  • Publication number: 20240008190
    Abstract: Embodiments and fabrication methods for a printed circuit board are provided. The embodiments include milling a first cavity in a first sub-lam, wherein the first cavity extends partially through the first sub-lam and milling a second cavity in a prepreg layer. The first sub-lam, the prepreg layer, and a material sheet are stacked and laminated to form a composite cavity from the first cavity and the second cavity. The embodiments also include removing from the laminated stack one or more portions of the first sub-lam covering the first cavity to expose the composite cavity. Conductive paste is placed in the composite cavity of the laminated stack and sintered to form one or more thermal pathways in the laminated stack.

  • Patent number: 11802865
    Abstract: A method of analyzing a polymer resin comprising: providing a polymer resin sample having two or more polymer components; subjecting the sample to aTREF analysis to yield aTREF elution trace by contacting the sample with aTREF solvent to form sample solution; introducing sample solution into aTREF column and allowing elution of polymer components at different elution rates along the column; eluting from the aTREF column an aTREF eluent comprising the polymer components eluting at different rates; and subjecting the aTREF eluent to IR detection to yield the aTREF elution trace; identifying the components of the sample to yield identified components by comparing the elution trace with an identification library that comprises a plurality of known polymer aTREF elution traces correlated with known polymer components characterized by identifying parameters (density, SCB, crystallization temperature, MI, HLMI, MWD); and quantifying each of the identified components to yield quantified polymer components via chemome

  • Patent number: 11576531
    Abstract: A modular, top-loading, food transport cabinet and serving platform apparatus is disclosed in various embodiments. The food transport cabinet and serving platform is advantageous because it is alternatively configurable in both a transport condition (e.g., for transporting or delivering prepared food while maintaining a desired (hot or cold) temperature of the food) and a serving condition (e.g., presenting the prepared food for serving while maintaining a desired (hot or cold) temperature of the food). The apparatus can be configured to accommodate various food presentation and serving requirements and arrangements, including heating (e.g., chafing or direct heat) and chilling (e.g., ice) without having to remove the food items to be presented and served from the food transport cabinet to a special serving platform.

  • Patent number: 10499500
    Abstract: A metal pallet is integrated within a circuit board using a process similar to a multilayer PCB, which integrates the metal pallet into the circuit board at the same time as the supporting layers are fabricated. The use of B-stage material provides a bonding mechanism for the metal pallet to be embedded within the circuit board, creating a cohesive integrated part. Embedding the pallet during the fabrication process, pre-lamination, generates a more robust construction and connection not impacted by post fabrication process in assembly. After assembly the circuit board with embedded metal pallet can be mounted directly on a heat sink, cool ribbon or other feature required to help remove heat. The planar back side surface provides a more robust mounting of the metal pallet than a post fabricated assembly as used in conventional techniques.
