  • Publication number: 20080302496
    Abstract: A continuous filler treatment process has been developed to enhance the fixation of anionic latex on filler in a short time. In this process anionic polymer dispersions (latex) are added to common papermaking filler slurries at ambient temperature and then mixed with water of temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex used. To efficiently fix the latex the temperature of the filler/latex mixture must be 30-60° C. higher than the Tg of the latex used. The chemical composition of the resin and the type of surfactant used during the emulsion polymerisation process of the polymer latex dispersions are important factors for efficiently fixing the latex onto the filler by adding hot water and improving the properties of paper made with the treated filler. The enhanced fixation of anionic latex onto filler using hot water is done in mixing vessels that can control shear and mixing time.

  • Publication number: 20080012099
    Abstract: An electronics assembly having a reduced need for wire bonds is provided. The electronics assembly includes a substrate having upper and lower surfaces. An electronic circuit device having conducting pads is attached to the upper surface of the substrate such that the conducting pads face the upper surface of the substrate. The lower surface of the substrate includes an exposed conducting feature. An electrically conducting interconnect in the substrate electrically couples the exposed conducting feature to the conducting pads of the electronic circuit device. The exposed conducting feature of the substrate is electrically coupled to a leadframe finger of a leadframe by solder, providing a conducting path between the leadframe finger and the electronic circuit device.
