20100268232DELIVERY SYSTEMS, TOOLS, AND METHODS OF USE - A covering for delivering a substance or material to a surgical site is provided. The covering, with substance provided therein, may be referred to as a delivery system. Generally, the covering may be a single or multi-compartment structure capable of at least partially retaining a substance provided therein until the covering is placed at a surgical site. Upon placement, the covering may facilitate transfer of the substance or surrounding materials. For example, the substance may be released (actively or passively) to the surgical site. The covering may participate in, control, or otherwise adjust the release of the substance. In various embodiments, the covering is suitable for a variety of procedure specific uses. Implantation tools may be provided for placing the covering at a surgical site. Kits may be provided including variously sized or shaped coverings and one or more tools for use in placing the covering.10-21-2010

20090259177RESORBABLE HOLLOW DEVICES FOR IMPLANTATION AND DELIVERY OF THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - A method of manufacturing a resorbable balloon designed to contain bone cement for vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty applications is described. The resorbable balloon can be inserted into a vertebral body following vertebral cavitation and filled with bone cement. The balloon remains in place in the vertebral body and resorbs over time. Methods and apparatus are also described for delivering therapeutic agents using collapsible, resorbable balloons. The balloons may be nested and filled with various therapeutic agents that are released over time at rates dependent upon structures and degradation rates of the balloons. Furthermore, the function of the hollow devices can encompass both encapsulation and therapeutic substance delivery roles simultaneously.10-15-2009

20090291321Whisker-free lead frames - A method of fabricating an interconnection between a region of copper material and a conducting region is disclosed. The method includes a step of forming a region of tin material and a step of forming a region of nickel material. The method also includes a step of melting the tin material to induce formation of a nickel/tin/copper intermetallic composition at an interface between the region of copper material and the conducting region. The region of tin material and the region of nickel material define the interface between the region of copper material and the conducting region.11-26-2009
20100243300Soldering Method and Related Device for Improved Resistance to Brittle Fracture - A lead-free solder joint is formed between a tin-silver-copper solder alloy (SAC), SACX, or other commonly used Pb-free solder alloys, and a metallization layer of a substrate. Interaction of the SAC with the metallization layer forms an intermetallic compound (IMC) that binds the solder mass to the metallization layer. The IMC region is substantially free of any phosphorous-containing layers or regions.09-30-2010

20090273078Electronic packages - Assemblies involving integrated circuit dies (e.g. packaged integrated circuits) and packaged dies electrically connected to circuit boards at times mechanically fail at conducting pads used for electrical interconnection. Such failure is mitigated by underlying appropriate pads with a compliant region having specific characteristics.11-05-2009
20100022034Manufacture of devices including solder bumps - Typical testing of solder joints, (e.g. joints at printed circuit board pads) has not proven totally predictive of the ultimate performance of such joints. It has been found that this lack of reliability is, at least in part, due to the tendency during testing for these pads to lose adhesion to, or delaminate from, the underlying substrate. In contrast, such occurrence is not typical of phenomena induced during typical device usage. To remove this source of unreliability, a test structure is made together with the manufacturing device lot. The same pad processing is used and the pad size is substantially enlarged in the test structure. The test structure is employed to predict performance of devices in the lot and then the lot is processed accordingly.01-28-2010

20090075215Photoplate for oled deposition screen - A photoplate for manufacturing a deposition mask that is used to form a matrix of pixel areas used in a display panel. The photoplate comprises a layer of material such as quartz, on which a matrix of pixel etching areas is defined. The pixel etching areas are configured to form pixel areas having a specified separation from each other in a vertical direction. The pixel etching areas on the photoplate include an outer periphery having a generally rectangular shape with elongated corners.03-19-2009
20090202922Dimensional stabilization of precision etched masks - Dimensional stabilization of a precision etched mask used in the production of organic light emitting diode display panels. This may entail securing a sheet of mask material, and then heating the sheet of mask material to a temperature within a predetermined range for a predetermined amount of time to produce a treated sheet of mask material. The treated sheet of mask material may then be used to fabricate a dimensionally stable precision etched mask, such as by exposing and etching the treated sheet of mask material.08-13-2009
