20090084564 | Ergonomic Trenching Chunker - Apparatus for digging a trench in the soil for the purpose of installing underground infrastructure such as underground communication cable, underground sprinkler hoses, invisible underground dog fences, etc. The apparatus, termed a “chunker” is designed ergonomically to reduce muscle fatigue normally experienced by a trench-digger and to improve safety. The handle is ergonomically designed to accommodate the natural orientation of the hands. The length of the chunker can be adjustable to accommodate different heights of different people using the chunker. The chunker can be weighted for low center of gravity to improve stability and accuracy in usage. The spade-blade at the bottom of the chunker is oriented in a direction parallel to the intended route of the trench, allowing the trench-digger to widely straddle the line of the trench to avoid foot injury as the blade is vigorously thrown vertically downward into the soil near the trench-digger's body. The forming of the trench involves an easier left-right movement of the ground-inserted chunker instead of a forward-backward movement. | 04-02-2009 |

20100293512 | CHIP DESIGN AND FABRICATION METHOD OPTIMIZED FOR PROFIT - Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for designing a chip to optimize yielding parts in different bins as a function of multiple diverse metrics and further to maximize the profit potential of the resulting chip bins. The method separately calculates joint probability distributions (JPD), each JPD being a function of a different metric (e.g., performance, power consumption, etc.). Based on the JPDs, corresponding yield curves are generated. A profit function then reduces the values of all of these metrics (e.g., performance values, power consumption values, etc.) to a common profit denominator (e.g., to monetary values indicating profit that may be associated with a given metric value). The profit function and, more particularly, the monetary values can be used to combine the various yield curves into a combined profit-based yield curve from which a profit model can be generated. Based on this profit model, changes to the chip design can be made in order to optimize yield as a function of all of the diverse metrics (e.g., performance, power consumption, etc.) and further to maximize the profit potential of the resulting chips. | 11-18-2010 |
