Abstract: There is provided a solder bump structure comprising an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer, a first solder portion over the UBM layer, the first solder portion having a first composition, a barrier layer encapsulating the first solder portion, and a second solder portion over the barrier layer, the second solder portion having a second composition different from the first composition.

Abstract: A portable anchor for use in a fall arrest protection system. The anchor comprises a base for abutment to a solid support structure, a post extending perpendicular from the base, at least one attachment point connected to the post for receiving a connector, and a rod adapted to be inserted through a central bore through the base and post. The rod has an anchoring section at a first end of the rod for frictionally engaging a portion of the solid support structure and a locking section in the vicinity of a second end of the rod for reversibly securing the rod to the post. Also disclosed is a fall arrest protection system that includes the portable anchor described above. Furthermore, a method of attaching the portable anchor to a solid support structure is also disclosed.

Abstract: An industrial truck has a tiller that can pivot around a horizontal axis and a traction drive motor that can be controlled by an operator by a traction drive switch. The maximum speed of travel of the industrial truck can be set by an electrical control unit as a function of the pivot angle of the tiller. The maximum speed of the industrial truck is a function of the pivot angle of the tiller. At least one segment of the pivoting range of the tiller is provided with variable maximum speed, in which the maximum speed of travel varies continuously with the pivoting angle. The division of the pivoting range of the tiller into the segment with variable maximum speed and at least one additional segment is made by the control unit as a function of the signal of a continuous or incremental sensor.
