Abstract: A needle park (54) for a package that holds one or more surgical needles (62) and sutures has a generally planar base (18) and two collinear walls (55, 56) that are perpendicular to the base (18). A cutout (58) near one end of the first wall (55) separates an end section (59) of the wall (55) from the base (18) and separates all but a top segment of the end section (59) from the rest of the wall (55). The second wall (56) is separated from the end section (59) by a gap (57). The end section (59) and top segment of the first wall (55) form a hinge that permits a needle (62) to be held in the gap (57) between the walls (55, 56). In an alternative embodiment, both walls (55, 56) have cutouts and resultant hinges, thus permitting the needle park to hold needles of larger diameter. Preferably, the material of the needle park is a moldable thermoplastic. The needle park is inexpensive to fabricate and permits a needle in a broad range of diameters to be held simply and securely.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and manufacturing techniques are set forth reducing semiconductor device susceptibility to alpha particle induced soft errors without having to add circuitry to the device, degrade device performance, cost, etc. In particular, the invention takes advantage of the attenuation effects of an alpha particle barrier layer (205) made of an insulating material such as quartz or polyimide combined with an electrically conductive stud (206) made of an appropriate conductive material, such as copper (which also absorb alpha particles), to provide an efficient alpha particle barrier (fabricated from the electrically insulative and conducting materials). Moreover, the thickness of the insulator layer is designed to increase the vertical distance between any alpha particle source, such as a lead/tin C4 pad (207), and the silicon surface where the active area of an integrated circuit (203) is located. According to one aspect of the invention, if the distance can be made large enough, with the novel alpha particle absorbing material being interposed between contact pads (a major contributor to alpha radiation within a semiconductor module) and a semiconductor device, then very significant alpha particle immunity can be achieved for the semiconductor device. The invention also provides enhanced protection from alpha radiation generated by ceramic packaging and package sealant materials separated from the active chip area by the alpha barrier described herein.

Abstract: A capacitor discharge engine ignition system that includes a charge coil responsive to a flywheel magnet for charging an ignition capacitor, and a trigger coil responsive to the flywheel magnet for triggering an SCR rapidly to discharge the capacitor through the primary of the ignition coil. Circuitry for automatically electronically limiting overspeed operation of the engine includes a capacitor connected to the trigger coil, and a voltage divider connected between the capacitor and the gate of the SCR. This capacitor is charged upon occurrence of each trigger signal, and during normal operation has sufficient time to discharge through the voltage divider before generation of the charge signal. However, when the engine is operating at excessive speed, there is sufficient charge on the trigger capacitor to gate operation of the SCR, short circuiting the ignition charge capacitor and preventing operation of the ignition. 
     A further feature provides for a transition phase between a lower and a higher overspeed limit. During the transition phase the ignition capacitor is limited charged or intermittently discharged.

Abstract: A method of producing a light conductive plate type light source, at least one light diffusing plate and a light reflecting plate are placed on the opposite illuminating surfaces of a light conductive plate in the overlapped state, and subsequently, a plurality of fixing members are press-fitted into the light conductive plate through the light diffusing plate and/or through the light reflecting plate with the aid of supersonic vibration applied to each fixing member. Thus, a securing operation can be achieved for the light conductive type light source at a remarkably improved efficiency regardless of the number of light diffusing plates to be placed on the light conductive plate in the overlapped state. In addition, the light conductive type light source can be produced at a reduced cost because no double-sided adhesive tape is required, and moreover, no supersonic welding operation is performed for each plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scaffolding platform (1) which is used in the scaffolding as a tread surface and is distinguished, with respect to known scaffolding platforms, by a much smaller transporting volume and by simplicity and solidity. The essence of the invention consists in that, in the case of the novel scaffolding platform, any frame reinforcement and separate suspension or fastening elements or suspension claws fastened on the frame are dispensed with. The scaffolding platform (1) comprises a stable and weather-resistant panel in unit dimensions predetermined by the geometry of the crossmember bearing plane and is mounted directly - without the interposition of further structural elements - on the crossmembers or supporting elements (2, 3) of the respective scaffolding plane. In order to permit the frame-like direct mounting on the crossmembers (2, 3), the corners (5) of the scaffolding-platform panel have clearances in them in accordance with the space requirements of the scaffolding uprights (4) passing through vertically in the corner regions. Consequently, during assembly of the scaffolding, after laying the scaffolding platform on the crossmembers or supporting elements, the desired installation position is produced immediately and without complications, and the scaffolding platform is secured against impermissible horizontal displacement out of the installation position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An inertia lowering control apparatus for a two-mass inertia system, the two-mass inertia system having a motor (induction motor), a load of the motor, and a flexible drive shaft having a low rigidity interconnected between the motor and load, is used to suppress an axially torsional vibration occurring on the flexible shaft in the two-mass inertia system. For example, the first-order lag filter having a transfer function as 1/(1 + ST F ) is added at an output portion of the Simulator Following Control section which serves as a disturbance suppression circuit together with a shaft torque estimating observer to estimate a shaft applied torque  ̂τ S . A simulation of the above-described example indicated that even if the observer gain of the shaft torque estimating observer was relatively small, the effect of suppressing the axially torsional vibration was remarkable.
