IPC: B65D81/26
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: It comprises an inner wrapper (2) which contains
the food product (P), an outer package (3) of plastic
material which encloses said inner wrapper (2), at least a
layer (14) of a heat-concentrating material, and a
substrate (6) attached to an outer face of said outer
package (3). The layer (14) of heat-concentrating material
causes the opening of the outer package (3) by melting a
portion thereof, during heating of the assembly in a
microwave oven, and the substrate (6) prevents the outer
package (3) from sticking to the base of the oven. There
can also be a sheet (12) of insulating material between
the inner wrapper (2) and the outer package (3). 
     Handling operations are reduced and the protection
and optimum degree of humidity are maintained until the
time the product is put in the oven.

Title: Procede et appareil pour tester des chemins de signal entre des tranches de circuits integres et un testeur de tranches
Inventor: WHITTEN RALPH G
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2001-03-27
Abstract: Les chemins de signal au sein d'une structure d'interconnexion reliant des ports d'entrée/sortie (E/S) d'un testeur de circuits intégrés (IC) et les points de mesure sur une tranche sont testés, de manière que la continuité, les courts-circuits et la résistance soient vérifiés au moyen de la structure d'interconnexion permettant l'accès à un arrangement similaire de points de mesure sur une tranche de référence. Les conducteurs de la tranche de référence interconnectent les groupes de points de mesure. Le testeur peut ensuite tester la continuité des chemins de signal dans la structure d'interconnexion, en envoyant des signaux d'essai entre les paires de ports, par lesdits chemins de signal et les conducteurs d'interconnexion dans la tranche de référence. Une unité de contrôle de paramètres se trouvant dans le testeur peut également déterminer les impédances des chemins de signal dans la structure d'interconnexion, en comparant l'amplitude des chutes de tension au niveau des bornes des paires de ports E/S à l'intensité du courant qu'elle transmet entre les paires de ports E/S.

Abstract: A multi-function pressure relief valve (60) having a moveable seat (76) and a needle (100) is mounted on a fuel vapor separator (10). The needle (100) is connected to a float assembly (64) for opening and closing the pressure relief valve (60) for venting an internal chamber (38) of the fuel vapor separator (10). The moveable seat (76) is biased to engage the needle (100) for relieving excess pressure when vapor pressure in the internal chamber (38) exceeds a biasing force on the movable seat (76). The valve (60) opens in response to at least one of (1) changing fluid level in the fuel vapor separator (10), and (2) excess vapor pressure within the vapor fuel separator (10). During operation, the valve (60) vents an internal chamber (38) of the fuel vapor separator (10) by disengaging the needle (100) from the movable seat (76) using a float (64) attached to the needle (100). The valve (60) closes when the float (64) reaches a desired position to pressurize the internal chamber (38) by engaging the needle (100) to the movable seat (76). The valve (60) also releases excess vapor pressure in the internal chamber (38) when the pressure in the internal chamber (38) exceeds a biasing force on the movable seat (76) and disengages the movable seat (76) from the needle (100).

Abstract: An object is to provide an optical fiber fusion splicing method in which
splice loss can be reduced, and also to provide an arc-heating unit used for
heating the fusion spliced part of an optical fiber. The method comprises a
process of fusion-splicing together the end faces of two optical fibers and a
process of continuously heating the fusion spliced part by arc while moving one
pair of electrodes provided opposite to each other across the fusion spliced part.
The arc heating process is performed with the operation for decreasing arc
temperature. The operation for decreasing arc temperature may be achieved
by flowing a gas having a molecular weight greater than the average molecular
weight of air into a gas atmosphere in which arc heating is performed, or by
adding a modulation to an electric discharge current such that the maximum
value becomes equal to or more than an electric current for starting arc
discharge and the minimum value becomes more than zero and less than the
electric current for starting arc discharge.

Abstract: A high transmittance polycrystalline alumina arc tube for a metal halide
discharge lamp is formed by treating an alumina arc tube material having a few
percent of closed porosity in a two step process, which provides a high-transmittance
arc tube. An initially porous arc tube is formed by extruding or die
pressing individual components of the tube from a mixture which includes
powdered alumina, assembling the components into an arc tube body, and then
partially sintering the components to seal them together. The two step process
includes hot isostatic pressing of the partially sintered arc tube and then
chemically polishing the surface of the tube. The first, pressing step involves
heating the alumina arc tube in an inert atmosphere, such as argon, at a
temperature of 1600 to 1900°C and a pressure of about 700 to 2100 kg/sq.cm.
for from about one to three hours. This reduces porosity in the crystalline
structure. In the second step, the surface of the tube is immersed in a flux
comprising a molten alkali metal borate at moderately elevated temperatures, or
coated with a flux material which is heated to form the flux, to remove surface
imperfections. The finished arc tube has transmittance values which approach
those of single crystal sapphire arc tubes.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus, such as an on-vehicle navigation
system, is provided. The apparatus comprises a hard disc container (2)
and a contacting piece (31) for grounding. The hard disc container
contains a hard disc unit (7) detachably loaded thereinto. A
loading/unloading passage (21) through which the hard disc unit is
loaded and unloaded is formed in the container. The contacting piece
is disposed in the loading/unloading passage. When the hard disc unit
is loaded into the container, the hard disc unit is made to come into
contact to the contacting piece before an electrical connection between
the hard disc and the hard disc container is realized. Thus, even if
static electricity is charged on the hard disc unit, the static electricity is
grounded steadily prior to the electrical connection, thereby no harm
being given to data stored by a hard disc incorporated in the hard disc
unit.
