Abstract: A stackable and nestable crate apparatus particularly adapted for the transport and storage of easily breakable products, such as potato chips, or the like, includes an open topped container body of unitary molded plastic construction. A lid extends across the open top of the container body and is mountable thereon at various selected elevations to vertically support an overlying, stacked crate apparatus at a level suitable for the size of the product housed within the supporting crate apparatus. The front and rear walls of the container body are appropriately recessed to permit relative sliding movement between adjacent, stacked crates. The peripheral dimensions of the lid are correlated with respect to those of the interior of the container body to enable ready access to the product within a crate apparatus when slidably extended from the stack and to permit the lid, when rotated, to be readily received within the container body in order to accommodate nesting of empty crates.

Abstract: A method is described for the preparation of an isocyanatoorganosilane by an elevated temperature thermally induced decomposition of a carbamatoorganosilane in the gas phase preferably under ambient or reduced pressure.

Abstract: A boosting circuit generates an internal high voltage of a level higher than that of an internal voltage which is used in a semiconductor memory device. The boosting circuit has an output end connected to a capacitor having a large capacitance, and this capacitor is charged to an internal high voltage. The output end of the boosting circuit is connected to a drain of an N-channel transistor. This transistor has a gate which is supplied with a voltage V.sub.G higher than the internal voltage by a difference equivalent to a threshold voltage of the transistor. The internal voltage is outputted from a source of the transistor. When a skew occurs and the internal voltage is lowered while an address signal is changed, the internal high voltage charged in the capacitor is discharged through the transistor and the internal voltage is thus stabilized.

Abstract: Field oxide films are formed on a semiconductor substrate of first conductivity type to be spaced from each other in the stripe shape. Gate insulating films are formed on the semiconductor substrate between the field oxide films. Word lines or control gate electrodes are formed on the field oxide films and the gate insulating films to be spaced from each other in the stripe shape along a direction perpendicular to the field oxide films. Grooves are formed in the gate insulating films and the field oxide films in regions sandwiched by the word lines. Source regions of second conductivity type are formed in the semiconductor substrate in the grooves formed in the gate insulating films. A common source wiring region of second conductivity type for electrically connecting the respective source regions is formed in the semiconductor substrate in the grooves formed in the field oxide films.

Abstract: In an operational amplifier circuit, noise is lowered by using junction FETs as an input transistor pair, and an input operating point and an output operating point can be set at different potentials by connecting a capacitor between an output terminal and an inverting input terminal. For this reason, the operational amplifier circuit can be properly biased and can be operated at a low power supply voltage. In addition, since transistors other than transistors used as constant current sources are constituted by bipolar transistors, the operational amplifier circuit can have wideband frequency characteristics.

Abstract: A closed loop fastening system for running and other shoes. The fastening system includes a harness, a strap, guides and a tension lock buckle. The harness includes strap portions which can tightly retain a user's foot inside the shoe. The guides are attached to the harness for guiding the strap. One end of the strap is attached to the harness and the other end of the strap is attached to the buckle. An effective length of the strap can be defined such that a shorter effective length yields a tighter harness and a fighter fit, and a longer effective length yields a looser harness and a looser fit. The tension lock buckle used in the closed loop fastening system is adaptable for use with numerous other products having a strap. The tension lock buckle includes a body, a pivotal locking member and a sliding bar. The sliding bar is mounted within the body for longitudinal movement therein. The pivotal locking member is pivotally attached to the body for relative pivotal motion.

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device is provided in which a negative voltage is applied to a gate electrode of a memory cell transistor during an erase mode. The memory device includes a row decoder circuit having an N-channel transistor connected to a word line. The N-channel transistor is provided on a P-type well region of a semiconductor substrate. A negative voltage is applied to the P-type well region during the erase mode, while ground potential is applied thereto during another modes.

Abstract: A coated panel formed from a self-supporting cellulosic substrate and a top coating containing a thermoset resin having about 0.1-1.5 wt % free formaldehyde admixed with said resin; and (b) a thermoplastic polymer thoroughly admixed with said resin, wherein said thermoplastic polymer exhibits amine groups capable of reacting with at least some of the free formaldehyde under resin curing conditions. The coated panel can be embossed with decorative patterns such as wood grain without fracture of the coated surface or significant buildup on the press or embossing die surfaces.

Abstract: This invention is concerned with roofing structures utilizing a structural member formed from sheet metal to hollow triangular cross-section with a longitudinally extending outwardly opening narrow mouthed channel forming a peak along the member. The opposite end of the member will have outwardly projecting flanges around which may be engaged bent edges to a base plate. The channel is adapted to enable cladding sheets to have their edges engaged therein and thus provide a drip free roof.

Abstract: A cabinet housing CPR masks and non-sterile hypoallergenic latex gloves is mounted on a wall in a visible location. A plastic tie seal maintains the cabinet door closed. In the event of a CPR emergency, the seal is pulled, twisted and thereby broken, the door opened and the mask and gloves removed. When the door is opened, a lever switch on the cabinet automatically activates a loud piezo buzzer mounted on top of the cabinet, thereby alerting others to the emergency. The buzzer can be deenergized with a key-activated switch.

Abstract: A binder composition for fibrous mats, preferably inorganic fibrous mats, which is fire resistant when cured is provided. The binder composition comprises a stable mixture of an aqueous aldehyde condensation polymer-based resin, a fire retardant latex and, optionally, an effective amount of an aqueous silica colloid, wherein the weight ratio of the latex to the resin is at least 1:1 on a non-volatile weight basis. The effective amount of the silica colloid is an amount sufficient to enhance the flame resistant property of the binder composition after curing and yet remain compatible with the components of the binder composition prior to curing.
