A fuser for an image-forming apparatus includes a fusing roller which is replaceable in a cartridge. The fusing roller cartridge includes a cover for covering an access opening providing access to the fusing roller. The cover is openable, either directly by an operator to a latched condition, by the apparatus in response to insertion of the cartridge, by the operator before insertion but held in an uncovering position by the receiving apparatus or by suitable mechanism in the apparatus after insertion of the cartridge. Preferably, the cover closes early in the removal motion so that the fingers of the removing operator cannot touch a hot fusing roller. A metallic heat shield between the fusing roller and the cartridge housing helps prevent the housing from becoming too hot to touch.

A development station for developing electrostatic images includes a housing which has a vertically oriented separating wall which divides the housing into first and second chambers. In assembly both chambers are open at the top permitting ready loading of one chamber with a mixture of toner and carrier and the other chamber with substantially toner. The separating wall includes an opening at the bottom for passage of toner into the chamber containing the mixture. A toner applicator is located at the top of the chamber containing the mixture and a cover is permanently affixed across the tops of the chambers, totally sealing the chambers except for an opening in the cover opposite the toner-applicator. Because of the design of the station, especially the chambers which are open at the top for easy loading of toner and carrier, the station can economically be made disposable. A method for assembling the elements which make up the development station and for loading the toner and/or carrier in the various chambers is also described.

A modular system for assembling food service fixtures employs a plurality of leg assemblies each having a front leg, a rear member that can be selectively suspended at desired locations from a horizontal rail, and a substantially horizontal member extending between the rear member and front leg. Clips are used to removably secure shelves between the horizontal members of adjacent leg assemblies. A counter top extends from the back plane and is supported by the upper ends of the front legs. Each front leg includes a standardized set of fastening means for interchangeably fastening any of a plurality of alternative front members (doors, aprons, plate shelves, panels, etc.) between adjacent leg assemblies. In the preferred embodiment, the shelves are made of a plurality of wire rods. Upper and lower wire rods extend along the lateral edges of each shelf. Each clip has a slot for receiving the horizontal member of one of the leg assemblies, at least one J-shaped member for receiving and supporting the lower wire rod, and a tab for retaining the upper wire rod when the shelf is engaged to the clip.

A method of preparing a substrate such as a semiconductor chip or ceramic thin film having vias for soldering to a substrate requires that a first metal that is resistive to solder bonding be deposited on the backside of the semiconductor device. The deposited metal is removed from the surface of the semiconductor device, leaving the vias of the semiconductor device having the first metal deposited through them. This technique is useful in any requirement requiring a solder or brazing barrier. That is a photolithographic process in conjunction with a refractory or nonsolderable metal deposit is used to achieve an alloy or solder barrier.

A double-sleeved roller (DSR) including: a mandrel having a disconnectable end incorporating three termination plates having specified axial profiles; a replaceable inner sleeve member (ISM) mounted on the mandrel; and, a replaceable multilayer outer sleeve member (OSM) including at least one synthetic layer with the OSM surrounding the ISM. The mandrel, adapted to support a non-reinforced ISM, includes the termination plates joined together so as to define two sets of channels for selectively conveying pressurized air to either OSM or ISM for radial expansion thereof. The termination plates have specialized outer shapes, with each termination end plate including a cylindrical portion adjoining a tapered portion. For removal and/or replacement of the OSM or the ISM, a removable support member is moved away from the disconnectable end of the roller while the other end of the roller continues to be supported in cantilever fashion.

A cartridge magazine is provided including a plurality of sleeves, each defining a pocket for containing a film cartridge, and a hub supporting the sleeves parallel to one another in a ring. Each sleeve defines a non-circular cross-section accommodating longitudinal movement of the cartridges through the sleeve, but blocking rotational movement of the cartridges in the sleeve. The sleeve, is open along one side, defining a slot for accessing cartridges from the exterior of the magazine. In certain applications, film in selected cartridges is advanced from the cartridge and through the slot without removing the cartridge from the magazine. According to other features, duplicate sections of the magazine are combined with the sleeves arranged in columns for increased capacity.

A device for developing electrostatic images carried on a film belt in an apparatus receiving the developing device includes device location surfaces which seat on apparatus location surfaces in the apparatus to locate the device with respect to the apparatus. Film support surfaces on the device support the film belt a fixed spacing from a developer applicator. The film support surfaces are located within tight tolerances with respect to the surface of the applicator to provide accurate positioning of the applicator and film belt.

A development station for a low cost copier or printer has a housing having walls that divide the housing into two separate chambers. The first chamber contains a developer mix including carrier particles and toner. The second chamber holds a supply of toner particles. The second chamber holds a single supply of fresh toner particles that are periodically metered to the first chamber. The second chamber is fully enclosed and sealed so that the supply of toner in the second chamber cannot be replenished. A plate in the second chamber rests on top of the toner supply and urges the toner downwardly in the chamber as the toner supply is delivered to the first chamber. When the toner supply is exhausted, the plate blocks the passageway for toner from the second chamber to the first chamber. Thus, if an opening is formed in the top of the second chamber and a new supply of toner is provided to the chamber through the opening, the plate prevents delivery of the new toner supply to the first chamber. Therefore the plate prevents a new supply of toner that may be incompatible with the carrier particles in the second chamber from being used in the development station.

A step-over connection in a monolithic device including laterally spaced alizations having upper surfaces at one or more levels above a supporting substrate and a dielectric layer over one of the metalizations. The connection is in the form of a metal bridge spanning the space between the metalizations, and is formed by successive steps of providing a first resist layer, forming openings therein, etching away an area of dielectric layer, gold plating pillars on the exposed metalization surfaces, sputtering a gold film on the first resist layer and exposed pillars, providing a second resist layer with a pillar connecting bridge pattern opening, gold plating the bridge connection on the exposed sputtered gold film, and removing the resist layers and excess gold film.
