Abstract: A stator assembly for a progressing cavity pump is provided. The stator assembly includes a number of stator laminates having a planar body defining a primary, inner passage and a number of outer passages, the outer passages disposed effectively adjacent the inner passage whereby the inner passage is at least partially defined by a band, wherein the band is outwardly flexible. The stator laminates are coupled to each other in a stack wherein the stator laminate body inner passages define a helical passage. The helical passage is a flexible helical passage.

Abstract: A method of producing a semiconductor module arrangement includes providing a first subassembly having a number N1 of first adjustment openings, a second subassembly having a number N2 of second adjustment openings and a third subassembly having a plurality of adjustment pins which are fixedly connected to one another, the first subassembly, the second subassembly and the third subassembly being independent of one another and not connected to one another. The first subassembly, the second subassembly and the third subassembly are arranged relative to one another in such a way that each of the adjustment pins engages into one of the first adjustment openings and/or into one of the second adjustment openings.

Abstract: A vertical internal coating machine is taught, which may be used with bodies such as cans (2 piece, 3 piece, draw, redraw) and including cylinders, containers and any similar body. In the machine cans or similar bodies are vertical in the machine's star wheel rather than horizontal, and the bodies are sprayed with the star wheel in continuous motion without stopping and starting. The machine teaches that a plurality of spray guns may be provided for each pocket of the star wheel. By means of the machine an improved line layout is devised which may eliminate the need to raise the bodies immediately prior to a necker by allowing the vertical can internal coating machine and internal bake over to be disposed on any level of the facility, upper, lower, mezzanine, etc.

Abstract: A semiconductor module arrangement is provided having a first subassembly, a second subassembly and a third subassembly. The third subassembly has a quantity of adjustment pins which are fixedly connected to one another. The first subassembly has a number N1 of first adjustment openings, and the second subassembly has a number N2 of second adjustment openings. Each of the adjustment pins engages into a different one of the first adjustment openings and/or into one of the second adjustment openings. A corresponding method of producing the semiconductor module arrangement is also provided.

Abstract: A stator assembly for a progressing cavity pump is provided. The stator assembly includes a number of stator laminates having a planar body defining a primary, inner passage and a number of outer passages, the outer passages disposed effectively adjacent the inner passage whereby the inner passage is at least partially defined by a band, wherein the band is outwardly flexible. The stator laminates are coupled to each other in a stack wherein the stator laminate body inner passages define a helical passage. The helical passage is a flexible helical passage.

Abstract: A sole assembly for an article of footwear has a first portion having a lower ground engaging surface, an upper surface, and a recess formed in the upper surface. A second portion is seated in the recess in the first portion and has an upper surface. The second portion is formed from a first foam material prepared by a reaction product of a composition having about 10 to about 100 phr of a hydrogenated copolymer and about 10 to about 90 phr of a copolymer of ethlylene and an alpha olefin, the alpha olefin having up to 20 carbon atoms. The first foam material has a hardness of 25 to 45 Asker C and a density of less than 0.18 g/cm3.

Abstract: A hand-tool is provided for installing and removing a tyre, comprising a substantially elongated body member having a longitudinal axis, the body member further comprising a handle portion (102); a first engagement portion (108), arranged at a first end of said handle portion, adapted to operably engage with a first flange of opposed first and second rim flanges of a wheel, so as to form a fulcrum on the contact point with the first flange; a second engagement portion (112), spaced apart at a predetermined distance in a direction away from said first engagement portion along said longitudinal axis, adapted to abutingly engage with a rim-overlapping bead portion of a tyre.

Abstract: A method for soldering a circuit carrier to a carrier plate includes providing a carrier plate having an upper side and a first adjusting device, providing a circuit carrier having an underside and a second adjusting device, providing a solder and placing the circuit carrier onto the carrier plate in such a way that: the underside of the circuit carrier faces the upper side of the carrier plate; the solder is arranged between the carrier plate and the circuit carrier; and the first adjusting device forms a stop for the second adjusting device that limits a displacement of the circuit carrier placed on the carrier plate along the upper side of the carrier plate. After placing the circuit carrier onto the carrier plate, the solder is melted and subsequently cooled down until it solidifies and connects the circuit carrier to the carrier plate in a material-bonding manner at a lower metallization layer.

Abstract: A transfer ring of the type having a plurality of shoes arranged in a substantially circular configuration to define an inwardly-facing segmented cylindrical gripping surface, and a shoe for use in such a transfer ring, are disclosed. Each shoe comprises an arcuate interior surface defining a segment of the cylindrical gripping surface. The interior surface of each shoe has a first arcuate edge and an opposite second arcuate edge arranged substantially parallel to one another, and opposite first and second end edges extending between respective ends of said first and second arcuate edges. Each first end edge of each arcuate surface is mounted adjacent the second end edge of an adjacent arcuate surface, and the first end edge of at least one of the arcuate surfaces defines a varied or irregular shape along its arcuate surface.
