Abstract: An apparatus for situating a toroidal inductor having an inductor inner dimension, such as a ferrite bead, onto a rod having a diametral dimension. The apparatus comprises a flexible tubular supporter that has a first end, a second end, a support inner dimension substantially equal to the diametral dimension and a support outer dimension. The supporter flexes when installing the inductor to establish the support outer dimension at less than the inductor inner dimension to allow the inductor to surround the supporter and rod situated intermediate the first and second end with the supporter flexed to establish the support outer dimension at greater than the inductor inner dimension intermediate the inductor and the first and second end. Alternatively, the supporter may be a molded or snap-on cover substantially enclosing the inductor with apertures for frictionally fitting over a rod to secure the inductor in place.

Abstract: An improved package for a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes an apparatus having at least two access leads to facilitate electrical connection of the apparatus within an electrical circuit. The package has generally a closed polyhedral shape presenting a plurality of faces and substantially insulatingly surrounding the apparatus in a manner leaving the access leads exposed for effecting electrical connection. The access leads extend a distance from exit loci from the package. The exit loci are situated on an exit face of the package, adjacent pairs of exit loci being generally in a common plane. An intraplanar distance within the common plane is established intermediate each adjacent pair of the exit loci. The improvement comprises configuring the exit face to establish an on-surface path greater than the intraplanar distance intermediate selected adjacent pairs of the exit loci.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the controlled polymerization of alpha-olefins selected from the group consisting of propylene and butylene in order to form a polymer containing by weight about 10% to 30% isotactic polyolefin, 25% to 70% atactic polyolefin and 0% to 65% by weight of an amorphous ethylene/olefin copolymer which process comprises combinations of the steps of:(a) homopolymerizing the alpha-olefin at a temperature of from about 0.degree. C. to about 90.degree. C. (preferably from about 20.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C.) in the presence of a high yield catalyst comprising a titanium compound supported on activated MgCl.sub.
