Integrated circuit device packages and substrates for making the packages are disclosed. One embodiment of a substrate includes a planar sheet of polyimide having a first surface, an opposite second surface, and apertures between the first and second surfaces. A planar metal die pad and planar metal are attached to the second surface of the polyimide sheet. The apertures in the polyimide sheet are juxtaposed to the leads. A package made using the substrate includes an integrated circuit device m...

Disclosed is a method and an article formed thereby which includes a part which is subjected to heat during fabrication of an IC package, and a fixture for holding such a part, having an arrangement for accommodating the expansion and contraction of the part during heating and cooling while holding the part in alignment. In one embodiment, the expansion and contraction arrangement comprises slots arranged as apices of a triangle in the part which receives pins in the fixture with the major axes ...

A composite strip for producing a sterile package comprises two superposed individual strips, the inner surfaces of which are sterile, and at least one of which comprises a thermoplastic material. The thermoplastic material is such that after the separation of the two individual strips, the individual strip comprising thermoplastic material can be sealed to a part of itself or to the other strip by welding or glueing with the application of heat and pressure. A first part of one individual strip...

The invention relates to a packing material in the form of a web intended for aseptic packages. The packing material is a laminate with, the side of the packing material web which is intended to form the inside of the packages consisting of a thermoplastic layer, preferably polyethylene. This polyethylene layer has a sterile surface and is covered in turn by a thin plastic film which completely covers the polyethylene layer and maintains its sterility. On the conversion of the packing material t...

Articles, for example soft packages, moving on a conveyor belt are diverted into a storage device and subsequently returned therefrom onto the conveyor belt. The storage device comprises a reversible cleated belt which is wound in a spiral on a roller to define closed compartments for the articles.

A tamper evident closure and package including a resealable closure (10) for closing, opening and reclosing a container, color changing means (32a in FIGS. 1-6) which effect a color change upon stretching, and coacting mechanical means (24, 36, 44 and 46 in FIGS. 1-6) for uncapping and recapping the closure 10 and for stretching the color changing means (32a) which clearly and unequivocally indicate the condition of the package, e.g., open or closed. Where legends, or other well defined indicia,...

Apparatus for the formation of packages of elongated flexible material wound upon a pirn supported and rotated in the apparatus, the apparatus having an operating carriage mounted for reciprocation parallel to the axis of the pirn, mechanism for reciprocating the operating carriage with a basic reciprocating movement lengthwise of the pirn, a vibrator mounted upon the operating carriage, a thread guide vibrated by the vibrator in a direction lengthwise of the pirn with an amplitude which is a fr...

A tamper indicating package comprising a container having a neck with external threads formed thereon, and a plastic closure comprising a top panel and an integral depending annular skirt. The skirt has integral internal threads thereon complementary to the threads on the neck of the container. The container having an annular bead positioned axially below the threads. The skirt has a tamper indicating ring at the lower end thereof connected to the remainder of the skirt along a weakened line bel...

A machine for producing blister packages have several interchangeable dies with cavities, vented to the atmosphere, that differ in shape but have identical rim zones open toward an abutment plate through which compressed air is admitted for deforming a preheated thermoplastic carrier strip periodically pressed against that plate by the reciprocating die. The blisters thus formed in the carrier strip are filled with goods to be packaged and are then engaged by a transport wheel with peripheral in...

A coaxial connector for electrical connection to a microwave package comprises an outer metal body member having a dielectric-receiving bore extending therethrough which has an inner section and an outer section, the diameter of the inner section being smaller than the diameter of the outer section thereby defining a shoulder therebetween. A dielectric member of substantially the same diameter as that of the inner section disposed along the dielectric-receiving bore and having a contact-receivin...
