  • Method and apparatus for fabricating abrasive tools
    Patent number: 6609964
    Abstract: Methods for orienting fibers and an apparatus for orienting fibers are provided for the fabrication of improved thin abrasive wheels utilizing uniform non-woven fiber reinforcement discs. The wheels are more resistant to hub push-out failure during grinding than wheels reinforced with woven fiber cloth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2003
    Assignee: Saint-Gobain Abrasives Technology Company

  • Method of manufacture multichip module substrate
    Patent number: 5287619
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an MCM substrate product is manufactured in an additive process using multiple layers of a fluoropolymer composite material and copper. The copper layers are plated, and the fluoropolymer composite layers are laminated. A seeding process promotes reliable bonding between the fluoropolymer composite material and the plated copper. The use of the filled fluoropolymeric composite eliminates the need for a barrier metal layer between the insulation and the conductors. The MCM substrate device of the present invention may have multiple metal layers and multiple dielectric layers; four or five, or more, of each in a single structure would be easily achieved and is typical. The structure would include lead lines in separate mutually orthogonal planes (sometimes referred to as "x" and "y" lead lines) sandwiched between ground and power voltage planes of copper.
