Metallic elements such as leads for connection to a semiconductor chip are made by embossing a metal sheet to form thin and thick regions, then etching or otherwise removing metal from the sheet in a nonselective removal process and arresting the removal process when the thin regions are removed but before the thick regions are removed. A base material may be applied to the metal sheet to form a dielectric layer before the removal step, so that the metallic leads left after the removal step are supported by the dielectric layer.
Intravenous Catheter Assembly With Fluid Flow Restriction Capability
An intravenous catheter assembly for use in the administration of fluids to a patient includes a compressible, flexible hub having a bore therethrough. One end of the bore is adapted to receive a hollow tube such as an intravenous catheter so that fluid is flowable through the bore and the tube. A pair of generally oppositely extending wing sections is connected to the hub, at least one of the wings being hingedly connected to the hub to allow that wing to fold over the hub. On the hingedly connected wing is a pinching protuberance for contact with the hub when the wing is folded thereover whereby, in use, the folded wing urges the protuberance against the flexible hub causing it to collapse and occlude the bore and thereby restrict fluid from passing therethrough.
A container in the form of an elongated tray for packaging a plurality of syringes and subsequently forming a rack when inverted for holding the syringes prior to and after use. The tray may have an open top, enclosed side walls and an enclosed bottom wall having an external surface with at least one row of notches for holding and accurately positioning the syringes. A removable label or cover may be heat-sealed or otherwise secured over the open top of the tray. In one embodiment of the invention, a heat-sealable dunnage material may be positioned in the tray between the cover and the syringes and both the dunnage material and the tray may be heat-sealed to the cover to thereby facilitate removal of the dunnage material. The method of utilizing the heat-sealable dunnage material is also disclosed.
A hypodermic syringe assembly comprises a barrel with an axial bore, a hollow tip integral with the barrel having an internal surface defining a passageway communicating with the axial bore and also having a tapered external surface adapted to mate with the female tapered surface of a conventional needle hub, a needle hub having a bore therethrough removably positioned in and occupying substantially the entire volume of the passageway and a hollow needle secured within the bore of the hub in fluid communication with the axial bore of the barrel. The syringe assembly may be used with the unique hub positioned within the passageway to provide a substantially air-free syringe or the hub and needle may be removed from the tip to permit a conventional needle hub to be placed thereon.

Methods Of Making Microelectronic Packages Utilizing Coining
A package for a microelectronic element is made by making a microelectronic component, including embossing a metal sheet to form thin and thick regions, then etching or otherwise removing metal from the sheet in a nonselective removal process and arresting the removal process when the thin regions are removed but before the thick regions are removed. A base material may be applied to the metal sheet to form a dielectric layer for the component. The component is assembled with a microelectronic element to form the package.
A polymeric tube for a medical catheter is provided with elongated metal stripes extending lengthwise along the tube by illuminating the exterior surface of the tube patternwise and treating metal responsive to the illumination. The tube may be covered with a photoresist and moved axially past a plurality of light beams while rotating the tube about its axis so as to form a helical pattern. After development of the photoresist, the metal is deposited or removed in a pattern corresponding to the pattern formed in the photoresist, so as to leave helical metallic stripes. The metallic stripes may have varying helical pitch, varying width or both along the length of the tube, and may serve as electrical connectors and physical reinforcements for the tube wall.
