Abstract: A latch for releasably sealing a box, the latch comprising a first part and a second part arranged to be attached to respective opposing flaps of a box lid, the first and second parts comprising respective first and second attachment elements arranged to releasably engage one another thereby to seal the box, wherein the latch is elongate and the attachment elements have a substantially uniform cross-section along their length.

Abstract: A low profile clamp for an embroidery machine uses resilient arms that function as a leaf spring to transmit compressive closing forces to secure articles to be embroidered between clamping windows. A roller is moved in an arcuate path to apply bending stresses to clamp arms. The low profile of the clamp allows it to pass between the presser feet and throat plate protecting the presser feet and needles from serious damage if the panagraph moves the body of the clamp in the space between presser feet and throat plate during machine initialization or at any other time.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a corrected photo mask using an optical proximity effect correction method, the method comprising of the steps of: producing a test mask that provides a mask pattern for extracting a plurality of function models of a plurality of processes for the optical proximity effect correction method; transferring the mask pattern to a wafer by executing the plurality of processes, wherein each one of the plurality of processes forms a resulting pattern on the wafer; measuring the dimensions of the resulting pattern on the wafer after each one of the plurality of processes is executed; obtaining a function model for each one of the plurality of processes executed in which the dimensions of a simulated resulting pattern match the dimensions of the resulting pattern on the wafer after each one of the plurality of processes is executed; providing a photo mask design pattern; obtaining a mask pattern of which a simulated transferred pattern matches the photo mask design pattern by applying the fun

Abstract: A method for forming an extrusion coated paperboard including the steps of providing an uncoated paperboard, providing at least one extrusion device and at least one moisture application device on a single extrusion process line, extruding a material onto a first side of the paperboard with the extrusion device and applying a moisture composition onto a second side of the paperboard, opposite of the first side, with the moisture application device such that an equilibrium moisture content of the extrusion coated paperboard is about 6 to about 15 percent based on total extrusion coated paperboard weight.

Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating a semiconductor device with reduced line bending is provided. The method can include forming a first layer and depositing a photoresist layer on the first layer. The photoresist layer can be patterned, such that the patterning comprises at least one support feature disposed adjacent to an outside of a corner feature.

Abstract: A hand held communications device is provided. The device includes: a circuit board including electronic components; display coupled to the circuit board; a housing substantially surrounding the circuit board and electronic components, wherein the housing includes a base element covering a bottom side of the circuit board and electronic components and a housing element attached to the base element covering a top side of the circuit board and electronic components, wherein the housing element includes a display aperture with the display partially projecting therethrough; and a cover removably connected to the housing by a connection, wherein the cover and the base element substantially enclose the housing element therebetween.

Abstract: A corrugated structure having a first flat layer, a first corrugated layer secured to the first flat layer, a second flat layer having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is secured to the first corrugated layer on a side opposite of the first flat layer, a coating layer secured to the second side of the second flat layer, wherein the coating layer has a melting temperature of at least about 450 degrees Fahrenheit and chloroform-soluble extractives of at most about 0.5 milligrams per square inch.

Abstract: A rear cover of a radio handset having a scooped recess for improving the ergonomics of the phone for single-handed operation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing shaped components for absorbent articles from web materials including the following steps. A first web of material is provided in a machine direction. The first web is cut into at least two shaped strips having alternating nested projecting portions defined by at least one shaping cut having a pattern extending in the machine direction and alternately extending in the cross machine direction to alternate distal points located between longitudinal side edges of the first web. At least a first and a second of the shaped strips are separated. A second web of material is provided in the machine direction. At least the first shaped strip is joined to the second web. The second web is repositioned in the cross machine direction a predetermined distance. At least the second shaped strip is joined to the second web. The resultant composite web is cut into separate shaped components.
