Abstract: The invention provides a side fastener comprising a fastener element in which a metallic coating layer is formed, the metallic coating layer being never scraped by a sliding of a slider. In a coil-shaped fastener element made of synthetic resin, a metallic coating layer is formed on the surface of a leg portion except an inverted portion and a coupling head with which a guide flange and a guide post of a slider come into contact. Therefore, no metallic coating layer is formed on a portion with which the guide flange and guide post of the slider come into contact. As a result, such an event that the metallic coating layer is scraped and that metallic powder is scattered is prevented, so that a fastener element having a beautiful metallic gloss can be used for a long term and a cheap, fashionable slide fastener is obtained. This invention can be applied to zigzag type, injection molded type and metal type fastener elements.

Abstract: The inventive method provides highly desirable hand to various different types of fabrics through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or napping of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure includes “nicking” the immobilized fibers thereby permitting the fibers to produce a substantially balanced strength of the target fabric in the fill and warp directions while also providing the same degree of hand improvements as obtained with previous methods. Furthermore, this process also provides the unexpected improvement of non-pilling to synthetic fibers as the “nicking” of the immobilized fibers results in the lack of unraveling of fibers and thus the near impossibility of such fibers balling together to form unwanted pills on the fabric surface. Fabrics treated by this process are also contemplated within this invention.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises an oxidizable layer (e.g. tantalum 48), an oxygen gettering layer (e.g. platinum/tantalum mixture 34) overlaying the oxidizable layer, a noble metal layer (e.g. platinum 36) overlaying the oxygen gettering layer, and a high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. barium strontium titanate 38) overlaying the noble metal layer. The novel structures presented provide electrical connection to high-dielectric-constant materials without the disadvantages of current structures. The oxygen gettering layer controls oxygen diffusion, minimizing the formation of a resistive layer either in the lower electrode or at the lower electrode/substrate interface. The oxygen gettering layer acts as a gettering site for oxygen, where the oxygen oxidizes the reactive metal portion of the layer, leaving the noble metal portion of the layer intact. While the oxides/suboxides (e.g.

The outer diameter of the sheath member (41) is gradually reduced in a tapering shape from an outer diameter equal to that of the spline part (21A).

Abstract: An incremental swaging process securely affixes a sleeve, such as a metal ring, to the external surface of a cylindrically workpiece, such as a hollow configured metallic casing. Successive portions of the sleeve are incrementally swaged by a tooling element whose tooling surface dimension is less than the axial dimension of the sleeve. During relative rotation between the tooling element and the casing upon which the sleeve has been place, the tooling element is incrementally brought into and out of mechanical engagement with axially adjacent and overlapping surface regions of the sleeve. This incremental swaging technique results in very tightly swaging axially successive annular portions of the sleeve against axially successive, annular surface portions of the rotating casing, leaving the sleeve very securely affixed to the casing.

Abstract: A read sensor with self-aligned low resistance leads and a method of making are provided. In the method a masking step has been eliminated by employing first, second and third protective capping layers in the construction of the read sensor and first and second lead layers. The first capping layer serves as a protective layer for the read sensor sites, the second capping layer protects low resistance lead layer portions during removal of the first capping layer from high resistance lead layer sites and then serves as a sacrificial layer during removal of spin valve material from the low resistance lead layer sites. The third capping layer protects the first and second lead layers during milling of low resistance lead layer material in field regions about the read sensor and first and second lead layers. The method aligns front edges of the low resistance lead layer portions with a rear edge of the read sensor so as to lower the overall resistance of the lead layers.

Abstract: A dual GMR or dual spin valve sensor has a self-pinned layer which has its magnetic moment pinned perpendicular to an air bearing surface by sense current fields from conductive layers in the dual spin valve sensor when a sense current is conducted therethrough. This scheme eliminates one of the antiferromagnetic pinning layers which is typically employed in a dual GMR or dual spin valve sensor. The self-pinned layer is thin so that its demagnetization field will not be greater than the sense current fields acting thereon. Because of the thinning of the self-pinned layer the spin valve effect of the spin valve sensor is degraded by scattering of conduction electrons at the boundary of the self-pinned layer.

Abstract: Traversing yarn guiding rods in textile machines producing X-packages are often made of carbon fibers for the purpose of reducing the inertia force. These kinds of traversing yarn guiding rods are prone to wear at their bearing points. For this reason, the bearings, having a distance to one another which corresponds to at least twice, preferably three times the traversing stroke, are collectively replaced from time to time, in such a way that the yarn guide rod is supported at different places than before. The replacement bearings are applied staggered to the old bearing points in such a way that the new bearing points now have a distance to the exposed previous bearing points, which distance corresponds to at least one traverse stroke. This results in the replacement bearings acting with a non-worn part of the fiber guiding rod. The life of the yarn guiding rod is thus significantly increased.
