Abstract: A residual-current operated protective device includes a detection device (4) for detecting a fault current, and a comparison device (8) for comparing the fault current with at least one given reference value, and for driving at least one optical fault-current-indicating element (LED2,LED3). The detection device (4) contains a circuit for generating an error voltage (UE) from the derived error current (FI).   The comparison device (8) comprises a comparator circuit (10) for comparing the error voltage (UE) with a reference voltage (Uref1,Uref2), the comparator circuit (10) being specifically designed as a Schmitt-trigger circuit, and containing a comparator (V2,V3) for each optical fault-current-indicating element (LED2,LED3).

Abstract: The present invention provides a separable bottom stop
assembly (1) which can be easily operated by children or people
who are handicapped with one of their hands. A coupling member
(10) and a locking member (20) respectively provided at lower
ends of left and right fastener stringers (2,2) are rotatably
coupled together by fitting resilient leg portions (11) of
a coupling base portion (17) of the coupling member (10) into
a hole portion (21) of a coupling base portion (31) of the
locking member (20). Then, by pulling down a slider (7), a
lower end portion of the slider urges a pivotal abutting
portion (13) of the coupling member (10) to pivotally move
a lateral-inserting fitting portion (14) of the coupling
member (10) to a position where the slider can be pulled up.
A locking projecting portion (16) of the coupling member (10)
climbs over a projecting portion (24) of the locking member
(20) to be locked so as to prevent separation of the coupling
member (10) in a horizontal direction. Therefore, it is
possible to easily pull up the slider (7) by a single hand
to couple and close a slide fastener.

valve (39). A circumferential groove (41) is formed in
an inner peripheral surface of the front part of the
head cap and a ring-like seal (42) is fitted into the
groove. When a driver bit (29) is to be changed,
fitting bolts are removed and a housing (22) and the
head cap are separated from each other. Then, the head
cap, the head valve, the seal, the piston and the driver
bit can all be removed together from the housing.

Abstract: A method for forming a balloon for a dilation catheter is provided
herein. The method includes the steps of: (i) positioning a tube in a
preconditioned mold; (ii) expanding the tube in a preconditioned mold to form
a parison; (iii) positioning the parison in a balloon mold; and (iv) expanding
the parison within the balloon mold to form the balloon. Thus, the tube is
initially expanded into a parison in the preconditioned mold. Subsequently,
the parison is expanded into a balloon in the balloon mold. Because of this
unique manufacturing process, polyester block copolymers can be formed
into balloons. Some of these polyester block copolymers could not be formed
into a balloon using prior art blow molding processes. The resulting balloon
exhibits superior characteristics, including relatively thin and consistent walls,
soft texture, low uninflated crossing profile, expansion in a predictable
fashion, and good tensile strength.

Abstract: A method of forming a direct, copper-to-copper, connection
between levels in an IC is disclosed. A via interconnection is formed by
isotropically depositing a barrier material in a via through an insulator to
a lower copper level, and then anisotropically etching the via to remove
the barrier material covering the lower copper level. The anisotropic etch
leaves the barrier material lining the via through the insulator. The
subsequently deposited upper metal level then directly contacts the lower
copper level when the via is filled. A dual damascene interconnection is
formed by etching an interconnection trench in an insulator and
anisotropically depositing a non-conductive barrier material in the trench
bottom. Then a via is formed from the trench interconnect to a lower
copper level. As above, a conductive barrier material is isotropically
deposited in the trench/via structure, and anisotropically etched to remove
the barrier material covering the lower copper level. The insulating
barrier material, lining the trench and via, remains. An IC via
interconnection structure and a dual damascene interconnection
structure, made in accordance with the above described methods, are also
provided.

Inventor: REIMERT LARRY E
IPC: E21B19/16
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed to complete a threaded connection
between two connector members by relative rotation between the connectors,
utilizing fluid pressure between them to overcome radial load resistance
during make up by rotation, and thereafter to produce axial and radial loading
in the completed connection, but without otherwise applying longitudinal
forces to drive the two connectors together to make up the threaded
connection. In a disclosed embodiment, a pin connector (10) has a tapered neck
with external threads, and a box connector (12) has a collar with a tapered interior,
featuring tapered threads. The pin neck is received within the box collar, and
the two sets of threads are made up by relative rotation between the pin and
box. When a stall position is reached due to radial resistance forces, two
combinations of bump and ramp seals (38,42,48,52) provide a sealed zone between the sets
of threads. Fluid pressure is applied in the sealed zone to radially contract the
neck and expand the collar without breaking the sealing engagement between
the bump seals and the ramp seals. The resulting reduction of radial resistance
between the neck and collar allows the further threading of the pin and box
together by rotation between them until load surfaces of the pin and box
mutually engage. Subsequent release of the fluid pressure from the sealed
zone allows the pin neck to expand and the box collar to contract, moving the
two sets of threads together, and radially loading the engagement at the seals.
The load surfaces of the pin and box threads are slanted so that a wedging
action is produced that further axially loads the connected pin and box.
