Abstract: There is provided a barrier film having a substrate, a low thermal conductivity organic layer and an inorganic stack. The inorganic stack will include a low thermal conductivity non-metallic inorganic material layer and a high thermal conductivity metallic material layer.

Abstract: Provided is an electrode having an insulating backing, a conductive path extending from a first major surface to a second major surface of the insulating backing, and an adhesive on at least one surface of the backing, wherein the electrode is attached to a grounding wire that is in electrical contact with the conductive path of the electrode.

Abstract: A method of forming a package includes forming a container comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material or intended to store an item comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material, and permanently attaching a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag to the container. The RFID tag includes an antenna held in a position at least partially extending outward from the container such that the antenna is not shielded from RF signals by any metal components of the container or any metal held in the container. In another aspect, a package includes a container comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material or intended to store an item comprising an RF blocking or attenuating material. The package also includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag permanently affixed to the container. The RFID tag includes an antenna held in a position at least partially extending outward from the container.

Abstract: A film material for use in packaging electrostatically sensitive components and corrosion sensitive components. The film material includes a static dissipative polymer attached to a first moisture barrier which in turn is attached to a second moisture barrier. The second moisture barrier has a low charge retaining coating. The first and second moisture barriers are separated by dielectric. Moisture barriers are formed by either a metal foil, or a metallized polymer in which the metallization thickness is at least 178 Angstroms thick. The metal of the second moisture barrier is in contact with the low charge retaining coating. The low charge retaining coating together with the metal in the second moisture barrier has a surface conductivity between 10?3 and 10?7 Siemens.

Abstract: A disposable grounding strap is provided. The disposable grounding strap includes an elongate conductive material uniformly conductive along its length. A first outer layer is coated with non-conductive heat sealable plastic on a side disposed adjacent to a first side of the conductive material, with the first outer layer having a width greater than the width of the conductive material. A second outer layer is coated with non-conductive heat sealable plastic on a side disposed adjacent to a second side of the conductive material, with the second outer layer having a width greater than the width of the conductive material. The non-conductive heat sealable plastic of the second outer layer is partially heat sealed to the non-conductive heat sealable plastic of the first outer layer along at least a portion of the length of the conductive material.

Abstract: A noncontact sensor detects the signal waveform of analog and digital signals transmitted individually and, alternately, in combination, in designated transmission frequency bands on a pair of conductors.
