20120266459 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT FROM A SUBSTRATE - A system and method for removing an electronic component from a substrate is described. In one embodiment, a method in accordance with the invention includes initially preheating a substrate, wherein an electronic component (such as a microchip or discrete electronic component) is attached to the substrate by one or more solder connections. A thermally conductive picker head is applied to the electronic component to quench the electronic component and generate a temperature gradient across the solder connections. Tension is applied to the electronic component using the picker head. The substrate is then heated until a melting point is reached at the interface between the substrate and the solder connections. When the melting point is reached, the tension applied by the picker head removes the electronic component from the substrate. Most if not all of the solder associated with the solder connections is removed with the electronic component. | 10-25-2012 |

This disinfectant cleaner basically comprises nanoparticles of silver, copper or gold; at least one surfactant which includes a quaternary ammonium surfactant; a solvent; a gelling agent; and water. Thanks to the use of the gelling agent, the disinfection cleaner remains stable and homogenous. The nanoparticles are kept in suspension, since the gelling agent does not allow deposition of them. Since deposition at the bottom of the solution is prevented, agglomeration to ineffective bigger size particles is also inhibited and the disinfectant stability and efficacy are conserved. The improved stability of the composition and the synergic effect of specific ingredients improve the antibacterial efficiency by decreasing tremendously the required killing contact time. | 08-11-2011 |
