Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to detecting leaks in a fluid cooling system. One aspect of the present invention concerns an apparatus for detecting leaks in a fluid cooling system that includes a pressure exerting device for applying a pressure on a supply hose and a return hose of the cooling system, and a pressure gauge coupled to the pressure exerting device for detecting a drop of fluid pressure in the cooling system while the pressure is applied. The drop of fluid pressure indicates that there may be a leak in the cooling system.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing uniform axial load distribution for laminate layers of multilayer ceramic chip carriers includes a base plate configured to support a plurality of green sheet layers thereon, the base plate having at least one resiliently mounted load support bar disposed adjacent outer edges of the base plate. The load support bar is mounted on one or more biasing members such that the top surface of the support bar extends above the top surface of the base plate by a selected distance.

Abstract: A unitary, plastic, snap-on overcap for providing a tamper-evident capability to a closure assembly of a container includes a cap, a removable skirt, and a plurality of spaced-apart frangible elements which connect the removable skirt to the cap. The closure assembly includes an internally-threaded fitting which is anchored into the container and an externally-threaded closing plug which is installed into the fitting. The cap portion of the overcap includes a depending sidewall which terminates in a snap-on lip portion. The removable skirt includes a wall portion which is constructed and arranged to be positioned in close proximity to an upper surface of the container when the cap is snapped onto the closure assembly. The actual snap-on engagement of the cap to the closure assembly involves engagement by the lip portion with a cooperating edge of the closure assembly. In order to gain access to an edge of the cap in order to pry the cap off of the closure assembly, the skirt must be removed.

Abstract: A flexible pouring spout for material containers incorporating a tamper evident ring having a nested flexible spout capable of being selectively moved between a nested position and an extended position, a cap threadedly attached to the spout, a tamper-evident ring attached to the cap by a plurality of frangible elements, and a metal ring for attaching the closure to the container. The metal ring is secured over the peripheral flange of the spout and over the tamper-evident ring, preventing the closure from being removed or the spout from being extended without detection. A flexible bail handle is attached to the cap member to facilitate extending the spout member and removing the cap. For additional tamper evidence, an internal diaphragm is used to seal off the spout until the closure is opened and the diaphragm removed.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic substrate with an internal cavity extending from the top to the bottom surface of the substrate is produced using an insert material which fits within a cavity defined by aligned openings of individual ceramic sheets in a multilayer stack. The multilayer stack of ceramic sheets, together with the insert, is press-molded together with the insert serving as an internal mold that maintains the internal dimensions of the cavity. The insert is slightly larger in its top to bottom dimension than the multilayer stack and is driven into a compressible material underlying the multilayer stack during the pressing operation. The insert prevents the ceramic from flowing upwards into the center of the cavity during the pressing operation. In addition, the insert embeds electrically conductive pads located at various levels inside the cavity on individual ceramic sheets in the multilayer stack into the top surfaces of the ceramic sheets.
