  • Flashlight system
    Publication number: 20060077657
    Abstract: An energy efficient flashlight system having multiple lighting display modes and a single operating switch that enables a user to step through the modes. The flashlight illuminates via the use of a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that preferably contain at least two colors, such as red and white, and are designed to coordinate in order to provide the plurality of modes including an emergency signaling mode, a red map reading mode or directional pointing mode and a bright illumination mode. The flashlight enables a user to hold, operate and toggle between modes using a single hand.

  • Metallizing paste
    Patent number: 4940849
    Abstract: A metallizing paste capable of being used for screen printing applications which comprises tungsten powder and an organic vehicle system. The organic vehicle system can comprise a polymeric material, such as ethyl cellulose, and a solvent, such as terpineol and the paste preferably includes frit material, of alumina, cerium fluoride, bismuth oxide and silica and may also include manganese and/or nickel.There is also disclosed a semi-conductor package made using the metallization paste. The package includes conductive attachment area, conductive feed-through paths, conductive vias and a conductive external underside, all of which are formed using the metallization paste in various formulations.
