Abstract: A paint delivery system (10) for delivering paint to a spraying device (34). The paint delivery system (10) includes a launch station (42) connected by a flow line (52) to an arrival station (44) and one or more shuttles. Paint and the one or more shuttles are transmitted from the launch station (42) to the arrival station (44) and the paint is delivered from the arrival station (44) to the spraying device (34). After the paint is delivered to the spraying device (34), the one or more shuttles are returned to the launch station (42) through the flow line (52). In one or more embodiments, the paint transmitted from the launch station (42) is followed or preceded by a predetermined amount of solvent disposed between two shuttles.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor package characterized by having at least one cavity defined in a substrate and at least one buffer pad disposed in the at least one cavity. The semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip disposed on the substrate, at least one conductive trace connecting with the buffer pad and at least one bonding wire electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the buffer pad. The buffer pad has a thickness larger than the thickness of the conductive trace.

Abstract: An alloy composition used in the manufacture of extension cables, comprises by weight 25.00% to 35.00% of nickel, 0.10% to 1.00% of manganese, 0.10% to 1.75% of cobalt, less than 0.25% of iron, and the balance being of copper. A thermoelement, of a thermocouple extension cable, manufactured from this composition exhibits a resistivity of approximately 240 ohms per circular mil foot. Hence, the loop resistivity of the cable, where the other thermoelement is made from copper, is generally less than 310 ohms per circular mil foot and the calibration accuracy of the cable from 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. is within .+-.2.5.degree. C.
