Latest Patents

Martin’s patent, “Laser soldering using thermal characteristics,” describes a method that directs a laser onto the end face of a stack to heat it. A mathematical model is used to set at least one laser parameter according to a thermal characteristic of the stack. The adjustable parameter may be irradiation duration, the irradiated surface area, or laser power.

His patent, “Electronic assembly comprising a sole plate forming a heat sink,” concerns an electronic assembly designed to transfer heat from components on a printed circuit card to a base plate. Heat-conducting pads pass through holes in the card and connect its component-bearing face to the base plate. The pads are integrated with a sole plate positioned between the printed circuit card and the base plate.
