Abstract: L'invention concerne un substrat (14) auxiliaire de montage hiérarchique de forme rectangulaire, qui est monté autour d'un composant semi-conducteur (15) monté sur une carte à circuit imprimé (11); un autre composant semi-conducteur (16) monté au-dessus du composant semi-conducteur (15) repose sur le substrat (14) et comporte des bornes reliées au substrat (14). Le substrat (14) auxiliaire de montage hiérarchique comporte des réseaux d'interconnexions (35a) et des trous traversants (34a), et, à l'intérieur de ceux-ci, une couche (32) d'alimentation et une couche (33) de masse. Les plages du circuit imprimé situées sur la surface inférieure sont dispersées par comparaison aux plages (23a) de carte du composant situées sur la surface supérieure. Pour cette raison, l'espace (41) entre des plages adjacentes de la carte (11) à circuit imprimé correspondant au composant semi-conducteur (16) est élargi, de manière à permettre le passage aisé, dans cet espace (41), d'un réseau d'interconnexions (43) situé sur la carte à circuit imprimé et s'étendant vers l'extérieur à partir d'une plage (21a) à relier au composant semi-conducteur (15).

The coupling further includes an outer sleeve intended for abutment with the outer surface of said pipe end. The outer sleeve is provided with a slot-like opening and means for adjusting the width of said opening. When the outer sleeve is in a tightened, adjusted state, the sleeve will be internally and externally cylindrical. A center axis through the outer cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve is spaced at a distance from a center axis through the inner cylindrical surface of the outer sleeve. In the tightened, adjusted state of the outer sleeve, the internal radius of said sleeve is smaller than the external radius of said pipe end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid conduit piece ( 8 ) for passing therethrough a spontaneously exothermic working fluid such as a synthetic polymer, a cellulose derivative and a solution on the basis of cellulose, water and amino oxide, said fluid conduit piece comprising a working fluid zone ( 9 ) through which said working fluid flows. The aim of the invention is to prevent the fluid conduit piece and other fluidic devices from being damaged in the event of a spontaneous exothermic reaction in the working fluid. To this end, the fluid conduit piece is provided with an anti-rupture device ( 1 ) for the purpose of pressure relief. Said anti-rupture device has a pressure equalizing volume ( 7 ) that, once a predetermined rupture pressure is exceeded, can be converted from a normal operation state in which the pressure equalizing volume is separated from the working fluid zone into a rupture state in which the pressure equalizing volume is linked with the working fluid zone. The pressure equalizing volume is at least partially disposed in the working fluid zone and the working fluid at least partially flows around it, thereby reducing the size of the fluid conduit piece.
