Abstract: The valve has a valve housing (1)to which a piezoelectric element (9) is secured at one end, the flexure of the piezoelectric element in response to an applied voltage used to control a fluidic signal source. The free end of the piezoelectric element is acted on by a snap-action mechanism, allowing it to move between 2 end position upon its flexure in response to the applied voltage, the fluidic signal source controlled via an associated lamella element (15).

Abstract: An L-seal patch bag (22) has an open top (30), a bottom seal (26), a seal along a first side edge (34), and a patch (24) covering a seamless second side edge (32). The bag is preferably made by adhering, at intervals and across a continuous flat film, a plurality of discrete film patches (24). Each of the patches covers a centerline running the length of the elongate flat film. The resulting laminated article is then folded along its length, preferably at the centerline, making a first seal by sealing the elongate flat film to itself by sealing along a first (open, non-seamless) side edge of the elongate flat film. A second seal is then made by sealing across an entirety of the folded, laminated article, which is thereafter cut across below the second seal, whereby an L-seal patch bag is produced. Analogous processes can be used to produce a side-seal patch bag or a backseamed patch bag. Still another process of making a side-seal patch bag involves folding the elongate flat film transversely before sealing along the side edges and cutting the resulting side-seal bag from the remainder ofthe elongate flat film. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch (20) has plural switch ports (24) connected by respective bidirectional links (27, 28) to a switch core (22). Connected to each switch port is a corresponding row column unit (40), each row column unit managing the writing of service cells to one row of cross point units (32) and the reading of service cells from one column of cross point units. The bidirectional links between each switch port and its corresponding row column unit of the switch core carry both service cells and control cells. An interactive exchange of control cells is implemented to sequence operation of the switch core. The operations particularly dependent upon control cell generation include transmission of service cells from the switch core; transmission of pollstate control cells from the switch core; retrieval of contents of certain control registers maintained by the switch core; and synchronization procedures. Pollstate information, indicative of 'occupied'/'free' status of selected ones of the cross point units, is transmitted in pollstate control cells. The pollstate control cells are generated and transmitted either (1) in response to a particular control cell evocative of the pollstate information, or (2) upon a change of absence/presence (e.g., free/occupied status) of a predetermined number of the affected cross point units.

Abstract: A process of heat treating a sheet article made of a 6000 series aluminum alloy to achieve good "paint-bake response" that is substantially unaffected by natural aging. The process comprises heating the alloy sheet article at a solutionizing temperature followed by cooling the alloy sheet article. The cooling involves the following steps: (1) cooling from said solutionizing temperature to a temperature in the range of 150 - 250  DEG C at a rate greater than or equal to about 4  DEG C per second; (2) further cooling the alloy to a temperature in the range of ambient to 100  DEG C at a rate of 20 to 30  DEG C (preferably about 25  DEG C) per minute; and (3) further cooling the alloy sheet article having a temperature of 55  DEG C or more after step (2) to ambient temperature at a rate of less than 2  DEG C per hour. Alloy sheet articles suitable for use in the fabrication of automobile skin part can be produced in this way.
