Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes: providing a die carrier; disposing a semiconductor die on a main face of the die carrier, the semiconductor die having one or more contact pads; applying an encapsulant at least partially to the semiconductor die and at least a portion of the main face of the die carrier; applying an insulation layer to the encapsulant; and fabricating electrical interconnects by forming openings into the encapsulant and the insulation layer and filling a conductive material into the openings. Additional methods for fabricating a semiconductor device are described.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a razor comprising a handle, a razor blade unit having one or more razor blades which can be connected to the front end of the handle, and a connecting device for connecting the razor blade unit to the handle, such that the shaving results are improved for normal shaves as well as for specific applications like medical pre-operation shave. The razor blade unit of the present invention is mounted such that it can swivel relative to the handle about a swivel axis which intersects the cutting edge of the razor blade.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to improve the shave performance of a razor of the above mentioned type by providing a pressure sensitive razor design. In addition the handling is improved. A solution for the above mentioned object is characterized in that the resilient connection is shaped in an arcuate line between the handle and the blade unit and the blade unit can be fixed to the connection such that at least one blade is positioned in a plain that is approximately rectangular to a tangent line of the arcuate line of the connection at an end portion where the blade unit can be fixed.

Abstract: In order to provide a razor head for arrangement at the front end of a handle, which, with a simple construction and easy assembly suitable for mass production and low manufacturing cost, improves the results of shaving and also can be used at body locations which are difficult to access for cosmetic and medical purposes, a razor head (1) for arrangement at the front end of a handle (2) is proposed, with a housing (3) in which are inserted at least two razor blades (8, 10) at an angle to each other and with essentially parallel cutting edges pointing away from each other, which together with adjacent housing parts define at least one contact plane, to which the respective razor blades are arranged at an essentially optimum cutting angle.

Abstract: In order to develop a wet razor consisting of a handle, a razor head which can be connected to the front end of the handle, in particular a razor blade unit with at least one razor blade, and a connecting device for connection of the razor head to the handle, to the effect that the results of shaving are improved and the razor can also be used for medical purposes for preoperative shaving, it is proposed that the razor head is mounted so as to be pivotable relative to the handle about a pivot axis located essentially perpendicular to a cutting edge of the razor blade and essentially in the plane of the razor blade.

Abstract: To improve the method for fixing protective strands to a razor head, the razor head is provided with a plastic body having an upper side that defines a surface for engaging the skin of the user, with the plastic body also having a front side and a back side. A razor blade unit is disposed in the plastic body. A series of strands are spaced along the length of the blade unit and are fixedly attached directly to said blade unit.

Abstract: Steel which is particularly useful for making a razor blade of high corrosion resistance contains more than 0.45%, but less than 0.55%, of carbon, 0.4 to 1.0% of silicon, 0.5 to 1.0% of manganese, 12 to 14% of chromium and 1.0 to 1.6% of molybdenum, all by weight, in addition to iron and inevitable impurities, and has a carbide density of 100 to 150 particles per 100 square microns as annealed. The razor blade has a Vickers hardness of at least 620 and a carbide density of 10 to 45 particles per 100 square microns, and preferably has a specific distribution of residual austenite content. The improved properties of the razor blade are achieved by an improved process of heat treatment which includes austenitizing the steel at a temperature of 1075.degree. C. to 1120.degree. C., cooling it to a temperature between -60.degree. C. and -80.degree. C. for hardening it, and tempering it at a temperature of 250.degree. C. to 400.degree. C.

Abstract: A packaging unit for objects has a first part and a second part connected to the first part, with the object to be packaged arranged between the first and the second parts. The first part is a flat, unshaped plastic foil and the second part is a plastic foil having a receiving pouch for receiving and enclosing the object. The receiving pouch of the second part is shaped exactly according to a surface contour of the object.

Abstract: A razor head having a plastic body with a rear cover and a front guardbar that define surface points for engaging the skin of a user. A razor blade unit is disposed on a support of the body and has at least one cutting edge. A series of strands extend over and perpendicular to the cutting edge, which protrudes by at least 0.02 mm beyond a tangent plane formed by the skin-engaging surface points of the guardbar and the cover.

Abstract: A razor head having a plastic body in which is disposed a razor blade unit. The plastic body has a top cover and a front guardbar that define surface points for engaging the skin of a user. At least one of the guardbar and the top cover are provided with at least two comb-like projections.

Abstract: To reduce the frictional resistance of a wet razor head, especially a razor blade unit thereof, as well as to provide a sharper blade without the risk of injury, there is provided a combination of a protective wire that covers a blade made of a steel strip having a width of less than 5 mm, a thickness between 0.05 and 0.25 mm, and a chromium/molybdenum steel composition having a hardness of greater than 620 HV and a retained austenite content of less than 32%, with the blade being a single piece that has no perforations or holes and that is mounted in a vibration-free manner in a plastic body. The protective wire comprises loops that are spaced greater than 2 mm but less than 5 mm apart and that have a minimum thickness of greater than 0.1 mm to form a protective guard over the razor blade with the effect of a protective foil.

Abstract: A razor is provided having a handle, at the front end of which a razor blade unit is disposed on a razor head, whereby disposed in a housing of the handle is a motor-driven vibration mechanism that imparts a vibration movement to the razor head together with the razor blade unit. The construction of the vibration mechanism is such that the razor blade unit executes a controlled, directed vibration movement while nearly completely avoiding vibration of the handle.
