6284086, Sep 4, 2001

Filed:

Aug 5, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/368552

Inventors:

Terri Cardellino - Chandler AZ
Michael Richards - Phoenix AZ

Assignee:

Three - Five Systems, Inc. - Tempe AZ

International Classification:

B32B 3128

US Classification:

1562737

Abstract:

A very low stress attachment method for attaching a microelectronic device to a flexible substrate comprises use of a photo initiated anisotropic conductive adhesive, preferably an infrared photo initiated anisotropic paste, which can be applied to the bonding terminals of a microelectronic device. The flex circuit is then aligned with the corresponding pads on the device. The flex circuit is then biased against the microelectronic device and the infrared photo initiated anisotropic adhesive is exposed to infrared light by means of a dual purpose light guide that presses against the back side of the polyimide flex circuit and simultaneously receives and guides light energy from an Nd: YAG laser to the back side of the polyimide flex circuit. Light energy from the laser passes through the polyimide substrate and between the circuit tracks of the flex circuit to excite the photo initiator of the photo initiated ACA material, thereby causing it to cure. Preferably the ACA material is a dual cure epoxy such that the photo initiator is required only to begin the polymerization process and a secondary (low-temperature thermal or preferably cationic) polymerization carries the cure through the bulk of the material.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
G08B 17/00
G05B 15/02

Abstract:

A safety automation system for an occupiable structure includes a computing management system including a computer processor, and a computer readable storage medium configured to run embedded software and cloud server software. A fire detection device of the automation system is adapted to detect a fire condition and output an associated fire condition detected signal to the computing management system. A condition deterrence device is configured to accept a wireless command signal from the computing management system associated with the fire condition detected signal and for actuating an appliance to at least reduce risk presented by the condition.
