Title: Hinge assembly
Inventor: CHEAL JONATHAN PAUL ANTHONY
IPC: B60R21/34
Filed: 2007-09-01
Granted: 2012-02-15
Abstract: A hinge assembly 10 (110, figure 3), for connecting a bonnet to a body of a vehicle and allowing a rear portion of the bonnet to be raised in the event of a collision, comprises first 12(112), second 14(114), third 16(116) and fourth 18(118) links and a locking mechanism 20(120). The first link is pivotally connected to the second link. The third link is pivotally connected between the second and fourth links. The locking mechanism is engageable with, and releasable from, a lockable link, which is one of the second and fourth links, so as to prevent and allow, respectively, relative movement between the second and fourth links. The third link is pivotally connected to one of the second and fourth links by a moveable pivot 29(129), which allows the third link to be rotated relative to the second and fourth links. The third link or the pivot is engageable with the locking mechanism such that when the locking mechanism is engaged with the lockable link, rotation of the third link 16 relative to the second and fourth links releases the locking mechanism from the lockable link. A telescopic 22(122) actuator linked to a supply of compressed gas may operate to urge the third link from first to second positions.

Title: Passive impedance equalization of high speed serial links
Inventor: BANERJEE GAURAB
IPC: H01L23/66
Filed: 2007-01-30
Granted: 2011-03-09
Abstract: In some embodiments a passive impedance equalization network for high speed serial links is described. The impedance equalization network includes at least one stepped impedance transformer near points of impedance discontinuities. The impedance discontinuities may be at an interface connection between two circuit boards. The impedance discontinuities on a circuit board may be at a die-package interface and/or a package-board interface. The stepped impedance transformer may be formed in a package trace, a board trace or both. Forming the stepped impedance transformers in the traces requires no modification to existing package/board design methodology or technology. The stepped impedance transformers can provide impedance matching over a range of frequencies. To account for modeling errors in the design of the stepped impedance transformers integrated circuits transmitting data over the serial link may include active circuitry to select an output/input impedance for transmitters/receivers. Other embodiments are otherwise disclosed herein.

Title: Carbonaceous deposition reduction
IPC: B01J37/02
Filed: 1978-10-23
Granted: 1982-12-15
Abstract: The invention is concerned with providing substrates with coatings obtainable from sols, for example to protect the substrate (such as in nuclear reactors or hydrocarbon cracking plant) or to provide a carrier for catalytically active material. Hitherto, coatings obtained from sols have had a high porosity and high surface area so that they have not been entirely satisfactory for the above applications. In the invention, dense, low-porosity coatings are provided by contacting the substrate with a sol of refractory material (e.g. CeO2 or SiO2) convertible to a gel of density at least 40% of the theoretical density of the refractory material, and converting the sol to the gel. Optionally, the gel may be converted to a ceramic coating by firing.
