  • COMMON CARRIER
    Publication number: 20070226972
    Abstract: A method for mounting a film, used to fabricate a mask for use in screening an electronic device, to a common carrier frame. The common carrier frame has an outer edge along an outer periphery and an opening in a central portion of the frame. The method includes applying external pressure to the frame outer edge to compress the frame inward and reduce the opening, securing a film to the frame, the film covering the frame opening, and releasing the pressure on the frame to expand the opening and place the film in tension.

  • HIGH VOLUME BRUSH CLEANING APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20070056138
    Abstract: A method for the rapid removal of unwanted debris from a substrate such as an electronic component like unfired greensheets employs a high velocity straight through brush design. This brush employs a large chamber housing and vacuum slots, which create a high velocity vacuum draw for the rapid removal of unwanted ceramic materials. The brush is retained in a brush retainer that preferably utilizes dovetail slots to facilitate easy insertion and removal from the brush retainer.
