Abstract:
A temperature indicating composition for use on recoverable articles so that heating to produce recovery or to activate a heat-activatable sealant can be monitored in a binder and an activator that causes the thermochromic colorant to change color at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the colorant would change color in the absence of the activator. Preferably the binder is one that can be cured by UV radiation. The thermochromic colorant can be folic acid and the activator can be an acid that has a pK of less than 4.2.
Abstract:
Thermal post vias are formed within a formed multilayer, high density interconnect including a base and plural layers of metal conductors (68, 72, 76) separated by dielectric material (70) by the steps of: removing in a single step dielectric material at predetermined sites of the thermal post vias to define substantially cylindrical post holes, and forming the thermal post vias by emplacing conductor material, such as metal, into the post holes so that the material fully occupies and fills up the holes.
