Abstract:
Disclosed are systems or apparatuses and methods for forming a junction between conductive fibers that are incorporated into a fabric. Briefly, one method includes the steps of removing insulation from two intersecting individually insulated conductive fibers to expose the individually conductive fibers, bringing the exposed individually conductive fibers into contact with each other at a junction point, and forming a molecular bond between the conductive fibers at the junction point. Also disclosed are systems for forming a junction between conductive fibers that are incorporated into a fabric. In this regard, one embodiment of such a system can include a first apparatus that removes insulation from two intersecting individually insulated conductive fibers to expose the individually conductive fibers, a second apparatus that brings the exposed individually conductive fibers into contact with each other at a junction point, and a third apparatus that aids in formation of a molecular bond between the conductive fibers at the junction point.
Abstract:
Integrated circuits and processes for manufacturing integrated circuits are described that use printed wiring board substrates having a core layer that is part of the circuit of the printed wiring board. In a number of embodiments, the core layer is constructed from a carbon composite. In several embodiments, techniques are described for increasing the integrity of core layers in designs calling for high density clearance hole drilling. One embodiment of the invention includes a core layer that includes electrically conductive material and at least one build-up wiring portion formed on an outer surface of the core layer. In addition, the build-up portion comprises at least one micro wiring layer including a circuit that is electrically connected to the electrically conductive material in the core layer via a plated through hole.

Abstract:
Vehicle air intake and exhaust handling devices are formed of a conductive loaded resin-based material. The conductive loaded resin-based material comprises micron conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The percentage by weight of the conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination thereof is between about 20% and 50% of the weight of the conductive loaded resin-based material. The micron conductive powders are metals or conductive non-metals or metal plated non-metals. The micron conductive fibers may be metal fiber or metal plated fiber. Further, the metal plated fiber may be formed by plating metal onto a metal fiber or by plating metal onto a non-metal fiber. Any platable fiber may be used as the core for a non-metal fiber. Superconductor metals may also be used as micron conductive fibers and/or as metal plating onto fibers in the present invention.
