An article for tape-automated bonding of integrated circuit microchips comprises a carrier sheet (22) (Fig. 2) carrying conductive tracks (23) with a tubular metal formation (21) passing through the sheet at the end of each track for connection to a microchip (24). The tubular formations tend to accommodate irregularities in the chip and may contain solder or other metal having a lower melting poi...

In the method according to European Patent Application 86103045, chemical fibres are wound by step-precision winding, upper and lower limits as regards the traversing speed being varied in the same direction during the winding run. In addition to this, it is proposed that an increase should occur at the start of a winding run, this increase being terminated when the bobbin has a layer thickness of...

Sheet delivery for a sheet-processing machine having a conveyor with a device for releasing conveyed sheets horizontally oriented on a displaceable base support above an auxiliary sheet pile, includes a device for inserting a plurality of base members as intermediate pile supports in a successive sequence opposite to a conveying direction of the sheets into respective gaps between sheets of respec...

The device comprises a mechanical feeding device (6) which grips the end (30) of the paper and presses it onto the end face of the product to be sliced (e.g. sausage or cheese).

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing catenary during winding of a fiber bundle (12, 112) which includes a plurality of fiber strands into a wound package. The method includes: applying substantially equal tension to each of a plurality of fiber strands; gathering the strands to form a bundle; advancing the bundle at a predetermined speed and tension toward a winding...

The invention relates to a new pyrazolylpyrazoles of general formula in which r1,r2,r3,r4 and r5 have the meanings given in the description, processes for their preparation as well as intermediates, and their use as herbicides.

The present invention provide a biaxially oriented polyester film for use in a floppy disc, which has a coefficient of thermal expansion ( alpha T) in film plane of (1.0 +/- 0.5)x10<-><5>mm/mm/ DEG C and a heat shrinkage of not higher than 0.09% alter treating the film for 72 hours under conditions of a temperature of 60 DEG C and a humidity of 80%RH in any directions in film plane, and simultaneo...

A canopy comprising a plurality of ribs (10) extending from a hub (12) of the canopy and a membrane (14) attached to those ribs (10). The ribs (10) extend radially outwardly from the hub (12) when the canopy is in use so that the membrane (14) is stretched outwardly from the hub (12). The ribs (10) are held securely in their radially extending positions, against collapse towards one another, at th...

An apparatus and method for particle detection which includes a plurality of sample regions. A sensor body has internal walls which define spaced apart sample regions, with each sample region having an inlet port and an exhaust port. An aggregate sample flow is divided into partial flows which are directed from the inlet port to the exhaust port of an associated sample region. A light source, typi...

The present invention relates to a novel process for making a macrocomposite body. Specifically, a metal matrix composite body is first formed and thereafter, a ceramic body or a ceramic matrix composite body is caused to form from at least one surface of the already formed metal matrix composite body. The ceramic or ceramic composite body can be formed by, for example, changing from spontaneous i...

An improved inflatable bead turn-up bladder for a tire building drum which reduces or eliminates cord length variation in a reinforced tire carcass by stabilizing the bladder in the area utilized for lifting the reinforced cord fabric into contact with the tire bead on the tire building drum. The elastomeric inflatable bladder is formed with an integral annular rib which is seated in complementary...

An ablation catheter is provided with an elongated member or shaft (110) and a plurality of helically-shaped cutting wires (104) atached to the shaft to form a cutting basket (150). Each of the cutting wires has a section formed as a circumferentially subscribing arc (105) and together the wires present a circumferential cutting area of an essentially cylindrical configuration. Each of the wires (...
