Waldemar Brinkis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10842030
    Abstract: A method of through-plating a circuit board having conductors formed on two sides. At least two holes are filled under compression pressure with a sintering paste. Subsequently, the sintering paste is dried and fired to form a cohesive bond with the ceramic substrate and fill the holes. Simultaneous filling of multiple holes having different hole diameters is accomplished using a printing screen with screen holes of different diameters. A single print parameter set is used. The printing screen here has at least one screen hole for filling a hole larger than the reference hole. The screen hole has an area-reducing and area-dividing geometry that divides the screen hole into at least two hole sections.

  • Patent number: 10791630
    Abstract: A printed circuit board having conductor tracks formed on one side of a substrate. The substrate is able to be cohesively bonded at a contact face to a cover for protecting the conductor tracks. In this case, the substrate includes a step, which forms a barrier with respect to an auxiliary material for promoting the cohesive bond, in order to prevent any wetting of the conductor tracks with the auxiliary material. A sensor having a printed circuit board for use in a fuel filling level measurement system of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200187366
    Abstract: A printing screen for use through-plating a printed circuit board. The printing screen has at least one screen hole for filling a larger hole compared to a reference hole in a ceramic substrate. This printing screen has an area-reducing and area-dividing geometry that divides the screen hole into at least two hole sections.

  • Publication number: 20200187353
    Abstract: A printed circuit board, preferably for use in a fuel fill-level sensor and in a fuel fill-level measuring system, having conductor tracks formed on two sides of a ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate has at least one metalized hole for through-contacting that connects the conductor tracks to one another. The hole of the sintered ceramic substrate is filled with a metal-containing sintering paste, which is introduced under pressure. In the fully sintered state, the paste enters into at least one integral bond with the ceramic substrate and completely fills the hole in so doing.
