A pallet assembly capable of being fabricated on site as needed using a lie-flat (usually paper based) die-cut, overlapped and fixed product ("planar member"(3)) and a pair of forklift fork receiving members (2) (e.g. longitudinally halved tubes of laminated paper) capable of being spaced by the use of the planar member (3) in a deployed form. In use, the planar member (3) deploys to a form that h...

The present invention relates to an interposer substrate (310) for interconnecting between active electronic componentry such as but not limited to a single or multiple integrated circuit (4100) chips in either a single or a combination, and elements that could comprise of a mounting substrate, substrate module, a printed circuit board, integrated circuit chips or other substrates containing condu...

A method of laminating a structure comprises at least two layers and a photopolymerizable adhesive composition between the layers, at least one of the layers being opaque, colored, or reflective. One or both of the layers is transmissive to actinic radiation in wavelengths in the range of greater than 400 nm and up to 1200 nm. The photopolymerizable adhesive composition absorbs radiation in the id...
