Abstract: A method and system. It is ascertained that a database stores the company profile record including the target attribute and a validity attribute associated with the target attribute. The validity attribute has a VALID or INVALID value respectively indicating that the target attribute in the company profile record has a valid or invalid value within the database. It is insured that the database stores a first and second user profile record, that a first user of a requisition transaction corresponds to the first user profile record, that the first user profile record includes the target attribute having a value identical to a value of the target attribute of a first company profile record associated with a first company represented by the first user, and that the validity attribute of the first company profile record has the VALID value. A requisition object record corresponding to the requisition transaction is verified.

Abstract: A multi-beam drilling apparatus for selectively removing material from a substrate, at least one radiation source producing at least one beam of coherent radiation switchable between an energized and a deenergized state, a mask fixedly position relative to a substrate and provided with a preselected pattern of passages for machining beam passage whereby each passage is larger than the applied beam passing therethrough, the coherent source and substrate with the mask are relatively positionable.

Abstract: A method for forming electrical interconnections in vias is provided by laser drilling vias in a composite that contains at least two circuitized organic polymeric substrates superimposed upon each other. The laser drilling causes metallic circuit lines contained within each substrate to melt and form a fused mass protruding a short distance out of the side of the drilled vias. Next, the drilled vias are plated with a conductive metal to thereby provide the interconnections.

Abstract: A system for vacuum depositing a material onto a sample having a surface recess, such as a hole or channel, therein. The system includes a vacuum chamber capable of attaining a high vacuum and a vacuum deposition source in the chamber for emitting atoms. An energy source is connected to the vacuum deposition source to initiate emission of the atoms therefrom. A sample having an upper surface disposed in the vacuum chamber opposite the vacuum deposition source is adapted to receive the atoms emitted from the vacuum deposition source. The sample has a surface recess therein with a wall substantially perpendicular to the plane of the sample. Finally, a component for eliminating undesirable depositing angles of atoms is disposed intermediate the vacuum deposition source and the sample in order to improve the ratio of recess wall to sample surface deposition.

Abstract: Method of coloring the erodible metal surface of a metallized record medium by overprinting discrete limited areas of the surface with one or more inks of preselected colors to provide a distinctive halftone tint to the surface without adversely affecting the recording quality of the medium during subsequent selective removal of the metal coating.
