20110318478 | PARTICLES AND INKS AND FILMS USING THEM - Particles and particle films are provided. In certain examples, particles produced from a single phase process may be used to provide industrial scale synthesis of particles for use in devices such as printed wiring boards. | 12-29-2011 |
20120114927 | SINTERING MATERIALS AND ATTACHMENT METHODS USING SAME - Methods for die attachment of multichip and single components may involve printing a sintering paste on a substrate or on the back side of a die. Printing may involve stencil printing, screen printing, or a dispensing process. Paste may be printed on the back side of an entire wafer prior to dicing, or on the back side of an individual die. Sintering films may also be fabricated and transferred to a wafer, die or substrate. A post-sintering step may increase throughput. | 05-10-2012 |
20140153203 | METHODS FOR ATTACHMENT AND DEVICES PRODUCED USING THE METHODS - Methods for attachment and devices produced using such methods are disclosed. In certain examples, the method comprises disposing a capped nanomaterial on a substrate, disposing a die on the disposed capped nanomaterial, drying the disposed capped nanomaterial and the disposed die, and sintering the dried disposed die and the dried capped nanomaterial at a temperature of 300° C. or less to attach the die to the substrate. Devices produced using the methods are also described. | 06-05-2014 |
20140186524 | SOLVENT SYSTEMS FOR METALS AND INKS - Solvent systems and dispersions including such solvent systems for use in compositions including metals and inks are provided.

20130103297 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING A TAXI CLEARANCE - Methods and systems are provided for completing and displaying a taxi clearance for an aircraft at an airport. One exemplary method involves receiving an input taxi clearance including a first taxi path of a plurality of taxi paths at the airport and a second taxi path of the plurality of taxi paths that succeeds the first taxi path in the input taxi clearance, and determining a plurality of possible taxi routes between the first taxi path and the second taxi path. The method continues by identifying an optimal taxi route from among the plurality of possible taxi routes, and graphically indicating that the taxi clearance for the aircraft includes the optimal taxi route between the first taxi path and the second taxi path. | 04-25-2013 |
20130179060 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING OWNSHIP DEVIATION FROM ASSIGNED TAXIWAY CLEARANCE - Systems and methods for identifying ownship deviation from assigned taxi-clearance in the area of taxiway intersection. An exemplary system provides alerts in the event of a significant deviation from the assigned clearance, but does not give unwanted alerts when the flight crew is performing normal turning maneuvers in the area of an intersection. | 07-11-2013 |
20130201037 | DISPLAY OF AN AIRCRAFT TAXI CLEARANCE - A method and system are described for enhancing ground situational awareness to an aircrew via the display of an air traffic control ground clearance, including displaying a symbol for each stage of the clearance and highlighting each symbol when the aircraft occupies that stage. A stage is highlighted when the aircraft is to hold short of that stage. Additional highlights may be included as an alert. | 08-08-2013 |
20130342373 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TAXIWAY TRAFFIC ALERTING - Systems and methods for providing the crew of an airplane or vehicle with a potential traffic-threat alert. When the alert is triggered is based on presumed flight-crew action and reaction times, ownship speed, and required distance to safely stop the ownship before intersection with traffic. An exemplary system located aboard an ownship includes a communication device that receives information from a ground traffic; a memory device that stores ownship information and predefined constants; and a processing device that determines a distance to the traffic when the traffic passes the ownship after the ownship stops at an estimated full-stop location, based on the received ownship information and the predefined constants, determines distance to the ground traffic vehicle, based on the determined point in time, and generates a potential collision alert if the determined distance is less than a predefined safe distance value. An output device outputs the generated potential collision alert. | 12-26-2013 |
20140249736 | AUTONOMOUS AIRCRAFT GUIDING MOBILE UNIT - Embodiments of the subject application provide methods and systems for an autonomous aircraft guiding mobile unit (GMU). The GMU includes one or more light modules, one or more processing units, and one or more data storage mediums. The one or more data storage mediums include instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to receive control messages from a traffic control ground station (TCGS), the control messages assigning the GMU to an aircraft and controlling movement of the GMU and its assigned aircraft, and to provide light commands to a pilot of the assigned aircraft with the one or more light modules, the light commands directing movement of the assigned aircraft during taxiing. | 09-04-2014 |
