Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to packaging a quartz crystal, and more particularly to bonding a quartz crystal using sintering silver paste. In one aspect, a method of packaging a quartz crystal comprises attaching a quartz crystal to a package substrate using one or more silver paste layers comprising silver particles. The method additionally comprises sintering the silver paste in a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere and at a sintering temperature sufficient to cause sintering of the silver particles. The sintering is such that the quartz crystal exhibits a positive drift in resonance frequency of the quartz crystal over time. The method further comprises hermetically sealing the quartz crystal in the package substrate.

Abstract: An internal auction system may generate a quotation for the quantity of a product included in an auction published on the seller's e-commerce site so that the appropriate quantity of the product is identified and/or available on the successful completion of the auction. In conjunction with generating the quotation, a message may be sent to a seller's business information management system, such as for example an inventory control system, reserving an existing and/or anticipated quantity of the product to meet the quantity specified in the auction. This quotation may be rescinded if the auction does not successfully conclude. Otherwise, an order may be created in the business information management system anticipating the winner performing the necessary auction checkout procedures. The order may contain a block in order to prevent it from being further processed until the completion of the auction checkout process by the winning bidder.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a piezoelectric resonator. The resonator can have a base defining at least a first base portion and a second base portion and two or more vibrating arms projecting from the first base portion, the first vibrating arm being substantially parallel to the second vibrating arm. The resonator can define a generally planar first main surface and a generally planar second main surface defined by the base and the first and second vibrating arms wherein the first main surface is generally parallel to the second main surface. At least one groove can be formed in at least one of the first and second main surfaces of each of the first and second vibrating arms. The resonator can further have at least one vibration isolation arm projecting from the base, the vibration isolation arm being approximately perpendicular to the two or more vibrating arms.

Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to apparatus and method for facilitating improved efficiency, convenience, and device organization and protection for data acquisition with improved efficiency and organization, for example, while on the run or in the field. For example, in various embodiments the invention may include one or more quick locking and quick opening means for storage compartment(s), for example, one or more spring actuated and locking drawers may be included in a clipboard with one or more storage compartment(s). The quick locking and quick opening means may be spring operated to as to push the storage compartment open when actuated and/or to lock the storage compartment into place when the storage compartment is closed. The clipboard and storage apparatus may also be designed to be lightweight, durable and versatile by including a rubber over molded base, a contoured base, and/or may have a smudge resistant clear coat finish.

Abstract: A seller may use an existing product catalog in a seller business information management system to generate an auction and populate auction parameters to expedite and facilitate the auction creation process. The information in the product catalog may be used to provide auction parameters (populate auction fields) in addition to adding a product and/or service to the auction. An auction profile may also be defined for a seller and may contain data or rules for generating an auction that may be used to provide additional default values for the auction. One or more auction profiles may be associated with a seller. The seller selects a product from the catalog and chooses a create auction option resulting in an auction being generated from the product information and the profile, if one exists. The seller may then modify the auction parameters and add or drop products before saving the auction.

Abstract: An internal auction application may allow a seller to create a multiple auction for a plurality of products and allow a buyer to see and bid on the multiple auction as appropriate. The internal auction application may receive parameters for the multiple auction from the seller and an associated plurality of auctions may be determined for the multiple auction as a function of the parameters. The internal auction application may create and publish the multiple auction and the associated plurality of auctions on a seller's e-commerce site visible to the buyer.
