摘要:
A package for interconnecting a plurality of integrated circuit chips into a functional unit comprising a multilayer substrate having ground and power conducting layers and a frame for holding the chips with their terminal pads on the side of the frame opposite the substrate. Power and ground terminal pads on the chips are coupled to the appropriate potentials via registering conductive feedthroughs passing through the frame and into the substrate into contact with appropriate power or conductive layers in the substrate. Signal pads on the chips are interconnected by means of a conductive layer which is located over the chips on the side of the frame opposite the substrate.

A munitions cartridge transmitter capable of emitting an electromagnetic signal after discharge from a cartridge propelling device comprises a signal generator, an electromagnetic signal transmitter coupled to the generator, an antenna coupled to the transmitter, and a hollow cartridge for housing the generator, the transmitter, and the antenna. The transmitter is energized after discharge of the cartridge propelling device by a power source contained in the cartridge.

A solid state process for the bulk conversion of a dense polycrystalline ceramic body to a single crystal body has been accomplished by heating the polycrystalline material to a temperature above one-half of the melting temperature of the material but below the melting point of the material. As the process is a solid state process, no melting of the ceramic body is necessary to convert it to a single crystal. The process has been used to convert a dense polycrystalline alumina body (PCA) containing less than 100 wppm of magnesia to sapphire (single crystal alumina) by heating the PCA to temperatures above 1100.degree. C. but below 2050.degree. C., the melting point of alumina.

Solderable, largely base metal electrodes for metal oxide varistors are fabricated by screen printing an electrically conductive, air-fireable base metal composition on a varistor material substrate. A distributed fine noble metal array is screen printed over the screened base metal and the varistor heated in air at a temperature of between approximately 500.degree. C. and 800.degree. C. The varistor leads are easily solderable to the noble metal array.

A molded case circuit breaker and current suppressing unit protects an electric motor without tripping during motor current reversal. The circuit breaker trip unit provides long time, short time and instantaneous over current protection against abnormal overload and low-current short circuit currents within the protected circuit. The current suppressing unit rapidly suppresses high-current short circuit currents until the circuit breaker responds to isolate the protected equipment.
摘要:
A circuit breaker is equipped with a current limiting arc runner for effective overcurrent interruption without additional heating under quiescent operating conditions. Upon contact separation, an arc is drawn with the endpoints of the arc being initially rooted on the set of open contacts. Further opening of the contacts commutates the arc onto the current limiting arc runner to suppress the circuit current.
摘要:
A solid state method of converting a polycrystalline ceramic body to a single crystal body includes the steps of doping the polycrystalline ceramic material with a conversion-enhancing dopant and then heating the polycrystalline body at a selected temperature for a selected time sufficient to convert the polycrystalline body to a single crystal. The selected temperature is less than the melting temperature of the polycrystalline material and greater than about one-half the melting temperature of the material. In the conversion of polycrystalline alumina to single crystal alumina (sapphire), examples of conversion-enhancing dopants include cations having a +3 valence, such as chromium, gallium, and titanium. The polycrystalline body further can be inhomogeneously doped to form a first portion of the polycrystalline body that is doped to the selected level of the conversion-enhancing dopant and a second portion that is not doped such that heating the doped polycrystalline body causes conversion of first portion to a single crystal structure and the second portion retains a polycrystalline structure.
摘要:
Defects in varistors are detected by pulsing a high current through the varistors and shortly thereafter mapping the temperature distribution of a main varistor surface by heat sensitive equipment. The presence of a localized hot spot sufficiently higher in temperature than a reference temperature level in the varistor indicates the presence of a defect. The disclosed technique is especially adapted for detecting defects that manifest themselves as incipient hot spots but which quickly disappear from observation because their heat rapidly disperses into surrounding varistor material.
摘要:
A bismuth-free, zinc oxide based varistor exhibits a controllable overshoot/undershoot voltage characteristic. The varistor is composed of zinc oxide as the primary constituent, with smaller quantities of barium, boron, one or more transition elements and aluminum. Varistor voltage versus time response is dependent on the degree of aluminum doping. Typically, more than approximately 0.003 mole percent, but less than approximately 0.1 mole percent aluminum is employed, depending on desired voltage overshoot/undershoot characteristic. Varistors having a controllable voltage versus time response are used in a method for providing a rectangular voltage pulse in response to a current input.

Metal oxide varistor structures having a low breakdown voltage, low leakage current, high values of alpha, operational stability, and methods of making the same are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention relating to metal oxide varistor structures, at least one of the planar surfaces of a varistor disk, for example, is provided with a recessed region for increasing the electric field intensity in the region of the recess and hence reducing the breakdown voltage of the varistor disk without altering the structural integrity of the disk. Methods for making varistor structures with one or more recesses on one or more surfaces of the varistor structures are also disclosed.
