Abstract: 3D printing material in direct contact with edge of a glass core in IC packages to additively form a frame. Multiple such cores may be reconstituted into a panel that may then be built-up with routing metallization and assembled with IC die. Layers of printed material may be built up to form a frame with approximately the same thickness as the glass core and of any desired lateral width. The printed material may be an organic polymer or inorganic composition including metallics and ceramics. Beads of different material composition may be printed in succession to vary mechanical, electrical and/or thermal properties. A portion of the protective frame may be retained on an edge of the glass core when panels are singulated into package substrate units. Frame material may also be printed upon edges of glass-cored package units after their singulation.

Abstract: In the various aspects, a wafer protection/coating material is provided with luminescent additives and is deposited over a BGA or a plurality of solder bumps as a protective layer during a laser scribe, a laser full cut, and/or plasma singulation process. The inclusion of luminescent additives facilitates assessing, in-line, the coating quality, i.e., thickness, specifically the coverage of the wafer protection material on top of the solder bumps using luminescent detection metrology. In an aspect, the wafer protection material may be water-soluble and may be removed after the laser/plasma process step using water.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a patternable TBDB for assembling 3D assemblies such as IC/optical assemblies are provided. A patternable TBDB adhesive may be formed using silicone based TBDB adhesives with incorporated photocatalysts to allow for patterning of the TBDB adhesive layer.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include electronic packages. In an embodiment, the electronic package comprises a die, and an array of pillars adjacent to the die. In an embodiment, the electronic package further comprises an underfill under the die, where an edge of the underfill is between an inner column of pillars in the array of pillars and an outer edge of the die, and where the edge of the underfill has a height that is less than a maximum height of the underfill.

Abstract: A porous electrospun polymeric nanofiber liquid filtration medium, such as an electrospun mats, used for the removal of viral particles (e.g., parvovirus) and other particles in the 18 nm to 30 nm size range from fluid streams, having a mean flow bubble point measured with perfluorohexane above 100 psi. The electrospun medium includes nanofibers having an average fiber diameter of about 6 nm to about 13 nm, and the nanofiber liquid filtration medium has a mean pore size ranging from about 0.01 ?m to about 0.03 ?m, a porosity ranging from about 80% to about 95%, a thickness ranging from about 1 ?m to about 100 ?m, and a liquid permeability greater than about 10 LMH/psi. The high porosity of the electrospun mats enable much higher water fluxes, thus reducing the time required to complete virus filtration steps on a fluid stream.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a system that in one form is a referral system for use in various healthcare sectors, which utilizes patient profiles, created using patient trackers, to monitor patient follow-up care. The instant invention allows physicians and providers to communicate about patient’s care in its entirety, beginning with the originating provider creating a patient tracker, sharing that patient tracker with referred physicians, and discharging the patient once the patient tracker’s plans have concluded. This uninterrupted flow of communication amongst all providers and physicians allows for a secured method of tracking each patient’s healthcare plan, provides for efficient healthcare referral follow-ups, and updates the originating HCPs records to ensure there are no gaps in terms of patient treatment.

Abstract: An abrasive article may include an organic bond material, abrasive particles contained within the organic bond material and a plasticizer contained within the organic bond material. The plasticizer may include at least one of an aromatic phenyl group, a heteroaromatic furyl group, or a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon. The plasticizer may further include a polar group.

The electrospun medium includes nanofibers having an average fiber diameter of about 6 nm to about 13 nm, and the nanofiber liquid filtration medium has a mean pore size ranging from about 0.01 um to about 0.03 um, a porosity ranging from about 80% to about 95%, a thickness ranging from about 1 um to about 100 um, and a liquid permeability greater than about 10 LMH/psi. The high porosity of the electro-spun mats enable much higher water fluxes, thus reducing the time required to complete virus filtration steps on a fluid stream.

Abstract: A method and process for the treatment of wastewater containing phosphorous and nitrogen. The wastewater is first anaerobically treated to produce an anaerobic effluent from which insoluble organic carbon is separated to form a sludge rich in organic carbon that is used as a substrate during anoxic treatment of the wastewater by de-nitrifying phosphorous accumulating organisms (DPAO's) and ordinary de-nitrifying organisms. The separation of insoluble organic carbon is normally conducted using a clarifier located intermediate the anaerobic and anoxic bio-reactors. In one embodiment, the ammonia rich clarifier supernatant is directed to an aerobic reactor for nitrification and the nitrate produced is recycled to the anoxic bio-reactor. The final effluent may be membrane filtered to retain nitrifying biomass within the aerobic bio-reactor. The invention reduces overall hydraulic residence time and sludge volume, which results in a smaller, less expensive wastewater treatment system.
