  • Patent number: 6650003
    Abstract: A radiation shielding system for protecting an integrated circuit package from ionizing radiation is provided for an integrated circuit package which is substantially planar and has a plurality of package leads extending from at least one surface of the package, substantially perpendicular to a surface of the integrated circuit package. The system comprises a base portion comprising shielding material and defining a well for receiving the integrated circuit package. A lid of shielding material is provided for being attached to the base portion to completely encompass the integrated circuit package. The system also includes means for allowing portions of each of the package leads to exit the well when the integrated circuit package is within the well. The means includes insulating material.

  • Patent number: 6121672
    Abstract: A radiation shield for protecting an integrated circuit device from harmful radiation has a high Z shielding material for absorbing radiation. The radiation shield has a planar lower surface in contact with an upper surface of the integrated circuit device. The radiation shield also has a central portion in substantial registration with integrated circuit device. The central portion has a thickness sufficient to absorb harmful radiation. A distal portion is located about the central portion. A transitional portion is located between and connects the central and distal portions. The transitional portion has a minimum thickness, as, measured from the integrated circuit, that is about equal to the thickness of the central portion.

  • Patent number: 4336443
    Abstract: A modular oven device for baking rewound and varnished electrical components of substantial size includes front and rear oven sections, sized to pass individually through a passageway too narrow to accommodate the component to be baked, and assembled on a base section to define an oven cavity, and a heater/blower section assembled on one oven section. The oven sections are characterized by double, unsulated walls, flanges covering joints, a thermostatic control, and inlet and exhaust air flow regulation.
