Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100264566RAPID FABRICATION OF A MICROELECTRONIC TEMPORARY SUPPORT FOR INORGANIC SUBSTRATES - A method for fabricating a rigid temporary support used for supporting inorganic substrates during processing includes providing an inorganic substrate comprising a first surface to be processed and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Next, applying a liquid layer to the second surface of the inorganic substrate and then curing the applied liquid layer and thereby forming a rigid temporary support attached to the second surface of the inorganic substrate. Next, processing the first surface of the inorganic substrate while supporting the inorganic substrate upon the rigid temporary support. The curing includes first exposing the applied liquid layer to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and then performing a post exposure bake (PEB) at a temperature sufficient to complete the curing of the applied liquid layer and to promote outgassing of substances.10-21-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090321563PLATFORM - A rib bay platform for use in an aircraft rib bay, is adjustable in length (for example it comprises two telescopically mounted sections. The platform comprises a first end configured for mounting on a stringer of the rib bay (for example by an interference fit), and a second end configured for mounting on another stringer of the rib bay (for example on feet mounted on ball-and-socket joints). A method of operating in an aircraft rib bay comprises the steps of providing a rib bay platform of adjustable length; adjusting the length of the platform; mounting the platform between the two stringers; whereby a person may then operate inside the aircraft rib bay whilst being supported on the platform.12-31-2009

20080307010Method and System for Sending Changes in Information to a Central System - A method and system is disclosed for sending changes in information to a central system. The method includes providing a first database having a plurality of information tables for storing information and providing a second database for tracking changes to the information in the information tables of the first database. The second database may include a link table containing links corresponding to the information tables in the first database. The changes in the information tables may be periodically extracted from the first database by using the second database. The changes may be extracted via a link of the link table which corresponds to the information table where an information change occurred. The extracted changes may be sent to a central server.12-11-2008
