Abstract: A fabricating process for a multi-layer printed circuit board containing embedded passive components is provided. The method includes a calibration step wherein a calibration measurement is taken of the geometry or at least one electrical parameter of an arrangement of calibration test points for a circuit forming process, such as masking, etching and/or lamination. A process control step is performed during the process, wherein a process control measurement is taken of at least one electrical parameter at one or more process control test points along one or more axes outside areas in which a circuit is to be formed. An analysis is performed of at least the calibration measurement and the process control measurement to calculate a CAD geometry change required to improve precision of embedded passive components to be printed on the multi-layer printed circuit board.

Abstract: Metal objects are treated by anodising the metal object in contact with an acidic solution, and then subjecting the anodised metal object to a reversed voltage (compared to the anodising voltage). The thus-treated metal object is then contacted with a biocidal metal-containing solution. Biocidal metal is deposited on the surface of the metal object, resulting in improved biocidal properties.

Abstract: An implant with a metal structure for use in a surgical procedure, in which at least part of the metal structure is coated with a biocompatible metal such as titanium by plasma spraying of the metal powder. Biocidal metal cations are then absorbed by ion exchange into the coating, so that after being implanted the biocidal ions gradually leach out into the surrounding body fluids and suppress infection. The ion exchange properties of the coating may be modified by pretreatment with dilute phosphoric acid.
