Abstract: A method for protecting voltage regulator driver circuitry during a short circuit condition of an alternator field coil includes passively detecting a drop in field coil voltage during an on-portion of a duty cycle of the field coil voltage, wherein the passive detection of the drop in field coil voltage signifies an interrupt event. Responsive to the interrupt event, a logical state of a driver enable control signal is changed so as to deactivate driver circuitry associated with a switching device used to pass field current through the field coil, wherein the driver circuitry, when deactivated, prevents the switching device from passing current regardless of the state of a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal applied to the driver circuitry.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for creating a custom object comprising selecting an item of manufacture, determining a plurality of fields to describe the item of manufacture, defining at least one of the plurality of fields, generating an associated visual representation of the at least one of the plurality of fields in a view frame, moving the associated visual representation of the at least one of the plurality of fields to a layout frame in response to a design user input, repeating the defining, generating, and moving steps for the plurality of fields that are undefined, resulting in each of the plurality of fields having an associated visual representation in the layout frame, and displaying the layout frame as the custom object.

Abstract: A latch for use in a window with a top sash and a bottom sash. The latch includes a housing with a bottom wall, a pair of opposed sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom, and a rear wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall between the opposed sidewalls. A top edge of each sidewall and a top edge of the rear wall define a first aperture, a front edge of each sidewall and a front edge of the bottom wall define a second aperture, the first aperture and the second apertures form a bolt aperture that opens into a bolt cavity. A pair of opposed guide rails depend inwardly from the top edges of the sidewalls. A bolt is slidably received by the housing, the bolt having a body with a nose, a top and a pair of opposed grooves, the grooves slidably receiving the guide rails. The body is slidably received in the bolt cavity between a first position in which the nose extends outwardly through the second aperture and a second position in which the nose is disposed entirely within the bolt cavity.
