Abstract: A method for processing a sheet for bookbinding includes operations. A cut is formed that divides a thickness of the sheet in a binding-side side surface of the sheet. A portion of a connection piece that is attached to the sheet is inserted into the cut as an inserted portion, and functions as a hinge in a book-bound state. The portion of the connection piece inserted into the cut is joined to the sheet.

Abstract: An improved displacement control valve incorporated in a variable displacement compressor. The control valve includes a valve body and a solenoid for actuating the valve body. The coil of the solenoid is wound about a bobbin made of insulating synthetic resin. A base plate integrally protrudes from the bobbin. A pair of conducting plates are secured to the base plate. Each plate has a clamping block. The coil has a pair of terminal wires. Each terminal wire is secured to and electrically corrected to one of the clamping blocks. Each terminal wire is wound about a holder formed in each plate between the bobbin and the corresponding clamping block. A diode is secured to the holders and is connected in parallel with the coil. A pair of terminals of the diode are secured to the corresponding holders by soldering and crimping. The holders prevent tension in the terminal wires from being applied to electrical joints formed between the wires and the clamping blocks, which makes the valve more reliable.

Abstract: A hollow guide rail 10 defining a pneumatic cylinder tube which is made up of multiple tubular members 16 connected in end to end fashion. Each tubular member 16 has a reinforcing rib 17 extending between its opposite ends, a rib-less part 24 formed on the tubular member 16 near each of its longitudinal ends by cutting away a part of the reinforcing rib 17, and a coupling rib 25 defined by the portion of the reinforcing rib 17 which remains between each rib-less portion 24 and the nearest longitudinal end of the tubular member 16 after the portions of the reinforcing rib 17 have been cut away. The tubular members 16 are connected to each other by fastening the coupling ribs 25 of adjacent tubular members 16 together with connecting plates 33 fitted over the coupling ribs and nuts and bolts 34.

Abstract: In a gas pressure controlled processing chamber, a semiconductor package is enclosed by a heater and is heated extensively (or in a full-face way) up to a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than a fusing point of pre-solder bumps applied on bonding portions of a substrate and a cap of the semiconductor package in a state in which the bonding portions are separated from each other. After the predetermined temperature has been reached, the bonding portions are brought into abutment. In the abutting state of the bonding portions, a gas pressure in the processing chamber is controlled and the semiconductor package is cooled. The control of the gas pressure in the processing chamber is made by successively measuring a temperature of the semiconductor package and determining a control target value of the gas pressure in accordance with the measured temperature value. By this gas pressure control, a solder fillet profile is corrected.

These metallized portions are formed so that the height thereof on the outer side surfaces of the cover is larger than that on the inner side surfaces thereof. The metallized portions on the outer side surfaces are formed so that the height thereof at the corner portions of the cover is larger than that at the intermediate portions of the four sides thereof, and the metallized portions on the inner side surfaces are formed so that the height thereof at the intermediate portions of the four sides of the cover is larger than that at the corner portions thereof.
