Abstract: A new type of tape and reel tape based on the cover tape having projections extending from the bottom surface of the cover tape leaving a minimum of adhesive surface exposed to the surface mount die or packages contained in the pocket areas of the carrier tape.

Abstract: A power transmission belt having a load carrier cord embedded therein, with the cord comprising a plurality of yarns and possessing a first twist corresponding to a first twist multiplier and a first twist direction, and possessing a second twist corresponding to a second twist multiplier in a direction opposite said first twist direction, and characterized in that the ratio of the first twist multiplier to the second twist multiplier is greater than about 1.5, and at least one yarn comprises fibers of polyketone or polyvinylalcohol.

Abstract: A power transmission belt comprising a body comprising an elastomeric material and having tensile members running in a longitudinal direction, the body having a pulley engaging region having a profile; the pulley-engaging region comprising a fibrous nonwoven fabric material; characterized in that the fibers of the nonwoven material comprise acrylic fibers. The acrylic fibers are preferably micro-fibers of less than about 1.5 dpf and having an average diameter of 13.5 microns or less and an average length of about 1 to about 10 mm. The nonwoven material may be commingled with the elastomeric material in the pulley engaging region. Up to about 75% by weight of the fibers of the nonwoven material may comprise non-acrylic fibers such as other synthetic fibers, natural fibers, or cellulosic fibers.

Abstract: An endless power transmission belt having a load carrier cord formed from a plurality of strands, wherein the strands include fibers of para-aramid and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); and a method for increasing the flexural fatigue resistance and durability of an endless belt, including the step of selecting for the belt's load carrier cord a yarn comprising a fiber of para-aramid and PVP. The belt may be of cast polyurethane.

Abstract: A power transmission belt having a load carrier cord embedded therein, said cord comprising a plurality of yarns and possessing a first twist corresponding to a first twist multiplier and a first twist direction, and possessing a second twist corresponding to a second twist multiplier in a direction opposite said first twist direction, and characterized in that the ratio of said first twist multiplier to said second twist multiplier is greater than about 1.5. The belt may be a multi-v-ribbed belt comprising a belt body portion, a sheave contact portion and a load carrying cord embedded in said belt body portion, said load carrying cord comprising a plurality of twisted yarns, and having a first (yarn) twist corresponding to a first twist multiplier and a second (cord) twist in a direction opposite said first twist and corresponding to a second twist multiplier; wherein said first twist multiplier is greater than said second twist multiplier as indicated by a ratio of at least 1.5:1.
