  • Publication number: 20110303720
    Abstract: An electrically operable bolt driving tool is disclosed. The tool includes an electric drive motor which can be driven by an electric power supply system and delivers driving power to a temporary storage which can store the driving power temporarily and can release it suddenly in a driving operation to drive a bolt. To further increase the safety in operation of electrically operable bolt driving tools, the bolt driving tool includes a safety mechanism by which the electric power supply system can be connected to the bolt driving tool in such a way that the temporary storage is automatically transferred from a storage state to a defined resting state when the electric power supply system is disconnected from the bolt driving tool.

  • Patent number: 5980683
    Abstract: Described is a method for manufacturing of carrier element modules of a thin carrier element (4) and a thereon mounted semiconductor chip (2). This method renders possible the application of chips (2) with great dimensions (macro-chips) and a wide variety of different types. A chip transfer moulding process is designed so that a minimised height--without the need for reworking--is achievable, and therefore a less costly surface mounting of the chips can be applied. The manufactured module according to the invention can be used as well as in flexible circuit boards (e.g. for cameras) or in chipcards. The method according to the present invention has a first step of putting the at least one IC (2) onto the carrier element (4), a second step of contacting the at least one IC (2) with the carrier element (4) and a third step of transfer moulding a transfer moulding compound (18) to encapsulate the IC (2).

  • Patent number: 4743179
    Abstract: A piston pump, in accordance with several embodiments, comprises a suction chamber into which fluid medium enters from an inlet line via a suction valve, beginning at the outset of a delivery stroke of the piston pump, without a build-up of intake negative pressure during the delivery stroke of the piston, and is particularly adapted to prevent vapor bubble formation. A reliable pump closure is ensured in the vicinity of the pump outlet, independent of the spring action of a return spring, which bears against the piston, in that any fluid medium entering the suction chamber of the pump contacts the piston in a direction producing reinforcement of the outlet closure pressure. In accordance with preferred embodiments, the piston may be a partially hollow or entirely hollow piston instead of a solid one.
