Abstract:

A hydrosilylation curable composition contains a combination of high and low viscosity polyorganosiloxanes, a silicone resin, a crosslinker, and a catalyst. The composition, and the cured product thereof, is useful in optical devices such as charged coupled devices (CCDs), light emitting diodes (LEDs), lightguides, optical cameras, photo-couplers, and waveguides. Processes for fabricating the optical devices include various molding techniques, including overmolding.

US Classification:

438 26

Abstract:

This invention is directed to a method for applying a thermal management composition between an LED mounted circuit board and a heat sink, comprising the steps of; (a) applying a deposit of a thermal management composition onto either a second surface of the LED mounted circuit board or onto a surface of a heat sink, through a deposition tool the deposition tool having at least one aperture () where the at least one aperture has a perimeter surrounded by sidewalls, where the sidewalls have heights, where the heights are reduced around at least a portion () of the perimeter of the apertures on the deposition tool as compared to the average height of the deposition tool and (b) securing the LED mounted circuit board and the heat sink.

US Classification:

13762548

Abstract:

A valve comprising a cylinder with a number of inlet and outlet ports at one end having movable therein a resiliently surfaced piston, wherein the valve is closed by movement of the piston to a position wherein the resilient surface simultaneously closes all of the ports. Means is provided to normally urge the valve toward an open position and closing means which may be highly pressurized air is provided to move the piston to a valve closed position.

International Classification:

B05D 310

US Classification:

427387

Abstract:

Organosiloxane compositions comprising specified combinations of MQ resins and liquid polyorganosiloxanes can be applied as molten materials to form coatings that are non-flowable under ambient conditions and can initially be remelted by heating the coating above its flow transition temperature. In the presence of moisture, the flow transition temperature of the coating gradually increases due to the reaction of hydrolyzable groups on the polyorganosiloxane ingredient until the coating is converted to a non-flowable resin reinforced elastomer. Preferred coatings are non-transferable at 25. degree. C. within ten minutes following application.

International Classification:

C03C 2700

US Classification:

156109

Abstract:

Curable adhesive compositions comprise combinations of organosiloxane MQ resins and liquid polyorganosiloxanes of specified viscosity and functionality. The compositions are substantially free of unreactive materials and are applied in the molten state. Depending upon the concentration of reactive groups on the resin and polyorganosiloxane, the compositions may also include a silane containing an average of more than two hydrolyzable groups per molecule. Preferred compositions develop excellent adhesion to a variety of organic and metallic substrates during curing under ambient conditions.

International Classification:

H01R 1352

US Classification:

439271

Abstract:

This invention provides a single type of electrical connector suitable for use with cables containing from one up to the maximum number of electrical conductors that can be accommodated by passages within the connector without impairing the ability of the connector to exclude moisture and other contaminants from the area occupied by junctions between mating pairs of conductors. This is achieved by the combination of a preformed perforated gasket and a layer of penetrable, non-self-healing, non-flowing elastomer that seals all of the passages in the connector not occupied by conductors.

US Classification:

427348

Abstract:

A stream of a molten moisture curable organosiloxane composition is entrained in a current of a heated gas containing a concentration of water vapor below the saturation level of the gas at 25. degree. C. The gas current directs the organosiloxane composition toward the surface to be coated and provides an environment adjacent to the surface of the coated substrate that causes at least the surface layer of the composition to cure at a rate that is substantially constant and independent of the temperature and humidity in the macroscopic environment of the substrate.
