再成形（Re—Balled）焊球阵魏封装的焊球强度评估

近年来,许多国家禁止在电子产品中铅的使用,但是一些特定产品拥有豁免权。拥有豁免权的电子产品生产厂商面临含铅元器件供应缺乏的现状,因此生产厂商开始寻求利用焊球再成形技术把焊球阵列封装中的无铅焊球转变为锡铅焊球。焊球再成形技术曾经被用于元器件的回收再利用．但是关于焊球再成形元器件的可靠性信息十分有限。介绍了利用焊球再成形技术使无铅焊球阵列封装转变为锡铅焊球阵列封装。两种焊球去除方法和两种焊球再贴装方法分别用于实现从无铅焊球到锡铅焊球的转变,用以调查再成形工艺对于封装质量的影响。热时效试验以及焊球强度评估用于检测焊球再成形工艺过程。     

Application of mid-infrared spectroscopy to the development and transfer of a manufacturing process for an active pharmaceutical ingredient

The use of in situ mid-infrared spectroscopy to support the development of a pharmaceutical manufacturing process is disclosed. Data on this two-stage telescoped reaction from several reaction scales (<50 mL to 1600 liters) and at multiple manufacturing locations is shown. In addition to providing data on both reactions in the telescope, the mid-IR data has been used to monitor an intermediate distillation operation and therefore it has been possible to profile the whole process. Data is also shown on aliquot addition during the first chemical transformation, which is used to check the instrumentation.     

Effects of melamine on the Maillard reaction between lactose and phenylalanine

The effects of melamine on Maillard reaction were investigated in chemical model systems. The reaction products in the model systems with/without melamine were analysed by GC–MS and LC–MS/MS. Impact of melamine on Maillard browning in the above models was also examined by colourimetric methods. It was found that melamine can react directly with lactose and Strecker aldehydes formed in Maillard reactions to produce new adducts. In addition, the presence of melamine in chemical model systems also affects the formation of Maillard flavours and browning.     

Activities of hydrocolloids as inhibitors of acrylamide formation in model systems and fried potato strips

Effects of eight hydrocolloids on acrylamide (AA) formation were compared. At 2% (w/w), pectin, alginic acid (>50% reduction) and xanthan gum (∼20%) significantly (P < 0.05) reduced acrylamide formation in chemical models. In the fried snack model, effective inhibition of acrylamide formation (∼30%) by most of the hydrocolloids was observed only when the concentration was increased to 5%. Immersing potato strips for 1 h in a 1% alginic acid solution before frying produced inhibition of acrylamide formation similar to that in a 5% solution, and immersing for 5 h led to a significantly lower AA content (∼60% versus ∼30% reduction) compared with immersing for 1 h in a 1% or 5% immersion solution. Similar phenomena were also observed for pectin. The findings suggest alginic acid and pectin are promising inhibitors of acrylamide formation, and immersion time is an important determinant for their effects against acrylamide formation in fried potato products.

A miniature microbial fuel cell operating with an aerobic anode chamber

A miniature microbial fuel cell (mini-MFC) is described that utilizes an aerobic culture of Shewanella oneidensis DSP10 as the active electrochemical species in the anode chamber. We find that the maximum aerobic mini-MFC power without the addition of exogenous mediators was 0.40 mW, a 33% decrease when compared with an anaerobic DSP10 culture (0.6 mW) operating in the mini-MFC. This decrease is most likely due to the presence of dissolved oxygen in the anode chamber that scavenges electrons to form water, thereby reducing the number of electrons donated to the anode. Aerobic power and current density at maximum power using the true surface area of the anode (611 cm²) were calculated to be 6.5 mW m⁻² and 13 mA m⁻². The power density rises to 2.0 W m⁻² and 330 W m⁻³ when calculated using the cross-sectional area and volume of the device (2 cm², 1.2 cm³). The Coulombic efficiency was also reduced from 11 to 5% when using the aerobic versus anaerobic culture. Similar results were found when the external mediator anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) was added to the aerobic culture, resulting in a maximum power of 0.54 mW, a 37% drop in power when compared to the anaerobic mediated system.     

The effects of CaCl<Subscript>2</Subscript>-blended acrylic polymer emulsion on the properties of cement mortar

Although acrylic polymer emulsions have been reported to impart many desirable attributes to cement mortar; delayed hydration, excessive air entrapment and moisture induced loss of strength have been highlighted as constraints. This paper explores the utilization of hydrated calcium chloride blended-acrylic polymer emulsion (CP) as a mitigation measure to these aforementioned drawbacks. First, the effects of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of CP by mass of cement on the early-age cement paste hydration and mortar flow were investigated. Thereafter, the influence of CP on the hardened porosity, moist-cured compressive strength, initial rate of capillary water absorption and rapid chloride permeability (RCPT) were evaluated. Test results indicate that the addition of CP to pastes sped up the cement hydration process, accelerating the final setting time of pastes by approximately 0.5–1.5 h as the CP content of pastes increased. Moreover, CP slightly increased the flow of fresh mortar, the hardened porosity of mortar mixtures containing 0.5 and 1.0% CP were also comparable to those of the plain reference mortar. With the exception of the 1.5% CP blended mortar, the 14 days moist-cured compressive strength of 0.5–1.0% CP blended mortar mixtures were also comparable to that of the plain reference mixture. Relative to the reference mixture, the addition of CP to mortar reduced the initial rate of capillary water absorption of mortar, with the mixture containing 1.5% CP giving a maximum reduction of 23%. Conversely, RCPT results indicate that above 0.5% CP addition level, CP generally increased the electrical conductivity of mixtures.     

High voltage pulser with a fast fall-time for plasma immersion ion implantation

A novel high voltage (HV) modulator that offers a short fall time to minimize sputtering effects and allow more precise control of the incident ion fluence in plasma immersion ion implantation is described. The use of 36 insulated-gate bipolar transistors in the 30 kV hard-tube pulser reduces the HV fall time to 3.5 μs, compared to a fall time of 80 μs if a pull-down resister is used. The voltage balance is achieved by a voltage-balancing resistor, clamped capacitance, and the synchronization of drive signals. Compared to the traditional method employing a pull-down resister or an additional hard tube, our design consumes less power and is more economical and reliable.
