Title: Power mosfet with overcurrent and over-temperature protection
Inventor: NADD BRUNO C
IPC: H03K17/0812
Filed: 1994-09-09
Abstract: An integrated circuit is pin-compatible with a three-terminal power MOSFET and contains integrated circuits to turn off the device in the event of an overcurrent or an over-temperature condition. Control power voltage Vcc is applied through a first MOSFET 20 connected between the gate pin 16 and the gate electrode 10 of the power device. A second control MOSFET 14 is connected across the power device gate 10 and source 12 electrodes. The first control MOSFET is turned off and the second control MOSFET is turned on in response to a fault condition. The turn off of the first MOSFET limits the current sinked by the gate pin. A boot strap circuit is disclosed which permits the use of all N channel control MOSFETs with an N channel power device, and a trimmable temperature shutdown circuit is provided. A bipolar transistor is also integrated into the chip to prevent conduction of the P well/N epi diode formed in the device substrate. <IMAGE>

Title: Injection molding-in method of embedding a workpiece
Inventor: IDA NORIHIRO
IPC: B29C45/14
Filed: 1995-02-22
Abstract: A method of embedding a workpiece 101 with a resin uses of a mold having two ports 110, 111 defining a mold cavity 112, at least one supporting pin 120 removably projecting into the mold cavity to support the workpiece 101, and at least one gate 130 for injecting the resin into the mold cavity. In the method, the supporting pin is removed out of the mold cavity after the workpiece is supported by the pressure of the resin injected in the mold cavity and the injection of the resin is continued to fill holes left in the mold cavity by removal of the supporting pin. After the injection is finished, the injected resin is hardened to obtain the molded article. This method is useful for integrally molding a conductive member with an electrically insulating resin to form a component of an electrical device, for example, a base plate or cover plate of an electrical rotary switch for detecting positions of an automatic transmission of an automobile. An alternative method in which the workpiece 101 is restrained in the mold cavity by a vacuum applied through vacuum ports in the lower mould port is also described. <IMAGE>

Title: Alcoholic beverage with high nitrogen content and method of dispensing it
Inventor: PRICE STEPHEN GEOFFREY
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 1995-05-11
Abstract: A beverage, particularly lager, has a nitrogen gas (or like inert gas) content of at least 23 mg./l. and, optionally, a carbon dioxide content of not more than 1.8 vol./vol. Such a lager, when initially dispensed, is substantially entirely latent head comprising many suspended or dispersed bubbles with no clear lager beneath and the head settles out to form a body of clear lager with a relatively stable head. A method of dispensing such a beverage comprises ensuring that it is at 2 DEG C (+/-3 DEG C) when dispensed, has nitrogen and carbon dioxide contents as specified and is dispensed in such a manner that a large latent head is formed. The lager is then such that nitrogen bubbles come out of solution, while no large amounts of carbon dioxide come out, to give a creamy, foamy, latent head which retains its initial turbulent appearance for a substantial time.

Abstract: Absorbent pants 1 (51; 111) have a waist opening 2 and two leg openings 3,4, and comprise a pants layer 5, which during use of the pants faces the body of the user, and an outer barrier layer 6 (52,53), which is waterproof and arranged outside the pants layer 5 seen in the direction from the body of the user during use of the pants. The pants layer 5 has a surface area which is greater than that of the outer barrier layer 6 (52,53) and is joined in parts with itself eg at seam 8 or comprises means for enabling it to be joined in parts with itself, so that during use of the pants it alone constitutes the waist opening 2 and leg openings 3,4 of the pants, and that the load-bearing parts of the pants and all of the parts lying against the body of the user hereby are formed only from the pants layer 5. The pants are also elastic, where the outer barrier layer 6 (52,53) is essentially inelastic, while the pants layer 5 contains all the elasticity of the pants in the form of an elastic net or membrane (20) bonded to a layer (21) (Fig 6,7).

Installation of the chain is greatly simplified if a guide 22 is provided around the periphery of the chainwheel 12. Active-end end cap 10 also includes a pair of cord guides to move the blind slats along the track.

Patent GB-2312680-A (GB)
Title: Metallic glass alloys of zr,ti,cu and ni
Inventor: LIN XIANGHONG
IPC: C22C45/10
Filed: 1996-02-08
Abstract: At least quaternary alloys form metallic glass upon cooling below the glass transition temperature at a rate less than 10 3 K/s. One group of such alloys comprise titanium from 19 to 41 atomic percent, an early transition metal (ETM) from 4 to 21 atomic percent and copper plus a late transition metal (LTM) from 49 to 64 atomic percent. The ETM comprises zirconium and/or hafnium. The LTM comprises cobalt and/or nickel. The composition is further constrained such that the product of the copper plus LTM times the atomic proportion of LTM relative to the copper is from 2 to 14. The atomic percentage of ETM is less than 10 when the atomic percentage of titanium is as high as 41, and may be as large as 21 when the atomic percentage of titanium is as low as 24. Furthermore, when the total of copper and LTM are low, the amount of LTM present must be further limited. Another group of glass forming alloys has the formula: (ETM 1-x Ti x ) a Cu b (Ni 1-y Co y ) c , wherein x is from 0.1 to 0.3, y* small Greek psi *c is from 0 to 18, a is from 47 to 67, b is from 8 to 42, and c is from 4 to 37. This definition of the alloys has additional constraints on the range of copper content.
