Abstract: A safety vacuum supply gas cylinder includes a cylinder body, a pipeline structure, first and second check valves (respectively having first and second check valve opening pressures Pc1, Pc2, wherein Pc1 is greater than an atmospheric pressure P0). The cylinder body has an opening and an internal space configured to store a gas, wherein the gas forms an internal pressure P2 smaller than P0. The pipeline structure, communicated with the opening, has first and second pipelines where the first and second check valves are respectively arranged. An external filling gas enters the cylinder body when a pressure of the external filling gas is greater than Pc1 and P2. The gas flows out when P2 is greater than Pc2 and an external environmental pressure.

Abstract: A vacuum supply gas cylinder includes a cylinder body, a cylinder valve, a pipeline structure, a first check valve, a positive pressure regulating valve and a second check valve. The cylinder body includes an accommodating space and an opening. The cylinder valve closes the opening. The pipeline structure includes a first and second pipeline. The first check valve is one-way and disposed at the first pipeline. The first check valve has an opening pressure for a gas flow direction from the second end to the first end. The positive pressure regulating valve is disposed at the first pipeline and has an output pressure having a direction same as the gas flow direction from the second end to the first end. The second check valve is one-way and disposed at the first pipeline and is in the same direction as the flow direction of the input and stored gas.

Abstract: Methods for spraying a coating composition, with or without a fire retardant, onto a wood product, and wood products produced by the methods are disclosed. The method comprises a two-component system comprising (i) one or more aliphatic isocyanate compounds; and (ii) one or more aliphatic amine compounds, and, optionally, one or more fire retardants which are stored separately and combined in a spray gun to form a mixture which is then sprayed onto the wood product to form an external coating on one or more surfaces of the wood product. Wood coated with the compositions disclosed herein have increased dimensional stability and are resistant to checking and/or splitting compared to untreated wood.

Abstract: A system and method for testing semiconductor memory devices includes a variable voltage input to a memory cell control gate. The voltage to the control gate can be varied from a voltage level used for normal memory cell operation, such as a read operation, to a voltage level that can be used to detect a defect in the memory device. During testing, the voltage level applied to the control gate is lower than the voltage level applied to a second terminal, such as a drain terminal, of the memory cell. In some embodiments, testing for defects can include applying a negative voltage to the control gate, while a positive voltage is applied to the drain terminal, which can reveal the presence of a gate-to-drain leakage defect.

Abstract: A method of detecting manufacturing defects at a memory array may include utilizing test circuitry to provide a selected voltage as drain bias on a bit-line of the memory array where the memory array is configured to employ a first voltage as the drain bias for a read operation and the selected voltage is higher than the first voltage, and determining whether a leakage current indicative of a manufacturing defect between the bit-line and another component of the memory array is present responsive to providing the selected voltage as the drain bias. A corresponding test device is also provided.
