Abstract: The drying characeteristics of a printing paste comprising a vehicle containing a binder and a low boiling point solvent are improved by substituting a high boiling point solvent for a portion of the low boiling point solvent without substantially adversely affecting the viscosity and flow properties of the paste. The printing paste is advantageously employed in silk screen printing in multiple passes where printed layers must have a uniform degree of wetness. The printing paste and vehicle are especially useful in the manufacture of microelectronic packages.

Abstract: The application discloses polymers and methods of making same in which a chlorine atom of a chloromethyl pendant group of a polymer such as a chloromethylated copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene is substituted with a derivative of malonic acid having a protected amino group on the alpha-carbon atom and two carboxyl groups or precursors thereof to form, via several steps, the alpha-amino acid derivative of the starting polymer. These polymers are used, for instance, as ion exchange resins, as substrates for affinity chromotography, and as a starting resin for solid peptide synthesis. The resultant polymer is also used as a starting material to make a polymer with a pendant group that is a derivative of oxazolidone-2,5-dione, substituted at the 4-position. These polymers are used, for example, as the matrix for solid phase peptide synthesis and as the starting resin for solid phase peptide degradation.

Abstract: In a glassmaking process, a pair of reciprocating blades are used to cut a stream of molten glass into discrete charges known as "gobs". The cutting surfaces of the shear blades are maintained in a spaced-apart relationship by pairs of raised portions or rails formed in or on the facing blade surfaces. The raised portions or rails of the blades keep the blades separated a specified distance and thereby extend the wear life of the blades by eliminating friction between the cutting surfaces of the blades. A solid film lubricant is applied to the blades and serves to lubricate both cutting surfaces of the blades, thus the blade surfaces that contact the molten glass stream are lubricated to avoid the possibility of the glass sticking to the shear blades.

Abstract: Plastic containers having internal reinforcing ribs are formed by a molding operation including pre-blow and final-blow steps. The pre-blow step includes inflating a blowable plastic parison into contact with the cavity walls of a first blow mold to form a blown pre-form, the cavity walls of the first blow mold including a plurality of concave grooves to form a pattern of convex or proturburent ribs on the outer periphery of the pre-form. The final-blow step includes positioning the blown, ribbed pre-form within a second or final blow mold having a cavity defined by substantially smooth wall surfaces conforming to the exterior configuration of the desired container. Next, the pre-form is blown to stretch and expand against the cavity walls of the second mold, during which step the convex ribs on the exterior of the pre-form are flattened, forming concave portions intermediate convex reinforcing ribs on the internal wall surface of the container.

Abstract: Disclosed is a physical blend of particulate lead borate sealing glass and particulate refractory filler for use in forming thermal fusion seals for workpieces having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the sealing glass. The particulate refractory filler has a particle size diameter in excess of about 37 microns (i.e. plus 400 U.S. Sieve) to lower the expansion while maintaining adequate flow during fusion. The blend is especially useful as a package sealant for electronic components.

Abstract: In accordance with the method and apparatus of this invention, glass-forming materials are subjected to heat and agitation sufficient to form a molten glass having mostly dissolved glass-forming materials, mostly completed chemical reactions between the glass-forming materials and containing a high number of gaseous inclusions, and containing up to 50 volume percent entrapped gases. This glass appears foamy. The molten glass is transferred to a second chamber to complete melting of any unmelted sand grains remaining from the glass-forming materials, and completes the chemical reactions that remain incompleted, and to remove any remaining cords, and to reduce the foamy character of the melt to a dense molten glass which contains only small-sized gaseous inclusions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making a blown plastic container having a concave pressure bottom configuration by blowing a pre-form into a container having a flat bottom, then contacting and deforming the flat bottom to reform the flat bottom into the desired pressure bottom configuration. The flat bottom is reformed by blowing, or by mechanical contact, or both blowing and contact, at a temperature conducive to multi-axial orientation to provide a pressure bottom of increased strength. To facilitate the performance of the method utilizing an initial parison formed by free extrusion, the present invention further contemplates smoothing out any pinch flash and distributing it on the bottom of the parison, so that the pinch flash will not interfere with subsequent forming of the bottom of the final container as above described.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making a blown plastic containeer having an arcuate pressure bottom configuration, preferably provided with integrally formed multiple thickness support walls or "skirts" surrounding the bottom.The method of making such containers is by blowing the container in a blow mold having telescopically movable portions for physically contacting and deforming a blowable parison or preform positioned in the blow mold. The parison contact and deformation aids in forming the bottom and/or the surrounding support walls, while providing a favorable blow-up ratio during the blowing operation. Further, the method can be carried out under conditions causing multi-axial orientation in the final container.
