Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for managing the heat from a heat source like an electronic component. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system effective for dissipating the heat generated by an electronic component using a heat sink formed from a compressed, comminuted particles of resin-impregnated flexible graphite mat or sheet.

Abstract: Fluid permeable graphite article in the form of a glassy carbon coated perforated flexible graphite sheet useful as an electrode and electrically conductive backing material in flow-through type electrical capacitors.

Abstract: The invention presented relates to a process for providing increased electrical and/or thermal conductivity to a material, and to the materials prepared by the process. More particularly, the invention relates to a process involving applying particles of expanded graphite to a substrate or material in order to increase its conductivity. The particles of expanded graphite can be applied to the substrate or material through coating of the substrate with a composition comprising the expanded graphite particles, or by incorporating particles of expanded graphite into the substrate or material itself.

Abstract: Thermal insulating device for high temperature reactors and furnaces utilizing highly active chemical gases in a reducing atmosphere, in the form of a shell of resin bonded flexible graphite sheet.

Abstract: A release lined pressure sensitive adhesive flexible graphite sheet article is provided having low thermal resistance properties comparable to the flexible graphite material itself when compared to prior art PSA sheet products and wherein the release liner is easily removed with the sheet is to be used without any significant delamination of the flexible graphite. The flexible graphite sheet comprises a flexible graphite substrate, an adhesive primer coating thereon, a pressure sensitive adhesive coating on the adhesive primer coating and a release liner applied to the pressure sensitive adhesive coating. Double sided pressure sensitive adhesive flexible graphite sheets can also be made using the method of the invention.

Abstract: Intercalated graphite flake which has enhanced exfoliation volume characteristics at relatively low exfoliation temperatures e.g. 600.degree. C. is made by heating a blend of intercalated particles and an organic reducing agent in the temperature range of 25.degree. to 110.degree. C.

Abstract: Flexible graphite sheet is made by compressing a mixture of fine particle of intercalated, exfoliated, expanded natural graphite with fine particles of intercalated, unexpanded, expandable particles of natural graphite, the unexpanded particles being more finely sized than the expanded particles. The resulting sheet of flexible graphite exhibits improved fire retardant and sealability properties.

Abstract: Flexible graphite sheet having embedded ceramic fibers extending from its opposite planar surfaces into the sheet to provide permeability of the sheet to gases so that it is useful as an electrode in electrochemical fuel cells.

Abstract: A self-contained apparatus for forming metal sheet is adapted for operation within a standard double action press having a base and outer and inner vertically reciprocating slides and includes a basic die mountable to the press and specific tooling replaceably mountable to the basic die. The basic die includes an upper shoe mountable to the outer slide, a lower shoe mountable atop the base and hydraulic cylinder assemblies connected to the lower shoe and mechanically actuatable by the inner slide for providing pressurized fluid to the specific tooling. The specific tooling includes mating upper and lower dies connected to the corresponding upper and lower shoes and movable between open and closed positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dampening apparatus for lithographic offset printing presses. A form roller having an ink receptive compressible surface is pressed against a plate on the plate cylinder, and a metering means lying parallel and tangent to the form roller having a relatively incompressible ink receptive surface is pressed against the form roller. A reservoir of dampening solution is maintained above the nip of the form roller and metering roller, and is automatically maintained. Rotation of the form roller results in a metered quantity of solution being fed to the form roller, a portion of that quantity being applied to the lithographic plate, and the excess of that quantity being returned to the supply.
