  • Spincast fishing reel having multipiece rear cover assembly
    Patent number: 6641070
    Abstract: A fishing reel includes a reel frame to which a cover is attached so as to enclose various internal components. The cover defines a configured opening in which an insert piece is received. One or more screws or other suitable fasteners extend between the insert piece and the reel frame to trap the cover into secure engagement with the reel frame. Thus, the cover may be attached without an external attachment mechanism as has often been required in the past.

  • Sputtering method for reducing hillocking in aluminum layers formed on substrates
    Patent number: 4891112
    Abstract: Hillock formation in a layer of aluminum sputtered from a target onto a substrate is reduced by applying a potential to the substrate sufficient to cause some resputtering of some aluminum from the deposited layer while at the same time sputtered aluminum from a target is being deposited onto the surface of the substrate. Aluminum grain size in the deposited layer is reduced to the extent that stress is relieved.
