Abstract:
THE PRESENT PATENT DESCRIBES A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD MATERIAL COMPRISING A RIGID PLASTIC SUBSTRATE, A RESISTIVE LAYER CARRIED ON SAID SUBSTRATE AND A CONDUCTIVE FILM CARRIED ON SAID RESISTIVE LAYER; THE IMPROVEMENT WHEREIN THE RESISTIVE LAYER IS APPLIED TO A PREFORMED CONDUCTIVE LAYER THROUGH A POROUS, POLYMERIC MEMBERANE.
Abstract:
FILMS OF DISCRETE FINE PARTICLES OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC MATERIALS CAN BE CATHODICALLY ELECTRODEPOSITED AT LOW VOLTAGES FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF SALTS OF NON-PLATING MONOVALENT CATIONS SUCH AS SOLUTIONS OF SODIUM SULFATE. FOR EXAMPLE, PARTICLES SUCH AS BARIUM SULFATE, BORON AND POLYVINYL CHLORIDE CAN BE DEPOSITED ON A CATHODE FROM SOLUTIONS OF SODIUM SULFATE IN WHICH THE PARTICLES ARE DISPERSED. THESE FILMS OF PARTICLES CAN BE USED AS SUCH OR CAN THEN BE RINSED AND TRANSFERRED TO PLATING BATHS AND THE FILMS OF PARTICLES CAN THUS BE IMBEDDED IN A METAL MATRIX. SUCH 2-PHASE COMPOSITE PLATES CAN BE USED FOR ENGINEERING PURPOSES SUCH AS ANTI-FRICTION APPLICATIONS, AND THE LIKE, OR WITH MULTIPLE PLATES TO OBTAIN EXCELLENT PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION.
Abstract:
FINE PARTICLES OF FLUOROCARBON RESINS SUCH AS TEFLON PARTICLES CAN BE READILY CODEPOSITED WITH METALS WHEN THEY ARE DISPERSED IN AQUEOUS PLATING BATHS, WHEN THERE IS ALSO PRECENT IN THE BATHS A FLUOROCARBON SURFACTANT SUCH AS PERFLUORO N-OCTANOIC ACID, PERFLUORO N-OCTYL SULFONIC ACID, PERFLUORO P-ETHYL CYCLOHEXYL SULFONIC ACID, OR THEIR SALTS. SUCH 2-PHASE COMPOSITE PLATES HAVE GOOD ANTI-SEIZING AND ANTI-FRICTION PROPERTIES.
Abstract:
By the use of an apparatus comprising a supporting and partitioning base having a plurality of spaced openings each having an inner peripheral end edge of a V-shaped cross section for tightly linearly contacting the circumference of the article to be plated when the latter is inserted in place in said opening, and by establishing electric conduction between the terminal of an electrode and the conductive portion in that region of the article located on the inner side of said supporting and partitioning base and not requiring plating via a conductive powder or particles filled on said inner side of the partitioning base, and by immersing that portion of the article protruding on the outer side of said base in the electrolyte, it is possible to accomplish partial metal plating of this article without any complicated steps required in the prior art and to perform mass production at greatly reduced cost.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a memory matrix plane using ferromagnetic thin films, in which a composite film comprising a ferromagnetic thin film, a copper layer, and a chromium layer, is deposited on a glass substrate and is photoetched so as to obtain spaced parallel lines. Ferromagnetic layers are electroplated on the separate lines to coat the copper layer, and the chromium layer together with the ferromagnetic thin film at each of the separate lines, thereby obtaining row lines. Column lines are deposited, through an insulation layer, on the row lines so as to be orthogonally arranged to the row lines by evaporative deposition or adhesive deposition.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing integrated magnetic memory elements the steps of: deposition by electrolysis on one face of a substrate made of a metal easily removed by etching agents through a mask, of the magnetic circuit; forming apertures through the substrate, inside the circuit, by etching through a second mask placed over the other face of the substrate; deposition by electrolysis of a further layer of metal on the assembly and in the apertures; depositing the conductor by electrolysis on the two faces of the assembly and in the apertures.
Abstract:
MULTILAYER MAGNETIC FILM DEVICES ARE PREPARED IN WHICH A FIRST MAGNETIC FILM IS VACUUM DEPOSITED, AND A SECOND MAGNETIC FILM IS ELECTROPLATED. THE FIRST MAGNETIC FILM IS VACUUM EVAPORATED ON A SUITABLE SUBSTRATE, SUCH AS SILICON MONOXIDE-COATED OR POLYIMIDE-COATED METAL. AN ELECTRICALLY CONTINUOUS COPPER LAYER IS VACUUM EVAPORATED ON THE FIRST MAGNETIC FILM. AN ADDITIONAL THICKNESS OF COPPER IS ELECTROPLATED ON THE ELECTRICALLY CONTINUOUS COPPER LAYER. A SECOND MAGNETIC FILM IS THEN ELECTROPLATED ON THE ADDITIONAL THICKNESS OF COPPER. THE LAYER SO DEPOSITED MAY THEN BE ETCHED INTO ANY ARRAY OF MAGNETIC FILM DEVICES IN A SINGLE STEP ETCHING PROCESS, USING A SUITABLE ETCHANT FOR BOTH THE MAGNETIC FILMS AND THE COPPER, SUCH AS FERRIC CHLORIDE IN THE CASE OF NICKEL-IRON MAGNETIC FILMS. SINGLE
STEP ETCHING RESULTS IN BETTER DEFINITION, ALLOWING SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER DENSITY OF INDIVIDUAL STORAGE LOCATIONS IN A MEMORY EMPLOYING THE MAGNETIC FILM DEVICES.
Abstract:
An improved metal-to-substrate bond is attained by applying a resinous adhesive mixture to the surface of a nonconducting substrate, the mixture having finely divided particles dispersed therethrough. The particles are thereafter removed from the mixture to provide a microporous tortuous structure upon the substrates. Subsequently deposited metals are keyed into and upon the microporous structural layer to result in greatly improved peel strengths.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing hollow needles, such as cannulae, hypodermic needles and the like. A material, such as metal, is applied as discrete particles, e.g. electrogalvanicly, by chemical precipitation or by spraying, to a surface part of a basic body made from an easily shapeable material, such as plastics or glass. The basic body may be solid or tubular, and the metal layer may be applied to the outer and/or inner surface thereof. The basic body may also have such a form that a needle integral with another syringe part is produced. After the application of the basic layer the basic body material may be partly or totally removed, if desired.
Abstract:
THERE ARE DICLOSED HEREIN PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING MULTI-COMPONENT PLASTIC WORKPIECES IN WHICH AT LEAST A FIRST COMPONENT THEREOF HAS A PLATED METAL COATING THEREON, AND WORKPIECES PRODUCED BY SUCH PROCESSES. THESE PROCESSES GENERALLY COMPRISE PROVIDING A STRIKE SOLUTION, PROVIDING A MULTI-COMPONENT WORKPIECE INCLUDING A FIRST COMPONENT FORMED OF A FIRST PLASTIC MATERIAL ON WHICH A METAL IS DEPOSITED UPON APPLICATION OF THE STRIKE SOLUTION THERETO AND AT LEAST A SECOND COMPONENT FORMED OF A SECOND PLASTIC MATERIAL ON WHICH NO METAL IS DEPOSITED UPON APPLICATION OF THE STRIKE SOLUTION THERETO, APPLYING THE STRIKE SOLUTION TO THE WORKPIECE TO DEPOSIT A METAL STRIKE ON THE FIRST COMPONENT WITHOUT DEPOSITING A METAL STRIKE ON THE SECOND COMPONENT, AND PLATING A LAYER OF PLATING METAL OVER THE METAL STRIKE TO PROVIDE A PLATED METAL COATING ON THE FIRST COMPONENT WHILE NO METAL IS PLATED ON THE SECOND COMPONENT.
