Filed: 1992-10-22
Abstract: A mold (10) is disclosed for semiconductor devices intended for surface mounting, being of a type which comprises a metal plate (12) and a plastics body (20). It consists of two plates (10a,10b) which delimit at least one hollow (11) adapted to receive the plate (12) and to contain plastics for forming the device body (20). Two elements (16) of the mold (10) push the plate (12) from opposed sides against the bottom of the hollow (11). The hollow (11) has two side extensions (18) which are delimited by the side surfaces of the plate edges, thereby plastics projections (22) are formed thereon which separate readily after the molding process. Thus, a structure is obtained wherein the plate (12) has its bottom surface and two side edge portions fully exposed to allow of optimum and controllable soldering to a printed circuit board.

Abstract: Methane-containing hydrocarbon gas (1) is reacted catalytically and autothermally with oxygen (4) and steam (2) in a reforming reactor (3) at temperatures at the reactor outlet from 800 to 1300 DEG C and a pressure from 10 to 100 bar, a hydrogen-rich gas (5) containing free hydrogen being additionally injected into the reforming reactor. From the reforming reactor a crude synthesis gas (7) is drawn, whose components are primarily hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Without carbon dioxide being removed from the crude synthesis gas, a synthesis gas suitable for methanol synthesis is generated, in which gas the concentrations of the components H2, CO and CO2 produce a molar ratio (H2 - CO2 : CO + CO2), called the stoichiometry number, from 1.97 to 2.2. If required, the crude synthesis gas coming from the reforming reactor may be admixed with hydrogen (8) in order to set the stoichiometry number. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Freshly killed meat carcasses are processed in a manner by which meat products prepared therefrom do not exhibit the pale, soft and exudative characteristics which are undesirable in meat products. Each fresh carcass is subjected to a conditioning procedure. In that conditioning procedure, at leant a portion of the carcass, such as the ham portion of a hog, is slit in order to form a pocket therewithin. In the preferred embodiment, the pocket is formed generally between the primary hind leg muscles of a hog and generally along its femur. Then, a quantity of solid carbon dioxide is inserted into the pocket area formed by the slit, preferably while the carcass is within a meat cooler environment. During the relatively short time that the solid carbon dioxide is fully sublimed, the temp-erature within the inside and throughout the area treated is reduced. This procedure is accomplished rapidly enough so that the onset of pale, soft and exudation characteristics is substantially prevented.

Abstract: Data storage apparatus is provided for storing and retrieving data on tape (10) using a helical scanning write/read technique with data being stored in tracks of predetermined format written across the tape; this track format is, for example, substantially in accordance with the DAT format. The apparatus comprises data organizing means (52) for organizing data to be stored, into frame units (G1) each corresponding to two tracks worth of data, the data organizing means (52) disassembling data out of the frame units upon data retrieval; and formatting means (53) for processing data received from the data organising means (52) during data storage, into said track format for writing to tape, the formatting means (53) reversing this process during data retrieval. Constituent data elements from each frame unit (G1) are interleaved with each other across two tracks when written to tape (10). To minimize the processing propagation delay and memory requirements of the formatting means (53), transfer of data between data organising means (52) and formatting means (53) is effected on a track-by-track basis, rather than on the basis of frame units, with the transfer of data in respect of one track being completed before transfer of data in respect of the next track is commenced.

Abstract: A new and useful improvement to internal combustion engines is disclosed which is an engine with an offset crankshaft. When the crankshaft is rotated in a clockwise direction, the distance the piston travels from the top of the stroke (piston at maximum travel) to the bottom of the stroke (piston at the bottom of its travel) is greater than the diameter of the crankshaft rotation. The angle through which the crankshaft moves during the downstroke is greater than 180°. The engine therefore has a longer time power stroke than exhaust stroke. The intake cycle is longer in time than the exhaust cycle which improves aspiration of the engine. This concept can be applied to Otto cycle engines, Diesel engines, two stroke engines, and may be applied to compressors. When used in compressors, the intake stroke is extended which improves aspiration.
