International Classification:

H01L 24/97
H01L 23/552
H05K 3/30

US Classification:

29841, 29829, 29832, 257660, 438112, 361818

Abstract:

A meta-module having circuitry for two or more modules is formed on a substrate, which is preferably a laminated substrate. The circuitry for the different modules is initially formed on the single meta-module. Each module will have one or more component areas in which the circuitry is formed. A metallic structure is formed on or in the substrate for each component area to be shielded. A single body, such as an overmold body, is then formed over all of the modules on the meta-module. At least a portion of the metallic structure for each component area to be shielded is then exposed through the body by a cutting, drilling, or like operation. Next, an electromagnetic shield material is applied to the exterior surface of the body of each of the component areas to be shielded and in contact with the exposed portion of the metallic structures.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a meta-module having circuitry for two or more modules is formed on a substrate, which is preferably a laminated substrate. The circuitry for the different modules is initially formed on the single meta-module. Each module will have one or more component areas in which the circuitry is formed. A metallic structure is formed on or in the substrate for each component area to be shielded. A single body, such as an overmold body, is then formed over all of the modules on the meta-module.

Appl. No.:

6/335117

Inventors:

Thomas J. Morris - Addison IL

Assignee:

Zenith Electronics Corporation - Glenview IL

International Classification:

H01J 950
H01J 920

US Classification:

313461

Abstract:

An article of manufacture is disclosed comprising a cathode ray tube having a glass face panel with a cathodoluminescent screen on the inner surface thereof. The screen has a phosphor constituent vulnerable to patterned discoloring known as character burn. Character burn is caused by static area electron bombardment of such time and intensity as to discolor the phosphor, but not appreciably degrade phosphor efficiency. The tube according to the invention is characterized by having a conditioned screen uniformly burn-discolored throughout at least in the visible portion of the screen to render substantially imperceptible patterned character burn resulting from use. A process is also disclosed for use in the manufacture of cathode ray tubes and display monitors, and the reclamation of character-burned cathode ray tubes to render character burn substantially imperceptible.

International Classification:

A63B 47/02
A63B 53/04

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a golf putter having a putter head attached to an elongated shaft with the putter head defining a retention cavity configured to engage and retain a golf ball therein are disclosed. The retention cavity is formed along the back region of the putter head and is configured to have a diameter that is slightly less than the diameter of a regulation sized golf ball such that the golf ball is retained therein when urged into the confines of the retention cavity by the putter head. The putter head further includes an alignment aid that cooperates with the retention cavity to assist in aligning the golf putter during a putting stroke.
