  • Laminate constructs for micro-fluid ejection devices
    Patent number: 9144969
    Abstract: A micro-fluid ejection head has an ejection chip to expel fluid. It connects to a laminate construct. The construct has vertically configured wiring layers interspersed with non-conductive layers, such as carbon fiber layers. An upper of the wiring layers electrically connects to the ejection chip. The upper layer may also support a planar undersurface of the chip directly on a surface or in a recessed pocket. The two can connect with a die bond, such as one having silica or boron nitride. Fluid connections exist between ink feed slots of the chip and the laminate construct. A silicon tile or other material may also fluidly interconnect with the two. A plastic manifold optionally supports the laminate construct and may fluidly connect to it. The wiring layers of the laminate contemplate ground, power, and various bond pads. Other construct layers contemplate prepreg or core FR4 layers.

  • METHOD FOR DEPOSITING AND CURING NANOPARTICLE-BASED INK
    Publication number: 20150189761
    Abstract: A method for forming a conductive pattern on a substrate deposits, onto a surface of the substrate, a nanoparticle ink that comprises nanoparticles of a conductive or semiconductor material, at least one low boiling point solvent, and from 0.1 weight % to 50 weight % of a high boiling point solvent. The method forms a partially wet patterned substrate by drying the deposited nanoparticle ink to a wetness range between about 3 weight % and 8 weight % solvent. The method directs a patterned illumination of laser light to cure the deposited ink pattern on the partially wet patterned substrate.

  • RODENT RUN
    Publication number: 20150107525
    Abstract: A rodent enclosure dimensioned in length, width and height so as to allow a rodent to run freely along the length of the enclosure, but not turn around without standing on its hind legs. The enclosure has a floor with bars extending transversely to allow access for a force sensor's probe from below. A force measurement device for use with the rodent enclosure to measure the tactile response of a rodent comprising a measurement probe connected to a device body. The probe has a tip which can be engaged with a rodent's paw through the floor of the enclosure. The device body has a fixed body part and a rotatable body part arranged to allow relative rotation between them. A rotation sensor detects the relative rotation and outputs a measurement parameter having values that are calibrated against force values associated with forces applied to the probe's tip.
