Abstract: A pulsar based timing synchronization method and system are disclosed. In one example, a method includes receiving, by a pulsar signal receiver device, a pulse signal emitted from one or more celestial objects and processing, by the pulsar signal receiver device, the pulse signal to discipline a local clock to determine an accurate time output. The method also includes generating, by the pulsar signal receiver device, a timing synchronization signal based on the determined accurate time output. The method further includes providing, by the pulsar signal receiver device, the timing synchronization signal to at least one of a local power system device and a timing distribution network server.

Abstract: A fine arrestor having a body with a bore there through, an inner conductor within the bore, an inner conductor capacitor within the bore coupled between a surge portion of the inner conductor and a protected portion of the inner conductor, and an inner conductor inductor within the bore coupled electrically in parallel with the inner conductor capacitor. A first shorting portion coupled between the surge portion of the inner conductor and the body and a second shorting portion coupled between the protected portion of the inner conductor and the body, for conducting a surge to ground. Also, other coaxial in-line assemblies may be formed incorporating the inner conductor cavity for isolation of enclosed electrical components.

Abstract: A process of making a micro glass beaded retro-reflective material comprising micro glass beads lenses, which are partially embedded in graphic matrixes of binding material. The pre-fixed rotating axes of the micro glass beads lenses lie at varying angles to the general plane of the graphic matrix to achieve uniform visibility in broad range of entrance and observation angles. The gaps between the graphic matrixes allow the permeability, flexibility, softness and color of the base material to be maintained.

Abstract: A method for making coated fabric using a mixture of silicone particles and solvent to infuse the silicone particles into voids between thread fibers forming a woven or knitted fabric material. The fabric is formed using solvent and nano-sized silicone chosen in a size adapted to enter into the voids of the fibers. A controlled amount of coating is applied to one side of the moving fabric allowing it to be rolled up once dried by a blower and cured on the roll.

Abstract: A method of fabrication of the write head of a perpendicular recording head allows for production of P3 pole tips of width less than 200 nm (200×10?9 meters). The method includes fabricating the P2 flux shaping layer, depositing the P3 layer, depositing a layer of ion-milling resistant material, depositing at least one sacrificial layer, shaping the P3 layer into P3 pole tip, removing the at least one sacrificial layer to leave the P3 pole tip, and encapsulating the P3 pole tip.

Abstract: A retroreflective system comprising a monolayer of microsphere lenses arrayed in form of duplicative matrixes, the matrix is a group of micro graphic shapes line up in rows and columns, a matching binder layer of the above matrixes and a base layer of fabric or other substance. The reflective system will not fully covered the reflective area to allow seepage of moisture or air. The reflective system may comply with highest level in prevailing retrorflective code for safety garments.

Abstract: A method of manufacture of magnetic heads which include CoFe elements using CMP is presented. The method includes providing a slurry of Al2O3, adjusting the concentration of H2O2 in said slurry to within a range of 6–12% by volume and balancing mechanical polishing action. The balancing is done by adjusting the table speed of a mechanical polisher to within a range of 55–90 rpm, and adjusting polishing pressure to within a range of 5–7 psi. Also a magnetic head having elements made of CoFe material made by this method is disclosed.

Abstract: A magnetic head having improved overwrite capabilities and reduced fringing fields are described along with methods of making the same. The magnetic head has a first pole piece and a second pole piece. The first pole piece includes a first bottom pole piece layer, a pedestal portion formed over the first bottom pole piece layer, and a notched top pole portion formed over the pedestal portion. A gap layer separates the second pole piece from the notched top pole portion. The pedestal portion has a first saturation magnetization MS1 and the top pole portion has a second saturation magnetization MS2 that is greater than the first saturation magnetization MS1. The top pole portion has a substantially planar top surface over which a portion of the gap layer and the second pole piece are formed.

Abstract: A controlled nitrogen diffusion process is employed on a steel coil spring of a suspension system. One known process is that known as the Nitreg® process. Ammonia is introduced into a furnace atmosphere and nitrogen diffuses into the coil spring, creating a hardened diffusion zone which resists fatigue and fractures. The Nitreg® nitrogen diffusion process is a computer controlled menu driven process which continually monitors the process parameters. By regulating the nitriding potential, the monitored process parameters are automatically adjusted to achieve optimal results. The nitriding potential is the tendency of nitrogen to be absorbed by steel and is expressed as the ratio of the partial pressure of ammonia to the partial pressure of hydrogen. Additionally, the depth of the white compound layer can be regulated or eliminated, reducing distortions.
