  • Patent number: 6841026
    Abstract: A simple, inexpensive, drillable, reduced CTE laminate and circuitized structures comprising the reduced CTE laminate, is provided. One embodiment of the reduced CTE laminate comprises: from about 40% to 75%, preferably from about 55% to 65%, by weight resin; from about 0.05% to 0.3%, preferably from about 0.08% to 0.10%, by weight curing agent; from about 25% to 60%, preferably from about 30% to 40%, by weight, woven cloth; from about 1% to 15%, preferably from about 5% to 10%, by volume, non-woven quartz mat. The method for making reduced CTE laminate and laminate structures comprises the following steps: providing non-woven quartz mat; providing a prepreg, preferably B-stage cured to not more than about 40%, preferably not more than 30% of full cure; sandwiching the non-woven quartz mat between two layers of prepreg, and reflowing the resin of the prepreg into the quartz mat.

  • Patent number: 6485892
    Abstract: Through-holes in a substrate are masked during plating of the substrate by substantially filling the through-holes with a liquid material, followed by applying a photoimageable material to an external surface of the substrate, forming a predetermined pattern in the photoimageable material, circuitizing the predetermined pattern and then removing both the photoimageable material and the liquid material from the through-holes.

  • Patent number: 5988348
    Abstract: A coin discrimination apparatus and method is provided. Coins, preferably after cleaning, e.g. using a trommel, are singulated by a coin pickup assembly configured to reduce jamming. A coin rail assists in providing separation between coins as they travel past a sensor. The sensor provides an oscillating electromagnetic field generated on a single sensing core. The oscillating electromagnetic field is composed of one or more frequency components. The electromagnetic field interacts with a coin, and these interactions are monitored and used to classify the coin according to its physical properties. All frequency components of the magnetic field are phase-locked to a common reference frequency. The phase relationships between the various frequencies are fixed, and the interaction of each frequency component with the coin can be accurately determined without the need for complicated electrical filters.

  • Patent number: 5773132
    Abstract: A method of minimizing forming of white spots and delamination of a copper plane bonded to one surface of a dielectric material following additive pattern plating of copper onto the other surface of the material and in vias contacting the copper plane utilizing a plating solution containing a reducing agent and the resulting product is provided. The surface of the copper which has been bonded to the one surface of the dielectric has been treated, preferably by a sodium chlorite treatment to form a chemical roughened surface of copper oxide (CuO and CuO(II)) on the copper. Prior to the bonding, the roughened surface of the copper oxide is treated with a solution such as benzotriazole, which complexes with the copper oxide to prevent formation of white spots and delamination as a result of such plating.
