Title: Pre-testable semiconductor die package
Inventor: SANKHAGOWIT THANOMSAK
IPC: H01L21/603
Filed: 1987-03-18
Abstract: Die contact pads (31) are bonded to the inner ends (31a) of interconnected finger contacts (13) on a copper tape. Interconnect cross-links (16) initially connect the finger contacts and the tape edges and function as dam bars in subsequent encapsulation steps. The die and die bonds are mold encapsulated to form the die package and a carrier frame (17) is simultaneously molded around and spaced from the periphery of the package. The finger contacts are exposed within a slot (34) in the frame or extend from the ends of the frame so that test probe tips can be pressed thereon to test the die and its bonds. Prior to testing, the interconnects exposed in the annulus between the package and the carrier are blanked out so that the fingers are no longer interconnected. <IMAGE>

Title: Low temperature method for applying corrosion resistant alloys to metal articles
Inventor: CANAL JOSE R
IPC: C23C26/02
Filed: 1987-09-22
Abstract: A layer of a wetting metal characterised by having a softening point lower than the temperature at which scaling of the base metal begins is applied preferably by brazing to the base metal of the article and softened by heating to a temperature in a range between the softening point and the melting point of the wetting metal but below the temperature at which scaling of the base metal begins, and a corrosion- resistant alloy is then bonded at a temperature in this temperature range to the softened wetting metal, preferably by arc spraying. Finally, a layer of hard chromium is optionally electrolytically deposited on the surface of the corrosion-resistant alloy. The corrosion resistance of the article is thereby improved.

Title: Radiation meters
Inventor: MOSLEY ALAN

Filed: 1987-12-08
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB87/00889 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 26, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 26, 1988 PCT Filed Dec. 8, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/04414 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 16, 1988.A radiation meter for measuring the intensity of incident ultraviolet radiation in a predetermined wavelength band against a background of broadband radiation, such as sunlight, includes a sheet of a material incorporating a fluorescent dye. The dye is selected to absorb radiation in the predetermined wavelength band and consequently to emit fluorescent radiation. The fluorescent radiation is internally reflected within the sheet and emerges from an edge of the sheet, where it impinges on a photodiode. The photodiode produces an output which is dependent upon the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation. This output is used to drive a suitable display. The unwanted background radiation passes through the sheet without causing fluorescence of the dye, and is absorbed in an absorbent backing layer. The photodiode is so positioned and screened that the background radiation cannot impinge upon it. A particularly advantageous use of the meter is for measurement of the intensity of ultraviolet band radiation, which is the cause of sunburn and skin cancer.

Title: Measuring dewpoint of gases
Inventor: LEHTO ARI
IPC: G01N25/66
Filed: 1989-07-28
Abstract: The dewpoint of different kinds of gases is measured by cooling the measured gas, by mixing it with a cold gas down to the dewpoint and then detecting the generated mist by optical means. The cooling gas e.g. air is routed to a measurement area (7) located inside the process area by introducing it through a side pipe 5 to a core pipe 4 which passes through a wall 12 to the process environment. A heater/cooler 11 surrounding pipe 4 brings the cooling gas to a temperature below the dewpoint of the measured gas before it is conducted to the measurement area (7). Process gas is introduced through a pipe 6 to the measurement area 7 where mist generated during the cooling of the measured process gas is detected by illuminating the measurement area (7) by a light emitting source (8) and measuring the light scattered from the mist or light penetrating through the mist with the help of a photodetector (9). Optical fibres 13 lead from the measurement area 7 to the source 8 and photodetector 9. A thermocouple or the like measures the temperature of area 7.
