Abstract: An integrated machine for fully automatic core drilling and direct pulling is disclosed, including a housing, a support member, a pulling mechanism, and a pulling joint. The pulling joint is configured to hold a top of a test piece for pulling testing. The pulling mechanism includes a worm gear motor, a drive screw set at an output end of the worm gear motor, a drive support rod, a tension sensor set at the other end of the drive support rod, an adjustable link block at one end connected to the tension sensor, and a pulling screw connected to the other end of the adjustable link block. The integrated machine has a simple structure, lightweight equipment, which can be handheld and easy to operate, thus do not need to have operating experience, thereby realizing core drilling and direct pulling test in one.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a power button. Examples include a device including a power button to activate a power supply of the device. A controller of the device to determine whether the device is in disabled power event state and to disable the power button when the device in the disabled power event state.

Abstract: A method of improving wafer yield by accurately identifying tilted wafer conditions may include providing inquiry signals in gaps defined between machine signals where the inquiry signals relate to temperature information indicative of a temperature of a hot plate having an item placed thereon, receiving the temperature information, and determining a seating condition of the item based on a comparison of the temperature information to an expected heat profile for a fully seated item. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A method includes providing an interposer wafer including a substrate, and a plurality of through-substrate vias (TSVs) extending from a front surface of the substrate into the substrate. A plurality of dies is bonded onto a front surface of the interposer wafer. After the step of bonding the plurality of dies, a grinding is performed on a backside of the substrate to expose the plurality of TSVs. A plurality of metal bumps is formed on a backside of the interposer wafer and electrically coupled to the plurality of TSVs.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first acoustic opening, a first microphone, a second acoustic opening, a second microphone, two flexible boots, and two chambers. The first microphone receives sound through the first acoustic opening. The second microphone receives the sound through the second acoustic opening. The first and second acoustic openings are spaced at least about 8 cm. The first microphone and the second microphone are identical and disposed in the flexible boots. The flexible boots are identical and disposed in the chambers. The chambers are identical.

Abstract: A system and method for a enabling transactions based on provided informational and transactional data. Data distribution servers provide e-mail and other messages of topical interest to a subset of the subscribers. The content may be generated by an OLAP based channel database system, and the output may also be communicated to individuals via spreadsheet programs data, pager, telephone, mobile phone, fax, personal digital assistants, HTML e-mail and other formats, including a workbook file attachment. Reports generated may enable a subscriber to perform one or more transactions is response to the content, thereby permitting interaction with the report.

Abstract: A system for a personal intelligence network provides informational and transactional data. Data distribution servers provide e-mail and other messages of topical interest to a subset of the subscribers. The content may be generated by an On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) based channel database system, and the output may also be communicated to individuals via spreadsheet programs data, pager, telephone, mobile phone, fax, personal digital assistants, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) e-mail and other formats, including a workbook file attachment. Reports generated may enable a subscriber to act upon the content within the report, thereby providing an interactive component to the report. Subscriber actions or inaction to the report and content may be obtained and analyzed, including analysis in connection with the other informational and transactional data.

Abstract: A cap has a body with an opening defined in one end of the body. A floor is formed in the opening and is parallel to an end wall of the body defining the opening. An annular flange perpendicularly extends from the floor in the opening. With a specific mold and a specific process, the cap can be formed with a die casting process without draft allowance. The process for forming the cap is simple and the cost for manufacturing the cap is low.

Abstract: A method has the steps of forming a metal mold with a specific scale, feeding molten material with a desired temperature into the cylinder, injecting the molten material into the impression at a specific speed, and cooling the molten material to solidify. With such a method, a cap without draft allowance is formed, such that the process for forming the cap is simple and the cost for manufacturing the cap low.

Abstract: A strip safe-releasing device using ratchets is disclosed. A body and handle is connected by a shaft. Since the stopping piece of the body with respect to the handle is installed with a sliding groove. Thereby, the handle can be rotated so that the stopping piece is inserted into the sliding groove, then the convex portion ejects the buckle to release the ratchet. Thereby, the shaft is driven by the reaction force of the strip so as to release the tension of the strip. Since the rotation of the ratchet will synchronously drive the convex portion of the handle not to eject the buckle. Thus, the buckle moves forwards to engage the ratchet and confine the rotation of the shaft. Therefore, each time the shaft rotate through a few angles, the tension releases a little. Therefore, the tension of the strip is released step by step in a safe way.

Abstract: A power-saving infrared-detecting receiving system composed of a micro-controller serving as a main control unit of the receiving system, an infrared module powered through the micro-controller for receiving a modulated infrared signal emitted by a remote controller used together with the receiving system, and an ultra-low power-consuming and independently powered predetector For detecting a low-frequency infrared front guide signal emitted by the remote controller. The receiving system is normally in a standby state in which only a very low power is consumed by the predetector to detect the infrared front guide signal emitted by the remote control for triggering the micro-controller. When the micro-controller is triggered, the receiving system enters into an operational state and sufficient current is supplied to the infrared module for it to receive a complete modulated infrared signal emitted by the remote controller.
