A semi-conductor device assembly consists of two semi-conductor elements connected in parallel in a mounting in which the two elements are arranged on opposite sides of a common electrode, and each element is pressure held between the common electrode and another electrode. This arrangement allows for the use of pressure contacts without the need to subject brittle insulating members of the mounting structures to the contact pressure. In Fig. 1 two diodes 10 are mounted on opposing faces of a parallelepipedic recess 13 in a bolt head 14. Between the diodes is a common electrode consisting of two conducting bodies 18, 19 urged apart by a spring 20. The bolt, intended to screw into a cooling means, constitutes one electrode and a connecting lead 21 contacts the common electrode and is led out through an insulating mass 23 which covers the open end of the recess to make the latter an hermetically sealed enclosure. In Fig. 2 the diodes 10 are mounted on conducting bases 25, 26 with the common electrode 32 between them, the whole being held between heat sink bodies 33, 34 by suitable, e.g. screw, clamping means diagrammatically represented at 45. The pair of diodes are enclosed in a box consisting of ceramic rings 27, 28 and metal rings 29, 30 sealed as shown to the base members 25, 26 and to the common electrode 32. Fig. 3 (not shown), depicts a modification of Fig. 2 in which a separate box-like enclosure surrounds each diode and a substantial space between them is bridged by a metallic body (40) constituting the common electrode. All three forms may be modified to accommodate transistors or thyristors whose third electrodes may be led out through holes in the insulated housing portions. Silicon and germanium are specified as semiconductor materials; numerous electrode materials are also mentioned in the specification.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Process and Apparatus for Checking Banknotes and the Like
Inventor: GIORI GUALTIERO

Abstract: 1,150,605. Photo-electric bank-note inspection. G. GIORI. May 31, 1966 [June 2, 1965], No.24294/66. Heading G1A. Bank-notes after printing are inspected photoelectrically to determine whether the printing is correctly centred upon the note. An operator initially marks any imperfectly coloured banknotes whilst still in a sheet and after subsequent cutting, stacking and counting the individual bank-notes pass by means of rollers or a conveyer belt before two detecting systems each inspecting both sides of the bank-note. A first detecting system senses the previously applied colour mark either optically or by the magnetic or electric properties of the marking ink and a second, photoelectric, system monitors the centring of the printing. Imperfect bank-notes are discarded prior to priming with serial numbers or of already printed are replaced by perfect ones. Further counting takes place before final packaging. Correct centring is determined by measuring the width of the plain border surrounding the printing at two specific points along one edge and at one point along an adjacent edge. In one arrangement the bank-note must be correctly aligned on the conveyer or rollers with respect to the detecting apparatus and is arranged with its longer edge transverse to the direction of motion. Two light beams are directed on to the conveyer at spaced points across the path of the note and with associated electronic multipliers receiving reflected light time the passage of the border along the longer edge as it goes by and so provide a measure of its width at the two points. The width of the border along the adjacent edge, which extends parallel to the direction of motion, is measured by an oscillating photo-electric device scanning the border and whose readings are taken at a certain time after the leading edge of the bank-note has been detected. The electrical signals representing the widths. are compared with standard electrical signals to determine whether the note is acceptable. To avoid the need for precise alignment of the note on the conveyer the apparatus shown in Fig. 7 may be used, where an image of the border is projected upon optical fibres 62: the number over which the image extends being photo-electrically determined to provide a measure of the width of the border.
