A ball or land grid array plastic substrate portion is formed with a hole therethrough in the region on which the integrated circuit die is to be formed, with a copper heat slug inserted within the opening having a bottom surface substantially aligned with the bottom surface of the plastic portion to allow molding tooling for conventional ball or land grid array packages to be employed. The integrated circuit die is mounted on the heat slug, which has a solderable bottom surface and is directly soldered to the PCB. An additional copper heat spreader region is formed on an upper surface of the plastic portion.

Sensors, including fiber optic sensors and their umbilicals, are mounted on support structures designed to be retro-fitted to in-place structures, including subsea structures. The sensor support structures are designed to monitor structure conditions, including strain, temperature, and in the instance of pipelines, the existence of production slugs. Moreover the support structures are designed for installation in harsh environments, such as deep water conditions using remotely operated vehicles.

A bullet comprised of a jacket of malleable metal having a closed nose portion and a rear end portion defined by a cylindrical wall, the closed nose portion having wall-weakening areas encapsulating a forward core made of a deformable material which promptly deforms, collapses axially, and expands radially to a substantial extent along with the weakened wall areas, when the bullet strikes a target. The wall weakened areas of the nose portion are ruptured by the core material to produce a collapsing and readily expanding action. These weakened wall areas are in the form of longitudinally extending, deep, internal or external, circumferentially spaced grooves with underlying web areas which are ruptured by the core material, to produce the collapsing and expanding action. This core is preferably made mainly of rubber, urethane, silicone, or one of a substantial number of plastics, such as fluorocarbons, polycarbonates, polypropylenes, polystyrenes, polyethylenes, PVC.TM., silicone rubber, Nylon.TM., and vinyl acetate, each of which has a hardness within a range of Shore A-20 to Rockwell R-122. A second core, made mainly of metal such as tungsten, lead, zinc, copper, tin, iron or alloys thereof or hard plastic, is seated, under pressure, behind the nose core and within the rear end portion of the jacket. The advantages of the bullet result from the fact that it collapses axially and expands widely and quickly, upon striking a target, and yet penetrates an adequate distance, without losing an appreciable amount of weight, and without passing through the entire body of the target, to thereby provide an adequate penetration, optimum expansion bullet.

An apparatus of antenna with heat slug and its fabricating process are provided, in which the antenna with heat slug can be realized with a single sheet or double sheets of metal. Each single sheet of metal can be achieved by simply cutting and bending a metal plate. Thereby, it is a simple and low-cost fabricating process. In the known fabricating process of integrated circuit, the heat slug and the antenna can be combined in a module at the same step. Therefore, integrating the antenna with heat slug in a fabricating process needs not to develop a new process.

An outrigger assembly for a fishing vessel to extend fishing lines away from the vessel, including a telescopic boom having a plurality of aligned ‘D’ tubes of consecutively smaller diameters that can be individually locked in place when extended and having the smaller tubes telescopically mounted inside larger tubes for storage, first embodiment provides a manually operable locking mechanism using an external shift bullet to lock the tubes in place, and second embodiment combines the locking means of the first embodiment with a cam lever operated eyelet locking system, the eyelets provide support for a fishing rigging, both embodiments protect the locking mechanism from elements found in the environment.

Cases for portable electronic devices are described including multiple alignment elements (e.g. slugs, magnets or physical securing means) embedded in a panel, such as the back panel of the case. Various accessories, such as stands, cord spools, mounts, communication devices, speakers, displays, etc., may also have multiple corresponding alignment elements (e.g. magnets, slugs or cooperative physical securing means) in them that allow the accessories to be semi-securely attached to the case in a plurality of specific positions and / or orientations.

The hole saw slug removal device is a device constructed to fit within a hole saw that provides for automatic ejection of waste slugs from within the hole saw. The hole saw slug removal device generally consists of two discs affixed on either end of a compression spring. The device is then inserted into the hole saw, and one disc retains the compression spring within the hole saw by locking onto the drill bit or against the inner surface of the hole saw. Upon operation of the hole saw, the spring compresses and the other disc is pushed down by the force of the sawing. After the sawing is completed, the spring decompresses, and the disc is pushed forward, automatically ejecting the waste slug that has become trapped within the hole saw. The slug removal device may lack one disc and instead be permanently affixed to a hole saw.

A device is formed by the process into a bone screw or fastener, wherein the head has a degree of polymer alignment and strength, and wherein the shank has a higher degree of polymer alignment and strength. In practice of the present invention, the polymer slug is pressed into the die cavity by the actuation of ram press, causing the slug to conform to the die cavity. Through this process, the polymer molecular orientation is aligned to different degrees, in different zones of the device.

There is provided a hole saw system comprising a hole saw including a bottom portion and a body portion; a mandrel, including apparatus for receiving the hole saw; wherein the hole saw includes a plurality of slot pairs, the slot pairs being offset from each other on the body portion allowing a tool to be inserted into one of the slot pairs for removal of a slug.

Disclosed is a method and system for controlling the formation of liquid or gas slugs along a pipeline. In embodiments, an injection unit injects a liquid surface tension reducing agent, such as a foamant, into the pipeline upstream of the high point. A control unit can be used to control the injection unit. In certain arrangements, the control unit adjusts the injection of the agent based on measured parameters of interest. In embodiments where the control unit utilizes temperature measurements, one or more temperature sensors are positioned along the pipeline. The control unit utilizes the temperature measurements to determine whether a predetermined condition exists or a liquid or gas slug is present.
