Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to obstruction detector assemblies, systems, and related methods for detecting obstructions along oil and gas equipment. In one implementation, an obstruction detector assembly includes a driver housing having an internal chamber and a plurality of fastener openings. The obstruction detector assembly includes a driver stem disposed at least partially in the internal chamber of the driver housing. The driver stem is movable partially out of the internal chamber of the driver housing. The obstruction detector assembly includes a driver head disposed outside of the driver housing and coupled to the driver stem. In one implementation, movement of the driver stem and the driver head is used to detect obstructions (such as a wireline) in a wellhead structure. In one implementation, movement of the driver stem and the driver head is used to detect obstructions (such as sand) in a valve.

Abstract: An automatic feeder system may include: an input bin configured to store at least one physical request slip; a feeder unit; and a support frame. The feeder unit may include a feed neck operable to automatically obtain a physical request slip from the input bin and convey it out from an outlet of the feed neck. The support frame may support the feeder unit so that the outlet is configured to engage with an input of a retailer system engaged with the automatic feeder system such that conveyance of the physical request slip out from the outlet causes the physical request slip to enter the input of the retailer system and cause the retailer system to generate a physical ticket for the game of chance based on the physical request slip.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a stitched space in a semiconductor circuit implements a photolithographic process for printing one or more image fields on a wafer surface, each image field corresponding to a portion of a circuit or device and including a space that is to be stitched in adjacent image fields. The space to be stitched that is produced from an image field is overlapped onto the space to be stitched produced from the adjacent image field, however, the overlapped space from the adjacent image fields is intentionally misaligned. The stitched space is then subject to the double light exposure dose to print the stitched space, with the result that an overlay tolerance of the stitched space is improved.

Abstract: A method of diagnosing alignment of a photolithography tool. A broad band source test is provided. A disturbing sequence is run that is not a portion of the broad band source test. The broad band source test is performed and post disturb test data recorded. A result of the broad band source test is compared with a tolerance. If in the comparison, the result of the broad band source test is not within the tolerance, the photolithography tool is mechanically adjusted.

Abstract: A novel method in accordance with the invention for generating diagnostic signals for power plants (e.g., automobile engines and other internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and the like) utilizes a digital storage lab oscilloscope (DSO), configured to display at least about five seconds of data at about at least 50 data points per second, to capture specific power plant information primarily from an oxygen sensor. A preliminary waveform analysis verifies that the oxygen sensor is functioning correctly. Then, the oxygen-sensor waveform is classified as to certain primary characteristics to produce gross-level diagnostic information. If necessary, the injector waveform can be used to further classify system or mechanical malfunctions. More specific diagnostic information is obtained by classifying certain secondary characteristics of the waveform.
