Abstract: An air conditioning unit discharge opening includes an inlet and outlet side and a pair of spaced walls. Each of the walls has a mounting pin formed thereon, which extends in a direction toward the other wall such that the mounting pins together define a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. An air discharge nozzle has an inlet side and an outlet side and a pair of spaced substantially planar walls.  The nozzle is configured to be received within the air discharge opening with the planar walls of the nozzle in closely adjacent relationship with the planar walls of the discharge opening. Pin receiving conformations are formed on each of the planar walls of the nozzle. Each of the conformations includes an open ended slot extending into the wall from the inlet side and an arcuately shaped pin receiving socket formed at the inner end of the slot. The sockets are configured to receive the mounting pins therein in a snap-fit relationship and to allow pivotal movement of the air discharge nozzle about the longitudinal axis. In a preferred embodiment, one of the side walls defining the air discharge opening includes an outwardly extending tooth-like protuberance adjacent the mounting pin. The wall of the discharge nozzle adjacent the wall carrying the pin is provided with an arcuate tooth engaging conformation, which is adapted to releasably engage the tooth to allow movement of the air discharge nozzle upon imparting an external rotational force thereupon and yet holding the air discharge nozzle at a desired position upon release of the external force.

Title: Method and apparatus for time efficient retransmission using symbol accumulation
Inventor: TIEDEMANN EDWARD G JR
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1998-11-12
Granted: 2006-11-21
Abstract: An efficient retransmission of data using symbol accumulation wherein the packet received in error is retransmitted at a lower energy-per-bit level concurrently in the same frame with the new packet. The destination device receives the data transmission and retransmission, demodulate the signal, and separates the received data into the new and retransmitted packet. The destination device then accumulates the energy of the retransmitted packet with the energy already accumulated for the packet received in error and decodes the accumulated packet. The accumulation of the additional energy provided by th e subsequent retransmissions improves the probability of a correct decoding. The throughput rate can be improved since the packet received in error is retransmitted concurrently with the transmission of the new data packet. The capacity is maximized since the retransmission o f the packet received in error is at a lower energy level than that of the new packet.

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling a pulley side--pressure of a belt type continuously variable transmission mechanism (5) provided, in series with a starting clutch (7), in a transmission of a vehicle having a function of stopping engine idling so that an engine (1) is automatically stopped, if the vehicle start-up is controlled from the state of engine stopping in an ordinary way in which the pulley side-pressure is determined by that belt transmission torque (TQBLTNOM) corresponding to an output torque of the engine (1) which is obtained by the rotational speed and the negative suction pressure of the engine (1), the pulley side--pressure becomes excessive by wrong judgement that the engine output torque is large, because the negative suction pressure is small at the beginning of the engine starting. The durability then deteriorates and the specific fuel consumption becomes poor. As a solution, at a vehicle start-up from the state of engine stopping, a belt transmission torque (TQBLTSC) corresponding to that transmission torque (TQSCX) of the starting clutch (7) which is obtained by the engaging force of the starting clutch (7) is compared with a belt transmission torque (TQBLTNORM) corresponding to the engine output. The pulley side-pressure (PDR, PDN) is each controlled based on that transmission torque (TQDR) of the drive pulley (50) corresponding to the smaller belt transmission torque and on the transmission torque (TQDN) of the driven pulley (51). 24

Abstract: A packaging machine for enclosing items in a package delivers individual items, such as medicine, through a feeder that disposes the item between two strips of packaging material which are then joined together around the item by a closure member thus sealing the item in an individual package. The packaging machine demarcates upper and lower boundaries about the item such that the enclosed item may be separated from a continuously produced strand of packages. The packaging machine includes a selectively operable hole punch portion disposed adjacent the strand of packages for providing a hole in a portion of each package. The hole punch portion includes a punch driving member which is disengable responsive to unexpected resistance encountered by the punch. A cutter/stacker portion adjacent the strand of separable packages separates the strand into individual packages and stacks the packages in a removable magazine. The magazine has a rod member onto which the packages are inserted with the rod member extending through the hole in each package. A printer can be included for printing indicia on one side of one of the continuously fed strips of packaging material to provide information regarding the enclosed item.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and structures for facilitating the removal of integrated circuit devices, microelectronic devices or die from substrates and/or for testing the integrity of the bonding between such devices and the substrate, and preferably where the integrated circuit device is a flip chip. The invention provides. in one embodiment a microelectronic device or die having a ball and stud connector attached to a surface of the device opposite to the surface which is intended to be connected to a substrate. In other embodiments, the invention provides for methods and apparatus for removing one or more die attached to a substrate, or assessing the integrity of the bond between each die and the substrate. Each die having a ball and stud connector attached thereto is positioned or secured in a holder. A mechanism clamped to the ball and stud connector applies a tensile force to the die such that the tensile force is exerted essentially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate to which the die is attached and this results from the interaction of the mechanism and the ball and stud connector.  This results in removal of the die from the substrate without significant damage to the die or the substrate or for assessing the integrity of the bond between the die and the substrate by attaching a ball and stud connector to the die. No application of heat is required.
