A trench MOSFET in parallel with trench junction barrier Schottky rectifier with trench contact structures is formed in single chip. The present invention solves the drawback brought by some prior arts, for example, the large area occupied by planar contact structure and high gate-source capacitance. As the electronic devices become more miniaturized, the trench contact structures of this invention are able to be shrunk to achieve low specific on-resistance of Trench MOSFET, and low Vf and reverse leakage current of the Schottky Rectifier.

A server cabinet includes a rack and a common power supply received in the rack. The rack defines an interior space configured for accommodating a plurality of servers therein. Each server has an electrical plug at an outer side thereof. The common power supply includes a power input socket and a plurality of power output sockets. The power output sockets are configured to electrically connect to the server electrical plugs, respectively. The common power supply is configured for receiving AC power from an external power source via the power input socket, and converting the AC power to DC power and outputting the DC power to the servers via the power output sockets.

A twisting shaft 33 and a remover 34 fitted around the twisting shaft 33 are provided with forks 37, 44 at their respective front portions, and hooks 38 bent from front ends of the forks of the twisting shaft in the forward rotational direction are provided. The remover is rotatable by a one-way stopper mechanism in the forward direction only. When the twisting shaft and remover are rotated forward, a binding wire loop is hung on the hooks 38 and twisted. When the twisting shaft is reversely rotated after the completion of the twisting operation, the remover stops being rotated by the one-way stopper mechanism, and the twisting shaft alone is reversely rotated. As a result, the hooks 38 hide themselves behind the forks 44 of the remover 34, and the binding wire engaged with the hooks 38 is pressed by the forks 44 and removed.

An attractive and compact device and an effective method to store and disinfect a manual shaving razor are disclosed. The method reduces corrosion of the razor's metal blades. A compact container has separate but suitably connected chambers allowing for economy of use of as disinfectant liquid combining alcohol, detergent or soap and skin conditioner. By protecting the razor in one enclosed chamber, oxidative damage and rusting of blades is avoided. A knife edge element is placed at the bottom of another chamber to pierce the foil seal of a suitably inserted bottle within the other chamber. An optional third, drainage chamber below the other two chambers allows for appropriate drainage and removal both of excess fluid used, as well as hair and debris from the blades. The design of the device is compact and attractive, as is the method an extremely effective way of protecting and disinfecting the razor.

The application is directed to a window insert that may be inserted into a gap near a window such that the insert may be visible through the window. In certain embodiments, the application is directed to a window insert having a visible area that may be visible through the window and may also have a ledge area that may support, hold, or otherwise retain a removable product or removable accessory on, near, or around the window insert. The window insert may further comprise an anchor and a visible area wherein the ledge contains one or more wells for holding or retaining food stuffs.

Non-saturated or non-saturated and orientated binding surfaces for an affinity assay are provided, as are methods and compositions for their preparation. The non-saturated or non-saturated and orientated binding surfaces may further comprise paramagnetic microparticles. The methods include methods for making ligand::support coupler-based complexes by a process optionally employing a low input ratio of ligand to support coupler, by dilution, and by methods employing a dispersion and / or coating step using a block copolymer. Specific examples employing biotin-BSA and biotin-ovalbumin binding surfaces are provided, as well as strepavidin-coated microparticles and microparticles coated with capture moieties such as biotinylated immunoglobulins or fragments thereof. Other examples couple a ligand to the solid surface. Further provided are dispersed microparticles and methods for making them. Use of the methods and compositions in connection with a wide variety of analytes and capture moieties is provided, particularly for use in immunoassays.

An engine mount including: an inner fitting having a first flange at a first axial end thereof; a cylindrical outer fitting having at a first axial end a second flange extending outwardly in the axis-perpendicular direction and positioned in opposition to but spaced apart from the first flange portion in an axial direction; a side rubber elastic body elastically connecting the first and second flanges; a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the inner fitting and the outer fitting in a direction of axial elongation of the side portion rubber elastic body; and a hollow portion extending from a second axial end toward a first axial end of the main rubber elastic body with a distal and thereof reaching an interior of the side rubber elastic body, thereby bifurcating the main rubber elastic body at an inside circumferential face of the outer fitting. The engine mount is positioned with the axial direction facing a left-right direction of the vehicle.

A battery and ultracapacitor device for use in a vehicle includes a positive electrode, a first negative electrode, a second negative electrode, a first separator disposed between the positive electrode and the first and second negative electrodes, and a controller communicating with the positive electrode, the first negative electrode, and the second negative electrode. A first negative electrode has a first composition and communicates with the first positive electrode. The second negative electrode has a second composition and is adjacent to the first negative electrode and a second separator. The second negative electrode communicates with the positive electrode and the first negative electrode. The first negative electrode comprises a secondary battery negative electrode. The second negative electrode comprises an ultracapacitor negative electrode.

A component connection for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle, with a control arm having a mounting, in particular a rubber mounting, at least at one of its ends. An inner sleeve and a connection component, in particular a wheel carrier, are fixed to one another by a fixing element. The fixing element presses a first contact surface of the inner sleeve, in the axial direction, toward the connection component against an abutment surface of the connection component. The connection component has a supporting surface against which a second contact surface of the inner sleeve rests. Furthermore, the supporting surface is inclined relative to the abutment surface in such a manner that transverse forces occurring, in the radial direction in the area of the mounting, can be supported.
