Publication number: 20100228404Abstract: A telematics method and system facilitates customizing a plurality of vehicle content files, parameters, and features based on edits and selections from a user interface. A telematics provider maintains a database comprising a table, or tables that associate(s) user identification information with a vehicle VIN and equipment/features/content installed in/on vehicle devices associated with the VIN. Database updates may occur automatically, or upon a user instruction, when a TCU wirelessly transmits current equipment, content, and feature configuration information to a TOC coupled with the database. The telematics provider's server may provide the interface that facilitates the user logging in and editing features, content, and operational and performance parameters currently configured/installed in/on the vehicle' equipment and devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2010Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Charles M.

Publication number: 20070284126Abstract: A pneumatic tool (20) for impacting a workpiece (22) is provided. The tool (20) comprises a casing (42) defining a chamber (48). A piston (54) is slidable within the chamber (48) along an operational axis (A). An exhaust valve (100) controlled by a pilot valve (200) slides the piston (54) by selectively introducing and releasing pressurized fluid into and out from the chamber (48). The pilot valve (200) includes a valve housing (202) defining a pilot chamber (204) with a plunger (206) slidable in the pilot chamber (204). The pilot valve (200) actuates the tool (20) by quickly releasing pressurized fluid from the exhaust valve (100) to atmosphere. The pilot valve (200) includes a spring-biased annular seal (214) that is releasable from a poppet seat (222) to perform this function.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Inventor: Paul Kirsch

A piston (54) is slidable within the chamber (48) along an operational axis (A). An exhaust valve (100), controlled by a pilot valve (200), slides the piston (54) by selectively introducing and releasing pressurized fluid into and out from the chamber (48). A tool bit (24) is slidable within the chamber (48) to impact the workpiece (22). Kinetic energy is transferred to the tool bit (24) from the piston (54) via an impact from the piston (54) as the piston (54) slides within the chamber (48). A shock absorbing valve (500) includes a floating collar (502) that is slidable along the casing (42) between two seal rings (504). A handle (34) is mounted to the floating collar (502).Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Inventor: Paul Kirsch

Publication number: 20050118764Abstract: Gate oxides having different thicknesses are formed on a semiconductor substrate by forming a first gate oxide on the top surface of the substrate, forming a sacrificial hard mask over a selected area of the first gate oxide; and then forming a second gate oxide. A first poly layer may be formed on the first gate oxide, under the hard mask. After the hard mask is removed, a second poly layer may be formed over the second gate oxide and over the first poly layer. This enables the use of high-k dielectric materials, and the first gate oxide can be thinner than the second gate oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2003Publication date: June 2, 2005Inventors: Anthony Chou, Michael Chudzik, Toshiharu Furukawa, Oleg Gluschenkov, Paul Kirsch, Byoung Lee, Katsunori Onishi, Heemyoung Park, Kristen Scheer, Akihisa Sekiguchi

Publication number: 20050054156Abstract: A method of fabricating a capacitor including an ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) step to generate a top-side barrier film layer including silicon nitride at monolayer quantities, and a capacitor so formed, are disclosed. The UHVCVD step allows silicon nitride to be deposited with monolayer level control, and is more successful at placing the nitrogen near the top surface independent of the base film thickness. The resulting capacitor exhibits thermal stability and meets leakage targets after, for example, an approximately 1050° C. thermal treatment. In addition, the UHVCVD nitride step allows for an in situ thermal clean and simpler process control because the reaction is thermally driven.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2003Publication date: March 10, 2005Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John Bruley, Kevin Chan, Paul Kirsch, Dae-Gyu Park

Patent number: 4749026Abstract: A device for stirring molten metal in a continuous casting operation in which the molten metal flows in a controlled manner from a reservior, via a spout, to an ingot mold is presented. The stirring device comprises an electro-magnetic inductor which is displaceable transversely in relation to the metal casting line with its magnetic core consisting of a unitary part with several arms arranged around the casting line at a distance from the latter and directed radially inwardly towards the casting line. In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, the core has three arms which are each provided with an electromagnetic winding and which form, between them, angles of 120.degree.. The inductor is preferably arranged around the spout, but similar inductors may be arranged around the casting line in the secondary cooling zone.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1986Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Assignee: Paul MetzInventors: Paul Metz, Paul Kirsch
