20100313675 | Magnetic flow meter and method of manufacturing a magnetic flow meter - A magnetic flow meter includes a first spud end, a second spud end, and a sensing area positioned between the first spud end and the second spud end. The sensing area has a wall thickness that is thinner than a thickness of the first spud end and the second spud end. The flow meter can be manufactured via molding while a plug is positioned in at least two holes of the magnetic flow meter. The flow meter can also be manufactured to have a near hermetic seal formed by inserting a flexible printed circuit board in a slit of a gasket and then either compressing a register cup surrounding the tube gasket or driving a pin into a center pin around which the tube gasket is positioned | 12-16-2010 |
20120144929 | MAGNETIC INDUCTIVE FLOW METER - A magnetic-inductive flow meter is provided that includes a pressure-resistant plastic housing that includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and an intermediate measuring unit that has a duct wall and a measurement duct through which the fluid to be measured flows. Two opposite measuring electrodes are arranged in the duct wall and are oriented perpendicular to the magnet poles. Taking into account the maximum admissible pressure for the selected plastic, the duct wall is reduced to a minimum admissible thickness in the region of the magnet poles. An internal reinforcement cage that includes at least two internal transverse bulkheads and at least two internal longitudinal ribs stabilizes the duct wall. An external reinforcement cage that includes at least two first external longitudinal ribs retains and stabilizes the internal reinforcement cage and connects the measuring unit in a tension-proof manner to the inlet port and the outlet port. | 06-14-2012 |
20120146634 | MAGNETIC INDUCTIVE FLOW METER - A magnetically inductive flowmeter having a pressure-resistant housing made of plastic, comprising a measuring unit with a measuring channel of rectangular cross-section which is flown through by the measurement fluid, a channel wall, two opposing magnet poles at the channel wall, an electromagnet with magnet coil and magnet core for generating a magnetic alternating field as well as two opposing measurement electrodes in the channel wall. The magnet poles are punched, bent and folded parts made of electric sheet metal in the form of an elongate strip with mutually distanced surface elements formed thereon. The elongate strip forms a double web after folding. The surface elements form magnet pole surfaces after bending. The double web and the magnet pole surfaces form the magnet pole. The double web is located on the rear side of the magnet pole. | 06-14-2012 |

20090295036 | Ultra high-temperature plastic package and method of manufacture - A package for microelectronic circuits includes a frame made of a high molecular weight plastic material, such as a liquid crystal polymer (LCP), attached to a flange, or leadframe. The plastic material is injection molded to the flange. Initial polymerization of the plastic material can occur in a liquid state and results in an intermediate material having an initial melting temperature. After the frame is injection molded, the frame is heated and undergoes further (secondary) polymerization, thereby lengthening polymer chains in the plastic material. These longer polymer chains have higher molecular weight, and the resulting final material has a higher melting temperature, than the intermediate material. The resulting ultra-high molecular weight polymer can withstand high temperatures, such as those encountered during soldering. Thus, after the further (secondary) polymerization, a die can be soldered to the flange, without damaging the plastic frame. | 12-03-2009 |
20100203283 | THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL - A circuit package for housing semiconductor or other integrated circuit devices (“die”) includes a high-copper flange, one or more high-copper leads and a liquid crystal polymer frame molded to the flange and the leads. The flange includes a dovetail-shaped groove or other frame retention feature that mechanically interlocks with the molded frame. During molding, a portion of the frame forms a key that freezes in or around the frame retention feature. The leads include one or more lead retention features to mechanically interlock with the frame. During molding, a portion of the frame freezes in or adjacent these lead retention features. The frame includes compounds to prevent moisture infiltration and match its coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) to the CTE of the leads and flange. The is frame is formulated to withstand die-attach temperatures. A lid is ultrasonically welded to the frame after a die is attached to the flange. | 08-12-2010 |

20090171678 | PROTECTING DOMAIN NAMES FROM UNDESIRED TRANSFER - Systems and methods are disclosed for protecting a domain name during a sale of shares of equity in the domain name. Prior to and during the sale of shares of equity in the domain name, the domain name is moved into a holding account as collateral for the sale of shares of equity. This protection may include registrar protection, such as expiration protection or hijack protection, or legal protection and rights such as trademark protection (including specialized ICANN protections) and copyright protection. The domain owner may also make use of an Internet-related business setup, including e-commerce and web content design, development, coding and configuration. | 07-02-2009 |
20090171823 | UNDERWRITING THE SALE OF SHARES OF EQUITY IN A DOMAIN NAME - Systems and methods are disclosed for underwriting a sale of shares of equity in a domain name. Domain information (including domain registrant, description, organizations, performance, business plans and risks) is submitted to a network of underwriters. Based on this information, the potential underwriters submit proposals to underwrite the sale of shares of equity in the domain name. The registrant selects a proposal, and the registrant and selected underwriter negotiate the number of shares and price per share. | 07-02-2009 |
20100250353 | TURNKEY RESELLER PROGRAM FOR REGISTERING DOMAIN NAMES - A reseller program may be used to increase the number of Customer desired domain names that are registered by a Registrar. There are two main embodiments of this reseller program. In the first embodiment, Resellers guide Customers to a Registrar web site through the use of advertisements, links in various web sites and/or links from search engines. The Registrar web site communicates directly with the Customer and registers the Customer desired domain names and compensates the Reseller for guiding the Customer to the Registrar web site. In the second embodiment, Resellers have their own reseller web sites that communicate directly with the Customers and communicate the desired domain names to the Registrar web site so the Registrar web site can register the Customer desired domain names. In this embodiment, the Customer may compensate the Reseller and the Reseller may compensate the Registrar for the services rendered. | 09-30-2010 |
