Abstract: A supporting rail profile (10) having a U-shaped cross-section is used for the mounting of terminal blocks and/or disconnection blocks on which electrical contact is made with cable cores. This U-shaped cross-section has U-limbs (11) which are provided with flaps (14) for guiding and holding the blocks, and have stops (16) for height support of the blocks. For simple and quick production of the supporting rail profile in any desired length, it is proposed to stamp a lateral gap (20) in the supporting rail profile (10) at a longitudinal distance (23) which corresponds to one or more times the stamping-pattern periodicity of the subsequent U-limbs and U-webs. The lateral gap (20) passes through the one U-limb (11) as far as the central web (13) between successive bent sections which are ready-bent to form the U-cross-section only in sections and in each case autonomously. A material bridge (30) is also cut out of the material of the supporting rail profile in the end region of the one bent section. The material bridge (30) originates from the cut-free U-limb (11) of the one bent section, passes through the lateral gap (20) and is anchored by means of its free bridge end (32) on the limb (11) of the adjacent bent section. In consequence, the two mutually independent bent sections are connected to one another and form a continuous supporting rail profile (10) with a U-shaped cross-section. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of forming an electrically conductive contact on an insulated substrate such as for example a printed circuit board includes the step of defining a contact area on the substrate and applying a copper buss on the substrate so that it extends beyond the marginal edges of the contact area. A thin layer of soldermask is then applied to cover the upper surface of the copper buss outside of the contact area. Thereafter, a Thick Film Polymer (TFP) conductive paste is applied over the copper buss in the contact area defined on the substrate and over a small portion of the soldermask so that the copper buss is covered completely.

Abstract: A system including an operator-machine interface is described for enabling an operator readily to make a selection from a large number of options in the control of a process or the creation of a product. The options are stored on a computer disc as models or solutions together with associated scale values and rejection constraints of attributes of the model. The interface presents the operator with a plurality of graphics scales (301A-301E) each having a sliding member which can be manipulated by the operator to select a desired value on the scale. The interface also presents corresponding rejection constraint items (302) to the operator for entry of a binary reply. The system then selects those models having rejection constraints matching the input binary replies and which have scale values related to the selected values by a predetermined correlation function. Having presented the selected models to the operator, a desired one of these models is utilised by the system to control the final form of a product.

Abstract: German Offenlegungsschrift 40 20 124 indicates that even forming boards made of plastic must have such a low coefficient of thermal conductivity that the setting concrete can cool down. If turning chips are used, these must be chemically cleaned since they have come into contact with lubricating drilling fluid. In addition, chips require an adhesive bridge to the plastic. The invention would like to avoid this type of pretreatment of the metal bodies. To do this, the invention uses ground foil shreds, where "ground" has a meaning in the sense of the technique of "cutting mills" or "cutting granulators". <IMAGE>

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for endpoint detection in a semiconductor wafer etching ysstem characterised in the steps of: 1) scanning a semiconductor wafer (10) with a narrowly focussed laser beam (24); 2) analyzing a reflected portion of the beam to determine a preferred parking spot (P) on a preferred flat area (#8) of the wafer; 3) parking the beams at the preferred spot; and 4) analyzing the reflected portion of the beam to determine when the preferred flat area has been etched through. The beam spot (18) of the laser beam (24) is amller than the width of the preferred flat area to eliminate noise generated at the transition boundaries of the flat area. Preferably, the wafer is scanned several times along the same beam path to permit the comparison of several scans to determine the preferred parking spot. The apparatus includes a beam forming assembled (62, 64, 66); a scanning assembly which causes the laser beam to scan across the wafer; a detection assembly (76) responsive to a portion of the laser beam which is reflected off the wafer; and a controller (78) which operates the laser and the scanning assembly and which is responsive to an output of the detection assembly. When output of the detection assembly indicates a cessation of the characteristic etching curve, the controller develops an endpoint detection signal which can automatically shut down the etching system.

Abstract: Telecommunications services are implemented on a public switched telephone network by one or more services network elements, which may be adjuncts or service control points. The services network elements send high level call configuration commands to one or more switching systems which connect calling parties to called parties. The high level call configuration commands direct the switching system to change from an initial call configuration to a final target call configuration which fully effectuates a desired telecommunication service. The switching system contains a processor which converts the high level call configuration commands to low level primitive messages which directly manipulate call processing resources in a switching system. The design of services network elements and the nature of communications between those network elements and the telecommunications switching systems is simplified by the use of these high level call configuration commands. Also, new services are easily developed and detrimental interactions with existing switching system features is avoided.

Abstract: A disk player has a magazine for holding disks and mechanisms for transporting disks between four positions, an eject position, a load position, a playback position, and a store position. A disk reader is positioned to read a selected disk in the playback position while the selected disk overlaps disks in the magazine. The disks are held on carriages in the magazine and are transported on the carriages to the disk reader. Each carriage has a V-shaped aperture which provides for access by the disk reader to a recording surface of the selected disk. Clearance for playing the selected disk is also provided by the V-shaped apertures of adjacent carriages in the magazine. The selected disk is raised by the disk reader into an area within the V-shaped aperture of the carriage in the magazine which is above the disk being played. A selected carriage is carried by a tray between the eject position and the load position. The selected carriage is partially removed from the tray during transport from the load position to the playback position. The partial removal elongates an access aperture for the disk rider and allows a shortened tray length to be achieved. The tray has protrusions which extend into the V-shaped aperture and provide supplemental support for a disk held in the selected carriage. Countersunk apertures extend into the protrusions to facilitate removal of a disk from the tray and carriage.
