Appl. No.:

09/473720

Inventors:

Michael W. Wagaman - Florham Park NJ
Thomas F. McCarthy - Bennington VT

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morris Township NJ

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.

Abstract:

A macro cell is provided for an integrated circuit design having an input-output (IO) region with a plurality of IO buffer cells physically dispersed with other cells in IO slots along an interface portion of the IO region. The macro cell includes a plurality of macro cell IO signal slots that are physically dispersed so as to substantially align with the IO buffer cells in the interface portion. The macro cell also includes an interface definition having a plurality of interface IO signal nets, which are routed to corresponding ones of the plurality of macro cell signal slots. The macro cell is adapted to be instantiated as a unit in the integrated circuit design.

Abstract:

A coupling device and method of coupling especially suitable for coupling multiple components of surgical instruments are provided. A wedging portion provides an interference fit between parts so that a secure connection can be made that will not unintentionally dissociate. In a preferred embodiment, bores and counterbores within dovetail portions are provided. Especially preferred is the use of this coupling device to secure a reamer head to a shaft.
