Abstract: In the technical field of known cardholders for devices such as cards with magnetic stripes on which is encoded information and or data in the form of patterns of magnetism, the known cardholders offer no method of `keeping` (in magnetism terminology) the magnetic patterns. The present invention is characterised by incorporating into the cardholders, keepers in the form of sheets of magnetically soft ferromagnetic material with high resistance. The benefit of the invention is obtained when devices are placed with the reading surface of their magnetized stripes in close contact with the surface of the ferromagnetic material which, making use of known properties of the material, then acts as keeper of the magnetic patterns.

Abstract: A hybrid package in which Kovar feedthroughs are friction welded to an aluminum housing. Friction welding produces a very strong weld joint which resists the thermal stresses induced between the aluminum housing and Kovar feedthroughs by the large difference in their coefficients of thermal expansion. Friction welding also produces a very small heat affected zone, while brazing, soldering and other types of welding produce large heat affected zones which can cause annealing problems. The aluminum package is easy to machine, light in weight and provides good heat dissipation for the hybrid microcircuits in the package.

A non-oxidizing metal layer is formed between an oxide superconducting material and an oxidizing metal support in order to prevent oxygen from being taken away from the oxide superconducting material by the oxidizing metal support during a subsequent heat treatment for producing an oxide superconductor to thereby obtaining a wire composite. The wire composite is then heated to produce the oxide superconductor.

Abstract: A plastic package that includes a cavity for holding an integrated circuit die. The package also includes several singel-piece leads that each have bonding pad area on one end and an area for connecting to external circuitry on the other end. The package's plastic body supports the leads, separates them from each other, and includes a ridge that substantially encircles the cavity and separates the bonding pad areas from the cavity. The package may be made by forming a first portion including alignment protrusions sized to receive lead bonding pad ends, placing the leads with their bonding pads so that they are spaced apart by the protrusions, and securing them, preferably by supplying heat to the protrusions. A second portion of the package may then be molded around the first portion, the leads, and, preferably, a heat sink.

Abstract: This is a semiconductor chip in which the conductive path between the chip and the lead frame via wires can be easily and reproduceably improved. This is accomplished by improving the bond between the wires and the lead frame members to which the wires are joined and by creating additional contacts between each wire and its respective lead even if the bonded contact breaks or fails at or immediately adjacent to the bonding point. This is accomplished by placing an insulating layer on the active surface of each chip, carrying input and output bonding pads thereon, to which lead frame conductors have been connected by bonding wires.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns the encapsulation of integrated circuit chips, notably with a view to their being incorporated in a chip card. The encapsulation method comprises the formation of a pre-punched metallic conductive grid, the formation of a strip of pre-perforated plastic material, the transfer of a strip to the grid, the positioning of an integrated circuit chip in a perforation of the strip, and the formation of electrical connections between the chip and zones of the grid located in perforations of the strip. The perforations of the strip and the punched slots of the grid are arranged so that the strip covers and blocks all the interstices between conductors of the grid in the useful region corresponding to a module to be made. When a protecting resin is laid, it is confined and does not leak through the interstices of the grid. A plastic or metal ring defines the heightwise dimension of the micromodule.

The core comprises an installing portion which is fixed to the joint of the conductive housing. A segregating portion or area separates the metal mesh from the surface of the core in the corner portions so that when the core elastically deforms greatly during insertion or use of the gasket, the metal mesh does not break as the core presses and pulls the metal mesh.
