  • Patent number: 7047637
    Abstract: Method of manufacture of a composite wiring structure for use with at least one semiconductor device, the structure having a first conductive member upon which the semiconductor device can be mounted for electrical connection thereto. A dielectric member, made of ceramic or organo-ceramic composite material, is bonded to the first conductive member and contains embedded therein a conductive network and a thermal distribution network. A second conductive member may be incorporated with the composite wiring structure, with a capacitor electrically connected between the conductive network and the second conductive member. Bonding between the dielectric member and the conductive members may be in the form of a direct covalent bond formed at a temperature insufficient to adversely effect the structural integrity of the conductive network and the thermal distribution network.

  • Patent number: 5547736
    Abstract: A plastic sheet, preferably of plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral, for a laminated safety glazing, having means dispersed on its surface, preferably comprising a multiplicity of spaced projections, capable of resisting adhesion to a rigid panel, such as glass, of such a glazing when the sheet is laminated to the panel, the area of the sheet surface without such dispersed means having high affinity for adhesion. The projections physically block adhesion of a dispersed area of the sheet to the panel in that the means on the sheet surface have no or weak interfacial adhesion. The multiplicity of space projections also have low or no affinity for adhesion when in blocking contact with each other or with another plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral surface and thereby increase blocking resistance.

  • Patent number: 5342653
    Abstract: A method of producing plasticized partial polyvinyl butyral sheet having a desired level of potential adhesion to glass which comprises: i) providing partial polyvinyl butyral resin having a high affinity for adhesion to glass when in sheet form under laminating conditions of elevated temperature and pressure, ii) mixing the resin with plasticizer to form a heat-shapable formulation, iii) extruding the formulation to form a sheet, and iv) applying a multiplicity of spaced anti-adhesion projections to the surface of the sheet to an extent effective to counteract the high adhesion of the sheet to glass between projections.

  • Patent number: 4973511
    Abstract: A laminated window construction includes a solar control film formed by a flexible plastic substrate such as a PET sheet having on one surface a multilayer solar coating. This multilayer solor coating includes at least one thin layer of metal and at least one adjacent adherent layer of a dielectric material. An energy absorbing safety film of the type normally used in shatterproof glass laminates (e.g., plasticized PVB) is bonded to at least one side, and preferably both sides, of the solar control film to form a composite solar/safety film. This composite solar/safety film is specially designed to contribute, after incorporation into a glass laminate, no more than about two percent of visible reflection (based on total incident visible radiation) which has the effect of substantially masking the visible effects of wrinkles in the solar control film substrate (i.e., the wrinkles are made less visible).
