Electroforming Process U.S. Patent 5614,075. Mar. 251997 L.E.Andrea, Bedford, Texas

A method of fabricating a metallic, three-dimensional object or part comprising determining dimensional boundaries of the part within a computer CAD/CAM system; providing a reference surface; forming a first incremental layer of polymeric mold material on the reference surface, the incremental layer being selectively interrupted to define at least one dimensional boundary of the part; forming a first incremental layer of metallic part material upon at least the interruption in the first incremental layer of mold material, wherein a second reference surface is defined by the first incremental layer of mold material and the first layer of part material; forming a second incremental layer of polymeric mold material upon the second reference surface, the second incremental layer being selectively interrupted to define another at least one dimension of the part; forming a second incremental layer of metallic part material upon at least the second reference surface; repeating until all dimensional boundaries are defined and the part is fully fabricated, wherein each of the steps is

implemented controller.

Electroetching Process U.S. Patent 5,614,076. Mar. 25, 1997 D.J. Brophv et al., a&gnofs to IBM Corp., Annonk, N.Y

A method and tool for electroetching a masked workpiece, comprising fixing it to a portion of a sidewall of an electrolyte reservoir tank, mounting two movable cathode assemblies on guide rails via at least one transverse support member to the electrolyte reservoir tank, driving means for driving the two movable cathode assemblies in synchronous unison motion across respective opposing surfaces of the masked workpiece; and upon flowing electrolyte simultaneously applying an electrical field through the two movable cathode assemblies and thereby electroetching the masked workpiece.

Filter Manufactured by Electropolishing U.S. Patent 5614,093. Mar. 257997 H.H. Mueggenburg et al, assignors to AerojetGenera/ Corp., Sacramento, Catif. A self-cleaning

comprising

microscopic pore filter a substantially planar laminate

of platelets, each less than 0.1 in. in thickness and etched by electropolishing in patterns such that the etched regions of adjacent platelets overlap to form a plurality of flow passages sufficiently small to block passage of particles exceeding 0.01 in. in diameter.

Detackifying Paint Spray Booth Water U.S. Patent 5614,103. Mar. 25, 1997 H.B. Agree et a/., assignors to BetzDearborn Inc., Trevose, Pa.

Henkel’s odd-chain EMEROX@Azelaic Acid (l-9 Nonanedioic Acid) is a natural-based, g-carbon, saturated,lOO% straight chain dibasic acid. It performs better than even-carbon dibasic acids by: ?? Improving flexibility; ?? Providing derivatives with lower melting points than even-chain acids; ?? Providing better solubility characteristics; and ?? Improving dye receptivity. Available Azelaic Acid grades: . EMEROX@ 1110 technical grade, with approximately 98% dibasic acid content, ?? EMEROX@ 1144 polymer grade, with a minimum 99.5% dibasic acid content. Applications include nylon engineering plastics and fibers; polyester fibers, films and adhesives; urethane elastomers and elastomeric fibers; lubricant basestocks; lithium complex greases; thermosetting polyester resins; epoxy flexibilizers; PVC plasticizers; and corrosion inhibitors.
