  • Patent number: 7122323
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for synthesizing a combinatorial library comprising a plurality of chemical compounds such that the chemical composition of each compound is easily tracked. The library compounds are synthesized on solid-phase supports, which are spatially arranged in frames during synthesis according to a predetermined protocol, such that each solid-phase support passes through a series of unique spatial 2D or 3D addresses by which the chemical composition of each compound may be determined at any point during synthesis. Solid-phase supports include hollow tubular-shaped lanterns and gears.

  • Publication number: 20050161632
    Abstract: An improved, more durable heat conductive composition for transferring heat from a heat-dissipating component to a heat dissipater and method of producing the same. The composition preferably comprises a base consisting of paraffin and, optionally, paraffin and petrolatum having electrically-conductive particles suspended therein, which preferably include graphite diamond, or elemental metals such as silver. In the preferred embodiment, the composition further includes a resin polymer to increase durability. The composition is formulated to be solid in the range of normal room temperatures, but liquify once subjected to temperatures just below the range at which heat generating electronic semi conductor devices typically operate. The present invention further comprises processes for packaging the compositions of the present invention, as well as applying the heat conductive composition to an interface between a heat-dissipating component and a heat sink.
