Abstract: A system for building a TRC includes a spray mechanism for spraying a coating material, a target system including a rotatable spray-target that retains an object with a surface to be covered by the TRC, a temperature sensor, and a control system for controlling application of the coating material based on a temperature that is determined during the spraying. The temperature sensor may comprise a non-contact infrared sensor that may measure a temperature related to the object. The measured temperature may be controlled by varying the speed of the rotatable spray-target.

Abstract: A system for applying a sprayed coating includes a spray mechanism operative to spray a liquefied coating material; a target system including a rotatable spray target wheel; and one or more device-holding fixtures configured to be mounted onto the spray target wheel without requiring either an unattached threaded fastener or a locking pin. Preferred embodiments of the system are configured for thermal spray application of Tamper Resistant Coatings (TRCs).

Abstract: Disclosed is a stacked die carrier assembly and method for packaging and interconnecting silicon chips such as memory chips. The carrier is constructed from a metalized substrate onto which the chip is attached. The chip is wire bonded to the conductor pattern on the substrate. Each conductor then is routed to the edge of the substrate where it is connected to a half-circle of a metalized through hole. A frame is attached on top of this substrate. This frame has also a pattern of half-circle metalized through holes that aligns with the holes on the bottom substrate. The combination of the bottom substrate with the silicon die, and the frame on top, forms a basic stackable unit. Several such units can be stacked and attached on top of each other. The top unit can finally be covered with a ceramic lid that also has a matching half-circle metalized through hole pattern along its edge.

Abstract: A solid state relay circuit which utilizes a metal oxide power semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) as an output switching device to switch power to load circuitry by an electrically-isolated coupling arrangement including light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode array. An arrangement is provided for sensing the current through the LED coupling arrangement to determine when the solid state relay circuit has been operated and, in turn, to operate indicating circuitry. The circuitry may also be utilized as self testing circuitry to check the integrity of components of the input portion of the circuitry.
