  • Patent number: 10015888
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a mechanism for forming an interconnect comprising forming a connector on an interconnect disposed on a first surface of a first substrate and applying a nonconductive material in a non-liquid form over the interconnect after forming the connector. The nonconductive material covers at least a lower portion of the interconnect, and at least a portion of the interconnect is exposed. The nonconductive material is formed around the connector by pressing the nonconductive material over the connector with a roller.

  • Patent number: 9997491
    Abstract: A method of determining curing conditions is for determining the curing conditions of a thermosetting resin to seal a conductive part between a substrate and an electronic component. A curing degree curve is created. The curing degree curve indicates, with respect to each of heating temperatures, relationship between heating time and curing degree of the thermosetting resin. On the basis of the created curing degree curve, a void removal time of a void naturally moving upward in the thermosetting resin, at a first heating temperature, is calculated. The first heating temperature is one of the heating temperatures.

  • Patent number: 9997885
    Abstract: A method is for producing a cable which comprises a conductor and a barrel. The conductor has individual wires and is enclosed, at least in portions, by a piece of insulation. The conductor is heated and a crimping process is carried out for electrically contacting the barrel with the conductor. The barrel is pressed together with the heated conductor during the crimping process in such a way that the conductor is initially compressed on a first axial sub-portion of the conductor and subsequently the compression of the conductor is spread to a larger second axial sub-portion.

  • Patent number: 9962947
    Abstract: A print element substrate is absorbed and held by a handling jig to define a predetermined location and position of the print element substrate with respect to the supporting member. In this instance, the handling jig is provided with a convex portion. Therefore, when the print element substrate is joined to the supporting member, the convex portion comes into contact with a surface of the supporting member, so that it is possible to define the height of the print element substrate with respect to the joining surface. This makes it possible to control the amount and height of squash by the print element substrate exerted on the adhesive agent applied on the joining surface. It is possible to prevent the redundant adhesive agent from spilling out in a print liquid flow path.

  • Patent number: 9865979
    Abstract: An assembly has a handle, a brush holder, and a support that connect and disconnect to each other using a locking mechanism. The handle reversibly connects and disconnects from the brush holder. The locking mechanism includes a connecting member on the brush holder that attaches to the handle by interaction of a locking flange on the connecting member with a pair of teeth inside of the handle. Insertion of the support within the brush holder extends a post on the support through the connecting member to interact with the handle and enable disconnection of the handle from the brush holder when the support is fully engaged by the brush holder. The locking mechanism prevents the handle from releasing from the brush holder before the brush holder is completely seated on the support.
