Patent GB-0202710-D0 (GB)
Title: Fastener
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 2002-02-06
Abstract: A shearable fastener has a threaded shank adapted for engagement with a threaded bore and a head portion formed for engagement with a drive tool, the shank being formed with a series of axially separated weakenings defining a series of shear planes. The weakenings are formed such that the applied torque necessary to cause the shank to shear increases progressively from the shear plane furthest from the head portion to the shear plane nearest the head portion. The weakenings are holes, grooves or slits formed in the shank and the radius at the bottom of the holes, grooves or slits is varied to produce or contribute to the increase in shear torque.

IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 2002-09-28
Abstract: A method and system for testing RF chips for radio specification compliance is described. The system comprises a test board ( 80 ) having a plurality of interconnected sockets ( 82 a,b,c) for receiving chips to be tested. In testing, signals generated by transmitter circuitry ( 20 ) within a group of test chips are used to test the receiver ( 30 ) functionality of the other chips loaded in the system. Hence, for tests requiring several analogue radio signals, a plurality of chips are tested at the same time using signals generated from other chips. Additionally, the system does not require expensive dedicated RF analogue signal generating equipment.

Title: Pressure retaining enclosure
IPC: H02G15/18
Filed: 1984-01-10
Abstract: © An enclosure (1) around a substrate (3) such as a telecommunications cable is made pressure retaining by the provision of re-entrant seals (5), generally V-shaped in cross-section, that are positioned at the region where the enclosure is bonded (4) to the substrate pressure within the enclosure thus tends to open the V rather than put the bond in peel.

Patent GB-8403968-D0 (GB)
Title: Chip resistors
IPC: H01C17/28
Filed: 1984-02-15
Abstract: A method of forming chip resistors in which a resistive coating is applied to an insulating substrate which is subsequently divided up into single chip components includes the step of providing end terminations for the individual chip resistors before the sheet is divided up. This is achieved by forming a hole 13 in the substrate 11 at the position of each end termination and then coating the holes with an electrically conductive material 14 which electrically connects with the adjacent region of the resistive coating 12. In order to improve the solderability and the reliability of the end terminations the holes 13 may be filled with solder 15. The electrical value of the resistive element coating may then be adjusted to a precise value by trimming away some of the resistive element material with a laser. Finally, the substrate is divided up into the single chip resistor components.
