Inventor: SCHUETZ UDO
IPC: B23P19/04
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: In a method for reconditioning a returnable barrel of sheet metal, that is used initially as a bung barrel having a barrel wall and a top cover with a fill and discharge bung and fixedly connected to the barrel wall, and is to be reused as a lid barrel with a bung lid or bung-free lid connected to an outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall via a clamping ring closure after removal of the top cover; wherein the barrel wall has an upper portion forming a barrel neck recessed or tapered relative to the outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall, wherein the top cover of the initial bung barrel has a rolled outer rim placed on the outwardly rolled opening rim of the barrel wall and connected to the outwardly rolled opening rim by lock-seaming and welding, the top cover of the bung barrel is circularly cut concentrically to a longitudinal center axis of the barrel at a transition between a plate of the top cover and an upwardly extending inner rim of the top cover to separate the plate of the top cover from the barrel wall and leave a free lower portion of the upwardly extending inner rim. Subsequently, the lower portion of the upwardly extending inner rim is formed into an annular circumferential inner groove of the barrel neck.

Title: Methods and apparatus for self-diagnosing electronic price labels
Inventor: BHYRAVABHOTLA RAGHURAMA
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 2000-10-12
Abstract: A self-diagnosing electronic price label. The label communicates with a central processor in order to receive price information for display and to report the status of the label to the central processor. The label periodically runs a self-test program to verify proper operation of its components. If a component fails the self-test, the failure is reported to a central processor, and the central processor reports the failure for investigation. During normal operation, the label issues a signal to the central processor indicating normal operation. In the event of a failure, the label ceases to send the signal indicating normal operation. When the signal is not received as expected, the central processor reports the failure to receive the signal for investigation. This allows the central processor to be alerted to failures which disable communication between the label and the central processor.

Inventor: LEUNG NIKOLAI K N
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1999-05-11
Abstract: A 32 bit digital "amended electronic serial number" (AESN) is generated from a 56 bit "extended electronic serial number" (EESN). The AESN distinguishes each subscriber unit within a wireless system from each other subscriber unit. Two distinct methods are disclosed. In the first method, a manufacturer's code field ("MFR") (202) is tested to determine whether the subscriber unit has been assigned an EESN. If so, then the least significant 8 bits of the manufacturer's code field ("EMFR") (208) are appended to the "serial number"  field ("SN") (204). In the second method, each manufacturer generates serial numbers by applying a pseudo-random sequence. The "seed" for the pseudo-random sequence is based on the manufacturer's EMFR (208). This serial number is then combined with the 8 bit MFR.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of soldering a semiconductor chip to a substrate, such as to a capsule in an RF-power transistor, for instance. The semiconductor chip is provided with an adhesion layer consisting of a first material composition. A solderable layer consisting of a second material composition is disposed on this adhesion layer. An antioxidation layer consisting of a third material composition is disposed on said solderable layer. The antioxidation layer is coated with a layer of gold-tin solder. The chip is placed on a solderable capsule surface, via said gold-tin solder. The capsule and chip are exposed to an inert environment to which a reducing gas is delivered and the capsule and chip are subjected to a pressure substantially beneath atmospheric pressure whilst the gold-tin solder is heated to a temperature above its melting point. The gas pressure is increased whilst the gold-tin solder is molten and the temperature is lowered when a predetermined gas pressure is exceeded, so that the gold-tin solder will solidify.
