Abstract: A method of manufacturing capacitive elements for a capacitive device which comprises one or more layers is provided. At least one layer is etched from a first surface to a second surface thereof to form two sections of the layer, such that the sections are movable relative to one another, and such that a wall extending from the first surface to the second surface is formed on each of the two sections, the walls defining a gap therebetween. An etching step forms multiple recesses in each wall such that multiple capacitive elements are defined between adjacent recesses, the capacitive elements of one wall being offset from those of the other wall when the sections are stationary with respect to one another. A corresponding capacitive device is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a sensor chip and a structure housing the sensor chip. The structure is covered by a mold compound and is fabricated from a ceramic or a glass material.

Abstract: A micro-electromechanical package includes a casing and a microelectronic circuit. At least one portion of the casing includes a piezoelectric material arranged such that, in use, dynamically changing mechanical strain in the at least one portion produces an electrical charge usable as a power source by the microelectronic circuit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical conductor for a semiconductor device having one or more layers includes etching from a first surface to a second surface of at least one layer of the device to form a channel having a wall extending from the first surface to the second surface. The channel defines a gap extending from the first surface to the second surface. An insulating layer is provided on the channel wall. Conductive material is patterned on the channel wall to form multiple separate electrical conductors, which are insulated from material of the at least one layer by the insulating layer, thereon, such that the gap that extends from the first surface to the second surface is maintained. A corresponding semiconductor device is also provided.

Abstract: A method of producing material in the form of a material web (4) that has discrete pieces of material (6) mounted thereon without the using of an adhesive agent and while using only one single anvil roll, and an arrangement (10) for carrying out the method and comprising an anvil roll (2) which rotates about its longitudinal axis and which is intended to be partially embraced by or be tangential to said web (4), said roll (2) carrying sequentially as seen in its direction of rotation at least one cutting means (1) for cutting discrete pieces from a material (6),and a bonding or fastening (5), such as ultrasound welding means, wherein the anvil roll (2) forms a counterpressure means for a coaction with the cutting means (1) and the bonding means (5), wherein said roll includes said holding means (7) for holding the cut discrete pieces of material (6) against the roll (2) prior to bonding or fastening said discrete pieces to said web by means of said bonding means (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary garment (1) for a diaper, an incontinence garment or the like, comprising a casing (3, 4), an outer side of the casing being distal from the body of the wearer in use of the garment and an inner side being proximal to the body of the wearer in use of the garment, said casing having a front part (5), a rear part (6) and a crotch part (7) lying between the front and rear parts, and fastening tabs (11, 12) laterally projecting from each side of the casing in the rear or front part thereof, said fastening tabs (11, 12) being portions of a band (9) which is laterally extending over the width of the casing.

Abstract: A fastener joins together opposing front and rear side-parts and respectively of an absorbent article in the form of a diaper or the like, so as to form an encircling waistband. The article includes a central part having an absorbent body, and front and rear pliable side-parts which extend from respective sides of the central diaper part. The fastener includes two mutually coacting first and second fastener elements of which the first element is attached to a front side-part and the second element is attached to the rear side-part on the same side of the central part as its associated first element. The first fastener element or the second fastener element includes a fastening portion which projects out from the perimeter of the waistband and which can be inserted into an insertion opening in the associated second or first fastener element.
