Patent EP-0912458-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ROHLIN BARBRO
IPC: C22C29/08
Filed: 1997-06-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of sintering cemented carbide bodies including heating said bodies to the sintering temperature in a suitable atmosphere and cooling. If said cooling at least to below 1200  DEG C is performed in a hydrogen atmosphere of pressure 0.4-0.9 bar and >0.1 bar noble gas, preferably argon cemented carbide bodies with no surface layer of binder phase are obtained. This is an advantage when said bodies are to be coated with wear resistant layers by the use of CVD-, MTCVD- or PVD-technique.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing stable endohedral fullerenes of structure Z@Cx, in which x >/= 60. A Z-atom is implanted in the fullerenes and both fullerenes and low energy accelerated Z-particles are produced at the same time and interact with each other in a vacuum vessel. The fullerenes are then withdrawn from the vacuum vessel, dissolved in a solvent and dried. Atoms of non-metals and metalloids are used as Z-atoms. The fullerenes are produced by vapour phase deposition of Cx on a substrate and and the accelerated Z-particles are produced by an ion source and directed onto the growing fullerene layer on the substrate. Alternatively, the fullerenes are produced by evaporating Cx in a furnace through which flows a gas mixture which contains the material to be implanted and the accelerated Z-particles are produced by a high-voltage gas discharge in the same furnace. The disclosed device for producing endohedral fullerenes by means of a high-voltage gas discharge has a cathode which is provided with cooling means and/or has an enlarged surface.

Title: Procede et circuit d'interconnexion le long de l'axe z
Inventor: CHEN YU
IPC: H05K3/30
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédé de formation d'interconnexions le long de l'axe Z entre des couches de circuit adjacentes (20, 21) au moyen de rubans électroconducteurs (24, 25), dans des circuits multicouches. Lesdits procédés consistent à connecter un élément conducteur (30) en matière déformable à une couche de circuit imprimé et à déposer une couche d'adhésif (34) sur la couche de circuit imprimé adjacente. Les couches de circuit adjacentes sont alignées avec l'élément conducteur de manière sensiblement colinéaire aux rubans conducteurs des couches de circuit adjacentes, lesquelles sont assemblées par pression de sorte que l'élément conducteur pénètre dans la couche d'adhésif et se déforme jusqu'à ce qu'il se fissure et que soit exposée la matière inaltérée (non oxydée) qui est en contact avec un ruban conducteur, reliant les couches de circuit entre elles et créant une connexion électrique à faible résistance. L'adhésif sert à limiter la dilatation de l'élément conducteur déformable, ce qui permet de réduire tout contact éventuel avec les éléments conducteurs adjacents. Les interconnexions de circuit (montages de circuit) produits par ledit procédé sont également décrites.
