Title: Idler-roller recoil device
Inventor: LIVESAY RICHARD E
IPC: B62D55/108
Filed: 1980-11-19
Abstract: An idler recoil device (10) is utilized for track-type vehicles. The idler recoil device (10) protects a crawler track system (11) from damage when some foreign object, such as a rock, is trapped between an endless chain link assembly (28) and a chain supporting element (20, 22, 24, 26) of the crawler track system (11). An idler link (30) is pivotally connected to a track frame (12) of the crawler track system (11) and a recoilable rear idler (24) is rotatably positioned on an idler hub (54) itself pivotally connected to said idler link (30). An increase in tension on said endless chain link assembly (28) causes said idler hub (54) to rotate away from said endless chain link assembly (28) decreasing track path length and, consequently, tension. This rotation is resiliently resisted by a recoil pad (66) mounted between said idler hub (54) and said idler link (30). A tensile link (68) prevents any recoil up to a preselected endless chain link assembly (28) tension.

Title: Process for preparing peat fibers from peat
Inventor: SCHMIDT EVALD GOTTFRIED
IPC: D01B1/50
Filed: 1982-10-12
Abstract: The process involves preparing a suspension of peat, whereby peat fibers are liberated from the parent material. Coarse particles are separated in a dewatering step, and peat fiber material of a desired water content is obtained. The invention provides a process in which colloidal particles resulting from suspending the peat are isolated from the colloid containing water, as a byproduct of peat processing, and in which the process water is recycled into the peat suspension. This makes it possible to use a simple, mobile installation which is suitable for use almost all year round, in relatively small peat areas which may be poorly drained or otherwise up to now unsuitable for peat exploitation. The peat fibers and colloid material obtained via the process have use as soil improvers and modifiers, as combustion material, and in cardboard and filter manufacture.

Title: Apparatus and method for fabricating modules comprising stacked circuit-carrying layers
Inventor: BELANGER ROBERT J
IPC: H01L27/00
Filed: 1985-11-20
Abstract: A method and related fixtures which permit formation of stacks of thin circuitry-carrying layers. The layers terminate in an access plane having a two-dimensional array of closely-spaced electrical leads. The method includes the steps of measuring the thickness of separate chips, selecting groups of chips having appropriate thicknesses, applying appropriate amounts of epoxy between adjacent chips, aligning the chips (and their electrical leads) in the direction parallel to their planes (i.e., the X-axis), and closing the cavity with an end wall which (a) exerts pressure on the stacked chips and epoxy in a direction perpendicular to the chip planes, and (b) establishes a fixed height of the stack in order to align the leads in the Y-axis. The final fixture provides a fixed-size cavity for confining the layers during curing of thermo-setting adhesive which has been applied between each adjacent pair of layers. An initial fixture is provided for accurately measuring the thickness of each layer under substantial layer-flattening pressure. An intermediate fixture is provided for wet stacking the layers prior to their insertion into the final fixture.
