Abstract: An IC-packaged device comprises a lower plate which has wiring patterns at least on an upper surface; an upper plate which has upper surface wiring patterns and at least an opening hole and are superimposed on the lower plate when used; and a plurality of IC chips which has a lot of connecting terminal groups mounted on the upper plate. In this structure, some of the connecting terminal groups of the plurality of IC chips are wire-bonded to the wiring patterns on the upper plate, while the other of the connecting terminal groups of the plurality of IC chips pass through the opening hole in the upper plate and are wire-bonded directly to the wiring patterns on the lower plate.

Abstract: In a half-tone recording method and apparatus, half-tone expressing units, each consisting of several recording picture elements, express gradations of density in a document. The recording picture elements in the units are assigned various half-tone levels with the half tone level of at least one of the recording picture elements both increasing and decreasing as the gradation of the half-tone expressing unit increases.

Abstract: Apparatus for forming a concave lens of resin material and adapted to be used, for example, in spectacles, video projection devices, etc., whereby raw material is fed into substantially the center thinner portion of the mold first and then radially outwardly until the material reaches the periphery, thereby to eliminate weld lines in the produced lenses.

Abstract: An A.C. relay system for making and breaking an A.C. power line utilizing an electromagnetic relay having a coil for opening and closing the mechanical switching contacts, a bilateral gated semiconductor such as a triac connected across the contacts, and a control circuit for switching the relay and triac in proper sequence is disclosed. The control circuit comprises a sequence control unit, a phase detector, a triac firing unit and a relay energizing unit. Upon actuation of the sequence control unit, the triac firing unit first fires the triac and then the relay energizing unit energizes the coil to close the mechanical contacts. To break the A.C. power line, the sequence control unit first de-energizes the relay energizing unit and then after a suitable time interval de-energizes the triac firing unit to cut off the gate signal, the triac being turned off when the load current on the power line is below a triac holding current.
