Abstract: A method and a device for removing a vehicle from a parking space is proposed, in which parking space neither the size nor the distance from obstacles is known. By means of sensors attached to the vehicle, both the distance and the steering angle of the moving vehicle are detected and the distance from the surrounding objects is continuously determined. On the basis of the data, an instantaneous local map of the surroundings is produced in a computer module. The detected obstacles are connected using a polygonal progression as a barrier. A model of surroundings is produced from these data and used to determine a driving strategy for removing the vehicle from the parking space. Appropriate travel direction indicators indicate the travel direction to the driver of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrical receptacle terminal (2) comprises a  wire connection section (4), a rectangular body section  (6) and a pair of cantilever beam contacts (30) extending  therefrom. Insertion of a male tab between the cantilever  beam contacts (30) initially prises them resiliently apart  whilst passing first protrusions (34) at a forward end  (32) of the terminal, and then further biases apart the  cantilever beam contacts (30) when inserted between second contact  dimples (38) axially rearwards of the first protrusions  (34). Electrical contact is finally made between the  contact dimples (38) and the male tab, which due to the  short lever arm and the point contact, has a high contact  pressure thereby ensuring good electrical conductivity  between the dimples (38) and the tab. Certain applications may  require lower currents, and the insertion force can be further reduced  by providing cutouts (22,26) in the terminal body  section (6) to make the resilient cantilever beam contacts (30) more  supple. The latter can be done without designing new  connector housings or a new terminal, and requires only a  small change in the stamping process, which provides for  a cost-effective solution.

Abstract: A solar cell assembly is fabricated by adapting efficient microelectronics assembly techniques to the construction of an array of small scale solar cells (2). Each cell (2) is mounted on an individual carrier (4), which is a conventional integrated circuit (IC) package such as a dual-in-line package. Electrical connections are made between the cell (2) and the carrier leads (6) by automated wire bonding, followed by the emplacement of an optional secondary solar concentrator element (10,14) if desired. The carriers (4) are then automatically mounted and electrically connected to a common substrate (16), such as a printed circuit board, that has its own electrical interconnection network to interconnect the various cells. Finally, a primary concentrator lens assembly (22) is placed over the array of cells. The resulting panel is thin and light weight, inexpensive to produce, allows for any desired interconnection to be made between the cells, and is capable of high conversion efficiencies.

Abstract: A method of constructing a printed wiring board comprises the step of creating a printed wiring board panel (10; 82, 84) having a substrate (12) with top and bottom surfaces, having a copper film layer (14, 16) on at least one of the surfaces and having a protective foil layer over the copper film layer (14, 16). Registration holes are formed in the panel (10; 82, 84) including panel registration holes and circuit pattern registration holes with the circuit pattern registration holes being positioned adjacent a printed circuit position. The protective foil layer is removed only around the printed circuit position including the areas of the circuit pattern registration holes. Then a circuit pattern is etched in the circuit pattern position adjacent the circuit pattern registration holes. Then, the protective foil layer is removed from the circuit patterns only on the innerlayer panel so that the innerlayer panel is strengthened by the presence of a portion of the protective foil layer during processing up to the removal step prior to lamination. At an intermediate step, the circuit patterns are inspected and defective patterns are replaced by operative patterns (76) during the stacking process prior to multilayer lamination.

Abstract: To program a CMOS memory (140), an auxiliary bipolar transistor is formed in a P-well (113) adjacent to the P-well (111) of an NMOS device (131) of the CMOS memory, the auxiliary transistor being capable of forcing a large magnitude current through a fusible link, so as to program the electronic state of the CMOS memory cell into a prescribed binary (1/0) condition. A separate implant mask for the emitter region of the auxiliary transistor allows the geometry and impurity concentration profile of the emitter region to be tailored by a deep dual implant, so that the impurity concentration of the emitter region is not decreased, and yields a reduced base width for the auxiliary transistor to provide a relatively large current gain to blow the fuse, while allowing the doping parameters of the source/drain regions of the CMOS structure to be separately established to prevent thyristor latch-up.

Abstract: To lay a sliver automatically at the feed of a textile machine, eg drawing unit, spinner, knitter, the end of the sliver is brought to a defined holding position to be taken as the start of the sliver for transfer to the feed mechanism. The end of the sliver is first brought to a ready position before moving to the holding position. The ready or holding positions can be at the supply can in the centre or at its circumference. The sliver end in the can or extending downwards has a min length of 100 mm and a max length of 200 mm. When the can is being filled, the last section of sliver is taken as the start and placed in a ready position so that it is correctly placed when the can is moved into the holding position for the required feed unit. The sliver movement into the can, on filling, is ended after the can has been moved clear of the filling station to be laid at the trailing side of the can to be secured in place during the can movement to the textile machine. The can is not allowed to rotate until it is at the holding position. At the ready and/or holding positions, the start of the sliver is laid on a defined path in a preset length to be clamped near the start end while the sliver has axial movement at the trailing end of the path. The sliver is positioned above the textile machine feed from the can in the holding position, and clear of any other slivers. The start of the sliver is prepd and is given a partic starting length while any section which varies from nominal thickness is severed, or the length is achieved by drawing the sliver apart.
