spaced-apart primary ridges (224,226) each having a portion thereof
located in a common first plane with at least one of said edge flanges,
a secondary ridge (228) having a portion thereof located in a second
plane spaced from said first plane and substantially parallel thereto; said
secondary ridge being provided between an adjacent one of said edge
flanges (220,222) and said first primary ridge of the respective plate;
said secondary ridges being arranged such that in back-to-back plate
pairs, said secondary ridges are joined; said primary ridges having

passage of said second heat exchanging fluid and said openings (240)
communicate to define a manifold for the flow of said second heat
exchanging fuid, 
said intermediate areas of back-to-back plate pairs
have spaced-apart portions defining outer flow passages (256)
therebetween, and 
the primary ridges (224,226) of at least one plate of each
pair include ribs (260) extending across the width of least one primary
ridge of the at least one plate and distributed along the length of the
primary ridge, said ribs (260) being located between and separated from
said openings (238) formed in the primary ridge and forming crossover

Abstract: A tape running device of the present invention can
stop running of the tape at its ending or beginning portion
without using a beginning, an ending and a light emitting
element. The tape running device for driving a tape between
a supply reel and a take-up reel, if a portion of the tape
does not contain information, stops the running of the tape.
Alternatively, the tape running device further determines
whether or not a supply reel pulse and a take-up reel pulse
are generated. And if the supply reel pulse and the take-up
reel pulse are not generated, the tape running device stops
the running of the tape. Alternatively, the tape running
device further determines whether or not a head drum signal
is generated. If the head drum signal is not generated, the
tape running device stops the running of the tape.

IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1998-09-23
Abstract: A heat conductive substrate (50) is mounted within a through-opening (60) of a
printed circuit board (52). An integrated circuit (42) then is mounted to one side of the heat
conductive substrate, while a heat sink (90) is fixed in thermal contact to the other side of the
substrate. There is no direct thermal contact between the IC and the PC board. The heat
conductive substrate is mounted to the PC board by applying a controlled pressure to normal
surfaces of multiple portions (71) of the substrate. Such pressure reducing the thickness and
expands the area of the pressed portions locking the substrate to the PC board. An air gap (75)
occurs between the substrate and the PC board everywhere except for the pressed regions of the
substrate. Such pressed regions occur along the periphery (67) of the substrate.

Title: Method for improving wear resistance of polymeric bioimplantable components
Inventor: HAMILTON JOHN V
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 1996-04-02
Abstract: Wear resistance and oxidation resistance of bioimplantable polymeric
parts is improved by packaging the parts within flexible, gas impermeable containers
while subjecting the containers and the parts to a relatively high vacuum force. The
containers are heat sealed while subjected to the vacuum force such that, upon sealing,
hydrostatic pressure is exerted on the part. Following sealing of the packages, the
packages and their contents are irradiated to an extent sufficient to sterilize the parts
and to promote crosslinking within the part. Alternatively, the same property
enhancements can be imparted to polymeric parts by packaging the part within rigid
or flexible containers, minimizing the oxygen content within the containers,
pressurizing the containers with an inert gas, or with a mixture of hydrogen and an
inert gas, to greater than 1.5 atmospheres, and irradiating the part and the container.
