Abstract: A method and apparatus for mechanically and/or chemical-mechanically planarizing microelectronic substrates. In one embodiment in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a microelectronic substrate is planarized or polished on a planarizing medium having a thin film and a plurality of micro-features on the film The film may be an incompressible sheet or web substantially impervious to a planarizing solution, and the micro-features may be configured in a selected pattern on the film to restrain fluid flow of the planarizing solution across the surface of the film under the substrate. The micro-features, for example, may be configured in a selected pattern that has a plurality of support points and at least one cavity to entrap a substantially contiguous, uniform distribution of the solution under the substrate during planarization. Additionally, the selected pattern of micro-features may be reproduced from a master pattern of micro-features to duplicate the selected pattern on several sections of film so that a consistent planarizing surface may be provided for a large number of substrates.

Abstract: A package in the form of a box comprises a hollow body (1) defined by a plurality of walls which include a pivotable wall (13a) articulated along a peripheral edge (3d) of a first wall (3) so as to be able to adopt a closed position and an open position relative to an access opening to the interior of the body (1). A second wall (5) opposite the first wall (3) and having an associated hanging portion (14a, 14b) projects from the body (1) and carries means (16) for the engagement of the package on a support device. The hanging portion (14a, 14b) is connected both to the pivotable wall (13a) and to the second wall (5) of the body by separable connection means (5d, 5e). The separation of the hanging portion (14a, 14b) from the body (1) renders the pivotable wall (13a) independent of the second wall of the body (5) so that the pivotable wall can adopt the configuration in which the access opening is open. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An engine has a fuel injection valve (40) for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber (16). A fuel supply device includes a feed pump (46) and a booster pump (47). The booster pump (47) pressurizes fuel fed from the feed pump (46) under a predetermined pressure and supplies that fuel to the fuel injection valve (40). When an abnormality occurs in the booster pump (47), driving of the booster pump (47) is stopped such that the fuel injection valve (40) performs fuel injection with fuel fed from feed pump (46). When driving of the booster pump (47) is stopped, driving of the fuel injection valve (40) or the amount of air drawn into the combustion chamber (16) is restricted such that only a mixture that does not cause misfire is formed in the combustion chamber (16). Therefore, a mixture that causes misfire is not formed in the combustion chamber (16), and the mixture in the combustion chamber (16) is ignited and no unburned mixture is discharged from the combustion chamber (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The illuminated display card is a display unit in the form of a matrix of illuminated points, similar to equipment used to display travelling advertising messages. The essential differences are found in the physical dimensions, since the illuminated display card is smaller than a cigarette packet, in the operating principle, and in the purpose. The illuminated display card is essentially a "gadget", on whose display there appear travelling patterns and words which are stored by the vendor according to the "text" provided by the purchaser, and which can play short tunes which "accompany" the visual message. The possible applications include: 1) Greeting cards in general. 2) It can be fitted in boxes for holding articles or in photograph frames. For example, the illuminated display card can be fitted in a "bonbonniere" so that when the latter is opened the message recorded by the married couple appears, and a tune is played. 3) It can be fitted in panels for exhibitions or in plates to be applied to doors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An internal combustion engine, especially for motor vehicles, is provided with a fuel injection system which can operate selectively with gasoline or LPG. The LPG is injected in the liquid state after it has been drawn from a tank 5 by means of a pump 4. The surplus quantity of LPG fed to injectors 2 returns to tank 5 by means of a return pipe 6 in which there is fitted a pressure regulator 7 which chokes pipe 6 in such a way that pump 4 creates a substantially constant pressure rise as the pressure of the LPG in the tank changes. In this way LPG in the liquid state is injected at a pressure which always lies within the range within which injectors 2 operate correctly, despite changes in the pressure of the LPG in tank 5 as temperature varies. <IMAGE>
