Publication number: 20110206884Abstract: A sheet bonding method includes a closely attaching step and a steam supply step. In the closely attaching step, a thermal adhesive sheet is closely attached to the surface of a workpiece to closely attach an adhesive layer of the sheet to the surface of the workpiece. In the steam supply step, steam is supplied to the space around the workpiece so as to heat the adhesive layer by heat conduction from the steam to bond the thermal adhesive sheet to the workpiece.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2010Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: NAVITAS CO., LTD.Inventors: Koichi Nakamura, Takashi Kawakami

Patent number: 7998304Abstract: Methods configure a proximity head for conditioning fluid flow relative to a proximity head in processing of a surface of a wafer by a meniscus. The methods configure the head in one piece while maintaining head rigidity even as the head is lengthened for cleaning of large diameter wafers. The one-piece head configuring separates main fluid flows from separate flows of fluid relative to the wafer surface, with the separation being by a high resistance fluid flow configuration, resulting in substantially uniform fluid flows across increased lengths of the head in a unit for either fluid supply or return.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Lam Research CorporationInventors: Arnold Kholodenko, Cheng-Yu (Sean) Lin

Publication number: 20110194254Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide various polymeric matrices that may be used as a binder matrix for polymer solder hybrid thermal interface materials. In alternative embodiments the binder matrix material may be phophozene, perfluoro ether, polyether, or urethane. For one embodiment, the binder matrix is selected to provide improved adhesion to a variety of interfaces. For an alternative embodiment the binder matrix is selected to provide low contact resistance. In alternative embodiments, polymeric materials containing fusible and non-fusible particles may be used in application where heat removal is desired and is not restricted to thermal interface materials for microelectronic devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2011Publication date: August 11, 2011Inventors: Saikumar Jayaraman, Paul A. Koning, Ashay Dani

Patent number: RE42689Abstract: A flexible material includes a plurality of separate resilient elements joined to a flexible, resiliently stretchable substrate. Such a material is suitable for providing protective war for human and animal bodies. Preferably, the elements includes a foam material such as a closed cell polyethylene foam and the substrate includes a knitted fabric. In an advantageous embodiment, a second flexible substrate is bonded over the elements to sandwich them between the two layers of substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2000Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Stirling Mouldings LimitedInventor: David Stirling Taylor
