20110024522 | Irrigation Sprinkler with Captive Nozzle Retention Screw - A nozzle turret for an irrigation sprinkler includes a body having a rotational axis and a nozzle socket extending transverse to the rotational axis. A nozzle is removably received in the socket. A sleeve in the body opens on a top side of the body and defines a bore that communicates with the socket. A nozzle retention screw with a shank having a lower male threaded segment is screwed into the bore of the sleeve from the top side of the body. The shank extends into the socket a sufficient depth to retain the nozzle in the socket. The screw has a head that abuts an upper end of the sleeve when the screw is fully screwed in a downward direction into the sleeve. The screw shank has an upper unthreaded segment with a predetermined longitudinal dimension selected relative to a longitudinal dimension of the bore to enable the screw to be unscrewed in an upward direction from the sleeve despite stripping of a segment of a female threaded portion of the bore. | 02-03-2011 |
20140252123 | Pop-Up Irrigation Sprinkler with Shock Absorbing Riser Retraction Springs - An irrigation sprinkler includes an outer case, a riser telescopically extensible from the outer case, and a nozzle at an upper end of the riser. A coil spring surrounds the riser and normally holds the riser in a lower retracted position within the outer case. The coil spring is dimensioned and configured to permit extension of the riser to a raised upper position when pressurized water is introduced into the outer case. A shock absorber is positioned between a lower end of the riser and a rigid structure in the lower end of case for lessening the forces otherwise exerted on the riser during rapid retraction of the riser. | 09-11-2014 |

20100308375 | Rare earth enhanced high electron mobility transistor and method for fabricating same - According to one embodiment, a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) comprises an insulator layer comprising a first group III-V intrinsic layer doped with a rare earth additive. The HEMT also comprises a second group III-V intrinsic layer formed over the insulator layer, and a group III-V semiconductor layer formed over the second group III-V intrinsic layer. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating a HEMT comprises forming a first group III-V intrinsic layer and doping the first group III-V intrinsic layer with a rare earth additive to produce an insulator layer. The method also comprises forming a second group III-V intrinsic layer over the insulator layer, and further forming a group III-V semiconductor layer over the second group III-V intrinsic layer. A two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is formed at a heterojunction interface of the group III-V semiconductor layer and the second group III-V intrinsic layer. | 12-09-2010 |
