  • Gas venting component mounting pad
    Patent number: 7709744
    Abstract: Venting for component mounting pads of surface mount circuit boards allows the escape of gases from the junction between an electrical component and its associated mounting pad during soldering and facilitates a more complete and effective solder joint between the component base and pad. The venting may be accomplished by either one or more through holes in the board through the pads to allow undesirable gases to escape to the underside of the board, or by one or more solder free channels formed in the pad to allow the gases to escape through the periphery of the pad.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 30, 2007
    Date of Patent: May 4, 2010
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Richard C. Schaefer, Steven Pollock, Charles M. Bailley, Mike Lowe, Andrew J. Balk, John G. Oldendorf

  • Method and apparatus for activating a bleed circuit through logic in response to a back-driven voltage on a supply voltage plane
    Patent number: 7028194
    Abstract: A technique usable with a computer includes in response to the computer being in a predetermined sleep state, coupling a load to conduct current from a supply voltage plane of the computer to ground. The supply voltage plane does not receive power from a power resource of the computer in response to the predetermined sleep state. In response to the computer being in a predetermined state other than the predetermined sleep state, the load is decoupled so that the load does not conduct current from the supply voltage plane to ground.
