A method for bonding a porous medium to a substrate is provided which includes contacting a porous medium with a surface of a substrate, impregnating the porous medium with a bonding composition, maintaining the impregnated porous medium in contact with the substrate surface until the substrate surface is at least slightly dissolved in the bonding composition without dissolving the porous medium, ...

The FET receiver circuit uses four input beams, two of which are unique, to turn two series-connected FETs on and off and to generate output signals. The two FETs have respective gates connected to a junction between two detectors in each of two series- and loop-connected detectors. Two input signal beams are simultaneously detected by one detector of one pair and either detector of the other pair...

A hole is formed in a metal plate, and after a concave portion is formed by pressurizing a predetermined area on the metal plate including the hole to cause plastic deformation, an island of a lead frame is formed in the concave portion. By forming the concave portion, the island and the inner lead are thinner than the outer lead, and the hole which has become smaller remains in the island.
