Abstract: A process for electrically connecting contact surfaces of electronic components by capillary wedge bonding a round wire of 8 to 80 ?m to the contact surface of a first electronic component, forming a wire loop, and stitch bonding the wire to the contact surface of a second electronic component, wherein the wire comprises a wire core having a silver or silver-based wire core with a double-layered coating comprised of a 1 to 50 nm thick inner layer of nickel or palladium and an adjacent 5 to 200 nm thick outer layer of gold.

Abstract: A channel memory device adopted for a television or video cassette recorder and the method therefor, can increase alternatives for channels, cope with the change of broadcasting station names and allow a quick and simple channel selection. The channel memory device includes a tuner for demodulating the broadcasting signal received via antennae, an IF unit for detecting the output signal of tuner, a decoder for decoding the broadcasting data output from IF unit, E.sup.2 PROM for storing channel data, a luminance and color signal processor for processing the output signals of IF unit and decoder, a microcomputer for controlling the channel selection and channel memory with respect to decoding and tuning the broadcasting data, and a display for displaying the broadcasting data.

Abstract: A circuit for displaying on the screen a mode frequency and screen control states of a monitor by using OSD letters is disclosed. The circuit delays the R, G, B signals of the OSD IC for a predetermined time until the output signals from the pre-amplifier are completely blanked according to a blanking signal of the OSD IC, to prevent the data received from the video card from being displayed on the screen during displaying the OSD letters on the screen, connects a mixer at a post-stage of the pre-amplifier, and further applies the horizontal flyback signal derived from the horizontal retrace pulse of the monitor to the pre-amplifier so as to allow the OSD signal level of the OSD IC to have the same level as the video signal level of the pre-amplifier, thereby preventing the degradation of the input characteristics and the undesirable change of the colors.

Abstract: A support unit for home appliance including a supporting body inclusive of a rib, a fixing neck inclusive of a fixing hole and an inserting protrusion inclusive of orifice. Differences of thickness for the supporting body and a curved face cause the support unit to control vertically, the fixing hole supplies elasticity in case that the home appliance is a heavy weight. The orifice also supplies elasticity in case of inserting into a connecting space of a base plate.

Abstract: A method of plating a ductile Ni-Sb alloy on a substrate from a solution containing a Ni salt and a mixed alkali metal-antimony salt comprises pulse plating wherein the off-time is much longer than the on-time.
