Abstract: A scaffold system and method having a hollow horizontal member with an internal wedge head at each end thereof, and internal wedge assembly with an external handle, and a vertical member having affixed in coaxial alignment therewith at least one grid patterned rosette. Each internal wedge head at the end of the horizontal member is configured to couple to the grid patterned rosette coupled to the vertical member substantially simultaneously using the wedge assembly mechanism.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns embodiments of an apparatus and method for producing a filled-dough food product, such as a fruit-filled turnover (e.g., an apple turnover) or a single-serve pie, on an industrial scale. In one representative embodiment, the apparatus includes a filling-apportionment mechanism and a filling-transfer mechanism. The filling-apportionment mechanism is configured to apportion or separate a supply of filling pieces (e.g., pieces of fruit, such as apple pieces) into one or more portions of a predetermined size. The filling-transfer mechanism includes a vacuum pick-up device that is configured to pick up one or more portions of filling pieces from the filling-apportionment mechanism and deposit the portions on a sheet of dough.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for increasing well distributed, high quality-factor on-chip capacitance of integrated circuit devices are disclosed. In one aspect, an integrated circuit device structure includes a first metal line implemented on a metallization layer of a semiconductor substrate, the first metal line having a first set of metal fingers extending therefrom; and a second metal line electrically isolated from the first metal line, the second metal line having a second set of metal fingers extending therefrom, the first set of metal fingers and the second set of metal fingers capacitively coupled. The basic structure of metal lines with interlocking metal fingers may be repeated on multiple adjacent metallization layers, with the metal lines oriented either in parallel or perpendicular.

Abstract: A test vehicle for evaluating a manufacturing process for integrated circuits comprises a staircase of vias and traces arranged for maximum test coverage. The staircase may be combined with several functional cells to produce circuits that exercise many interconnections that may be designed at the minimum design parameters of manufacturing process. The accessibility of many testing methods allows an engineer to quickly find root cause failures and thus make improvements to the manufacturing process.

Abstract: A top accessible, pivotably mounted spring assisted blade locking mechanism provides a system permitting front loading capability through an opening in the front of the knife handle and a spare blades compartment accessible through a pivotably mounted side cover along with the employment of a pivotably mounted top accessible single blade retrieval system eliminates the need to separate the two mated halves of the knife handle to effect quick and safe blade change and maintenance of the spare blades supply. The importance of ergonomics is accentuated by the strategic integration of a smooth comfortably held shape with practical access of the required functions operating mechanisms.

Abstract: Certain cyclopropyl oxime ethers substituted by aryl and heterocyclic moieties possess broad spectrum fungicidal and insecticidal properties. These compounds are disclosed along with compositions containing these compounds and methods for controlling fungi and insects by the use of a fungitoxic or insecticidal amount of these compounds.

Abstract: This application discloses a display carousel including a stationary base, a polygonic rotatable support element, a bearing having an annular rim mounted on a support rod and receiving slots for product cards. The polygonic rotatable support element has a plurality of support faces upon which the product cards are received between lateral and axial restraints. The polygonic rotatable support element may be integrally formed from cardboard stock with a top and bottom.
