To accommodate high power densities associated with high performance integrated circuits, an integrated circuit package includes a heat-dissipating structure in which heat is dissipated from a surface of one or more dice to an integrated heat spreader (IHS) through a high capacity thermal spreader formed of diamond, a diamond composite, or graphite. In one embodiment, a diamond layer is grown on t...

A soil-based disposal trench that has failed from a biomat slime is recovered by adding a facultative anaerobic bacteria to an effluent that flows into the disposal trench. The facultative anaerobic bacteria consumes the biomat slime and, in one embodiment, supplants a strictly aerobic bacteria in the soil that converts nitrites to nitrates. As a result, the facultative anaerobic bacteria interrup...

An insulation product includes an elongated batt (110) of fibrous insulation material, and a facing (64) adhered to a major surface of the batt. The facing is a coextruded polymer film of barrier (80) and bonding (82) (and preferably carrier (84)) layers, with the bonding layer having a softening point lower than the softening point of the barrier layer. The bonding layer can include one or more o...
