Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a built-up bump pad structure and method for the same are provided. The bump pad structure includes a substrate, a bump pad disposed upon the substrate, a solder mask disposed upon the substrate defining an opening around the bump pad, and a conductive material deposited upon the bump pad such that the conductive material at least partially fills the opening around the bump pad.

Abstract: A control system for a hydraulic transformer providing hydraulic pressure to a fluid actuator has a hydraulic system for providing a variable pressure input to the hydraulic transformer, and a controller connected to the hydraulic transformer and the hydraulic system for matching the flow demand from the hydraulic transformer to the flow produced by the hydraulic system.

Abstract: A control system for a hydraulic transformer has a hydraulic system for providing hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic transformer, a controller connected to the hydraulic transformer, the controller for determining the input pressure provided to the hydraulic transformer and for controlling the operation of the hydraulic transformer based upon input pressure provided to the hydraulic transformer.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a electro-hydraulic system of an earthmoving machine. The electro-hydraulic system may include a pump providing fluid to at least one fluid system. The electro-hydraulic system also includes an engine connected to the pump, and a controller for providing a commands to the engine. The method includes the steps of determining a desired characteristic of the fluid system, comparing the desired characteristic with a deliverable characteristic of the fluid system, and generating a power boost in response to the comparison; thereby controlling the electro-hydraulic system.

Abstract: A method for creating and editing a Web site in a client-server computer network using customizable templates is provided. To create a Web site, the present embodiment first stores a plurality of templates in a storage device coupled to the client-server computer network. When a client computer generates a request to create a new Web site, the server computer transmits a list of templates to the client for display. The templates contain a multitude of editable objects or elements. A template is then selected upon which the new Web site will be based on. The new site is then customized according to a user's preference by editing the objects or elements. The customized site is then published as a new Web site. To edit a Web site, a client computer generates a request to edit a Web site and passes the request on to the server computer. The server computer transmits the Web site to the client for display. The Web site contains a multitude of editable objects or elements.
