  • ESD footwear grounding system
    Patent number: 6307727
    Abstract: This invention relates to a footwear grounding device to reduce static charge buildup on personnel handling electronic components and products that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. The device incorporates a conductive strap having reusable adhesive elements near one end which permit proper positioning of the strap in the user's shoe and prevent the strap from shifting out of said position during the course of the day.

  • Personal data card fabricated from a polymer thick-film circuit
    Patent number: 5272596
    Abstract: A personal data card (10) is fabricated from a polymer thick-film circuit (12) formed of a polymer sheet (14) having a plurality of pads (16 and 17) and interconnecting paths (18) printed thereon with a copper-filled polymer ink. Each of a selected set of the pads (16) has a layer of nickel (22) applied to it, and then a layer of gold (24) applied above the nickel, to facilitate wire bonding of each of a plurality of aluminum leads (21), associated with a semiconductor die (19), to a corresponding pad. Use of such a polymer thick-film circuit (12) in the fabrication of the data card (10) reduces the cost of the card.
