| 20100282765 | Trash can with removable bottom portion for the purpose of cleaning - The invention being filed is a trash can with a removable bottom portion for the purpose of cleaning. As most trash cans on the market do not have features to facilitate ease of cleaning, a removable bottom portion would allow a person cleaning the trash can to get to leaks from the trash bag and missed trash more easily. The intent is to render the cleaner less exposed to the interior of the trash can. A person would not have to reach their entire arm into the can, but rather only have to clean the portion which is dirtied. As such, a trash can with a removable bottom portion facilitates ease of use and cleaning. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20110240294 | PIPE PERFORATING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method and apparatus for perforating pipe from its interior, and in particular for perforating plastic well casing in situ. A linear actuator drives a claw-shaped bit. Linear motion of the cylinder is converted to a pivoting of the bit in a radial direction by a deflector. In a preferred embodiment, the linear actuator is a hydraulic piston-cylinder assembly and the deflector is an inclined surface. Operation of the actuator in a first direction drives the bit into the inclined deflection surface, which causes the bit to pivot and protract radially outward of the tool housing to perforate the wall of a pipe. Operation of the actuator in the opposite direction pulls the bit back into the tool housing so that the perforator tool can be easily moved with a well casing. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20100318313 | MEASUREMENT METHODOLOGY AND ARRAY STRUCTURE FOR STATISTICAL STRESS AND TEST OF RELIABILTY STRUCTURES - System and method for obtaining statistics in a fast and simplified manner at the wafer level while using wafer-level test equipment. The system and method performs a parallel stress of all of the DUTs on a given chip to keep the stress time short, and then allows each DUT on that chip to be tested individually while keeping the other DUTs on that chip under stress to avoid any relaxation. In one application, the obtained statistics enable analysis of Negative Temperature Bias Instability (NTBI) phenomena of transistor devices. Although obtaining statistics may be more crucial for NBTI because of its known behavior as the device narrows, the structure and methodology, with minor appropriate adjustments, could be used for stressing multiple DUTs for many technology reliability mechanisms. | 12-16-2010 |

A first output frequency is generated from the first VCO, the first output frequency having a first frequency value corresponding to the signal. The signal is provided as a second control voltage input to a second VCO in the IC. A second output frequency is generated from the second VCO, the second output frequency having a second frequency value corresponding to the signal. The first and the second output frequency values are exported from the IC. A mean value and a standard deviation of the signal are computed using the output first and second frequency values. | 12-23-2010 |

The current generating circuit may be a current mirror that responds to an externally-supplied current provided by a test system. A voltage source circuit may be included to hold the drain-source voltage of the transistor constant, although not required. A stress is applied prior to the measurement phase, which may include a controllable relaxation period after the stress is removed. | 10-08-2009 |
