  • BGA component masking dam and a method of manufacturing with the BGA component masking dam
    Patent number: 11172580
    Abstract: The proposed masking dam protects ball grid array integrated circuit components from conformal coating overflow, preventing joint breakage and thermal mismatch. The masking dam includes a frame with an integrated seal, a cover, and a fastening mechanism. The frame is sealed to a circuit board surround a component, the cover is attached to the frame, and the masking dam is secured to protect the component.

  • Heater control architecture for an ice protection system
    Patent number: 8466390
    Abstract: A heater control structure for an ice protection system is disclosed that includes a first multi-role logic block having a first scheduler to schedule the operation of an array of heaters and a first controller to control a first group of heaters within the array of heaters, wherein the first scheduler communicates with a first private data bus and the first controller communicates with a second private data bus, and wherein the first scheduler and the first controller communicate with one another over a first pair of inter-channel data busses.
