  • Patent number: 10455280
    Abstract: A method and system for providing on-site content delivery and on-demand content access. The method comprising recording digital media content on a DMR device, managing distribution of the digital media content to one or more remote devices, automatically distributing the digital media content to the one or more remote devices, the distributed digital media content configured for local hosting at the one or more remote devices, and monitoring consumption of the digital media content distributed to the one or remote devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5179770
    Abstract: Three metal foils are simultaneously fed in opposing relationship through a machine which automatically fabricates a sheet metal sandwich structure therefrom. The foils are first tensioned in aligned opposing relationship. The center sheet is then fed through a pair of free floating gear shaped corrugator tools which form corrugations or undulations therein. Adhesive is then applied to the inner surfaces of the two outer foils and the three foils passed through a pair of drums which press the foils together between opposing metal bands and provide uniform heat thereto through the bands to effect curing of the adhesive. The foils are further pressed together between the bands by means of air diaphragms or bladders which provide hydraulically controlled clamping force thereto. Finally, the sandwich structure thus formed is trimmed and cut to form boards of the desired width and length.

  • Patent number: 4311419
    Abstract: An entry material for use in drilling circuit boards to avoid marring of such boards comprises a wood pulp-glass composite substrate having aluminum foil bonded to the opposite surfaces thereof. This entry material is relatively economical and has a stiffness sufficient to avoid upward bending or "oil canning" when pressure feet spaced from the drill are employed to hold the workpiece during drilling and further has enough strength to withstand high torsional drill forces with drills operating for high rates of material removal. The double layers of foil separated by the low heat conductive substrate material affords a pair of heat sinks which more effectively can carry away heat from the drill.

  • Patent number: 4269549
    Abstract: Backup material is formed from a pair of oppositely positioned metallic foil sheets between which an open metallic core having oppositely running node portions is sandwiched. The core may be sinusoidal with each node extending from one of the edges of the sheets to the opposite edges. This sandwich core backup material is placed beneath a printed circuit board to be drilled, such that with drilling, the drill penetrates through the top sheet and not the bottom sheet, thus terminating in the area of the open core. The backup material prevents the formation of burrs around the holes drilled in the circuit board and at the same time facilitates cooling the drill and the workpiece and the removal of cuttings therefrom.

  • Patent number: 4019826
    Abstract: A metal foil, of a metal such as aluminum, is held in place over the drilling entry surface of a circuit board to be drilled. The drill thus first enters the foil which acts as a shield which takes burrs, pressure foot marks and particle marks which would otherwise be imparted to the surface of the circuit board. Further, the foil provides an even surface for the drill entry which tends to minimize drill wander and resultant hole mis-alignment which could occur if initial entry were to be made at the circuit board surface which is often uneven. After drilling has been completed, the foil is removed.
