Abstract: The present invention provides a ground engaging device (10, 10.100, 10.110 and 10.120) which includes a frame assembly (12) having at least one first frame arm (14), and at least one second frame arm (16), in this case only one second frame arm (16). The at least one first frame arm (14) is located in a forward position relative to the at least one second frame arm (16) relative to the forward direction of operation of the device (10). There is also present at least one gauge wheel (18) being mounted to the at least one first frame arm (14) for rotation with respect thereto. The present invention also provides an improved parallelogram linkage, and a planter, fertiliser, cultivator or trasher with such improvements.

Abstract: A semiconductor package including a conductive clip preferably in the shape of a can, a semiconductor die, and a conductive stack interposed between the die and the interior of the can which includes a conductive platform and a conductive adhesive body.

Abstract: A system and method for dispensing microbial solution into a drain line. The system includes a disposable cartridge adapted to hold a quantity of microbial solution. The cartridge may be provided to the end user containing only a dry mix of microbes in a carrier medium. The end user may then remove a replaceable tab covering a fill hole, fill the cartridge with clean water, and replace the tab. The cartridge may then be inserted into a dispensing assembly, which includes an actuator that engages a nozzle on the cartridge at regular intervals. When the actuator engages the nozzle, a small amount of microbial solution is dispensed and routed through a tube to the drain line. The tube may attach to the drain line through a self-tapping valve assembly.

Abstract: A power module that includes a power circuit assembly in which power components are electrically and mechanically connected without wires.

Abstract: An enterprise planning and performance management system provides a variable-based modeling technique that enables users to interact with a more manageable variable-centric front-end for complex enterprise planning software. The system enables users to specify a plurality of variable definitions via a variable-based user interface. Based on the plurality of variable definitions, the system generates, and in some instances automatically generates, model data that defines an enterprise planning model. The system uses the model data during subsequent enterprise planning sessions. Because model builders typically comprise financial analysts unfamiliar with traditional complex enterprise modeling techniques but familiar with common financial variables of an enterprise, this variable-based modeling technique may facilitate easier model building by allowing these financial analysts to generate model data from the perspective of the more readily understood variables.

Abstract: A computer readable medium includes executable instruction to compare databases. The executable instructions are configured to identify when a segment of a first database is conditionally out of synchronization with a corresponding segment of a second database to establish a conditionally out of synchronization state at a first time. Executable instructions allow a latency period after the first time in which changes are made to the first database and the second database. Executable instructions also determine after the latency period whether the segment of the first database is in synchronization with the corresponding segment of the second database. Executable instructions also populate a resynchronization table, which is used by a replication mechanism to bring asynchronous rows into synchronization.

Abstract: A power module that includes a power circuit assembly in which power components are electrically and mechanically connected without wires.

Abstract: A substrate, which has semiconductor die arranged thereon, uses at least one solder flow stop, closely surrounding at least a portion of at least one mounting pad on which the die are mounted, to prevent die rotation during solder reflow. The at least one solder stop is non-wetting, during a solder reflow process, to solder used to mount the die.

Abstract: A striker for a fixed frame includes an opening adapted to accommodate a latch member of an opening leaf fitting. The striker includes a base that can be fixed to the fixed frame and an insert including an opening which can accommodate the latch member. The base includes an opening forming a housing for the insert.

Abstract: A plurality of semiconductor die, which may be of diverse size and diverse junction pattern, are fixed to a common lead frame and within a common package. The semiconductor die are mounted on respective main pad areas that are laterally spaced from one another and which have respective heat sinks. The heat sinks extend from the boundary of the device package and form external pins that are available for external connection at the same or at different potentials. Isolated pins are also provided. The device package may be used for high and low side chopper circuits, synchronous regulator circuits, single-mode bridges, and the like.

Abstract: In a nuclear fuel rod cluster in which the rods are supported axes parallel and held in spaced relationship by transverse grids, a number of auxiliary coolant spray pipes are positioned amongst the fuel rods. At least one grid has attached to it a target plate which extends between the fuel rods to deflect auxiliary coolant sprays on to the surfaces of portions of the rods which would otherwise not be cooled by the spray.
