A retractable lifeline safety device usable as heights above the ground. The safety device is attached to the structure on which the worker is performing the task, and a lifeline such as a cable is withdrawn from the housing thereof, the end of which is attached to a belt or harness worn by the worker. The cable may be easily drawn out of the housing in response to the worker moving about normally in the appropriate work space, and the cable is automatically drawn back into the housing of the safety device as the worker draws closer thereto. However, should the worker fall, a brake mechanism within the safety device is automatically engaged by a sprocket and pawl system, stopping the worker's descent.

A silicon wafer used in manufacturing GaN for LEDs includes a silicon substrate, a buffer layer of boron aluminum nitride (BxAl1-xN) and an upper layer of GaN, for which 0.35≦x≦0.45. The BAlN forms a wurtzite-type crystal with a cell unit length about two-thirds of a silicon cell unit length on a Si(111) surface. The C-plane of the BAlN crystal has approximately one atom of boron for each two atoms of aluminum. Across the entire wafer substantially only nitrogen atoms of BAlN form bonds to the Si(111) surface, and substantially no aluminum or boron atoms of the BAlN are present in a bottom-most plane of atoms of the BAlN. A method of making the BAlN buffer layer includes preflowing a first amount of ammonia equaling less than 0.01% by volume of hydrogen flowing through a chamber before flowing trimethylaluminum and triethylboron and then a subsequent amount of ammonia through the chamber.

Motor drive parameters

The temperature (25, 33, 43) of solid state switching devices in variable speed motor drives (11, 18), such as elevator motor drives, are utilized to reduce the load on the drive, by reducing the switching frequency (50) or the commanded load (110). The choice between the preferred non-switching zero state and an alternative zero state is determined (60) by temperature (28, 34, 56) of the switched transistor's anti-parallel diode. The rate of recognizing reduced temperatures is limited (33, 34) to avoid motor speed and / or load variations. The temperature may either be measured (24, 27) or determined (70) from models utilizing manufacturer product specification and normalized thermal transient response from the transistor / diode package to a heat sink.

Motor vehicle with a power train having an automated clutch

The power train of a motor vehicle has an automated clutch which can transmit torque from a prime mover to a transmission in response to signals from an electronic control unit. The latter causes the clutch to transmit a constant torque during a first interval, to thereupon transmit a gently varying torque during a second interval if the operator of the motor vehicle fails to carry out certain necessary operations prior to elapse of the first interval, and to thereafter transmit a pronouncedly varying torque during a third interval if no remedial undertakings were completed during the second interval. The third interval is cut short if the engine tends to choke, and the full or shortened third interval can be followed by a fourth interval corresponding to the first interval or by a further interval corresponding to the second interval.
