Publication number: 20240138064Abstract: A method of fabricating a multilayer circuit board is provided which includes forming a layer of a the multilayer circuit board with an internal clearance region having a modified voltage-to-ground clearance of conductive material adjacent to an aperture of the multilayer circuit board. The modified voltage-to-ground clearance of conductive material is based on a configuration of a connector pin to be press-fit connected within the aperture of the multilayer circuit board, and the internal clearance region is enlarged in a direction of greatest normal force outward from the aperture with insertion of the connector pin into the aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: James D. BIELICK, Theron Lee LEWIS, David J. BRAUN, John R. DANGLER, Timothy P. YOUNGER, Stephen Michael HUGO, Timothy JENNINGS

Publication number: 20120310326Abstract: A tube which circumferentially distends from its initial circumference upon the application of a circumferentially distending force such as applied by an internal pressure, and which exhibits minimal recoil following the removal of the circumferentially distending force. The tube preferably has a second circumference larger than the initial circumference which remains substantially unchanged by further increasing force once it has been achieved. Because of the distensible circumference and minimal recoil of the tube, the tube is useful as a liner for pipes and vessels and particularly for pipes and vessels having irregular internal surfaces to which the tube can smoothly conform. The tube is preferably made from porous PTFE with thin walls, in which form it is particularly useful as a liner for both living and prosthetic blood vessels and to line anastomoses between living and prosthetic blood vessels.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: December 6, 2012Inventors: Carey V. Campbell, Alvaro J. Laguna, James D. Lewis, Mark E. Mayrand, David J. Myers
