Abstract: In order to that optically readable small code marks can be correctly read by a reader, an optically readable code mark 15 is marked on an surgical instrument 14 at an optional location by using a laser, the code mark being in the form of recesses and projections which are apparently different in magnitude from roughness of the instrument surface at that location. Thus, the code mark is marked on the surgical instrument itself by laser marking and is optically read, resulting in correct reading of the mark and a considerable improvement in durability of the mark.

Abstract: An air bag inflator (10) is actuatable to supply inflation fluid under pressure, through discharge openings (40), into a diffuser chamber (90) and thence through gas outlets (92) into an air bag. An isolation membrane (100) extends across the diffuser chamber (90) between the discharge openings (40) and the gas outlets (92). The isolation membrane (100) is welded to the housing at axially and radially spaced locations (106, 128). When the inflator (10) is not actuated, the isolation membrane (100) blocks fluid flow including the conduction of moisture from the environment around the inflator through the discharge openings (40) and into the interior of the inflator. The isolation membrane (100) has a weakened portion defined by a stress riser (130). When the inflator (10) is actuated, the pressure of the fluid flowing through the discharge openings (40) breaks the isolation membrane (100) at the stress riser (130). The isolation membrane (100) moves to a second location in the diffuser chamber (90) clear of the gas outlets (92) to enable fluid flow out of the diffuser chamber and into the air bag.

Abstract: A high voltage integrated circuit (IC) has a passivation structure that shields the underlying circuit from the electrical effects of charge on the passivation structure. In one embodiment, the passivation structure comprises a silicon rich nitride layer in electrical contact with underlying circuit elements. The silicon rich nitride is highly resistive and permits only a negligible current between elements, but is conductive enough that charge on the surface of the passivation structure flows into the IC before the electric fields in the underlying circuit elements is significantly changed. In another embodiment, the passivation structure has two or more layers with a less conductive layer in contact with the underlying IC and overlying conductive layer which shields the IC from the effects of charge build up.

Abstract: A more efficient reaction mechanism is provided for producing 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) by reacting vinylidene chloride with hydrogen fluoride in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst and a sulfone solvent or a nitroalkane or nitroarene solvent. In particular, by using a titanium tetrafluoride catalyst in conjunction with tetramethylene sulfone solvent, most all the vinylidene chloride reagent can be converted to HCFC-141b to the virtual exclusion of unwanted, closely associated byproducts like 1,1-difluoro-1-chloroethane (HCFC-142b) and 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a), while reducing the production of tars to a minimum.

Abstract: The transmission device (1b) comprises an epicycloidal train (7) with a crown connected to the input (2ab) and a planetary wheel (9) prevented from turning in a reverse direction by an idler wheel (16). A satellite carrier (13) is connected to the output shaft (2bc). A crown (8) and the satellite carrier (13) may be coupled by means of a clutch (18b) actuated for engagement by means of fly-weights (29) and a spring (34) to achieve a direct drive. If the engagement is sufficient for the torque to be transmitted, the planetary wheel (9) has its speed reduced and is finally immobilized by means of the idler wheel (16). The device operates then as a reduction unit, and an axial thrust (Pac) due to helical teeth occurs and disengages the clutch. It is also possible to operate the device as a reduction unit by means of a piston (44) which pushes the race (20) in the direction of disengagement of the clutch (18b) and applies a brake (43) which prevents any rotation of the planetary wheel (9), even in the direction normally permitted by the idler wheel (16). Utilization for the selective operation of the transmission device as a reduction unit when the vehicle engine operates in a retaining mode.

Abstract: This invention discloses a method of fabricating an electroexplosive device which utilizes a semiconductor bridge (292) as an ignition element. The semiconductor bridge (292) is electrically connected to a metal header (100) by a small, low resistance contact to the extension of bridge material and through an insulating silicon substrate (270) to a eutectic bond (260) created by gold plating (350) on the metal header (100) and the silicon. The second electrode (360) of the bridge circuit is connected via wire bonds (130) to one or two conducting pins (110) which penetrate the metal header (100) and are insulated by surrounding glass (120). The design allows the use of standard semiconductor assembly methods. Since small pads of electrical material are used for electrical contact, the die size is small. A redundant connection via two conducting pins (110) insulated from the header (100) to one electrode (360) of the semiconductor bridge allows a post assembly test of the integrity of the wire bonds.
