  • Patent number: 6625065
    Abstract: A method for masking DQ bits that are input into a semiconductor memory by a memory controller is described. In this case, the bits to be masked are provided with an increased level and therefore cannot be read into the semiconductor memory due to the increased voltage level which functions as a deactivating voltage level.

  • Patent number: 6614100
    Abstract: The lead frame has a spring element, which can be compressed during the injection molding of the package by an injection mold. The resultant resilience has the effect that a contact surface of the lead is pressed against an inside wall of the injection mold. The biasing of the contact surface against the inside wall prevents polymer flash from forming on the contact surface. Also, the spring element fixes the lead during the injection operation and anchors the lead in the completed package. Hold-down pins within the injection mold are thus obviated.

  • Patent number: 6613446
    Abstract: A conical honeycomb body and method for producing the honeycomb body that avoids the deformations occurring when fixing a conical lamellar body in a conical casing tube is described. Clamping aids are disposed in the casing tube at a distance from its openings and are configured such that at least in sections they have a ring shape. The clamping aids allow for the economical production of conical honeycomb bodies having greater mechanical strength. Their variants make it possible to influence the function of the edge area of the conical honeycomb body in a targeted manner. Especially beading, necking and/or rings achieve, for example, a barrier effect so that no fluids are able to circulate in the channels situated in the edge area of the casing tube. The openings of the casing tube are free of inserted elements and can therefore be easily welded to other components of the exhaust-gas system.

  • Patent number: 6612694
    Abstract: An eyeglass device has a primary frame with temples and an auxiliary frame with first and second lens pairs, respectively. Rearwardly extending temples are attached to each end of a primary frame. An inside surface of the temples have a housing with walls defining a socket to receive a magnetic member. The auxiliary frame has rearwardly extending arms at each end, each having magnetic members. When the auxiliary frame and the primary frame are attached to form the eyeglass device, the auxiliary frame arms project over and are supported at least by the front portion of the primary frame to allow the magnetic members of the arms to engage the respective magnetic members of the temples side by side to stably support the frames together. The first lens pair can be eyeglass lenses, and the second lens pair can be sunglass lenses.

  • Patent number: 6597585
    Abstract: A power semiconductor module includes a plastic housing, a plurality of connection elements for external main connections and control connections, and at least one ceramic substrate which is provided at least on its top side with a structured metalization. The at least one ceramic substrate is fitted with semiconductor components and is inserted into a bottom opening of the plastic housing. The connection elements for the external main connections and control connections are connected by detaching a part of the structured metalization from the at least one ceramic substrate and bending it vertically upward to form a grip tab so that the grip tab can be connected to a connection element through the use of a brazed joint or a welded joint. These measures ensure an excellent stability with regard to fluctuating thermal loads.

  • Patent number: 4313246
    Abstract: Belt-lock and plug-in tongue for a safety belt having a locking mechanism with two locking latches for locking the tongue, tensioned against each other by a spring, and with one locking latch disposed on each side of the plug-in tongue. A hand-actuated member is movable against disengaging means of the locking mechanism to simultaneously move the two locking latches out of engagement with the tongue to permit removal of the tongue from the lock-housing. This assures symmetrical absorption by the belt lock through the latches of forces introduced by the belt system, and also equal distribution of the pulling forces to both locking latches so that the effective forces at each locking latch are halved.
