An LCD adapter mounting for a computer cover includes a cover base and an adapter mounted in the base. An LCD panel is mounted in the adapter. The adapter is mounted in the cover base in a first orientation when the LCD panel is of a first size. The adapter is mounted in the cover base in a second orientation, inverted from the first orientation, when the LCD panel is of a second size. A bezel is mounted on the cover base for securing the adapter and LCD panel therebetween.

A method of measuring of sizes of trapezoidal objects along their lower base includes positioning an object to be measured in a scanning electron microscope so that a line of scanning of an object by an electronic beam corresponds with a direction along which a measurement is performed, selecting a magnification of the microscope so that an image of the object to be measured occupies a substantial part of a length of a scanning line, scanning a video signal of the object in accordance with coord...

Hammer loadable with different sizes of nails, including an adjustment member manually rotatably disposed on the hammerhead. A predetermined number of loading positions are formed on the adjustment member at intervals for loading a nail therein. The loading positions are spaced from the hammering end of the hammerhead by different distances. According to the length of the nail, the adjustment member can be turned to select one of the loading positions for loading the nail therein. The front end ...

A disk device comprises first and second disk selection projections 102, 103 which regulate an angle of the disk conveyed to a small or large disk positioning recess 121, 122 on the basis of an outer radius of the disk. The first and second disk selection projections have tapered faces 102a, 103a provided at fixed intervals on a disk guiding face 101a facing the conveying roller 111. The disk device further comprises steps 121a, 122a for positioning the small disk 201 or the large disk 200 havin...

A cervical collar comprising a neckband fabricated from a substantially incompressible plastic material and including a front body section having a first substantially flat shape and being bendable into a second substantially tubular shape, the front body section having a central portion, a laterally extending first side portion, and an opposed laterally extending second side portion. The cervical collar also includes a mandible support fabricated from a substantially and compressible plastic ma...

When retrieving documents over a network, such as the Internet, the font size imposed by default or by a style sheet is sometimes not the right size for comfortable viewing by a user. A database of font size changes made by a user to particular documents is maintained and used to infer a font size preference for a document. A document is displayed using a recorded preference. If no preference is found for a document, a check is made to determine if a preference has been specified for a different...

A registration mechanism registers sheets of different sizes so the sheets are properly positioned as they enter an imaging station adjacent the mechanism. A fixed urging guide at one side of a platen urges sheets of the largest size toward a registration guide at another side of the platen for aligning the sheet relative to the guide. Other urging guides move through slots in the platen between a raised position relative to the platen, wherein they are effective to urge smaller sheets toward th...

A hanger for articles of various sizes and shapes comprising a base on which are pivotally supported a pair of opposing article gripping members. The members are supported by the base for pivotal swinging movement about oppositely slanting axes to cause the members to converge into gripping engagement with an article when swinging downwardly under the action of gravity.

A method of determining at least one ratio of transistor sizes. The method includes creating a sizing model by replacing at least one logic element in a circuit description with a sizing element that includes a piece-wise-linear current source. The method also includes determining a steady state solution to the sizing mode and determining at least one ratio of transistor sizes from the steady state solution. The method may also include determining at least one dimension of a transistor based at ...

A semiconductor device having multiple layers uses different size contacts at different layer in order in order to simplify the manufacturing process and the depth of etching required. Contact sizes are selected based on the responsiveness of the material to the etching process. Where a deep etch is required, a larger contact is used. A shallower etch through similar material uses a smaller contact to slow the etching process. As a result, the etches can complete at about the same time. The tech...
