  • Patent number: 7263393
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel ring type sensor for measuring biometric information. The ring sensor includes a rest for an appendage and a wing pivotally connected to the rest. A biasing member supplies a compressive force to the wing (relative to the rest) such that an appendage from which biometric information is to be measured is snuggly held by the rest and the wing.

  • Publication number: 20070038489
    Abstract: A server-side project manager utilizes a set of web service APIs to create, update, schedule and manage projects on a server. A user submits a project update request when the user creates a new project or modifies an existing project. The project update request is associated with an API that calls the server via a web service to update the project. Example APIs include a data retrieval call, an administrative call or a data update call. A processor compares the project update request to any existing project definition to identify update values. A set of calculations is performed using the update values and any existing project definition. The project is updated based on the calculation results and stored in a data store.

  • Publication number: 20050278208
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing automated project management scheduling based on user input of contractual project milestone start and/or finish data. A project scheduling engine may be managed by provision of contractual start/finish data. The scheduling engine may restart a project management schedule at any point in the schedule based on the contractual scheduling data provided by a user of the schedule. Thus, a user of the schedule may manage one or more portions of the overall project management schedule without manually amending the schedule or breaking scheduling dependencies to cause the schedule to arbitrarily fit an initial schedule.

  • Patent number: 4099660
    Abstract: An apparatus for and method of shaping interconnect leads which have been cut from an interconnect lead tape and have a semiconductor chip attached thereto. With a semiconductor chip attached to the interconnect leads of one section of an interconnect lead tape, and either during or after cutting of such leads from the remaining portion of the tape by means of a punch and matrix, a pressure differential is developed across the leads and chip to shape the leads to a desired and repeatable uniform configuration. While this pressure differential is applied, the free ends of the leads are held in one plane, such that the semiconductor chip is translated to a position which is spaced from the plane in which the free ends of the leads are held, thus bending the leads to conform to this change in position. This shaping can occur either before, during, or after the free ends of such interconnect leads are bonded to a lead frame.

  • Patent number: 3947683
    Abstract: A pulsed source of high energy neutrons is used to irradiate the earth formations in the vicinity of a well borehole. Gamma rays produced by the inelastic scattering of the fast neutrons are observed in four energy regions of the gamma ray energy spectrum corresponding to the inelastic scattering of neutrons by carbon, oxygen, silicon and calcium. Signals representative of the carbon/oxygen, calcium/silicon and carbon plus oxygen gamma rays observed are developed. By appropriately combining these signals with a separately derived hydrogen index log the quality of coal bearing formations or oil shale regions penetrated by the borehole may be determined.
