Abstract: A cable connector assembly includes lower and upper hood parts which are mated together to form a passageway therethrough in which a connector and a cable retaining assembly are mounted. The cable retaining includes a cable retaining body and a cable retainer attached thereto. The cable retaining body provides two exits and the cable retaining body can be positioned within the hood parts in a number of different orientations to change the exit path. Multiple cable retaining bodies and cable retainers can be interchangeably mounted within the hood parts.

Abstract: In the manufacture of a semiconductor component, connection areas adapted to connect the component externally are formed by a metal array (3, 4) deposited on a conductive layer (6) of low melting point alloy, itself deposited on a metal temporary substrate (7). Each component chip (1) is placed in position and connected and then immobilized by means of a hardenable resin (5). The temporary substrate (7) is then removed by melting the alloy layer (6) to expose the surfaces of the connection areas (3, 4) for making external electrical and/or thermal connections to the encapsulated component.

Abstract: A diaphragm assembly for servo motors has been provided wherein a pair of backing elements have opposed portions acting on opposite sides of a diaphragm assembly and are held in fixed relationship to each other through the means of a sonic weld located at a point remote from the diaphragm to provide a leak-proof diaphragm assembly which lends itself to ready modification to accept valves or diaphragms to change the operating characteristics for different applications.
