Inventor: MOUNT MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: B65B43/60
Filed: 1997-10-10
Abstract: A packaging machine is described for forming, filling and sealing bags with
a product. The machine forms a film into an elongate, side-sealed tube as it travels
in a first direction, and severs the elongate tube into individual, open-ended, bag-length
elements. These are then transported in a second direction transverse to the
first direction, and a bottom seal formed on them to convert them into open-topped
bags. A carousel is arranged to receive the open-topped bags. Product is introduced
into each of the open-topped bags, and a top seal formed on each of them to convert
them into filled, sealed bags, as the bags travel round the carousel.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a capacitor for a
semiconductor device includes the step of forming a
first conductive layer pattern (103, 215) and an etching
stopping layer pattern (105, 217) having a contact hole
(104, 201) on a semiconductor substrate (101, 201). An
interlayer insulating layer (107, 219) is formed over
the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate (101,
201) so as to cover the etching stopping layer pattern
(105, 217). An interlayer insulating layer pattern
(105, 217) is formed between the first conductive layer
patterns (103, 215) by etching the interlayer insulating
layer (107, 219) using the etching stopping layer
pattern (105, 217) as an etching endpoint. After
removing the etching stopping layer pattern (105, 217),
a dielectric layer (109, 221) and a second conductive
layer (111, 223) are formed over the entire surface of
the semiconductor substrate (101, 201) where the first
conductive layer pattern (103, 215) and the interlayer
insulating layer pattern (107, 219) are formed.
Accordingly, the first conductive layer pattern (103,
215) is not damaged nor consumed.

Abstract: The invention provides an on-board electrical power
generator for application on railway cars as a power supply for
Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brake equipment and
other on-board electronic devices, such as an end of train unit.
The generator unit can by operated by vehicle vibration when the
train is moving, or by fluid pressure from the brake line when
the train is stopped. The generator unit has a magnetic piston
surrounded by a coil and is engaged on either end by diaphragm-spring
combinations. This arrangement creates a mass-spring
system in which the magnetic piston vibrates under external
excitation. The oscillation of the magnetic piston as a result
of vehicle movement allows interaction between the magnetic
piston and a coil and thus generates electrical voltage across
the coil as a result of vibration. The diaphragms of the
diaphragm-spring combinations create two sealed chambers on the
first and second ends of the generator which allows the piston to
be actuated by fluid pressure. Fluid pressure from a control
valve alternately flows between the first chamber and the second
chamber causing the piston to oscillate and thus create an
electrical voltage across such coil and thereby generating
electrical power.
