  • Publication number: 20240096596
    Abstract: The present invention introduces a plasma etching method and apparatus. The plasma etching method may include forming a photoresist pattern on a target etching layer, hardening the surface of the photoresist pattern by exposing to a first plasma generated from a first discharge gas containing a reforming gas including carbon (C) and sulfur (S) and sequentially annealing, and etching the target etching layer with a second plasma generated from a second discharge gas using the surface-hardened photoresist pattern as a mask.

  • Patent number: 11845403
    Abstract: A roof rack apparatus for a vehicle includes a roof rack mounting bracket, a roof rack stanchion, a roof rack side rail, and a roof rack pad, such that it is possible to ensure structural durability further improved by a fastening force between an insert bolt and a bracket fixing bolt at the time of assembling the roof rack apparatus with a vehicle body. The roof rack mounting bracket is symmetric in a forward/rearward direction and a leftward/rightward direction with respect to a center of the insert bolt, such that the roof rack apparatus may be used in common. An operator may replace the roof rack with a new roof rack without detaching an interior material (head lining) in the vehicle, such that it is possible to prevent damage to the interior material at the time of replacing and repairing the roof rack.

  • Patent number: 3937193
    Abstract: An electronic ignition system for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The ignition system is of the inductive type and includes an ignition coil having at least a primary winding and a switching device connected in series with it to control its current. An electrical signal is generated having a period equal to the period of the ignition cycle of the engine. This electrical signal is used to control at least one constant current source and a constant current drain coupled to at least one capacitor. The charging and discharging of this capacitor determines the initiation of current in the ignition coil primary winding and determines the length of time current is present in the ignition coil primary winding during each ignition cycle.
