Publication number: 20160012932Abstract: A composite formulation and electrical component are disclosed. The composite formulation includes a polymer matrix having at least 15% crystallinity and process-aid-treated copper-containing particles blended with the polymer matrix including higher aspect ratio particles and lower aspect ratio particles. The higher ratio particles and the lower ratio particles produce a decreased percolation threshold for the composite formulation when processed by extrusion or molding, the decreased percolation threshold being compared to a similar composition that fails to include the first particle and the second particles. The electrical component includes a composite product produced from the composite formulation and is selected from the group consisting of an antenna, electromagnetic interference shielding device, a connector housing, and combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Applicant: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Aaron Holm, Dominique Freckmann, Jennifer L.

Patent number: 7651384Abstract: The present invention generally comprises a method and an apparatus for recycling electrochemical mechanical polishing (ECMP) fluid. A selected portion of used ECMP fluid may be delivered to a recycling unit where the fluid may be refurbished. The concentration of the components that are present in the selected portion of used ECMP fluid may be measured. Based upon the measurements, individual components of the ECMP fluid may be selectively dosed into the selected portion in an amount sufficient to ensure that the selected portion of used ECMP fluid, once refurbished, contains the appropriate concentration of components. Alternatively, a predetermined amount of virgin ECMP fluid may be added to the selected portion. The refurbished ECMP fluid may be recycled into an ECMP system for use in another ECMP process.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2007Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Josh H.

Patent number: 7601264Abstract: Embodiments herein provide waste abatement apparatuses and methods for treating waste solutions derived from depleted or used plating solutions, such as from an electroless deposition process or an electrochemical plating process. The waste abatement systems and processes may be used to treat the waste solutions by lowering the concentration of, if not completely removing, metal ions or reducing agents that are dissolved within the waste solution. In one embodiment of a demetallization process, a waste solution may be exposed to a heating element (e.g., copper coil) contained within an immersion tank. In another embodiment, the waste solution may be exposed to a catalyst having high surface area (e.g., steel wool or other metallic wool) within an immersion tank. In another embodiment, the waste solution may be flowed through a removable, catalytic conduit (e.g., copper tubing) having an internal catalytic surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Josh H.

Patent number: 6582605Abstract: A method of treating industrial wastewaters is provided. Specifically, the wastewater includes one or more organic contaminant materials and is pre-treated prior to filtering by the following steps The pH of the wastewater is adjusted to a pH in the range of about 2 to 6, and a combination of iron salts and peroxide are added to the wastewater and allowed to react for a period of at least about three minutes. Next, the pH of the wastewater is adjusted upwards to a value of at least 7 and precipitating or flocculating agents are added to form an insoluble contaminant bearing compound.
