The PCB manufactured by spraying conductive ink dispersed with Ag—Pd alloy nanoparticles and curing to form wiring according to the present invention provides reduced migration of Ag ions. Further, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing PCB which exhibits competitive price, and excellent conductivity and anti-migration. As one aspect of the present invention, a conductive ink comprising Ag—Pd alloy nanoparticles, wherein the Ag—Pd alloy nanoparticles includes Pd in the range of from 5 weight % to 40 weight %.

A mattress embodying a foam encasement surrounding individually wrapped coils and lacking a barrier separating upholstery layers from the coil assembly. Border material is affixed to sidewalls forming the foam encasement and the upholstery layer is tacked to a base of the foam encasement.

A warranty transaction system (30) includes a user interface (32) that receives a warranty request from a customer computer (20) using a communications network (12). The warranty request indicates an item a customer desires to cover under a warranty. The warranty transaction system (30) also includes a warranty generation engine (34) that generates one or more warranty packages that are consistent with the warranty request. The warranty packages are created according to one or more rules. The user interface (32) communicates the warranty packages to the customer computer (20), receives a selection of at least one warranty package from the customer computer (20), and communicates the selected warranty package to one or more warranty provider computers (40) using the communications network (12). In a more particular embodiment, the user interface (32) receives bids on the selected warranty package from one or more warranty provider computers (40) and communicates the bids to the customer computer (20). The user interface (32) receives an acceptance of a bid from the customer computer (20) and communicates the acceptance to the warranty provider computer (40) that communicated the accepted bid.

A flow control apparatus for regulating the flow of hot and cold water through a mixing valve and for preventing undiluted hot water from being inadvertently delivered to a common outlet includes a common chamber and a pair of diaphragm valves on opposite sides of the common chamber. It also includes a check valve in the common chamber for opening and closing the diaphragm valves. Conventional piping, preferably flexible piping is used to connect the mixing valve to a source of hot water and to a source of cold water. The diaphragm valves and check valve are connected and arranged to prevent the flow of hot water through the mixing valve in the absence of a flow of cold water. The flow control apparatus may also include a mechanism for overriding the mixing valve in order to deliver an undiluted flow of hot water to the common outlet.

Disclosed is an offshore, manned, scalable, modular, floating, moored, nuclear power generating plant and multipurpose platform. The present invention is comprised of a Main Plant Control Deck, Central Plant Deck, and submerged Reactor-Generator Deck(s) integrated into the structure of a Spar or Cell Spar Platform. The Reactor-Generator decks are comprised of a plurality of modular, Naval Nuclear Pressurized Water Reactor Modules. Electricity generated is transmitted via submarine High Voltage Direct Current Cables to shore. Ancillary, co-generated services, e.g. desalinated water, are transmitted to shore via submarine pipelines. Multipurpose Topside Decks house vessel command, crew, and any ancillary and co-generation equipment. The present invention, constructed in a multi-path manufacturing process, provides exceptional economic, environmental, sustainability, security, safety, and operational advantages over the current art of power generation.

Provided is a tray transfer apparatus having a transfer plate arranged and configured to support a tray containing a number of semiconductor devices in an array of pockets. The tray transfer apparatus further includes a driving means arranged and configured for the movement and positioning of the transfer plate. The transfer plate is provided with a plurality of tray holders that may be selectively engaged to support a tray and with detecting means corresponding to the array of pockets provided in a supported tray. In instances in which one or more of the detecting means sense the presence of more than one semiconductor device in a corresponding pocket of a supported tray, the tray transfer apparatus will generate an alarm signal and/or suspend operation so that corrective measures may be taken.

Computer systems and methods for providing a mortgage exchange with attributes of the NYSE, NASDAQ, CBOT, CME, NYMEX and other derivatives exchanges are disclosed. In one aspect, the resulting marketplace supports standardization, centralizes liquidity and provides price visibility of such assets. Further, the resulting marketplace provides the following benefits: being a lower-cost alternative to proprietary conduits; electronically linking separate pools of liquidity; enhancing transparency for buyers and investors; allowing the market to better price individual mortgage assets; and supporting technology advancements to better and more efficiently manage risks of investing in individual mortgages.

In a method of constructing a supporting structure (e.g. of a bridge or the roof of a building) in arched form, an initially straight or pre-curved frame structure, having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, is pivotally supported at the first and second ends, whereupon the first and second ends are pushed towards one another to achieve a displacement of the first and second ends relative to one another, where the reduction of the distance between the first and second ends causes them to pivot and the frame structure to progressively and flexibly bend, against its resiliency, into a final arched form, the displacement of the first and second ends relative to one another is chosen to amount to at least 1% of the initial distance between the first and second ends, where the first and second ends are then fixed relative to one another in their displaced position so as to preserve the final arched form of the frame structure.

A frequency stabilizer includes: a delay line interferometer that receives an optical signal corresponding to one frequency mode of a pulsed laser, divides and transmits the received optical signal to a reference arm and a delay arm including an optical fiber delay line, and then outputs an interference signal between signals passing through the reference arm and the delay arm; a photoelectric converter that converts the interference signal into an electrical signal; a mixer that generates a baseband signal of the electrical signal by mixing a carrier frequency signal; and a feedback controller that transmits a control signal generated based on the baseband signal to the pulsed laser. The optical signal passing through the delay arm is weighted with a delay time caused by the optical fiber delay line compared to the optical signal passing through the reference arm, and the optical signal passing through the delay arm is frequency shifted to a carrier frequency of an oscillator. A carrier-envelope offset frequency of the pulsed laser is stabilized by an offset frequency stabilizer.
