  • INTEGRATED STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF FABRICATION THEREOF WITH FAN-OUT METALLIZATION ON A CHIPS-FIRST CHIP LAYER
    Publication number: 20080315391
    Abstract: Electronic modules and methods of fabrication are provided implementing a first metallization level directly on a chips-first chip layer. The chips-first layer includes chips, each with a pad mask over an upper surface and openings to expose chip contact pads. Structural dielectric material surrounds and physically contacts the side surfaces of the chips, and has an upper surface which is parallel to an upper surface of the chips. A metallization layer is disposed over the front surface of the chips-first layer, residing at least partially on the pad masks of the chips, and extending over one or more edges of the chips. Together, the pad masks of the chips, and the structural dielectric material electrically isolate the metallization layer from the edges of the chips, and from one or more electrical structures of the chips in the chips-first layer.

  • Saw blade tooth geometry for circular saw blade
    Publication number: 20080307941
    Abstract: A circular saw blade includes a generally flat disk with a cutting periphery defined by a plurality of carbide teeth arranged in spaced relation around the perimeter of the disk and projecting radially outwardly from the disk. Each tooth of the cutting periphery includes a pair of spaced-apart primary side faces, a cutting face having a cutting edge with a top bevel angle within the range of at least 25 degrees to about 50 degrees, and at least two secondary side faces. Each secondary side face extends between the cutting face and a respective one of the pair of primary side faces and has a relief angle relative to the immediately adjoining primary side face. The circular saw blade of the present invention is ably suited to provide a smooth cutting finish without splintering of the top and bottom edges in connection with a wide variety of cuts, including crosscutting and ripcutting.

  • Method of Determining an Initial Pressure in a Motor Vehicle Brake System
    Publication number: 20080231108
    Abstract: A method of determining an initial pressure which prevails between a master brake cylinder and an inlet valve of a wheel brake cylinder of a motor vehicle brake system. It determines the initial pressure taking into consideration the variation of a follow-up voltage of a clock-operated motor of a pump, which is used for the return delivery of brake fluid from a low-pressure accumulator into the master brake cylinder. Several characteristic quantities of the voltage variation are measured and in each case taken into account to determine an initial pressure value, and the quality and/or reliability of the measured characteristic quantities is evaluated. The characteristic quantities and/or the initial pressure values determined therefrom are filtered and/or conditioned in the event of lack in quality and/or reliability of the measured characteristic quanitites.
