  • Turbine agglomerated calcium hypochlorite particle and process for the production thereof
    Patent number: 5171562
    Abstract: A hydrated calcium hypochlorite agglomerated particle is provided that is produced in a turbine agglomerator and has a plurality of connecting links of recrystallized material bridging the small particles forming the agglomerate which has therein a plurality of pores created by the substantial evaporation of the layer of surface liquid. The surface tension and adhesion forces of the layer of surface liquid at least partially holds the agglomerated particle together prior to drying.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 1990
    Date of Patent: December 15, 1992
    Assignee: Olin Corporation
    Inventor: William G. Bridges
  • Process for manufacturing plastic pin grid arrays and the product produced thereby
    Patent number: 5144412
    Abstract: A pin grid array package is provided. An array of terminal pins pass through apertures formed in an interconnect tape. The terminal pins are electrically connected to circuit traces formed on interconnect tape. The electrically conductive bond between the terminal pins and circuit traces is either by a mechanical cinch by soldering. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the interconnect tape, terminal pins and a heat sink are embedded in a molding polymer resin.

  • Process for manufacturing plastic pin grid arrays and the product produced thereby
    Patent number: 4965227
    Abstract: A process for forming an integrated circuit pin grid array package comprising a flexible metal tape adapted for use in tape automated bonding with a plurality of holes. Terminal pins are inserted in the holes and the tapes and pins are disposed within a mold so that a cavity is formed about the pins and tape. The cavity is filled with a polymer resin so as to at least partially surround and support the pins and tape and thereby form the plastic encapsulated pin grid array.

  • Air classification in a spray grainer
    Patent number: 4570567
    Abstract: In a rotary drum spray grainer there is provided a solid product material exit at the same end as the inlet hot air so that air classification of the solid product material according to size is achieved while the solid product material passes counter-current to the inlet hot air as the solid product material exits the drum.
