In the sash counterbalance mode, movement of the upper or lower sash causes converse movement of the lower or upper sash through the sash coupling element, and the movement of the upper or lower sash is assisted. In the independent sash movement mode, one of the upper and lower sashes is held static while the other of the lower or upper sashes is moved, and the moved sash is assisted. | 01-07-2016 |

20090004605 | Semiconductor Processing Methods of Transferring Patterns from Patterned Photoresists to Materials - The invention includes a semiconductor processing method. A first material comprising silicon and nitrogen is formed. A second material is formed over the first material, and the second material comprises silicon and less nitrogen, by atom percent, than the first material. An imagable material is formed on the second material, and patterned. A pattern is then transferred from the patterned imagable material to the first and second materials. The invention also includes a structure comprising a first layer of silicon nitride over a substrate, and a second layer on the first layer. The second layer comprises silicon and is free of nitrogen. The structure further comprises a third layer consisting essentially of imagable material on the second layer. | 01-01-2009 |

20090293040 | System and Method for Communicating with a Microcontroller - A system for communicating with a microprocessor includes an interface agent that facilitates a communications link between customized windows applications and a suite of development tools. The system allows for interactive hardware and software verification testing of a microcontroller or microprocessor contained within any type of platform, such as mass produced electronic subassembly, consumer product, or a demonstration board. The system also allows for interactive tutorials about the suite of development tools and capabilities of a selected microcontroller or microprocessor. The interface agent affords a high level of interactivity during the tutorials, which involves requesting the user to perform tasks and monitoring for execution of the tasks. | 11-26-2009 |
