Abstract: A packaged semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor sub strate having formed thereon: radio-frequency (RF) input and output contact pads, DC contact pads, and first and second amplifier stages. An input of the first amplifier stage is coupled with the RF input contact pad. An input and an output of the second amplifier stage are respectively coupled to an output of the first amplifier stage and the RF output contact pad. The DC contact pads and the input of the first amplifier stages are connected via an input bias coupling path. The outputs of the amplifier stages are connected via an output bias coupling path. The chip further includes a lead frame having RF input and output pins electrically coupled to the RF input and output contact pads, and input bias pins electrically coupled to the DC contact pad.

Abstract: Provided is an improvement to the slide fastener constructing machine. The improvement provides a tooth-notching unit for forming a notch on each tooth on the stringer produced by a stringer producing unit which is a conventional unit and subsequently collected by a stringer collecting unit which is also a conventional unit. The tooth-notching unit includes a base having a passage allowing the stringer of teeth to pass therethrough and a grinding wheel or a circular disk cutter as cutting means provided on top of the passage for cutting a notch on top of each tooth on the stringer. To clear away rubbish produced by the notching process, various devices are provided including brushes and vacuum cleaners. The tooth-notching unit allows the slide fastener constructing machine to produce stringers of teeth that can be stitched securely to clothing. Its construction also allows easy maintenance.

Abstract: An airplane with an enlarged safety door in the lower middle part of the fuselage which can be opened during mid-flight emergencies so as to let emergency exit stairs be hydraulically lowered down therefrom. The stairs have a hydraulically operated slideway on the lower end thereof. Chair assemblies which are slidable on rails and which are normally retained by a flip-up board. The chair assemblies can be moved either manually or by means of a motor driven draw cord. A user propelled water safety device comprising an inflatable chest support, two handlebars two inflatable paddlewheels and two floatation devices. A bouyant, collapsible carry-all which can be used to carry survival and safety items upon exit of the plane and which has holes in the bottom thereof for easy draining. An air-flow system comprising an air exhaust shield, a plurality of fans, air vents distributed at even intervals along the ceiling of the plane.
