Abstract: A method for providing conductive paths into a hermetically sealed cavity is described. The sealed cavity is formed utilizing a silicon-glass micro-electromechanical structure (MEMS) process and the method includes forming recesses on a glass substrate everywhere that a conductive path is to pass into the cavity, and forming conductive leads in and around the recesses. A glass layer is deposited over the substrate, into the recesses, and over the conductive leads and then planarized to expose portions of the conductive leads. A sealing surface is formed on at least a portion of the glass layer. Silicon is then bonded to the sealing surface of the planarized glass layer, the wafer being configured such that a portion of each lead is within the sealed cavity and a portion of each lead is outside the sealed cavity.

Abstract: A method for converting a single-hull vessel to a double hull vessel, and the converted double hull vessel, is disclosed. The single hull vessel to be converted has an outer hull surrounding a center cargo tank flanked by a port wing tank and a starboard wing tank, with spaced-apart transverse bulkheads extending between the port and starboard wing tanks to form one or more central tanks. An elevated floor is added to the central cargo tanks by installing new bottom plating spanning the transverse bulkheads and the sidewalls of the wing tanks. Support members are added to increase the strength of the elevated floor, the cargo tank, and the wing tanks, as needed. A sealed compartment is formed by the new elevated floor, the outer hull, and the sidewalls and bulkheads to protect the cargo from leaking out of the vessel should the integrity of the single hull be breached. The method achieves conversion of the single hull vessel to a double hull construction without breaching the integrity of the pre-existing single outer hull, and thus is faster and easier in converting single hull vessels to minimize cost of conversion and vessel outage.

Abstract: An aluminum silicon die cast alloy having a very low iron content and relatively high strontium content that prevents soldering to dies into die casting process. The alloys of the present invention also have a modified eutectic silicon and modified iron morphology, when iron is present, resulting in low microporosity and high impact properties. The alloy comprises 6-22% by weight silicon, 0.05 to 0.20% by weight strontium and the balance aluminum. Preferably, the alloy of the present invention contains in weight percent: 6-20% silicon, 0.05-0.10% strontium, 0.40% maximum iron and most preferably 0.20% maximum iron, 4.5% maximum copper, 0.50% maximum manganese, 0.60% maximum magnesium, 3.0% maximum zinc, balance aluminum. On cooling from the solution temperature, the strontium serves to modify the eutectic silicon structure as well as create an iron phase morphology change if iron is present, facilitating feeding through the aluminum interdendritic matrix. This, in turn, creates a finished die cast product with extremely low levels of microporosity defects. The strontium content also appears to create a non-wetting monolayer of strontium atoms on the surface of a molten casting, preventing die soldering, even at very low iron contents. The alloy may be used to cast any type of object and is particularly suited for casting outboard marine propellers, driveshaft housings, gear case housings, Gimbel rings and engine blocks.

Abstract: A patient monitoring/defibrillation instrument displays patient vital signs in numeric form or as graphical waveform traces. Under normal room lighting conditions the numeric and waveform information is displayed in color against a black or gray background. When the patient monitor is operated outside or in bright light, the user has the option to select a color map for display of the patient vital signs information in a highly contrasting manner such as black numeric or waveform information against a bright background such as yellow. The high contrast display, while being objectionable in most indoor settings, has been found to comfortably and effectively display the monitored information in sunlight without the need to increase power to the display.

Abstract: There is disclosed a signal amplifier apparatus (1) with multiple signal channels (2) and a multiplicity of pre-transmission signal amplifiers (6) each one of which, when idle, is made available to and adapted for use by any of the signal channels requiring it. An allocating means (3) intermediate the signal channel sources (2) and the amplifiers (6) monitors signal amplifiers and allocates idle amplifiers to signal channels requiring amplification. Characteristics of the allocated amplifier (e.g. frequency response) are adjusted, if required, to adapt to the needs of the channel to which the amplifier is allocated. In this way, signal channels are not restricted to a single dedicated pre-transmission signal amplifier and may employ any idle one of the multiplicity of amplifiers as and when available. This adaptive sharing of a limited number of amplifiers effectively reduces the time a given signal, upon a signal transmission channel, is required to queue awaiting transmission. The apparatus is suitable for use in the HF and UHF bands.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a connecting rod assembly having a stepped small end. The method includes defining a small end (56) of a connecting rod assembly having a terminal end and defining a pin bore (64) extending therethrough. A pair of channels (66, 68) are formed on opposite sides of the small end (56), perpendicular to the pin bore (64) and a bushing (82) is subsequently installed into the pin bore (64). Where a connecting rod assembly does not include a bushing the method includes defining a small end having a pin bore and forming pair of channels on opposite sides of the small end. A contact surface is then defined within the pin bore to engage a piston pin and the small end is machined to provide a stepped configuration. The connecting rod assembly is then machined to reduce the width of the small end to provide a stepped configuration.
