A management system for a vehicle having a commodity storage region and traveling along a path having a plurality of geographically-distributed commodity replenishing stations, includes a sensor for measuring a level of the commodity in the storage region and providing commodity level data. A global positioning system (GPS) determines a location of the vehicle along the path. A controller stores a record of current geographical locations of the commodity replenishing stations and current commodity prices thereat, and calculates commodity replenishing schedules of the vehicle at the replenishing stations based on an output from each of the GPS and the sensor, and a commodity price at at least some of the replenishing stations.

This metal deposition/material removal technique modifies free-standing or submerged jet plating with an electromagnetic energy beam such as an intense laser beam, directed collinearly along the jet. Experiments were made to deposit gold contact areas on nickel plated beryllium-copper substrates used for microelectronic connectors. The deposits are found to be crack-free and dense, possessing excellent adhesion to the substrate. Deposition rates for 0. 05 cm diameter gold spots are on the order of 10 micrometers per second.

A method for high resolution maskless chemical and electrochemical machining is described. Preferential etching results from exposing those regions where machining is sought to an energy beam. Such exposures can increase the ething rate in the case of electrochemical machining by a factor of 10. sup. 3 to 10. sup. 4. Such enhancement is sufficient to make masking unnecessary.

An apparatus for limiting the viewing angle of a display (e. g. , a liquid crystal display (LCD)) of an electronic device including a housing for housing the LCD, includes a pivoting device coupled to the housing, and a plurality of retractable flaps movable between first and second positions and respectively coupled to the pivoting device. The plurality of retractable flaps are for limiting a viewing angle of the LCD when the flaps are moved from the first position to the second position.

A tag structure suitable for attachment to an object and for being remotely sensed, includes at least one soft magnetic element mounted for being excited in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The soft magnetic element includes first and second ends and is clamped at at least one of the first and second ends. Each soft magnetic element responds to the excitation to produce a unique, time-varying magnetic field corresponding to its resonant frequency, when excited. A system incorporating the tag includes an excitation device and a detector for detecting the mechanical vibrations of the soft magnetic element.

A structure (microduct) for temperature management (e. g. , cooling) of the surface temperature of an electronic device (e. g. , a microprocessor). In an embodiment of the present invention, the system includes an upper plate , wherein the upper plate has a bottom surface forming the top portion and sides of the microduct structure, and wherein the top surface of a lower wall forms the bottom surface of the microduct structure. The lower wall can be adapted to be coupled to a top surface of device. The microduct structure further includes a coolant that flows through the microduct to provide cooling for a device.
