This invention provides a method and apparatus for applying tape tabs to a traveling web, for example, for placement of fastening tabs on a running web of disposable diapers. The invention provides a cutting roll positioned to cut segments from a continuous infeeding web of tape material against a rotating anvil. The anvil, which is traveling at a speed equal to or very close to that of the infeed...

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) carbide composites of this invention have a microstructure comprising a plurality of granules formed from PCD, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, or mixture thereof, that are distributed within a substantially continuous second matrix region that substantially surrounds the granules and that is formed from a cermet material. In an example embodiment, the granules ar...

The invention relates to a process for preparing polyorganosiloxane emulsions whose internal phase comprises the active polyorganosiloxane substance and whose external phase comprises, in solution or dispersion, an emulsifier or an emulsifier mixture and, if desired; an emulsion-stabilizing protective colloid, to the polysiloxane emulsions thus obtainable and, in particular, to the use of these ma...

A new physical design for electronic devices (100) comprises a multi-layer stacked assembly (104-110) of a plurality of pan-shaped conductive units that form the layers of the assembly. Each unit is preferably formed from a single sheet of metal into which electronic components, such as an antenna array (208) or a filter array (314) of a transceiver, have been stamped, cut, or etched, and which is...

A transceiver (100) comprises a stacked metal laminate assembly of a plurality of layers (104-112) inside an enclosure (102). A first layer (104) forms an antenna. A second layer (106) forms a ground plane for the antenna. A third layer (108) forms "front-end" filters (duplexer). A fourth layer (110) together wi th the second layer forms an electromagnetic isolation enclosure for the filters. A ...

A resonant capacitive coupler (124) couples signals across a gap (126) between signal transmission lines (112, 118) of two printed wiring boards (100, 102). The coupler has a conductive contact member (202 or 302) that is either positioned in close proximity to one of the transmission lines (112) or is connected to the one transmission line via a dielectric (204 or 304), and forms a capacitor ther...

The plasmatron provides homogenous treatment or coating, over an entire or partial surface, of a band of metallic material with a thickness less than 100 mu m, or of a band of polymer material Preferred features: The indirect plasmatron has a lengthy plasma chamber with a series of mutually-insulated neutrodes. Electrodes required to produce the plasma arc gas are coaxial with the longitudinal axi...

The three-legged support is for placing on a base surface and has two legs (1,2) joined to an upper beam (4) and a third leg (3) comprising a V-shaped part, whose upper ends are joined either with the ends of the upper beam or with the upper ends of the outer two legs. The lower angle of the V-shaped part supports against the base surface at a distance from the connecting line between the two othe...

The component (6) for supporting a road vehicle engine forms part of the vehicle chassis, is frame-shaped and is installed with its plane horizontal. It forms part of an extruded profile structure, which is cut crossways to its longitudinal direction (12).

A crossbar switch system with redundancy has N+1 cross- bar switches. A first cross-bar switch has first outputs of each of a plurality of nodes applied to N input terminals thereof. an (N+1) th cross-bar switch has Nth outputs of each of the nodes applied to N input terminals thereof, and second to Nth (Ith) cross-bar switches each have first to Nth selection circuits, which are provided at respe...
