  • Patent number: 11400326
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ejector nozzle having a liquid-carrying duct and a gas-carrying duct. The gas-carrying duct opens into the liquid-carrying duct upstream of an outlet opening. The insert acting as a flame arrester is positioned in the gas-carrying duct. The insert is configured in such a way that no gas can flow around the insert. The invention furthermore relates to use of the ejector nozzle in a jet loop reactor.

  • Patent number: 10357961
    Abstract: A stencil for printing a pattern of deposits on a substrate, wherein the stencil comprises an electroformed metal sheet which has a first layer which includes an apertured region through which a printing medium is applied in a printing operation, and a second layer which overlies a substrate to be printed and includes a plurality of apertures, wherein the apertures of the second layer extend across and beyond the apertured region in the first layer, whereby the second layer includes a plurality of through apertures in registration with the apertured region of the first layer, each having a pattern corresponding to that to be printed on the substrate, and a plurality of blind apertures disposed adjacent and outwardly of the apertured region in the first layer.

  • Patent number: 10062223
    Abstract: An intermediary access device enables a user electronic device to communicate with a vehicle's onboard computer system. A first wireless transceiver of the intermediary access device is used to establish a secure wireless communication channel between the intermediary access device and a vehicle on-board computer system. A second wireless transceiver of the intermediary access device is used to establish a user-initiated communication channel between the intermediary access device and a user electronic device. User commands and vehicle information can then be transmitted between the vehicle on-board computer system and the user electronic device via the intermediary access device in a safe, secure and efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 9583366
    Abstract: A method of feeding underfill material to fill a space between a semiconductor die and a substrate onto which the semiconductor die has been bonded, the method comprises positioning a stencil over the semiconductor die. The stencil has an elongated slot extending adjacent to an edge of the semiconductor die. Underfill material is printed through the slot such that the underfill material falls through the slot onto the substrate next to the edge of the semiconductor die. Thereafter, the underfill material is heated such that the underfill material flows across the space between the semiconductor die and the substrate from the edge of the semiconductor die to an opposite edge thereof through capillary action.

  • Patent number: 6135445
    Abstract: The sheet-stacking apparatus stacks sheets arriving in a stream of successive sheets. A stop face configuration is pivotable, about a geometric pivot axis located at a predetermined level and oriented crosswise to the stream, between a working position wherein it stops the sheets and a position that is pivoted away from it. The system enables accurate, straight-edged stacks, both in the successive buildup of one stack and in the formation of a succeeding stack without interrupting the stream of sheets. In a first variant a carrier profile is provided, which is located above the pivot axis in the working position and past which, in the working position, stop face segments protrude downward in comblike fashion. In a second variant, a carrier profile with auxiliary stops protruding past it is disposed, adjustable in height, below the pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 5669755
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the non-stop operation of a delivery unit of a rotary printing machine in which sheets in a flow of sheets are collated into individual stacks supported on a stack base with a surface interrupted by grooves and in which auxiliary stacks are borne by grid rods together forming a rack until their transfer to the stack base, the grid rods penetrating into the grooves during transfer. To prevent the stacks from being hampered by their weight, according to the invention a receiving plate catching the auxiliary stack from below is laid upon the grid rods in their reception position.
