Abstract: A chisel-type broadhead comprises a threaded ferrule laser welded to multiple blades. The blades are welded from both sides. The blades are welded to each other and to the ferrule. The ferrule and blades are configured to provide maximum impact strength to the broadhead. An optional feature enabling the broadhead ferrule threads to be tightened to the arrowshaft is provided. An improved method of welding the blades to the ferrule is provided.

Abstract: A system for installation onto automobiles that will detect forgotten or abandoned passengers and notify the driver by email, cell phone, car alarm, or other means and will allow relief or rescue of trapped passengers.

Abstract: A glide/burnish suspension assembly processes magnetic memory storage disks by “flying” a glide/burnish slider across the surface of a rotating disk. A glide/burnish suspension assembly as described herein includes mounting holes and a tooling hole that are compatible with existing Type-2/Type-4 glide/burnish testing fixtures. The glide/burnish suspension assembly includes a stainless steel loadbeam that is compatible with Type-8/Type-20 designs, i.e., the loadbeam is configured to provide the structural support and rigidity required for use with smaller glide/burnish sliders. In this respect, the loadbeam can accommodate 70%, 50%, 30%, and possibly smaller glide/burnish sliders. The glide/burnish suspension assembly facilitates the continued use of “older” Type-2/Type-4 fixtures to perform gliding and/or burnishing of disks using the “newer” Type-8/Type-20 loadbeams designed to support 30% sliders.

Abstract: An easily manufacturable disk drive suspension load beam lifter comprises a lift arm shifted laterally and vertically and cantilevered from the load beam by a web extending at an angle and for a distance from the load beam that is adjustable to provide a predetermined height and position for the lift arm above the disk.

Abstract: Excessive capacitive coupling in a wireless disk drive suspension having minimum dielectric film thickness for better mechanical properties is reduced by removing a portion of the wireless conductor immediately opposite the suspension conductors only to obtain reduced capacitive coupling and thus better electrical properties without sacrifice of mechanical properties.

Abstract: A disk drive suspension assembly of a flexure and a flexure support, the flexure having a tongue adapted to carry in gimbaling relation a slider in operating proximity to a disk, the flexure support and the flexure tongue defining cooperating structures which limit motion of the tongue relative to the disk to a predetermined range.

Abstract: A method for detecting and quantifying viral or subviral pathogens in the test sample in which antibodies against a component of the viral or subviral pathogen is immobilized on a substrate. The test sample is placed in contact with the immobilized antibody and then a DNA primer complementary to a fragment or the total genome of the viral or subviral pathogen is permitted to hybridize to the RNA or DNA of the immobilized viral or subviral pathogen. The DNA is then amplified and the amplification products are detected and quantified.
