Abstract: A materials processing system comprises a thermal processing chamber and a broadband microwave power source. The power source includes an ovenized small-signal RF circuit, a high power microwave amplifier, and forward and reflected power detectors separated from one another by an isolator. The power detectors are also preferably ovenized. A control system provides control signals to the thermally stabilized VCO and VCA in the small-signal circuit to control output power based on detected forward power compared to demanded forward power. The system may be run in either open-loop or closed-loop modes.

Abstract: A hybrid contact lens comprises a central zone (362) comprising a substantially rigid, gas permeable material having a DK of at least 30 (x10 -11 ), a relatively soft peripheral zone (364) and an intermediate zone (366) comprising a film or coating that is created around the central zone, and then cured. The film facilitates chemical bonding between the central zone and the peripheral zone, and also provides a protective barrier to prevent modification of the physical characteristics of the central zone. The film may be created by soaking the central zone in a chemical solution for a predetermined amount of time. Methods of manufacturing such a hybrid contact lens are also provided.

Abstract: The bonding of components (12a, 12b) is facilitated by a conductive pattern (10) which generates heat upon being irradiated with microwave or RF energy. The electrically conductive pattern is positioned on a first component surface and a curable resin (16) having adhesive properties is applied thereto. A second component surface is placed in contacting relation with the resin and the conductive pattern is irradiated with microwave or RF energy to facilitate curing wherein the components are bonded together along the pattern. The conductive pattern can be utilized without adhesive resin wherein heat generated via the application of microwave or RF energy causes components to fuse together. The conductive pattern (6) can be enveloped by polymeric material, wherein the polymeric material becomes the adhesive for bonding components when microwave or RF energy is applied.

Abstract: A method for densifying thermoplastics, particularly polyimides, for use in conjunction with electronic circuits while producing improved physical properties and a high degree of crystallinity, involves variable frequency microwave (VFM) processing at temperatures typically 100°C below the glass transition temperature or lower, for times of about 50 to 100 minutes. It is particularly applicable to polymers based on BPDA-PPD, but may also be generally applied to other intentionally designed polyimide structures with the same features. The invention enables the creation of layered structures involving integrated circuits with small feature sizes and overcoatings of polymers with high T g and other desirable properties.
