摘要:
A multilayered electronic component created by a wet process, wherein a ceramic base is imprinted with an electrode and an interlayer via is formed on top of it by introducing a via pattern printed in ink that is incompatible with a layer of wet ceramic slurry coating placed on top of the electrode and the via pattern. The incompatibility leads to a physical-chemical reaction that removes ceramic material away from the top of the via pattern by diffusing ceramic materials contained in a colloidal suspension forming a via-through hole. After the wet ceramic slurry is dried, it surrounds the via-through hole and the imprinted via pattern. Then a new electrode layer is imprinted on top of the dried ceramic coating. The new electrode layer completes an electrically conductive path formed from the bottom-most electrode layer, to the via pattern, and then terminating at the new electrode layer on top.

摘要:
A composite fuse element includes a network or matrix of conductive material that is in contact and interspersed with arc suppressing materials at a particle level. In such a matrix, the conductive (e.g., metal) network and the arc suppressing material particles provides a large contact surface area between these materials. When the conductive network melts or vaporizes, the resulting conductive vapors are adsorbed into the arc suppressing particles in a short time due to the large contact area between conductive and arc suppressing materials and the short diffusion distance that the conductive vapors are required to travel before they are absorbed by the arc suppressing material.

摘要:
A multilayered electronic component with or without inter-layer connections created by a process using radiation curing such as ultraviolet/electron beam curing techniques. UV light or electron beam curable binders are mixed with ceramic powders and metals powders to form a ceramic slurry and electrode ink, there is little or no solvent in the metal ink and ceramic slurry. Instead of drying, a UV or electron beam is used for curing the binders. These binders could contain UV/electron beam curable monomers or oligomers, photo initiators, and other additives to provide the desired chemical and physical properties in the forming process.

An apparatus for electroplating small parts comprises an electroplating bath for holding an electrolyte and electroplating anodes. The apparatus includes a container having at least one screened parts compartment for holding the parts to be electroplated, and incorporates an electrically conductive screen as its base portion, on which the parts are settled. The conductive screen is adaptable to be connected to the negative pole of a power supply to function as the cathode. A pump circulates freshly ionized electrolyte into the parts compartment and directs a flow of the electrolyte to periodically tumble the parts in the parts compartment. Thereafter, the parts are shaken by a shaker to level the parts to maximize the surface and electrical contact between the parts and the screen when they are settled on the screen. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the container can be of perforated panel construction. Also, the container can include a divider to partition the container into a plurality of parts compartments for electroplating a variety of different parts.
