The invention provides a gasket which improves a handling workability of a rubber only type gasket. The gasket of the invention is constructed by a combination of a rubber only type gasket main body, and a carrier sheet which is made of a resin film retaining the gasket main body in a non-bonded state, and the carrier sheet is provided with an air inflow port for making air flow into a portion between the carrier sheet and the gasket main body when the gasket main body is detached from the carrier sheet. A gasket retention portion having a three-dimensional shape which is deformed along an outer shape of the gasket main body is arranged at a position which laps over the gasket main body in a plane in the carrier sheet, and the gasket main body is partly accommodated within the gasket retention portion in a thickness direction.

In a method for forming a microelectronic device, a substrate is loaded into a mold press. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface is placed on an interior lower surface of the mold press. The substrate has a plurality of wire bond wires extending from the first surface toward an interior upper surface of the mold press. An upper surface of a mold film is indexed to the interior upper surface of the mold press. A lower surface of the mold film is punctured with tips of the plurality of wire bond wires for having the tips of the plurality of wire bond wires extending above the lower surface of the mold film into the mold film. The tips of the plurality of wire bond wires are pressed down toward the lower surface of the mold film to bend the tips over.

The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), comprising: two counter-bearings (11, 12), which are arranged on opposite sides of the device and which correspond to the elongated ends of the elongated hollow profile element, wherein one end of the at least one pulling wire (13) is anchored to the distal counter-bearing (11), and a mold (2a, 2b), which forms a sealed elongated cavity (3) that can be filled with a hardening material, wherein the cavity (3) extends between the two counter-bearings (11, 12) and the pulling wire (13) extends in the cavity (3) so as not to touch the cavity wall. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing an elongated hollow profile element that has at least one pulling wire (13), the elongated hollow profile element, and a bending section for an endoscope.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the handling and usability of rubber only-type gaskets. To achieve said purpose, a gasket molding is obtained by combining a rubber only-type gasket body with a film carrier obtained from a resin film that holds the gasket body in an unbonded state. The gasket molding is characterized in that: in addition to a gasket-holding section for holding the gasket body, the film carrier has temporary tacking sections that are surface-treated to temporarily tack the gasket body to said film carrier; the gasket body has temporary tack-receiving sections that are temporarily tacked to the temporary tacking sections; and the temporary tacking sections and temporary tack-receiving sections are removed from the film carrier and the gasket body when the film carrier and gasket body are punched into the product shapes.

The purpose of this invention is to make it easy to handle all-rubber gaskets. To achieve this purpose, a gasket is characterized in that a gasket body of only rubber is combined with a carrier film that is made from a resin film to hold the gasket body in a non-adhesive state. A three-dimensional portion having a shape that is deformed along the external shape of the gasket body is provided at a position where the gasket body and a plane of the carrier film overlap, and a portion of the gasket body is contained in the three-dimensional section. The gasket body is used as a gasket for fuel cells incorporated into a fuel cell stack.

A multi-camera vision system for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras viewing exterior the equipped vehicle and at least one non-visual sensor sensing exterior of the equipped vehicle. Captured image data and sensor data are provided to a central data processor. At the central data processor, image data is fused with sensor data and processed in order to detect vehicles that are present external the equipped vehicle. The central data processor includes a digital signal processor operable to process data at a data processioning speed of at least 30 MIPS. Via processing at the central data processor of image data and sensor data, a potential hazard present exterior the equipped vehicle is determined to exist. The potential hazard arises from presence of rear-approaching traffic in at least one of (i) a side lane to the equipped vehicle and (ii) a rear lane to the equipped vehicle.

The invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of a bearing element of a shift device for a motor vehicle transmission. In a first process step a bearing element is provided, which comprises at least one projection and a coupling joint for the mechanical coupling of a selector lever in order to select a shift position of a motor vehicle transmission. The projection is overmolded by means of an assembly injection molding process with a bearing bushing material in order to form a bearing bushing to mount the bearing element in a moveable manner.

A portion of a holder is in contact with a lens surface, a holding portion configured to hold a lens in the holder is provided, and a mold shrinkage factor of a material that forms the holder is smaller than a mold shrinkage factor of a material that forms the lens by no less than 0.3%.

A method for assembling a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes providing a mirror mount and a mirror head. The mirror head includes a transparent mirror frame and a mirror reflective element accommodated at the transparent mirror frame. The transparent mirror frame has a patterned front side having a plurality of channels established thereat and a rear side opposite the patterned front side. An illumination source is provided at the mirror head. The patterned front side of the transparent mirror frame is patterned to reflect light emitted by the illumination source, when powered, so that an illumination pattern is visible to a person viewing the rear of the transparent mirror frame. The mirror head is pivotally mounted at the mirror mount.
