Abstract: An apparatus for heatsink attachment and a method for forming the apparatus. The apparatus includes a substrate, a semiconductor chip on top of and physically attached to the substrate, and a lid on top of the substrate. The lid includes a first thermally conductive material. The apparatus further includes a heatsink on top of the lid. The heatsink includes a second thermally conductive material. The semiconductor chip and the substrate share a common interface surface that defines a reference direction perpendicular to the common interface surface and pointing from the substrate towards the semiconductor chip. The lid is disposed between the substrate and the heatsink. The lid includes a first protruding member. The first protruding member of the lid is farther away from the substrate than a portion of the heatsink in the reference direction.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing aircraft maintenance and material supply by a business entity for at least one customer are provided. The method includes managing a plurality of maintenance activities for an aircraft by the business entity wherein the plurality of maintenance activities are performed by at least one maintenance entity separate from the business entity and the at least one customer. The method further includes managing a supply of aircraft parts to the maintenance entity from a plurality of parts suppliers by the business entity and outputting at least one maintenance activity to be performed by the maintenance entity.

Abstract: Turnkey maintenance of a customer's aircraft fleet is managed by a single management service provider (MSP) controlling integrated maintenance and materials services from a central operations site. The MSP converts data received directly from on-board aircraft systems into information it uses to manage maintenance service providers and parts suppliers. The MSP contracts with and manages maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations (MROs) who perform the maintenance on the customers' aircraft at line and base stations. The MSP either remotely manages part inventories at the customer's site, or manages suppliers who deliver the parts to the MROs. Maintenance planning, scheduling and execution information is exchanged between the MSP, MROs, part suppliers and the customers through a shared data communication network controlled by the MSP. The MSP charges the customer for the maintenance services based on a flat rate per unit of aircraft flying time.

Abstract: The invention features implementation of a flat triangular blade which has wo cutting edges and a sharp point. The blade is caused to move pointwise across a cylindrical can's diameter, with the plane of the blade perpendicular to the can's axis, so that the point pierces the can, the two cutting edges slice through the can in both directions around the can's circumference, and the point again, diametrically oppositely, pierces the can. The inventive removal of the residual contents and propellants from a spent aerosol can is optimally effective, because the invention divides the can into two separate parts, concomitantly subdividing the can's internal components.
