• Applying Polymer Laminate Technology to Developing IVDT
  . In contrast, a new microfabrication platform, polymer laminate technology manufacturing, offers prototyping of IVD devices, which can incorporate various different materials and onboard functionality such as porous membranes and onboard valves and pumps. With polymer laminate technology, IVD design...
• Combining Additive and Subtractive Techniques in the Design and Fabrication of Microfluidic Devices
  Laminate construction of microfluidic devices offers a means to incorporate both additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques for the development of multiplexed fluidic devices that have, for example, porous membranes formed-in-place (FIP). Important applications for these hybrid devices...
• Proof is in the PTH -- Assuring Via Reliability from Chip Carriers to Thick Printed Wiring Boards
  The reliability of Plated through holes (PTH's) is presented as "PTH life curves" which plot cycle to fail vs. temperature for the entire range of field, accelerated thermal cycling, and assembly reflow thermal exposures on a Printed Wire Board (PWB) or Laminate Chip Carrier (LCC). The curves...

  be included in the model. For composite constructions, the software uses the preprocessor's laminate modeler to handle laminate plies and fiber orientations," says Martinez. Before impact analysis, bat ergonomics are assessed with the model. "Here, modal analysis is conducted on the bat model provides...

  . or sliver generation. This is due to the nature of the organic system used, which can. also result in a strong solvent (MIBK) odor. Some customers have also requested a. ceramic tape that is easier to laminate and cut in the green state. These issues can limit. production volume. In some cases...
• Laser Machining Fiber-Reinforced Plastics
  with increased cutting velocity are observed. Material. damage also occurs owing to thermal stresses which arise during laser cutting due to high thermal. gradients near the cutting zone and the particular structure of the composite laminate. Conclusion: Research efforts should be directed towards cutting...

  . The laminates come in colors such as beige, almond, white, gray, and blue, and their protective surface minimizes shedding. The extremely hard protective layer includes a microthin application of aluminum oxide to resist abrasion and extend the life of the laminate. The surface also resists chemicals...
