Abstract: A can end having a countersink bead (25), an inclined chuck wall (24) and a strong seam, resists distortion from its circular profile when subjected to thermal processing or when packaging carbonated beverages. This high hoop strength affects the manner in which the can end ultimately fails when placed under extreme abuse conditions, even if buckle pressure performance is within industry specified standards. The can end of the invention has weakened regions introduced which control the failure mode whilst maintaining specified buckle pressure performance. In one embodiment, the weakened region comprises expansion of the countersink bead to act as a trigger for local peaking, together with a groove in the chuck wall which prevents the peaking force from being concentrated at a single point which could result in leaking by the production of a pin hole. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A function-oriented manufacturing approach in RF front-end architecture for use in a multi-band mobile phone. Electronic components in a front-end module, such as low-noise amplifiers that require the demanding silicon bipolar process, are fabricated separately from those components in an RF-ASIC that require the less demanding, yet more costly, Bi-CMOS process. When the transmission frequency band and the receiving band overlap, separate receiving antenna and transmitting antenna are used, instead of an antenna switch module with a duplexer, connected to separate bandpass filters for band selection. Differential Rx antennas are used so that the whole Rx-chain can be made differential. Furthermore, different impedances for Tx out and Rx in can be realized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fixing element for fixing a component to a support part. The element comprises a retaining part ( 1 ) for the component to be fixed and a hollow anchor foot ( 2 ), which is used to anchor the fixing element in a continuous bore of the support part. Two spring arm pairs ( 5, 6 ), which widen towards the retaining part ( 1 ), run from the lower edge in opposing openings ( 4 ) in the wall of the anchor foot ( 2 ), one short and one long spring arm ( 5 and 6 ) respectively lying adjacent to one another in one of the openings ( 4 ) and being offset in relation to the short and long spring arm ( 5 and 6 ) in the other opening ( 4 ). As both spring arm pairs ( 5, 6 ) are graduated towards the retaining part ( 1 ), starting from a respective outer edge ( 11, 12 ) that lies at the greatest radial distance from the central axis (M) of the fixing element, front faces ( 7, 8 ) and step faces ( 9, 10 ) are created on different horizontal planes. The faces can rest on the underside of a support part. Vertical bearing faces are created simultaneously ( 13, 14 ) at different radial distances from the central axis (M). The vertical faces can rest on the peripheral face of bores of varying diameters. The fixing element can thus be used both for a wide range of material strengths of the support part and for a wide range of diameters of the bore with high functional reliability. Both ranges can be covered by small graduation increments. An umbrella-shaped, spring stop ( 15 ) lying between the retaining part ( 1 ) and the anchor foot ( 2 ) permits a continuous adaptation between the stages for the range of material strengths.
