Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an roofing shingle comprising a low penetration point asphalt reinforced glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a glass mat and a reinforcement material. In some embodiments, the glass mat comprises a web of glass fibers. In some embodiments, the reinforcement material is embedded into the web of glass fibers of the glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a sufficient amount of the reinforcement material, so as to result in a nail shank shear resistance of 13 lbs to 17 lbs, according to ASTM 1761 at 140° F. Methods of making the roofing shingle and methods of forming a roofing shingle from the roofing shingle are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method of exposing a wafer substrate includes receiving an integrated circuit (IC) design layout defining a pattern; determining a temperature profile of a mask based on the IC design layout, the pattern being formed on the mask; calculating a pre-corrected overlay shift for the mask based on the calculated temperature profile; and exposing a resist layer coated on a substrate using the mask with overlay compensation based on the pre-corrected overlay shift.

Abstract: A system for automatic call-transfer using a softphone, which applies the functions of a hardware telephone on a personal computer, is achieved by integrating a softphone system, a computer-telephony integration system, and a private branch exchange. This system is performed mainly in a manner of automatically fast swapping the first line and the second line of a call, when a call is transferred to an interactive voice system, for example, and this system can successfully compensate the fault that a holding noise emerges from the current telephone exchange device. When a call center operator talks with the customer, if the line needs to be transferred to a interactive voice response system but the interactive voice response system cannot pick up the line timely, this system can be used to transfer a call to avoid the customer listening the holding voice or rings of the private branch exchange.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a flyback converter by utilizing harmonic effect generated by a transformer thereof, after transferring electric energy in the transformer in a boundary mode, through cooperating with a simple control circuit to draw the charges stored in a main switch thereof out and enable the main switch to perform a zero voltage switch under a variety of loads in the boundary mode, which not only greatly reduces switch loss thereof, but also effectively limits an operating frequency of the main switch in a predetermined range to greatly decrease peak value of voltage caused by inductance leakage and have the advantages of high efficiency, high switching frequency and low noise without increasing the manufacturing cost.
