Title: Switched management of thermal impedance to reduce temperature excursions
Inventor: BULLER MARVIN LAWRENCE
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing the thermal stresses between an integrated circuit package and a printed circuit board, each having different thermal coefficients of expansion, to minimize thermal fatigue induced by power management cycling. The thermal impedance of the convection cooling system used with the integrated circuit package is switched with the state of the power management signal. A fan on the integrated circuit package heat sink is energized when the integrated circuit is operated in a high power mode and disabled when the integrated circuit is in a low power mode initiated by the power management system. The switching is directly responsive to the power management system and without regard to integrated circuit package temperature. The switching of the fan alters the thermal impedance to reduce the extremes of the temperature excursion and to materially reduce the rate of change of temperature experienced by the integrated circuit package. Relative temperature induced stresses on the connection between the printed circuit board and integrated circuit package are decreased.

Abstract: A ball ramp mechanism (8) is used to load a clutch
pack (10) in a transmission inertia brake (4) to slow a rotating
shaft (6) where an armature (16) having an angled peripheral
surface (18) engages a mating surface formed in an inertia
brake housing (38) to form a cone clutch where the armature (16) is
magnetically pulled toward the brake housing (38) by an
electromagnetic field generated by an electrical coil (12)
thereby introducing a frictional braking force on the
armature (16). The armature (16) is nonrotatably connected to the
control ring (26) of the ball ramp mechanism (8) through a
plurality of tapered pins (20A) which engage a corresponding
plurality of conical sections (22A) so that relative rotation
between the armature (16) and the control ring (26) causes the
armature (16) to be forced toward the housing (38) thereby
increasing the braking force on the armature (16) and control
ring (26). Relative rotation between the control ring (26) and an
actuation ring (28) causes a plurality of rolling elements (36A) to
transverse tapered grooves (35A) formed on the control ring (26) and
the actuation ring (28) thereby axially expanding the ball
ramp mechanism (8) to load the clutch pack (10).

Abstract: In an enzymatic, non-batch process for converting
maleic acid to fumaric acid by contacting maleic acid in a
reaction medium with an enzyme preparation comprising an
enzyme having a maleic acid-isomerizing activity the
lifetime of the enzyme is extended by lowering the dissolved
oxygen content of the reaction medium to 1 ppm or less by
means of a deoxygenating agent and/or an inert gas. When
the reaction medium also contains ammonium ions, for example
as ammonium maleate, and the enzyme preparation comprises an
enzyme having an aspartase activity (the same enzyme as the
one having maleic acid-isomerizing activity or a different
one) L-aspartic acid can be produced.

Abstract: Described herein are a structure and a method for
packaging a semiconductor chip. The structure comprises a
semiconductor chip having a plurality of bumps formed
thereon, a substrate having copper-made wiring patterns
with the bumps joined thereto, which are formed so as to
correspond to forming positions of the bumps, and a
polyimide tape having adhesive layers provided on both
surfaces for joining the semiconductor chip and the
substrate to one another upon positioning. A spacing
defined between the semiconductor chip and the substrate is
sealed with a resin layer. A material for the substrate
is selected so that a thermal expansion coefficient of the
substrate is substantially equal to that of the polyimide
tape. Owing to the above construction, it is possible to
reduce the chance that a contact failure may occur, by
increasing bonding powers between the bumps and the wiring
patterns and avoid cracks from being produced on the
surface of the semiconductor chip due to a change in
temperature at its manufacture.

oscillation circuit when the switch is open. A bypass
circuit includes diodes connected between the oscillation
circuit and the switch to disable the oscillation circuit
in order to continuously illuminate the light sources
when the switch is closed. The bypass circuit is
disabled when the switch is open. A first capacitive
device of the power supply transmission circuit is

power transistor for storing a charge when the switch is
closed and for discharging through the output path of the
power transistor when the switch is opened to cause the
oscillation circuit to sequentially supply power to the
light sources and sequentially cause illumination of the
light sources until the stored charge of the first
capacitive device falls below a predetermined value.
