A thin connector is assembled on a PCB for signal transmission of an LCD, and has an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals received in the insulative housing, a shell shielding the insulative housing and the conductive terminals, and a metal plate. The metal plate is sandwiched between the conductive terminals and the insulative housing and electrically connects with a grounding circuit of the PCB. An assembling arms upwardly extend from opposite side edges of the metal plate. ...

A heated metal plate drying system for drying either green veneer or partially dried veneer can have a plurality of modular hot presses mounted on a frame. At a loading station, individual sheets of veneer to be dried or redried are fed into a hot press, and at an unloading station the dried veneer sheets are unloaded from the system. Within each individual modular hot press, a direct contact drying process occurs that functions to reduce the moisture content of a veneer sheet down to the desire...

A thin film evaporator comprising an element having a conical, interior surface thereon which surface defines an evaporator surface and an outer casing within which the element is disposed is further provided with a support casing intermediate the said element and outer casing, the said support casing being permeable to the heat exchange medium and being connected, with the element providing the evaporator surface, at at least one location intermediate the axial limits thereof.

A thin layer chromatographic plate housing a substrate and bonded there to a layer of discrete, spherical inorganic metal oxide particles bonded to the substrate by an inorganic metal oxide binder the particles and binder being SrO.sub.2, TiO.sub.2, ZrO.sub.2, or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.

A gas burner system for providing a thin, flat flame for use in a long narrow combustion space, has a first air supply plenum which has a long narrow rectangular cross-section, which is placed above a second plenum or combustion chamber of substantially the same cross-section. At the junction between the first and second plena there are longitudinal projections inwardly from both long walls of the second plenum, forming a long narrow rectangular inlet to the second plenum. A burner assembly comp...

Deposited on a glass or ceramic substrate for a thin-film microcircuit board such as a hybrid IC board or a transparent electrode is a thin-film laminate, which comprises a dispersion metal thin-film dispersible and evaporable upon application of an energy above a threshold value and an electrical property-imparting film defining a conductor or a resistor. Then a high intensity of light having an energy sufficient to cause dispersion is applied selectively on the thin-film laminate, thereby remo...

A cutter for cutting thin boards, including a base provided with a plurality of guide grooves on one side in such a manner that they are arranged so as to form progressively larger angles with the under surface of the base. A cutting blade is mounted in each of these guide grooves in such a manner that all the cutting blades fall on the same plane with each other.

A process is disclosed which comprises the steps of introducing a stream of the organic liquid onto a plurality of rotating reacting surfaces, rotating the reacting surfaces at a velocity such that the organic liquid is continuously formed into a thin film on each reacting surface and is continuously moved as a thin film towards the periphery of each reacting surface by centrifugal force, depositing over each thin film a substantially undiluted stream of a gaseous medium, reacting the organic li...

Thin-film resistors with an insulating carrier member and a resistor film applied to the carrier member, in which the resistor film is a chrome-nickel film containing an added amount of at least one of the metals gold, aluminum, cobalt or tin. Mole percentages of the constituents of the resistive film are defined.

A thin film treatment apparatus, especially a thin film evaporator, comprising a rotor having a shaft and a rotationally symmetrical wall arranged about said rotor. The rotor is equipped with essentially radial, elastically resilient scraper elements extending up to such wall. These scraper elements are of essentially blade-shaped construction, and these scraper elements and the rotor are at least partially covered with an elastomeric material.
