Abstract:
A support (60) and a method for assembling micro-components (80, 84) to binding sites (62, 64, 66, 68) on the support are provided. The support has a pattern of electrical conductors adapted to conduct electrical energy between binding sites. In accordance with the method, an electrical signal is passed through at least one conductive path including at least one of the conductors so that heat is generated by a portion of each conductive path proximate to the binding sites, a first fluid (72) is applied to the support that is adapted to increase in viscosity when heated, and, a carrier fluid (73) having first micro-components (80) adapted to engage the binding sites is applied to the support. Wherein the heat from the at least one conductive path increases the viscosity of the first fluid in areas (92, 94) proximate to the selected binding sites (62, 66) so as to inhibit first micro-components from engaging the binding sites (62, 66) .
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing wireless communication devices for use in tracking or identifying other items comprises a number of cutting techniques that allow the size of the antenna for the wireless communication device. Further, the chip for the wireless communication device is nested so as to be flush with the surface of the substrate of the wireless communication device. Rollers cut the tabs that form the antenna elements. In a first embodiment, a plurality of rollers (114, 116) are used, each on effecting a different cut whose position may be phased so as to shorten or lengthen the antenna element. In a second embodiment, the rollers are independently positionable to shorten or lengthen the antenna element.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of an electric heater, means (24, 26) is provided for feeding and guiding an elongate corrugated metal ribbon heating element (14) progressively into overlying edgewise relationship with a base (2) of thermal and electrical insulation material. Means (6, 8) is provided for supporting the base (2) and for effecting relative motion between a surface of the base (2) and the means (24, 26) for feeding and guiding the heating element (14), such that motion of the base (2) is synchronised with feeding of the element (14). Further means (28) is provided for applying localised edgewise pressure to the heating element (14) as it is progressively fed and guided into the overlying edgewise relationship with the base (2), to urge the heating element (14) towards the base (2) and cause an edge portion (22) of the heating element (14), or one or more parts (22) secured to the heating element (14) and extending edgewise therefrom, to become secured by embedding in the base (2).

The fixing station (19) comprises a heatable zone (22) and a manipulator (21) for raising the circuit carrier (1) from the take-over location (29) and placing it in the heatable zone (22). A continuous belt conveyor (9) of the belt conveyor means extends from the placing location (17) up to the take-over location (29).
Abstract:
A tool (1) to insert a plurality of elongated flexible electric conductors (4) into the slots (3) of an elongated flexible insulating housing (2). The tool (1) has a passage (13) through which the housing (2) and conductors (4) move to have the conductors (4) urged into the slot (3). The passage (13) is bordered by a plurality of ramps (10) which engages the conductors (4) to urge them into the slot (3).
Abstract:
A circumferential sealing ring (14) is cast in one piece by the two-component injection moulding process on the dimensionally stable plastic of one part (11) to seal the plug-in region between a relay (1) and a plug base (2). The sealing ring (14) is elastically deformed by mutually engaging elements (15, 26), thus providing the desired seal in the arrangement.
Abstract:
A driving board folding machine comprises a machine housing, a movable table and one or more pre-folding stations for holding an unfolded flexible circuit and a circuit housing. When the driving board folding machine is activated, the one or more pre-folding stations are moved to a folding station located within the machine housing and the flexible circuit is folded and inserted within the circuit housing. The driving board folding station is able to comprise multiple pre-folding stations on one or more sides of the movable table. A holding pin holds the flexible circuit in place while a forming press moves in order to preform the flexible circuit, fold the flexible circuit and move the circuit housing to insert the flexible circuit into the housing.
