  • Patent number: 4780309
    Abstract: A procedure for preparing a palatable aerosol foam of unpleasant edible oil containing up to 80% oil is disclosed. This has been achieved by incorporating an inorganic complexing agent, water, a sweetening agent, a sensory masking agent and a propellant present in an amount sufficient by itself to function as the whipping agent and propellant into the oil to form a pleasant tasting suspension without an oily mouthfeel, unpalatable taste and unpleasant odor. Each teaspoon of aerosol foam will contain from about 2 to 4 grams of oil.

  • Patent number: 4775574
    Abstract: A covering member of keyboard prepared by separately fixing the push button elements to a base plate instead of integral molding is disclosed in which the plate has openings arranged conforming to the pattern of the fixed contact points on the circuit board. Fixing is carried out by using a silicone rubber-based adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive optionally with the aid of tailing of protrusions on the base plate into the cavity of the base of the push button elements. A method of using unit bodies carrying push button elements is alternatively used. A base plate having openings arranged in the pattern corresponding to the fixed contact points is also disclosed for use in fixing the push button elements.

  • Patent number: 4775573
    Abstract: A multilayer printed circuit board which reliably and economically marries conventional copper clad printed circuit board technology with polymeric conductors and insulators. Reliability is enhanced by forming all solder pads of copper, providing conductive tails on solder pads which are to be connected by polymeric inks, and ultimately forming a solder resist over all but the solder pads. As a result, polymer inks can be applied to both sides of the board, and the completed board can be subject to conventional solder dipping or wave soldering operations. According to one feature of the invention, a thin dielectric layer can be applied as intermediate to planar conductive layers which form a power plane having built-in distributed capacitance for decoupling.

  • Patent number: 4774126
    Abstract: A low cost thermoplastic material having a low heat distortion (HDT) thermoplastic material forms the main structural component of a structural member. A relatively high cost high HDT thermoplastic material is attached to the low cost main structural component and is plated with a solderable metallic coating. The coating can be attached to other structures with relatively higher temperature molten solder with negligible distortion. The structural member may be, for example, an electrical shield to be soldered to a printed circuit board or a printed circuit board whose core is low HDT material and exterior is high HDT material.

  • Patent number: 4773955
    Abstract: A printed wiring board comprising a plastic material is formed with a through opening for mounting electronic parts therein, and the end of the opening on the rear side of the board is closed by a metal sheet bonded to the area around the opening end on the rear of the board through an adhesive layer. The inside wall and bottom face of the opening in the board are coated with an integral plating film as are the rear surfaces of the board an metal sheet. According to this board structure, the heat generated from electronic parts mounted on the bottom of the opening is dispersed by the metal sheet, and also penetration of moisture into the opening through the plastic material and the adhesive layer, as occurs with conventional boards, is prevented by the plating film.
