Abstract: Spherical thermoplastic polymer powders useful for additive manufacturing may be made at high throughputs by a method comprising polymer in a dispersing medium at a temperature above the polymer melting temperature (Tm) under shear for short times (e.g., less than 30 minutes) to form a mixture that is then rapid (faster than ambient cooling) cooled below Tm. The method is particularly useful for thermoplastic polymers having a high melt flow index (MFI) or low capillary viscosity at high shear (˜1000 s−1) within 20 or 30° C. of the polymer's melt temperature. The method may also include a crystallizing temperature below Tm and above the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer to crystallize amorphous polymers or increase the crystallinity of semi-crystalline polymers.

Abstract: A radome and a method for manufacturing same. A radome apparatus (10) has a radome body (12) having an aperture (14), a film (16) covering the aperture, and a support (18) installed into the aperture. The film and the support have a low loss at a desired operating frequency. The support provides backing, support, and rigidity for the film so that distortion of the film by weather conditions, such as wind, is reduced. Thus, the integrity of the RF transmission characteristics of the radome are preserved. The aperture, film, and support are in the boresight of an antenna (20, 28) and are large enough to accommodate a desired beam steering range. The radome body may be manufactured with the aperture and the film included therein by using an in-mold labeling process. The support may be installed in the aperture by a subsequent molding process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for multiple flexible circuit cable attachment is described herein. Gold bumps are bonded on interconnection pads of a substrate to create a columnar structure and solder or conductive epoxy is dispensed on the flexible cable circuit. The substrate and flexible cable circuit are aligned and pressed together using force or placement of a weight on either the substrate or flexible cable circuit. Appropriate heat is applied to reflow the solder or cure the epoxy. The solder wets to the substrate pads, assisted by the gold bumps, and have reduced bridging risk due to the columnar structure. A nonconductive underfill epoxy is applied to increase mechanical strength.
