International Classification:

C08F 3200

US Classification:

526308, 428365, 428375, 428376, 428378, 526309, 570125, 570126, 570127, 570128, 570129, 570131, 570132

Abstract:

The invention pertains to benzocyclobutene resins having flame retardant properties. Such resins have a high glass transition temperature (Tg 250Â C. ), low moisture absorption, low dielectric constant, good mechanical properties, flame retardancy (meets or exceeds UL94 V-O and/or VTM-O requirements), and can be cast onto a reinforcement to prepare a laminate for use as a substrate for electronic circuitry. The flame resistant compound is reaction product of a halogen containing compound of the formulae or wherein R is a halogen containing aromatic group, a halogen containing aliphatic group or a combination thereof; R is hydrogen, an aromatic group, an aliphatic group or an combination of an aromatic group and an aliphatic group which may contain halogen atoms; DA is a Diels-Alder reactive diene or a group that can act as a dienophile in a Diels-Alder reaction; and n is greater than or equal to 1; with a benzocyclobutene compound.

International Classification:

B05D 302

US Classification:

4273845, 427387, 4273882, 526285

Abstract:

A method of producing a highly stable packaging substrate in which are provided a first precursor having a first backbone and a first ethynyl group, and a second precursor having a second backbone and a second ethynyl group. Furthermore provided is a crosslinker having a first and a second reactive group. The first precursor, the second precursor, the crosslinker, and a solvent are applied onto a surface to form an electrically insulating layer. The first ethynyl group is reacted with the first reactive group in a first carbon-carbon bond formation reaction and the second ethynyl group is reacted with the second reactive group in a second carbon-carbon bond formation reaction to crosslink the first backbone with the second backbone, thereby forming the packaging substrate. The solvent is removed in a further step.

International Classification:

A61B 17/74

US Classification:

606 89

Abstract:

Apparatus and method are described for interoperatively determining, during a trailing procedure conducted in connection with total hip arthroplasty, a combination of neck length and femoral head offset required in a femoral component for establishing appropriate hip mechanics in a prosthetic hip joint to be implanted at an implant site. A trial femoral head is coupled for selective movement relative to a femoral stem component to move the trial femoral head longitudinally and laterally relative to a predetermined direction among selected combinations of trial distance and trial offset to evaluate hip mechanics and determine interoperatively an appropriate combination of trial distance and trial offset corresponding to the combination of neck length and femoral head offset required in the prosthetic hip joint.
