Title: Method and device for patenting steel wires
Inventor: BAUDEN JACQUES
IPC: C21D9/64
Filed: 2003-06-05
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for patenting at least one steel wire, according to which the temperature is increased at least to a level at which the steel austenitizes, followed by quenching in a liquid medium by directing the wire through at least one curtain of cooling liquid so as to obtain a cooling temperature that lies below the austenitizing temperature, the liquid flowing in a turbulent manner substantially perpendicular to the wire, followed by an isothermal stage during which the wire is maintained at a constant temperature allowing pearlitic transformation. The inventive method is characterized by the fact that additionally, a number of successive curtains can be specifically adjusted so as to obtain the temperature which allows pearlitic transformation and is to be kept constant during the isothermal stage as the cooling temperature through the cooling process in a liquid medium, and the isothermal stage immediately follows the cooling process in a liquid medium.

Patent CA-2513779-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WENKE STEPHAN
IPC: H01L21/68
Filed: 2005-07-26
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for positioning openings (1) of a predetermined position in a substrate (2) that is in the form of a printing template by using a laser. To this end, the substrate is positioned by fixing means (3) in the form of a clamping frame. When this is done, local displacement of the openings (1) resulting from subsequent steps in the process, and which lead to a change in the tension state of the substrate (2), are avoided because the coordinates of a central reference point (4) are determined first. The particular distance (a) from each predetermined positions of the openings (1) to this reference point (4) is then determined and a ranking is formed therefrom. This ranking then forms the basis for a processing program (6) by which the path followed by the laser head is controlled and the openings are positioned in the substrate (2)

IPC: B65B13/22
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: Part of a circular track (11) is constructed so that it can open and close, and a truck (4) rides on this circular track (11). A means of -feeding the packaging material (7) is mounted on the truck (4), and it feeds the packaging material (6) from a packaging material coil (5). Part of the item for packaging (8) is placed in the closed circular track (11) and is supported by a means of support (9). A means of running the truck (12) is set along the circular track (11) and is engaged with the above-mentioned truck (4), and by driving the means of running the truck (12), the truck (4) is caused to revolve along the circular track (11). There is no need to mount on the truck a driving means such as a motor. Accordingly, it is possible to make the truck compact and decrease the curvature radius of each corner of the circular track. This results in the possibility of wrapping a relatively large item for packaging and at the same time make a packaging device simple and compact in its entirety.
