A closure of the press-on type which includes a shell having therein a liner which functions to both form a seal with a container neck finish and also to form in the closure threads which are complementary to the threads of a container neck finish wherein although the closure is pressed on, it may be removed by rotating the same and further may be reapplied to have the same original tight seal. The closure is particularly identifiable by the properties and dimensions of the liner with the proper...

The present invention relates to an improved gardening tool. The improved gardening tool is seen to include a V-shaped tool portion having a plurality of V-shaped cutting edges therein. The tool portion includes a connecting means thereon which is adapted to removably receive a handle. The tool portion and handle are removably attachable to facilitate using different configurations of handles as well as different sized tool portions.

Disclosed are random copolymers derived from ethylene and at least two different alkyl acrylate comonomers, with or without an acid cure site-containing comonomer. In particular, disclosed are copolymers derived from copolymerization of (a) from 10 to 50 weight % of ethylene; (b) from 5 to 55 weight % of a first alkyl acrylate; (b) from 15 to 80 weight % of a second alkyl acrylate; and (d) from 0 to 7 weight % of a monoalkyl ester of 1,4-butene-dioic acid. Such copolymers exhibit lower glass tra...

A plurality of storage pixels within each unit pixel are arranged successively so that signal electrons for each storage pixel are moved independently through the storage pixels. Signal electrons newly generated in a photosensitive pixel are added to relevant signal electrons among the signal electrons moved independently through the storage pixels. That is, signal electrons generated in the photosensitive pixel for each of highly relevant frames are superimposed in the same storage pixel and st...

A flash memory device that can be erased and programmed electrically, the flash memory device includes an array of transistor memory cell units each has N-doped source and drain regions formed in the device substrate. An N-doped buried channel is formed in the device substrate located between the source and drain regions. A P-doped floating gate is further formed substantially above the buried channel, and a control gate is formed on top of the floating gate. The different doping pattern in the ...

A ceramic package includes a ceramic case for installing a piezo-vibrator therein. Capacitors are formed directly on the bottom surface of the ceramic case through the multi-layer printing method. Electrodes of the capacitors also function as input and output electrodes for the piezo-vibrator.

A flexible nasal cannula having improved characteristics is produced in a mold cavity incorporating a forming means comprising a transverse core having straight upper portion and a lower portion extending at an angle from the upper portion and a nipple core portion comprising a pair of rodlike extensions located toward the upper end of the upper portion and which extend substantially perpendicular to its axis. In a molding process, the forming means is maintained in spacial relation within a mol...

A driving method for a solid-state image sensing device includes the steps of: transferring signal charges generated at pixels (12) arranged in odd rows in the column upward direction through vertical transfer paths (13) each arranged for each column; temporarily accumulating the upward transferred signal charges for one field at a first accumulation region (14) and transferring the accumulated signal charges row by row in sequence for each field period through other vertical transfer paths (18)...

The invention relates to compounds of the formula: ##STR1## in which R.sup.4 is an unsaturated, 5 or 6-membered heteromonocyclic group, R.sup.5 is hydrogen, lower alkanimidoyl or imino-protective group, R.sup.7 is ar(lower)alkyl or acyl derived from a carboxylic, carbonic, sulfonic or carbamic acid, and A is lower alkylene, or a salt thereof, useful as intermediates in the preparation of antimicrobial agents.

A step of a method applies a coating material to an electric coil of a workpiece. Before, after, or before and after that step, another step directs a first heated gas flow to impinge on the workpiece. An embodiment of apparatus includes first, second, and third mechanisms. The first mechanism directs a first heated gas flow to impinge on the workpiece. The second mechanism applies a coating material to the electric coil. The third mechanism relatively transports the workpiece between the first ...
