A Lange coupler device which includes a first layer which is a base substrate of a dielectric material such as alumina. Deposited on this substrate are second, third and fourth layers of the device. Each layer is made from a thick-film material. The second layer is a conductive layer, arranged in five parallel lines. One of the outermost lines is connected to the center line at one end of the substrate while the other outermost line is connected to the center line at the opposite end of the subs...

A thick film conductor composition suitable for use for electrodes in multilayer capacitors comprising (a) finely divided particles of electrically conductive metal, metal oxide precursors or alloys of the conductive metals, or mixtures thereof, dispersed in (b) an organic medium comprising (1) an organometallic compound, the metal or metal oxide moiety of which is insoluble in the electrically conductive metal and/or the oxide(s) of the metal moiety are non-reducing in the presence of the elect...

An Ytrium Barium Copper Oxide-based thick-film paste is disclosed, which when deposited on an alumina substrate is superconducting above the termperature of liquid nitrogen and substantially free of mechanical defects such as cracking or peeling. A method of applying the paste, including the curing process, insures that the YBC superconductor is boned to the substrate.

A thick film thermal head includes an electrical insulating substrate and a photosensitive material layer which is formed on the substrate and is provided with a linear groove formed on a surface thereof by exposing it to light. An elongated resistance heater is embedded in the groove, and a plurality of electrodes are formed on the surface of the photosensitive material layer in contact with the resistance heater and arranged in the longitudinal direction of the resistance heater.

An improved thick film resistor for use with variable resistor applications includes a gold overlay applied to the contact surface of the thick film resistor after first etching the contact surface with acid. The combination of the gold overlay and acid etching of the contact surface reduces contact resistance and the contact resistance variation and provides improved wear resistance of the contact surface in a variable resistor element.

A stabilized frozen thick shake comprising an emulsion of sugar and fat which has been homogenized at a pressure sufficient to discretely disperse the fat globules therein and wherein the aqueous phase that has been partially crystallized as discrete water ice particles is stabilized by xanthan gum, a soluble alginate and a polyvalent cation permitting product to be stored at 0.degree.-40.degree.F while resisting separation under abusive temperature conditions.

In a thick matter pump, especially for delivering concrete, comprising two delivery cylinders, it is known to provide two position sensors in one of the two cylinders for control of the pistons. However, leakage of hydraulic fluid can lead to an imbalance of the two cylinders. In the invention two position sensors (52', 52") are provided, which are arranged at a defined distance from one of the ends of the drive cylinders and which respond to a drive piston (30', 30") that is passing by. To prev...

A novel thick film resistor configuration and a method for fabricating thick film resistors, by which such resistors can be processed to achieve targeted electrical properties in an as-fired condition. The configuration and method of this invention involve creating a thick film resistor in the form of a series of short resistors whose combined resistance values approximately equal the predetermined resistance value required of the thick film resistor by its hybrid electronic circuit, yet with th...
