Title: Tooth Having Abrasion Resistant Material Applied Thereto
Inventor: CORNELIUS GREGORY S
IPC: E02F9/28
Filed: 1995-04-07
Abstract: Teeth are normally mounted on the leading edge of an earthworking implement such as a bucket to aid in the penetration of the material being worked. Furthermore, hard material has been applied to selected surface of teeth to increase their wear life. However in many applications the hard material is located on the surface thereof and is subject to impacts which cause the hard material to prematurely chip away. In the subject arrangement, a symmetrical tooth (10) is provided and has a raised lug (26, 44) on the top and bottom thereof each with a groove (30, 46) defined therein and filled with an abrasion resistant material (32, 48). Since the sides of the tooth (10) on either side of the raised lugs (26, 44) are thinner, they will wear at a quicker rate than the raised lugs (26, 44) having the abrasion resistant material (32, 48) disposed in the respective grooves (30, 46) therein. Consequently, the raised lug (26, 44) increases the strength of the tooth (10), the abrasion resistant materials (32, 38) in the grooves (30, 46) of the raised lug (26, 44) increases the wear life thereof and improves the sharpness of the tooth (10) during its useful life since the sides of the tooth (10) wear at a faster rate. <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid crystal display device
Inventor: TAGAWA AKIRA
IPC: G02F1/137
Filed: 1999-05-20
Abstract: A liquid crystal display device performs display by controlling transmittance of light from a back-light unit 22 by switching each pixel between two or more display states. When performing display, angles of inclination of longitudinal axes of liquid crystal molecules with respect to surfaces of a pair of glass substrates 1 and 2 holding a liquid crystal layer 14 therebetween are approximately the same in the respective display states. A slit plate 23 is also provided, which, among the light from the back-light unit 22, only allows transmission of light having an angle of incidence, with respect to a normal direction of the glass substrate 2, of no more than a predetermined angle. By means of this structure, brightness during black state is greatly decreased in comparison with a cell not provided with the slit plate 23, and contrast ratio is improved. As a result, a liquid crystal display device can be provided which shows high contrast, and is not influenced by scattering of light due to, for example, a colour filter.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve reliability and to reduce the time needed to a life test by dividing a wafer into chips after testing a semiconductor integrated circuit device of wafer form. CONSTITUTION:A wiring 4 for supplying a source potential Vcc is extended straight in respective circuit regions 2 and is further extended straight to dicing regions 3 among plural circuit regions 2. At aging, a ground potential Vss of a circuit, for example, 0V is applied to a P-type semiconductor wafer 1 by a wafer stage 20. Meanwhile, the source potential Vcc is applied to an N<-> type well region 9 through the wiring 4. As the wiring 4 is connected to the all circuit regions 2 of the wafer-form semiconductor substrate 1, a predetermined source potential Vcc for aging test can be applied to the all circuit regions 2 at a time. The aging test is performed by heating the semiconductor substrate from below of the wafer stage 20 by a heating coil 21.
