Abstract: A process for producing a contact-making device is provided for making electrical contact between components, which includes the step of producing an electrical zero-insertion-force connector which further includes the step of forming an elastic dielectric with at least two elastic dielectric layers and at least one structured metal layer disposed between the two elastic dielectric layers. The elastic dielectric has an upper side and an underside being the upper side and the underside, respectively, of the zero-insertion-force connector. The process also includes the step of structuring the elastic dielectric, forming a number of contact points on the upper side and the underside of the zero-insertion-force connector; and forming a number of electrically conducting connections in and through the elastic dielectric such that the electrically conducting connections connect a number of the contact points to one another.

Abstract: A description is given of a contact-making device which can be used in particular for making contacts between electrical components in electrical subassemblies and lead-frames, such as printed-circuit boards, multi-chip modules, flexible circuits or the like. To achieve dependable, inexpensive and very accurate contact-making between the components and the lead-frames, the contact-making device has an electrical zero-insertion-force connector having an elastic dielectric, a number of electrically conducting connections formed in the zero-insertion-force connector and a number of contact points disposed on an upper side and an underside of the electrical zero-insertion-force connector. The contact points being connected via the connections. The contact points advantageously protrude in each case beyond the planes of the upper side and the underside of the electrical zero-insertion-force connector. Furthermore, a process for producing such a contact-making device is described.

Abstract: Apparatus for developing a photographic emulsion carrier. The carrier travels through a succession of tanks of photographic processing fluid. The apparatus includes mechanisms that forward the carrier through the tanks, a drive device that operates the forwarding mechanisms, guides that guide the carrier from one tank into the next, and means that connect an inlet for each processing fluid with its associated tank. The apparatus also includes at least one separate assembly associated with at least one tank, for forming a cascade which includes means for conveying the processing fluid from at least one cascade stage to the tank. The assembly, for forming the cascade is a separate module that rests as a cover on the tanks and has a separate inlet for receiving processing fluid. The cascade assembly accommodates a mechanism that forwards the carrier through it. This mechanism couples with the mechanisms that forward the carrier through the tanks while the cascade assembly is resting on them.

Abstract: A method of making a connecting rod for an internal combustion engine having a one-piece crankshaft construction generally consisting of positioning a first crankpin bushing segment having a connecting rod shank consisting of a reinforced resinous material mounted thereon, on a crankpin of the crankshaft, positioning a second crankpin bushing segment on the crankpin, and applying a reinforcing material and a resinous material about a periphery of the connecting rod shank and the second crankpin bushing segment to form an integral unit consisting of the crankpin bushing segments embedded in the connecting rod shank, attached to the crankpin.

Abstract: A continuous or ring-shaped printing ribbon is constructed by overlapping the ends of a length of ribbon made of thermoplastic synthetic material and welding the overlapped ends together along a grid work of fine weld lines, thereby providing a weld joint comprising a punctiform arrangement of ink-bearing cells to effect an undisturbed emission of ink across the joint during a printing operation.
