Abstract: Process for the selective zonal heating of a thermoformable sheet material (3) or matrix, a
process which provides for, in sequence, appropriately identifying at least one marked and/or
decorated area having a well-defined perimeter (2) on said sheet material (3), advancing said sheet
material (3) stepwise along a working track, heating the said sheet material along said working
track only in relation to one side of one or a group of areas for thermoforming leaving the rest
of the sheet material or matrix which is not heated relatively cold and therefore not subject to
thermal deformation, and stepwise thermoforming along the said working track only in those
areas so heated located in the said cold matrix.

Abstract: The heating unit has a bypass valve (7) with a solenoid operating unit (8), which is coupled with a fan (9), is arranged in a bypass to the fuel supply line (5), upstream from burner stages (1,2). Thus when increased heating power is required, an increased fuel supply to the burner stages results by the opening of the bypass valve by the solenoid. The bypass valve is only operable, if the fan is in operation. The throttle element is arranged in the fuel supply line, before its branching to the burner stages, outside from the bypass.

Patent EP-0969704-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BJORNDAHL WILLIAM D
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: A method for mounting electronics packages (12, 14) to a heat
dissipating panel (24) in such a manner that they can be removed non-destructively
if necessary, for replacement or re-working. Critical to the method is
the selection of an adhesive (40) that has good electrical and thermal conductivity
properties, and also has a glass transition temperature below room temperature.
The latter property makes the adhesive re-workable after curing, but without
having to heat the components to reverse the bonding process. Adhesives have a
relatively low modulus or elasticity above their glass transition temperature.
Therefore, the adhesive selected in accordance with the method can be re-worked
at room temperature, and the bond can, therefore, be broken without
applying large forces to the components and without having to reheat the
components.

optical measurements, preferably spectroscopic measurements, comprising the steps of
measuring a sample and providing a sample spectrum, providing reference spectra for a given
group of reference materials of interest, determining spectral distances between sample
spectrum and reference spectra, material identification by associating the sample to the

deviation ratio D and/or a high smoothed deviation ratio D' between all pairs of possible
plastic materials of interest is determined, and that said spectral distance is only determined
within said at least one identification frequency range.
