A cooling apparatus for an integrated circuit. The cooling apparatus comprises cooling fan means, a control circuit and heat pipe means. The control circuit determines a spinning speed of the cooling fan and an operation performance mode of the integrated circuit according to the load and the temperature of the integrated circuit, the ambient temperature and a reference temperature. Within a tolerable range of the output of adder means, the heating pipe means continues dispelling heat of the integrated circuit without turning on the cooling fan. While the output of the adder means exceed the tolerable range, the fan is turned on to enforce the heat dissipation.

Methods of fabricating needle arrays on a wafer scale include etching a wafer of columns and needles and coating the same with an electrically insulating material and exposing electrically conductive tips. This process can benefit from using a slow spin speed to distribute resist material across the wafer before etching and using a carrier wafer to support singulated arrays to allow full coverage of upper array surfaces with electrically insulating materials. These processes allow for efficient high volume production of high count microelectrode arrays with a high repeatability and accuracy.

The washing machine further includes a controller configured initiate a spin cycle by increasing a spin speed of the basket to a target spin speed, identify an out-of-balance load prior to reaching the target spin speed, and limit the spin speed of the basket to a spin speed lower than a natural frequency of the suspension system for a predefined period of time.

The method of the present invention includes rotating the washing basket at a tumble speed insufficient to plaster the fabrics against the basket wall. The rotational speed is increased to a first plaster speed which causes the fabrics to be plastered against the basket wall. The plaster speed is increased to a second plaster speed higher than the first. Then the rotational speed of the washing basket is returned to the first plaster speed and the washing fluid is drained from the washing basket. The spin cycle is then begun. During the spin cycle a torque or speed sensor senses increased torque or reduced rotational speed of the washing basket caused by fabrics frictionally engaging the flexible boot during rotation of the washing basket at the spin speed. If such conditions are sensed, the spin cycle is terminated.

This invention describes a method and apparatus to determine a safe rotational speed for a CD/DVD drive by detecting the amount of vibration of the disk by measuring the operating conditions of the spindle motor. A disk drive includes a motor for rotating the disk and an apparatus for monitoring the current or back emf in the windings of the motor. When the current or the back emf varies from a normal level, the disk is vibrating and a signal indicating a vibration condition is sent to the spindle motor driver. The maximum speed that the disk rotated is slowed until a vibrating condition is no longer detected and the rotational speed associated with a particular disk is based dynamically on the amount of vibration detected. Disks may also be identified that cannot spin a minimum rate of speed.
