Abstract: A semiconductor package includes: a semiconductor transistor die having an emitter/source contact pad, a drain/collector contact pad, and a gate contact pad; at least two electrical connectors disposed in a symmetrical manner on opposing lateral sides of the semiconductor die and connected with at least one of the contact pads; and an encapsulant embedding the semiconductor transistor die. The two or more electrical connectors extend through the encapsulant and form protruding sections above an upper surface of the encapsulant.

Abstract: A submarine is provided with an upwardly directed drilling device (12, 12?). The drilling device (12, 12?) is arranged in a pressure hull (4) of the submarine and has a drill (14, 14?) which can be extended out of the pressure hull (4) through an opening (10) arranged on the upper deck of the submarine. The drill has a drilling head (42, 42?) which forms a closure body which closes the opening (10) of the pressure hull. The drill functions to drill a hole from under an ice sheet to allow occupants of the submarine to exit through the hole.

Abstract: A fuse assembly (10) for mounting on a battery of a motor vehicle comprising a housing (12) of electrically insulating material having a base plate (22); a starter motor cable terminal (18) mounted on the base plate; a number of cable harness terminals (20); a fuse strip (14) secured on the base plate and including a busbar (36), a contact portion (40) adjacent the starter motor cable terminal, contact portions (38) making an electrical connection with each cable harness terminal, and fusible links (42) connecting the contact portions with the busbar; and a battery terminal clamp (16) having a mounting portion (26) positioned inside the housing and making an electrical connection with the busbar of the fuse strip, and a clamp portion (28) positioned outside the housing for making an electrical connection with a terminal post of the battery. Provides a compact fuse assembly for a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for the production of a photographic coating support material includes a vacuum drying of the synthetic resin and the master batches as well as a storing and transport these products in a closed system with cleaned and dried air.

Abstract: A premixture composition for the production of water-resistant photographic support material coated with polyolefin resin for light-sensitive materials of polyolefin resin and light-reflecting white pigment comprises a polyolefin resin formed as a copolymer of ethylene and an .alpha.-olefin. A light-reflecting white pigment is intimately mixed with the said polyolefin resin. Hydrocarbon side chains derived of an .alpha.-olefin in the copolymer comprise C.sub.1 to C.sub.16 carbon atoms. The contents of the copolymer of ethylene and .alpha.-olefin in the premixture composition amounts to from about 10 weight-percent to 100 weight-percent of the complete premixture composition. The light-reflecting white pigment is titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide employed in the mixture has been subjected to a chemical after-treatment.

Abstract: A plastic concentrate containing a pigment and/or filler for the production of a polyolefin coating compound for photographic support materials produced by means of a double screw extruder with degassing.

Abstract: A support material for photographic coatings comprises a paper or film material coated on at least one side with polyolefin resin, and the resin contains a fluorine containing polymer.

Abstract: A coffee brewing machine wherein a riser conveys heated liquid into the chamber of a liquid collecting receptacle above a filter holder containing a supply of flavoring agent, such as comminuted coffee beans. The bottom wall of the receptacle has one or more openings which admit heated liquid into the filter holder, and one or more apertures which discharge steam in such a way that the outflowing steam can or must bypass the filter holder. To this end, each aperture defines for steam a path which is inclined with reference to the bottom wall of the receptacle. An aperture can be provided in a hollow flow divider which is installed in the chamber to break up the flow of heated liquid from the riser toward the liquid discharging opening or openings. If the receptacle has a single aperture, the latter is preferably located in or at the central longitudinal vertical symmetry plane of the housing of the machine and causes the steam to leave the receptacle by flowing in such plane.

Abstract: A water-resistant support material for light-sensitive materials is disclosed, which is coated on one side or two sides with a polyolefin resin. At least the polyolefin resin of the front-side coating is a copolymer of ethylene and a non-ethylene .alpha.-olefin. This copolymer allows to add to the coating mass a high content in light-reflecting white pigment.

Abstract: A photographic paper support, which carries on both sides a water resistant coating of polyethylene, is disclosed. The polyethylene is a polyethylene of relatively low density of between 0.930 and 0.936 gram per cubic centimeter, which is produced according to high pressure polymerization. In particular, low density polyethylene (LDPE) produced according to the high pressure method with a density of 0.934 gram per cubic centimeter can be employed.

Abstract: A paper support material for photographic layers, as well as a process for the manufacture of such a support material, includes coating the paper on at least one side with a polyolefin layer containing a polyalkylene glycol, preferably a polyethylene glycol, a polypropylene glycol, or a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a quantity between 40 ppm and 1% by weight, relative to the total quantity of the polyolefin. The molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol can be between 100 and 35,000, preferably 400 to 20,000, that of the polypropylene glycol can be between 400 and 10,000, preferably between 2,000 and 4,000, and that of the copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide can be between 200 and 20,000. In addition to the polyalkylene glycol, the polyolefin layer advantageously contains a fatty acid derivative from the group of soaps and fatty acid amides.

Abstract: A hinge-mounted labeling panel having two final positions for use on plug-in modules in subassemblies of a mechanically modular system. According to the invention, a panel portion of the labeling panel is hinge-mounted on one end to a guide crossbar of the subassembly, such as a card cage, and on the other end is fitted with a lock. The labeling panel thus has a simple design, and also has two flat sides both of which can be used to attach the desired labeling.
