Abstract: Angular sections form frames which can be fitted together in the frame plane in modular fashion. Legs of the sections are formed so that through two interconnected legs of adjacent frames notches of T-shaped cross-section result, into which hammer head-shaped ends of pull rods can be introduced. By means of the pull rods, ledges can be pressed against filter and/or light fixture housings, which in this manner are pressed against legs of the profiles on the opposite housing side, adjacent frames thus make it possible in a correspondingly compact model to attach filters and light fixtures without the distance between two adjacent filters or between a filter and a light fixture occupying a width that would impair the flow profile of the air issuing from the filters.

Abstract: A fixture including thermal sensing means is disclosed which fixture is especially adapted to be mounted in existing ceiling construction. The fixture includes a shroud having a cut-away portion enabling the fixture to be inserted in angularly oriented position relative to the ceiling and thereafter tilted into mounted position in the ceiling. The fixture includes spring clips insertable after the shroud is mounted into clamping engagement with the upper surface of the ceiling to securely connect the shroud to the ceiling.

Abstract: In known deep-hole drilling machines, the undesirable situation arises, in the case of large drilling depths, that the boring bar, which becomes increasingly softer with increasing drilling depth, sags and starts to vibrate, so that the boring bar must be supported. This should, however, be possible at suitable spacings in the simplest possible manner and without interrupting the working process. For this purpose, it is envisaged that at least one guide bush for supporting the boring bar in a workpiece bore is provided on the boring bar, the guide bush being associated in a coaxial arrangement with a clamping ring of a ringe thickness which makes self-jamming tilting on the boring bar possible, and which clamping ring is pivotally coupled at one peripheral point to the guide bush to permit a small radial movement and has an external diameter smaller than that of the guide bush, and that at least one disengageable stopping device for a guide bush is provided within the coolant feed device.

Abstract: Method of deep-rolling of crankshaft pins by applying different rolling forces over a rotational angle (phi) of 360.degree., such as to produce in each angular position a constant enlargement of the angle (alpha) subtended by the mirror faces i.e. the faces connected with the respective transition radii to provide, at least, in the angular region most subject to damage the desired fatigue strength increase.

Abstract: A method of terminating a multilayer ceramic capacitors and like electronic components is disclosed. In accordance with the method the capacitors are loaded into apertures formed in an elastomeric mask such that only the surface portions to be metalized are exposed. In advance of loading, the surfaces of the mask are pre-coated, preferably by a sputtering procedure, so as to preclude "out-gasing" of the mask material during sputtering.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated circuit device particularly of the type carrying multiple memory circuits or the like. The device incorporates a lead frame of the sort which includes an elongate metallic web and is characterized by the lead frame providing an integral seat or platform whereon is mounted a capacitor device which is connected or adapted to be connected in shunting relation of the power supply inputs to the integrated circuit device, whereby the capacitor provides a convenient mounting platform for the circuit bearing elements and also assures minimal lead lengths between the capacitor and the power supply inputs of the circuit bearing chip. Due to the shortness of such lead lengths and consequent reduction of the inductance reactance of the power supply circuit, efficient dampening of switching transients is achieved with the use of capacitors of much smaller values, in less area than heretofore required in external dampening applications.

Abstract: In order to produce a packing ring having a stiffening ring by a method which dispenses with the use of a complicated and expensive mold, an extrusion having the desired cross-section of the packing ring and having a cavity, extending in the extrusion direction, for the reception of the stiffening ring is firstly produced. The extruded material cut to length in accordance with the desired circumference of the packing ring is slipped onto a wire which is similarly cut to length and bent into a circle. The ends of the extruded material are pushed back while the ends of the wire are welded together, so that a closed stiffening ring is produced. Then the material ends are joined together and are bonded or vulcanized to one another.
