A method for making an electronic component, for example, a motor coil. The method comprises the steps of forming a plurality of conductive layers and interconnecting the layers to provide an electrically conductive path between the layers. In order to form interconnections between the layers which have a low electrical resistance and which can be formed in a high-speed automated process, a conduc...

The method and apparatus for deriving a calibrated deformation signal from a signal produced by a strain gauge bridge on a rotating shaft involves further strain gauge bridges, one approximating the deformation bridge signal in the absence of torque and another approximating the deformation bridge signal in the presence of a known torque. The signals are all processed by the same entities and the ...

An apparatus for monitoring the production of elongate profiles which are formed from one or more mixtures of rubber or thermoplastics material in an extrusion head which is fed by one or more extrusion devices. The profile passes through a cooling zone in which longitudinal shrinkage of the profile occurs. The actual shrinkage is monitored and compared with desired shrinkage by a control device w...

During a transmit cycle portion, a radio frequency transmitter (C) continuously generates an AC biasing signal and selectively generates a radio frequency signal. The AC biasing signal gates a first switch (10) and a second switch (32) such that the radio frequency signals from the transmitter are conducted to a magnetic resonance probe (E) but are blocked from being conducted to a receiver (F). A...

An improved automatic wire feed system for supplying a fine wire to a capillary bonding tool or to a wedge bonding tool is provided. The wire feed system includes a novel wire feed slack loop device which is mounted on the wire bonder between the bonding tool and the source of fine wire. The novel wire feed slack loop device comprises a pair of sector plates which are closely spaced apart from eac...

An apparatus and method for elasticizing disposable garments wherein a continuously moving elastic ribbon (4) is moved into engagement with a continuously moving web (40) of material while the elastic ribbon (4) is being moved transversely of its length in an undulating pattern to produce an elasticized web 50. An oscillating means is provided which includes a rotatable roll (20) around which the ...

CONSTITUTION:On the surface of a base 2 for fixing an optical fiber 1, V- groov...

PURPOSE:To shorten the switching time by executing the switching operation by a single linear movement such as moving as one body a second connector ferrule and a third connector ferrule, and shortening the moving distance to the utmost. CONSTITUTION:A butted state of a first connector ferrule 4 and the second connector ferrule 5 is held, and while securing an optical transmission line, the restra...

PURPOSE:To simply detect a core of an optical fiber without using a special device, by detecting the core from a temperature radiation image of the optical fiber which is seen brightly by each different light intensity, at the time of heating the optical fiber. CONSTITUTION:In optical fibers 2, 2' in which absorption losses of a core 2-2 and a clad 2-1 are different from each other, at the time of...

PURPOSE:To realize a quick capillary replacement for the minimization of facility stoppage time by a method wherein a plurality of capillaries are allowed to be on a bonding wire prior to replacement. CONSTITUTION:A capillary for immediate use and capillaries 3 for replacement are installed on a bonding wire 1. The entirety is attached to a capillary holder 7. In this way, when replacement is requ...

PURPOSE:To permit the connection of a wire without applying damage to a bonded member side and without decreasing wire strength by a method wherein the load of a bonding tool is increased at the initial stage and then, the load is decreased to the optimum value. CONSTITUTION:Load transfer is performed by stopping current application to a solenoid coil 5. Now, with a current applied to the solenoid...

PURPOSE:To change the substance near the surface by a method wherein molecules and ions of other kinds of substances are injected and diffused in the pressure welding capillary chip used for a substrate wiring. CONSTITUTION:The ions or the molecules of other kinds of the substances evaporated are diffused by an ion-injecting method or diffusing method in a part of the capillary chip from which a p...
