Title: Integrated circuit package with battery housing.
Inventor: LINK JOSEPH
IPC: H01M2/10
Filed: 1981-05-27
Abstract: An integrated circuit, typically a random access memory, is housed in a package (14). In the application associated with the integrated circuit it is desired to maintain the data states stored in the memory even when the normal supply voltage is disconnected from the package (14). Batteries (24, 26) are secured in recesses (20, 22) within a structure (12) which is connected to the integrated circuit package (14). A top spring clip (100) is provided to securely hold the batteries (24, 26) within the recesses (20, 22) and forms a common conductor in contact with the upper terminal of both batteries. A bottom spring clip (74, 76) is provided for each of the recesses (20, 22) to form separate conductors in contact with the lower terminal of each battery.

Title: Alcohol wipe and methods.
Inventor: LAIPPLY THOMAS C
IPC: A45D37/00
Filed: 1984-01-23
Abstract: An integral alcohol preparation device (10) or like type of fluid applying device includes an absorbent material or pad (11) for containing alcohol or other fluid, a fluid impermeable material, for example of metal foil (20) lined with plastic (21), as a selectively openable fluid tight chamber for the pad and fluid contained therein, and the pad and fluid impermeable material being attached as a substantially integral assembly. Being so attached, a method of using such a fluid applying device, then, may include the steps of manipulating the fluid impermeable material to open the chamber and to expose the pad and fluid contained therein without breaching the integrity of the several parts individually or collectively, and applying the fluid from the pad to an external surface. Further, a method is disclosed for making an integral fluid applying device. In an alternate embodiment a one piece fluid applying device is formed of flexible material that is folded to form a chamber to contain a fluid. The flexible material is impermeable and unaffected by the fluid. A seal is formed about the chamber to maintain the fluid tight integrity thereof. Surface portions of the flexible material which form walls of the chamber also form surfaces for applying the fluid to another surface, for example, to the skin of a patient. Similar methods of use and manufacturing may be employed with both embodiments. In both embodiments the flexible fluid impermeable material may be a single piece or may be comprised of plural pieces fastened together, e.g. along an edge of the device, and intended to remain so fastened during use.

Title: Nitriding grade alloy steel and article made therefrom.
Inventor: LOYD CALVIN D
IPC: C22C38/06
Filed: 1984-02-13
Abstract: A nitriding grade alloy steel includes aluminum in a range of 0.07% to 0.30% by weight and vanadium in a range of 0.03% to 0.20% by weight. Prior art nitriding grade alloy steel generally have relied on molybdenum, nickel and other expensive alloy additions to provide nitridability and core hardness. The present invention includes only essential amounts of carbon, manganese, and chromium, in addition to small, controlled amounts of aluminum and vanadium. The present invention is not only economical to produce due to the absence of significant amounts of costly alloying elements, but also has a unique combination of hardenability, resistance to loss of hardness during tempering, and excellent nitride response. Articles manufactured from the new alloy steel are desirably hardened, tempered, machined and nitrided, and are useful in applications requiring high wear resistance and high stress loading. Such articles include gears, shafts, bushings, couplings and other such articles subjected to severe service applications.

IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 1984-10-29
Abstract: Method for performing two-site immunoassays for small molecules, which were previously considered too small for binding two antibody molecules and hence which were widely believed not to be detectable using this type of assay.

Abstract: Combustible is crushed and dried, and metal and non-combustible are removed from the crushed coarse combustible. Then the crushed coarse combustible is subjected to secondary crushing to be separated into a coarse particle combustible and fluff which is a fine particle combustible. The coarse particle combustible thus separated is charged onto a fire grate (2) of an incinerator (1) to be subjected to plane combustion in a primary chamber (4). On the other hand, fluff is subjected to space combustion in a secondary chamber (7) by a fluff burner (5) for combustion, so that the combustible is incinerated. Accordingly, refuse containing a great deal of plastics which is almost formed into fluff is efficiently treated to increase an amount of refuse incinerated as a whole. <IMAGE>
