An interconnect for an electrical component. Generally, interconnects of the invention include a substrate, a pair of leads supported on the substrate, and a shunt extending between the leads. In one aspect of the present invention, the shunt comprises an eroded carbonized area of a surface of a carbonizable material.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a triple torsion axle system and kit with various features to help reduce or prevent damage that otherwise may occur with large loads. For example, each axle assembly includes larger diameter caps on the ends of each torsion bar to prevent the bar from pulling out of its outer tube during high side loads. In another example, the outer end of the torsion bar has a rounded surface that is fixed to a swing arm so as to better equalize the stress around the weld joint. Additionally, the triple torsion axle is configured such that when the vehicle is unloaded, the middle axle assembly supports more weight than the two adjacent axle assemblies. However, when the vehicle is loaded, all three axle assemblies provide similar support to the vehicle.

The present invention concerns a joining structure and a substrate-joining method using the same. The joining structure comprises a substrate, and comprises a plurality of joining patterns which are located on the said substrate and which are spaced apart from each other. The substrate-joining method using the joining structure can comprise: a stage involving the formation of a plurality of joining patterns which are spaced apart from each other on a first substrate; and a stage of joining a second substrate on the plurality of joining patterns. When the said joining structure is employed, it is possible to reduce or prevent damage due to spreading of the joining substance during joining of the two substrates.

A centralizer assembly having a tubular body member with upper and lower channels extending around the external surface of said central tubular body member. A bow spring assembly having bow spring members is installed around the outer surface of the tubular body member and can rotate about the outer surface of the central tubular body member. Bow spring heel supports prevent the bow spring members from contacting the outer surface of the central tubular member when compressed. Non-abrasive materials prevent damage to wellhead or other polished bore receptacles. A robust bolster frame protects the centralizer assembly during shipping, storage or other periods of non-use.

A gasifier injection module includes a two-stage slurry splitter and an injector face plate with a coolant system incorporated therein. The two-stage slurry splitter includes a main cavity into which a main slurry flow is provided. The main cavity includes a plurality of first stage flow dividers that divide the main slurry flow into a plurality of secondary slurry flows that flow into a plurality of secondary cavities that extend from the main cavity. Each secondary cavity includes a plurality of second stage flow dividers that divide each secondary slurry flow into a plurality of tertiary slurry flows that flow into a plurality of slurry injection tubes extending from the secondary cavities. The tertiary flows are injected as high pressure slurry streams into the gasification chamber via the slurry injection tubes. A reactant is impinged at high pressure, as an annular shaped spray, on each high pressure slurry stream via a plurality of annular impinging orifices incorporated into the injector face plate. The coolant system incorporated within the injector face plate maintains the injector face plate at a temperature sufficient to substantially reduce or prevent damage to the injector face plate by high temperatures and / or abrasive matter created by the resulting gasification reaction.

A device for rear impact mitigation of a vehicle is disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the device includes a Y-shaped frame having a first leg, a second leg, and a reaction member, the reaction member having a first end and a second end, the first leg and the second leg extending from the first end of the reaction member at a first area and defining an angle therebetween, the reaction member having a straight portion proximate the first end and a curved portion defining a second area proximate the second end, wherein the frame is configured to deform at one or more of the first area and the second area upon application of a force from a rear impact event to the vehicle.

A display apparatus includes first and second substrates, a first side sealing layer, a ground connecting part, a flexible film, a driving circuit substrate, and a backlight assembly. The first substrate includes sides extending in a first and a second direction. The second substrate is disposed opposite to the first substrate and is larger in the second direction. The second substrate includes a thin film transistor, a ground wiring and first to fourth side surfaces. The first side sealing layer is disposed on the fourth side surface. The ground connecting part is disposed on the second substrate and is electrically connected to the ground wiring and the first side sealing layer. The flexible film is connected to the second substrate. The driving circuit substrate is connected to the flexible film. The backlight assembly is disposed between the driving circuit substrate and the first substrate.

Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for providing components of a wall module and a modular wall with the ability to shift or move relative to each other. The ability to shift can reduce or prevent damage to the wall modules during movement of support structures (ceilings, floors, permanent or structural walls) that secure the wall modules, which can shift or move relative to each other during seismic events or otherwise.
