Abstract: Process of forming compact, high flux, fouling resistant gas filters by coating continuous ultra thin layer of non-porous gas permeable polymer over filter surface by contacting one side of microporous substrate with dilute coating solution of polymer, preferably amorphous copolymer of perfluoro-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxole, which is hydrophobic and oleophobic. Substrate pore size filters polymer from solution as solvent flows through, leaving ultra thin layer of polymer. Residual solvent evaporated off. Process useful to coat sheet and hollow fiber substrates, particularly multiple hollow fibers assembled in modules. Coating prevents solid particles and liquid droplets from blocking flow through gas filter, which is also easily cleaned and reusable. The coated fiber modules are useful as high flow rate gas filters, including collecting suspended droplets, filtering air for microelectronic assembly plants and filtering atmosphere in biomedical clean rooms.

Title: A protective containment apparatus for potted electronic circuits
Inventor: LIPTAK JULIUS M
IPC: H05K5/06
Filed: 1999-04-23
Granted: 2007-07-03
Abstract: A protective containment apparatus for preventing damage to expensive components of an assembly due to the failure of an electronic component in a nearby potted circuit which is known to fail catastrophically. The containment apparatus can employ a resilient material placed around the at-risk electronic component prior to potting the circuit. The resilient material absorbs the expanding gases and fragmented parts of the at-risk component which are expelled during the catastrophic failure. The cushioning effect of the resilient material prevents the fragments and parts of the potting material from becoming projectiles that can damage any nearby components of the assembly.  The containment apparatus can also employ a restrictive material placed around the at-risk component prior to potting the circuit. The restrictive material prevents any expelled fragments of the at-risk component and expanding gases from causing the potting material to fracture and become projectiles which can damage nearby components of the assembly. A combination of the resilient material and the restrictive material can also be employed and is most effective in preventing damage to nearby component of the assembly.

Des versions améliorées de microprogrammation sont fournies à un codeur numérique (120) afin de faciliter la production de trains numériques pouvant être raccordés et la production de commandes de repérage. Ces dispositions permettent l'insertion de messages publicitaires sur un site à liaison montante (/programmateur/réseau) (100) ainsi qu'au niveau d'une tête de bus de télévision par câble (/station affiliée) (200). Ce système assure une compatibilité fonctionnelle entre un train numérique (150) et les tonalités analogiques de repérage. Les commandes de repérage sont, de préférence, transportées dans la couche transport du train numérique de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de décodeur et de traiter plusieurs couches du train numérique. Il est ainsi possible d'ajouter, de manière compatible en amont, une nouvelle fonction d'insertion de messages publicitaire à des liaisons montantes existantes et à un équipement de tête de bus tout en réduisant au maximum les dépenses liées à une extension, ce qui permet, en outre, d'utiliser des techniques différentes de raccordement au gré de l'alternative coût-performance selon la qualité audiovisuelle souhaitée après raccordement.

Abstract: A construction beam defining a pair of lateral surfaces and s pair of abutment surfaces. The beam defines a set of alternating grooves and intermediate segments extending between the grooves. When the abutment surfaces are abuttingly positioned against other surfaces, the grooves being filled with air provide vibration dampening and thus reduced noise transmission. The air-filled grooves also provide thermal insulation. The configuration of the grooves allows trough flow of air reducing the risks of trapping moisture that could lead to rotting.      The intermediate segments are optionally made of resilient material.
