at an adequate power level that provides a robust optical link while minimizing any safety risk to humans. Such a system includes multiple operating modes which control the power output of the beam of light. In the normal mode, the beam of light operates at a selected power level which provides a desired signal to noise ratio. Once a blocking occurs, the beam of light enters a power reduction mode to prevent harm to the blocking object. An acquisition and recovery mode is then employed to reestablish the blocked communication link.

Abstract: A hot-fill container is of one-piece plastic construction that includes a base, a sidewall extending from the base, a dome connected to the sidewall and a neck finish extending from the dome. The sidewall has an hourglass shape as viewed in side elevation with ends connected to the base and the dome. The sidewall includes a circumferential series of vacuum panels that are flexible inwardly with respect to the remainder of the sidewall. The vacuum panels preferably are rectangular as viewed in side elevation and concave as viewed tangentially of the container.

One or more descriptions of the stages are stored. Stage results are generated by independently analyzing each stage based upon the descriptions. Stage results from analyzed stages are combined to produce a single result set for the circuit design.

A determination is made whether the stage has drive fight and switching current. A detailed analysis is performed of the stage of the stage has drive fight or switching current.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating analysis of risks. Items, families of items, risks, sub-categories of risks, and categories of risks are weighted. Items are related to each other by a common business function. The risks are associated with each item. For each item, each associated risk is evaluated to determine whether the risk is mitigated. Risk ratings associated with the items or families are calculated using at least risk evaluations and weights assigned to risks and items. The risk ratings are summarized in selectable views which are based on the sub-categories or categories, and which are to be analyzed by wide-ranging levels in a business organizational hierarchy.

The gate signal name for each determined said occurrence of the second type of design element is than stored in a second list. A value of a design element characteristic and indicia thereof for each determined said occurrence of the first and the second types of the design elements is than stored.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software products determine a highest level signal name in a hierarchical circuit design. A signal path is traced into a hierarchically lower level of the circuit design from a predetermined net in the circuit design to a predetermined terminal instance, while adding indicia, to an instance history list, of each subsequent instance encountered. A port instance is determined on the terminal instance associated with a selected net for which the highest level signal name is to be determined. The selected net is designated as the current net. For each stored indicia in the instance history list, the net connected to the current net in a hierarchical parent of the instance identified by the indicia is determined, to establish a next current net. If a condition exists wherein there is no connection from the current net to a hierarchically higher level instance, then the current net is established as the highest level signal name for the selected net.

Abstract: Methods, systems, software products analyze a circuit design with reduced memory utilization. Access to at least one block of the circuit design is detected. If the one block is not loaded within a circuit model of computer memory, a determination is made whether loading the one block into the circuit model would exceed a predefined maximum utilization of the computer memory. If loading the one block into the circuit model would exceed the predefined maximum utilization, one or more blocks from the circuit model are unloaded and the one block is loaded into the circuit model. If loading the one block into the circuit model would not exceed the predefined maximum utilization, the one block is loaded into the circuit model.

Abstract: Systems, methods, software products utilize fast analysis information during detailed analysis of a circuit design. One or more design blocks of the circuit design are electronically analyzed to determine fast analysis results based upon assumptions of ported signal nets of each one of the design blocks. Next, it is determined whether hierarchical signal net connectivity of block instances of the design blocks and the assumptions match. If the hierarchical signal net connectivity matches the assumptions, the fast analysis results are utilized to generate detailed analysis results. If the hierarchical signal net connectivity does not match the assumptions, the one or more blocks in the hierarchical signal net connection are electronically analyzed to generate detailed analysis results.
