  • Patent number: 8640325
    Abstract: Electronic components each having a chip module with module contacts and an antenna having antenna contacts is made by securing a plurality of the chip modules the inner face of a module film strip having an outer periphery projecting past the chip module with the chip modules spaced from one another at a uniform predetermined module spacing. A plurality of the antennas are secured to an inner face of an elongated antenna strip with the antennas spaced from one another by a predetermined antenna spacing. The module strip is longitudinally subdivided into sections each of which is of a length equal to the predetermined module spacing and each of which carries a respective chip module. The module-strip sections are pressed against the antenna strip such that the module contacts of each of the chip modules engage and bear on the antenna contacts of a respective antenna.

  • Publication number: 20040267391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method which is used in the computer-supported design of a physical object, preferably for tolerance planning or for defining a clamping and securing concept, and which automatically determines effects of definitions for a first reference element on a first partial object of a physical object. In the inventive method, target objects for a first reference element on a first partial object of the physical object are automatically searched for. In this context, a target object is a partial object which occurs after the first partial object in the assembly sequence and holds and/or secures the first partial object in the first reference element. Refinements of the invention provide for various reference elements to be compared, or for further reference elements to be generated automatically.

  • Publication number: 20040236787
    Abstract: When a physical object with partial objects and design elements is designed, a plurality of design states are typically passed through. The invention relates to a method for automatically selecting further partial objects of a physical object whose designs are affected by differences between two design states of a first partial object of the physical object. In this context, the differences between the design states for a design element are determined. Then, the reference partial objects for the first design element are determined in the first and second design states and the differences between these two sets of reference partial objects are determined. The method is preferably applied for tolerance planning and/or for defining the clamping and securing concept, for example for the body of a motor vehicle and for the devices for designing the body.

  • Patent number: 6237217
    Abstract: For removing defective transponder units or electronic transponder equipment a web (6)is parted in a station (23) firstly in front and then at the rear of the individual unit. Thereafter the picked out unit is conveyed off transverse to a working plane (3)and the two resulting web ends are transferred into a directly juxtaposed station (24). There the web ends are fixedly interconnected by welding, glueing or the like. Therefrom a use web arises, which includes only non-defective units since the defective units were previously detected by a sensor (32)and then severed out as described with the aid of a control device (50). This fully automatically working apparatus (1)coils the processed use tape in a store (26)into a roll (40)which is suitable for further processing in a machine.

  • Patent number: 6042530
    Abstract: A tool (8) of a folding device (1) for edge tabs (5) of a material web (2) comprises a conveyance path (19) having a folding surface area (13) for said edge tabs (5) and a further, separate conveyance path (18) for wider edge tabs (4) intended not to be folded at said folding surface area (13). The tool (8) distinguishes the edge tabs (4, 5) by their width and steers the wider edge tabs (4) downwards out of the way prior to attaining the processing conveyance path (19).

  • Patent number: 5960607
    Abstract: From a web of paper a mailing item (10) comprising envelope and contents is printed personalized on a first conveying section (2) in individual stations. After being turned over the web of paper is supplemented, where necessary, by further paper parts, it then being cut to contour laterally and provided with side flaps folded inwards for the envelope. After this, the cut-to-size item is parted as a unit from the web of paper by a cross-cutter (43) and the contents folded on themselves transversely as well as on the cut-to-size item for the envelope. This unit is then diverted at right angles to a second conveying section (3) in which the cover sheets of the envelope are folded open with interposition of the contents, the cover sheets thereby being secured to each other by the side flaps. After this, the envelope opening is closed by the closing flap.

  • Patent number: 5957826
    Abstract: In a transverse grooving tool the groove webs are continuously adjustable with respect to the body in the running direction and can be fixed in any set position and for this purpose sliding guides and clamping means are provided. Adjacent to at least one adjustable working member can also be provided a non-adjustable working member, e.g. a further grooving tool and/or a balancing weight. As the working members are also interchangeable, there are numerous possibilities for reequipping the tool.
