A household tool for gathering and picking material comprising two rake head and handle units arranged side by side, overlapping, or crisscrossed with both rake heads arranged in substantially the same orientation. The units are temporarily held in this position by several possible fasteners along the length of the units. One version allows both units to be completely disconnected when in the pick-up mode. Another version is additionally joined quasi-permanently at a pivoting joint that allows the units to swing in opposite directions when their undersides are substantially facing each other. One or both of the handles can be extended for raking and retracted for picking. Each unit has a fixed or adjustable hand grip or arm grip for less fatigue when picking. The rake head may partly overlap to provide more picking-up capacity and more stability to the components.

The active materials may be present in dispersion concentrates of the present invention singly or in useful combinations. The active materials are selected from the group of fungicides and bactericides consisting of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one; 2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one; 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3 -one; 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one; pyrithione zinc; 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate; 2-methylthio-4-ethylamino-6-tert-butylamino-s-triazine; and 3-(4-isopropylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, and mixtures thereof. The dispersion concentrates may be efficiently shipped and stored, and subsequently diluted with water to produce less concentrated dispersions when desired. Even at relatively high concentrations, the dispersion compositions of the present invention can be stored for months or years without significant loss of stability.

Spheroidal reconstituted HDL particles with a defined phospholipid composition have been formed for the first time. The spheroidal HDL particle are formed from discoidal HDL particles of defined phospholid composition to which is added in multiple stepwise format unesterified cholesterol carried in a solvent, followed by addition of a LCAT. Lysophopholipids are removed and a specific sequence of addition of reagents are found to be beneficial. Additionally it is found that a ratio of phospholipids to apoprotein A-1 of about 100:1 enhances the result.

An apparatus is provided for manufacturing a semiconductor package of the type in which a gap between a semiconductor chip and a mount board is filled with a resin. The apparatus includes resin supply means for supplying the resin along one side of the semiconductor chip, and resin supply control means for controlling the amount of resin supplied by the resin supply means such that more resin is supplied near the central portion of the semiconductor chip than near the end portions of the semiconductor chip. Also provided is a method that includes the steps of connecting the semiconductor chip and the mount board, and supplying the resin along one side of the semiconductor chip in such a manner that more resin is supplied near a central portion of the semiconductor chip than near the end portions of the semiconductor chip. According to the present invention, the resin is supplied such that it is relatively less concentrated near the peripheral portions of the chip so the resin spreads throughout the entire gap at substantially the same time as it flows along the peripheral portion of the chip. Thus, the formation of resin-less voids in the gap is deterred so that the grade and quality of the semiconductor device is improved.
