Abstract: A method for managing warpage in printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies. In embodiments, the method includes providing a plurality of substrates, analyzing surface planarity of a sample size of the plurality of substrates, categorizing the analyzed surface planarity into at least two different categories, creating a solder volume profile for each of the at least two different categories, selecting one of the plurality of substrates for use in a PCB assembly, determining which solder volume profile is applicable to the selected one of the plurality of substrates, and using the applicable solder volume profile to mount an electronic device on the selected substrate. In use, the solder profile volumes are used to form conductive connections between electronic components and a substrate.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a printed circuit board (PCB) including selectively etching copper foil at mapped areas corresponding to predefined radio-frequency (RF) signal performance of a device, for instance an active electrically scanned array (AESA). In embodiments, first and second RF performance areas of a device are mapped, the copper foil is etched at surface portions corresponding to the first RF performance areas to increase surface roughness, and the copper foil is bonded to a substate such that etched portions are aligned with the first RF performance areas of the PCB. In embodiments, the signal performance in the first RF performance areas is greater than the signal performance in the second RF performance areas.

Abstract: A system of circuit card components each include through-holes for soldering having recessed copper layers for thermal insulation. Thermal insulation prevents heat conduction away from flowing solder, allowing the solder to flow freely through the through-hole. Even high-temperature, lead-free solders may maintain the necessary temperature to flow. Different circuit layers include specialized features based on distance from a top or bottom surface. Vias surrounding the through-hole maintain the necessary cross-sectional area for electrical connectivity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention allow a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive relevant search results. Queries can be expressed using character sets and/or languages that are different from the character set and/or language of at least some of the data that is to be searched. A translation between these character sets and/or languages can be performed by examining the use of terms in aligned text. Probabilities can be associated with each possible translation. Refinements can be made to these probabilities by examining user interactions with the search results.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating or preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in a human neonate in need thereof, comprising administering to the neonate a pharmaceutically effective amount of a composition comprising a poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase/polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. Also contemplated herein is an infant food or treatment composition comprising a PARP inhibitor in an amount that is 5 to 500 times greater than a daily recommended intake dosage for the PARP inhibitor.

Abstract: An outboard motor is provided with two distinct and separate streams of air flowing through its cowl structure. One stream of air is intended to cool various heat emitting components under the cowl and the other stream of air is intended to provide required air for combustion within the cylinders of the engine. The two streams of air flow along first and second flow paths which are maintained in isolation with respect to each other so that the air in the two streams of air are not mixed together. In that way, heat is prevented from decreasing the density of the air stream flowing into the cylinders for combustion within the engine.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient suffering from a condition requiring vasodilator therapy, comprising long term, continuous adminstration of an organic nitrite to the patient in a dosage form capable of delivering a sufficient therapeutic amount of nitrite to the bloodstream of the patient thereby providing effective vasodilator therapy for at least 24 hours without the development of tolerance in the patient. The method of the invention is useful in treating conditions such as angina, particularly chronic, stable angina pectoris, ischemic diseases and congestive heart failure, and for controlling hypertension and/or impotence in male patients.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method of vasodilator therapy for treating a patient suffering from a condition, comprising long term, continuous administration of an organic nitrite to a patient suffering from the condition in a dosage form capable of delivering a sufficient therapeutic amount of nitrite to the blood stream of the patent thereby providing effective vasodilator therapy for at least 24 hours without development of tolerance in the patient. The method of the invention is useful in treating conditions such as, for example, angina, particularly chronic, stable angina pectoris, ischemic diseases, congestive heart failure, for controlling hypertension and/or impotence in male patients.Any conventional drug delivery system can be employed in carrying out the method of the invention. The drug delivery system can take virtually as many different forms as there are dosage forms available for delivery of nitrite to a patient.
