Patent number: 12023947Abstract: A protective barrier well suited for use in sublimation printing is made primarily from cellulose fibers. The protective barrier, which can comprise an uncoated paper, can be used to prevent sublimation inks from bleeding through a fabric onto the printing equipment. The uncoated paper is recyclable and can enter the paper recycle stream. The uncoated paper can contain first cellulose fibers combined and blended with second cellulose fibers that differ in fiber length and/or in the degree of refining. The uncoated paper is constructed to have a relatively low diffusivity.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: SWM Holdings US, LLCInventors: Hugues Alvarez, Gilbert Descouens, Augustin Salasca, Laurent Vives, Christophe Combe

Patent number: 6651869Abstract: A method of wave soldering a circuit board while avoiding reflow of a solder joint on the topside of the board from heat conducted from the solder wave through at least one via in the board in heat conducting relation with the topside solder joint, comprises subjecting the circuit board to a solder wave and absorbing heat being conducted from the solder wave through the at least one via with an endothermic material in the via hole which undergoes a heat absorbing reaction. The heat absorbing reaction of the endothermic material is preferably a phase change, such as melting. The melted endothermic material is retained in the via hole during wave soldering by capillary forces and a cap on the lower end of the via hole. A disclosed method of making the circuit board includes locating the endothermic material in the via hole by inserting a preform of the endothermic material into the via hole or hot dispensing the endothermic material into the via hole.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Raiyomand F.
