Abstract: A guide cap axially aligns a yoke to an input shaft of a steering system. A cap body has an opening receiving an end of the input shaft. A cap fin guides seating of the yoke to the input shaft by mating to a yoke slit. A finger projection engages a radial recess in the input shaft with a retention force opposing axial removal of the guide cap once installed. A fin notch provides limits to relative axial displacement between the guide cap and yoke and guides axial positioning of the yoke as the yoke bolt is installed, deterring inadvertent threading into the input shaft. The fin anchor mates to a notch of the input shaft providing stability to the fin relative to the input shaft, and fixing rotational position of the guide cap on the input shaft.

Abstract: Electrically programmable integrated fuses are provided for low power applications. Integrated fuse devices have stacked structures with a polysilicon layer and a conductive layer formed on the polysilicon layer. The integrated fuses have structural features that enable the fuses to be reliably and efficiently programmed using low programming currents/voltages, while achieving consistency in fusing locations. For example, programming reliability and consistency is achieved by forming the conductive layers with varied thickness and forming the polysilicon layers with varied doping profiles, to provide more precise localized regions in which fusing events readily occur.

Abstract: A product sampler including a substrate layer, a barrier layer covering the substrate layer, a gelatinoid product layer covering and in contact with the barrier layer, and a barrier layer covering and in contact with the product layer is provided. The gelatinoid product layer may include a microencapsulated product, such as a fragrance. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the gelatinoid product layer includes a microencapsulated fragrance carried in a gelatinoid liquid vehicle, which vehicle may comprise, for example, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, or mixtures thereof. In a highly preferred embodiment of the invention, the product sampler is in the form of a magazine insert having a protruding trimmable non-barrier substrate tab portion, whereby a user may remove a trim portion from the trimmable edge portion after binding the insert into a magazine without removing barrier material with the removed trim portion. Also disclosed is a product sampler in the form of a label.
