SYS-CON Events announced today that MangoApps will exhibit at SYS-CON's 15th International Cloud Expo®, which will take place on November 4-6, 2014, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
Contact @MangoApps for your FREE @CloudExpo pass.
MangoApps provides private all-in-one social collaboration networks allowing workers to securely collaborate from anywhere in the world and from any device. Social, mobile, and easy to use. MangoApps has been named a "Market Leader" by Ovum Research and a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner. 10,000+ business customers worldwide.
Over the last two decades, needs of workers and workplace has evolved. The current set of collaboration tools (e.g. email, SharePoint) are outdated, restrict information distribution, create silos and are the exact opposite of what is needed to effectively work together in this decade.
From the very beginning, MangoApps goal was to bring as profound a change in how we collaborate as email did almost 20 years ago. The company founders wanted MangoApps to be a place where employees could not only talk about work, but do work! MangoApps goal was to make work life easy by providing a single tool employees could use thru' out the day for all their communication and collaboration needs.
After years of hard work, investments and product iterations, MangoApps 8.2 takes a giant step towards this goal. MangoApps 8.2 combines traditional intranet features like structured publishing with team collaboration and social networking making it the only product to provide a complete collaboration solution.

Introducing Dashboard – Your personalized widget overview
By Alankrit Gupta
With the release 9.0 MangoApps introduces dashboard in a widget-based model.
A lot of thought went into making the dashboard, a collection of various widget-based modules within MangoApps. Our main objective while designing the widget-based dashboard was to increase functionality and customizability.
The user benefits from using widgets in the following ways:
Availability of rich controls (Text box, Images, RSS, Notes, External Source Integrator)
Having consistent, versatile display of information
Efficient management of external resources (JavaScript, CSS, images, etc.), which leads to fast and standard compliant pages
The dashboard offers a number of great new features. They are as follows [continued]

With the arrival of the Big Data revolution, a data professional is expected to master a broad spectrum of complex domains including data processing, mathematics, programming languages, machine learning techniques, and business knowledge.

The concept of a cloud facilitating applications is by no means new. Those of us who diagrammed network connectivity around 1993 will recall drawing a big puffy cloud symbol in between two local area networks. The cloud represented the mysterious Internet – that mash-up of routers and other items bouncing our packets back and forth through millions of ports, only to reassemble the bytes on the other end into – hopefully — the same item that was sent. Today, we have dissipated that nebulous clou...

The Stanley Cup is back in the city of big shoulders and short memories, delivered by a Chicago team that featured neither.
The Blackhawks started the lockout-shortened NHL season so fast, they were the team to beat for months. But they still couldn't outmuscle anybody. They were all about speed and skill, advantages that get squeezed tighter, round by round, in the defensive vise of the postseason.

Religion news in Wisconsin and beyond
Noted theologian Hauerwas at Nashotah House this week
Christian ethicist Stanley Hauerwas, one of the nation's foremost theologians, will be in Wisconsin this week, delivering the commencement address for Nashotah House Theological Seminary on Thursday and a public lecture at the school the evening before.
Hauerwas, the Gilbert T. Rowe professor of theological ethics at Duke University Divinity School, has written extensively on Christian moral theology, including issues ranging from the role of church in society to medical ethics and war and peace.
Described as a contrarian and provocateur, Hauerwas was named America's Best Theologian by Time magazine in 2001. and his 1981 book "A Community of Character: Toward a Constructive Christian Social Ethic" appears on Christianity Today's list of the most important religion books of the 20th Century.
His 2010 memoir, "Hannah's Child" recounts his own exploration of faith as it took him from his hardscrabble Texas childhood to Harvard Divinity School and beyond.
Hauerwas will speak on medical ethics and a Christian perspective on health in "A Suffering Presence: Twenty-Five Years Later" at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Adams Hall at the Seminary. The seminary's 167th commencement, where Hauerwas will speak on the life and work of the priesthood, will follow at 10 a.m. Thursday at St. Jerome Catholic Church in Oconomowoc.

I was adding objects to an exisitng Form when I received a message indicating that I could not add anymore objects. The warning message said I could rename the Form and continue adding objects. I gave the form a new name and was able to continue adding objects. When I finished adding my new objects, I then renamed the form back to the original name. Now the command button that was used to run some codes, queries and open various forms including the form I modified, no longer works! When I click on the command button, nothing happens.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to re-enable the link., ie. if this is what's happening.

Gallery: Luminous Lamps Made from Recycled Washing Machine Drums
These spectacular lamps may appear as if they've been pulled off the latest superstar designer's mass-production line, but look again — they're actually washing machine drums recycled into amazing lighting! Designed by Alex Kovatchev, the "Wash Lamp" is a great eco-friendly idea that takes the barrel of an out-of-service washing machine and capitalizes on its minimalist circular formation, perforated surface and stainless steel finish to create an awesome piece of illumination able to wash an entire space in a multifaceted light. And if you've already amassed your fair share of pendant lamps, this piece is also available as an easily affixable wall light and an ottoman for lustrous low-to-the-ground seating.

I was wondering if you got any ideas for the rest of the washing machine?? I need to write an essay on the reuse/recycling of two major components of a washing machine. Though I can find many suggestions for the drum I'm struggling with the rest of the machine. I also wondered if its possible to remove the drum without damaging the cube shape?? Could the steal frame be used as a planter box, raised vegetable garden? Hopefully you got some suggestions. By the way loved the lighting idea!

Dryer drums are nice bits to also salvage for various industrial design themed furniture.

Vina Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc 120
Vina Santa Rita - Valle Central - Chile - Curico - Lontue Valley
Sauvignon Blanc is widely considered to be one of the finest varietals of white wine grapes. The green skinned fruit is notable for ripening relatively early in the year, due to the fact that it prefers milder temperatures and cannot maintain its distinctive flavors in hot climates. As such, it has become a favorite grape varietal for wineries in many very different countries around the world, where it can benefit from brisk, coastal breezes and mild early summers. Sauvignon Blanc is revered for its freshness and zesty character, and generally produces wines which are dry and very crisp on the palate. However, there are a wide variety of wines produced from this wonderfully versatile grape with many wineries preferring to age the fermented juices in oak, or allowing malolactic fermentation to add a creamier, buttery finish to the grassy and tropical, citrus flavors it often carries.
The Valle Central of Chile is widely regarded as being one of the oldest 'New World' wine regions of earth, with a history that extends back over five hundred years to the time of the first European settlers in South America. Whilst they were mainly preoccupied with planting vines for the production of sacramental wines, today, the wine industry of Valle Central has never been stronger. With a wide range of vines flourishing in the region, thanks to the many micro-climates the valley provides, wineries can make the most of their particular location and produce fully ripened grapes of exquisite flavour and character. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Carmenere grow very well all throughout the various areas within Valle Central, and the region is developing a serious reputation for excellence on the world stage.
When considering the rich and fertile central valleys of Chile, where we find most of the oldest, grandest and established wineries, it is difficult to imagine a more suited landscape for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Mineral rich soils, eight months of sunshine per year, oceanic winds and clear water running down the mountainsides it is little wonder that the imported Old World grapes do so well here. Chile is renowned world-wide for producing highly drinkable wines, packed full of fruit-forward character and enjoyed young and fresh, as well as being home to more complex wines reminiscent of many Old World varieties. Whilst the Cabernet Sauvignon is widely regarded as being Chile's 'flagship' grape varietal, equally fine produce comes from Chardonnay grapes (indeed, the Sol de Sol Chardonnays are widely agreed to be amongst the New World's finest white wines) the plummy Merlot and silky, intense Pinot Noir.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Ok, I've been searching all moring and haven't had a clear defining answer yet. I would like to know how to use the % symbol properly in my technical writing.
ie. The motor speed is set in the range of 0 to 100%.
Is there to be a percent sign after the 0 as well? Do I just spell out the word percent at the end? HELP!!
I think in that instance you might be better off using: 0 to 100 percent.
That's what I was leaning towards, but wanted another opinion. Thanks! Greatly appreciated.
You could use 0 percent to 100 percent (with the symbols), but that would sound stuffy.
You could also go with 0-100% (with an en dash where I used a hyphen).

9.19 Percentages. Percentages are always given in numerals. In humanistic copy the word percent is used; in scientific and statistical copy, or in humanistic copy that includes numerous percentage figures, the symbol % is more appropriate.

text:
At its most basic level, a filter is a program that accepts input, transforms it and outputs the transformed data. The idea of the filter is closely associated with several ideas that are part of the UNIX operating system: standard input and output, input/output redirection and pipes.
Standard input and output refer to default locations from which a program will take input and to which it will write output. The standard input (STDIN) for a program running interactively at the command line is the keyboard; the standard output (STDOUT) is the terminal screen.
With input/output redirection, a program can take input or send output using a location other than standard input or output—a file, for example. Redirection of STDIN is accomplished using the < symbol, redirection of STDOUT by >. For example,
ls > list
redirects the output of the ls command, which would normally go to the screen, into a file called list. Similarly,
cat < listredirects the input for cat, which in the absence of a file name would be expected from the keyboard, to come from the file list--so we output the contents of that file to the screen.
Pipes are a means of connecting programs together through I/O redirection. The symbol for pipe is |. For example,
ls | less
is a common way of comfortably viewing the output from a directory listing where there are more files than will fit on the screen.
Simple programs provided as standard with your Linux system can be enhanced by using them as filters for other similar programs. I'll also show how simple programs of your own can be built to meet custom filtering needs.
One program I don't look at in this article is Perl. Perl is a programming language in its own right, and filters are language-independent.
The program grep, "Get Regular Expression and Print", is a good place to begin. (See "Take Command: grep" by Jan Rooijackers, March 1999.) The principle of grep is quite simple: search the input for a pattern, then output the pattern. For example,
grep 'Linus Torvalds' *
searches all files in the current directory for Linus' name.
Various command-line switches may be used to modify grep's behaviour. For example, if we aren't sure about case, we can write
grep -y 'linus torvalds' *
The -y switch tells grep to match without considering case. If you use any upper-case letters in the pattern, however, they will still match only upper-case. (This is broken in GNU grep, which simply ignores case when given the -y switch—that's what the -i switch does).
With just this bit of information about grep, it is easy to construct a practical application. For example, you could store name and address details in a file to create a searchable address book.
Sometimes, basic grep won't do. For instance, suppose we want to find all occurrences of a text string which could possibly be a reference to Linus. Clearly, searching for 'Linus Torvalds' is not enough—that won't find just Linus or Torvalds. We need some way of saying, "This or this or this". Here is where egrep (extended grep) comes in. This handy program modifies standard grep to provide just such a conditional syntax by using the | character to denote "or".
egrep 'Linus Torvalds|L\. Torvalds|Mr\. Torvalds' *
will now find most ways of naming the inventor of Linux. Note the backslash to "escape" the period. Since it is a special character in regular expressions, we must tell egrep not to interpret it as a "magic" character.
tr is perhaps the epitome of filters. (See "Take Command: A Little Devil Called tr" by Hans de Vreught, September, 1998.) Short for translate, tr basically does what its full name suggests: it changes a given character or set of characters to another character or set of characters. This is done by mapping input characters to output characters. An example will make this clear:
tr A-Z a-z
changes upper-case letters to lower-case. A-Z is shorthand for "all the letters from A to Z".

It has been determined that, under certain circumstances, use of the brake pedal may not disengage the cruise control as expected. All other means of disengaging the cruise control should remain effective. If the driver were to "pump" the brake pedal instead of applying consistent force, the level of force necessary to disengage the cruise control may be unusually high. Dealers will perform the repairs necessary to correct this concern. The recall is expected to begin September of 2011.
2000 Mercedes-Benz ML320 Reviews
I love my ML320! First of all the leather interior is beautiful and has held up nicely with kids and dogs :). Secondly it has never broken down on me. I have had to do some minor but expected repairs, and its been a great car. It does take synthetic oil but you only have to change the oil every 12,000 miles so it doesn't cost any more than changing a regular car every 3,000-5,000, andf it saves...
You have no business buying a vehicle like this unless you have a lot of extr4a cash. It's a bouncy ride. The dealership is a rip off, as they all are. Parts are exorbitant. The need for hi test negates any cost-saving measures. And there are so maNY better vehicles you can get for much less money.
This is a great car. But there is a little problem with the AC and we have to recharge it. Where is the ac gauge so i can recharge it?

Amazon/Overstock Gamble May Pay Off [View article]
More Bad news for those opposed to the tax. A Supreme Court justice in Manhattan has dismissed the lawsuit saying that Amazon and Overstock have no basis for the legal action. They have the right to appeal and this could go all the way up to the US Supreme Court. Of course in the meantime, New Yorkers are stuck paying sales tax on most internet purchases.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Madoff World [View article]Dec 14, 2008. 04:28 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
The amount of actual cashback has been fluctuating. After a steady few days at 30%, it fell to 25% last night and 20% this morning. Even more interesting is the questionable practices that a number of eBay sellers have been implementing to abuse the cashback program. For example, I've seen $500 gift cards selling at $600 "Buy It Now" or higher. After all, after a 30% cashback, the buyer would still only be paying $420 for a $500 gift card, but the Seller would be getting $600!
The forums have interesting stories as well. I read about one enterprising individual who buys items on ebay, gets his cashback and then immediately reposts them on ebay at the original price. He pockets the cashback profit. Sometimes he will even have the original seller ship directly to his buyer and no one is the wiser.
I also read about one unscrupulous pair of brothers who posted and sold items to eachother. No property actually changed hands but they would split the cashback. So one would post a non-existent item for $500, the other would purchase it immediately and they would split the $150 profit (less any minor ebay/paypal fees).
This is a complete abuse of the cashback program and may end up hurting ebay much more than it realized!Dec 3, 2008. 08:31 AM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
To Mr Jackdee
I enjoyed your comment very much as it gave me a chuckle, I like your sense of humor. But just to clarify, as I said in the article, this promotion isn't new in itself nor did I ever claim that a 10% promo coupon was something new (though it is rare to receive one - my wife received a coupon, I did not and rarely have). I believe others have expounded upon the deeper issues that I touched upon so I don't feel obligated to repeat them again here. But there is another issue you have missed: While you and I may have known about the promotion, I believe by far the majority of Americans did not and I wanted to help spread the holiday cheer. Of course there are some who may agree with you and turn their noses up when offered 30-40% off their holiday shopping bills. But I think most Americans would be very happy to save so much, this season more so than ever before. Times are tough these days and I'd like to think that maybe my article helped make them a little brighter for some.
Though caveat emptor- some ebay sellers have started raising their prices now that they are aware of the cashback program. Make sure your final price is still a deal.
Now tell me, where can I find me one of those new Lisa computers you were talking about?Dec 2, 2008. 09:41 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
To Mr. Hernje, I'm afraid I don't really understand your comment. My apologies if my writing was not clear. What I meant is that I like eBay for being eBay and Amazon for being Amazon and I shop accordingly. I feel that eBay is trying to compete head to head against Amazon and is changing their business model to be more like them. I have bought and sold items on eBay both personally and professionally for over 10 years and believe I have a good understanding of the way the company works. But in recent years, I have become increasingly dissastisfied with the way they have run their business and over that time, I have been using their site considerably less. The majority of my dissatisfaction has come with the changes that have impacted sellers rather than buyers though. eBay is still my best bet if I'm looking to buy or sell an obscure item. Otherwise I'm more likely to use Amazon. Or at least I was until they started charging sales tax. But that's a different story which can be found here: seekingalpha.com/artic...

Amazon/Overstock Gamble May Pay Off [View article]
Thank you all for your comments and thank you to user "dumb money 76" for providing some interesting contrast to my article. Mr. (or Ms.) dumb money 76, you are correct on several points. As I mentioned in the article, New Yorkers have always been required to pay sales tax on their online purchases but few if any do. In a similar vein, people are supposed to pay income tax on the profits they make from selling their old junk at garage sales or on eBay. But again, few do. What I failed to mention however, is that one has to keep in mind why brick and mortar stores charge sales tax. The money is used for services that benefit these stores such as maintaining roads, repairing electricity, trash collection, etc. Amazon, Overstock and other sites based outside of NY receive no such benefits. NY's "Amazon Tax" may be closing a loophole in the law or even leveling the playing field as you suggest, but I'm not convinced Amazon should be subsidizing the government services that Barnes & Noble receive in NY. And is it really leveling the field? There are advantages and disadvantages to buying an item online besides sales tax. A customer may save on the sales tax but at the same time, they may have to pay much more for shipping and/or endure lengthy ship times. And in the spirit of true competition, Barnes & Noble should not petition that Amazon be forced to charge sales tax as well (brick and mortar companies have been lobbying for this law for years) but rather should be forced to find creative ways at competing with Amazon on their own core strengths (price is one of Amazon's core strengths not theirs). For instance, one way Barnes and Noble successfully accomplished this has been by offering Manhattan customers same day delivery, something Amazon's business model could never offer.
Perhaps a solution would be to charge sales tax to all customers with the tax revenues going to the website's home state. For instance, Overstock is based in Utah, so it might make more sense for them to charge Utah sales tax on all sales which could be used to subsidize services within their own state, not New York. But of course that would involve a huge overhaul of our current tax laws. But am I against a sales tax as some readers have suggested? As a consumer, I of course prefer paying lower prices for items but as a U.S. citizen I appreciate the value that paying taxes offers to society. But those who made this accusation are missing the point. The question isn't whether Amazon should be charging tax to New Yorkers, the question is whether New York's new law is technically illegal? And regardless, is it bad for New York? While I am no law expert, I think it is a stretch to claim affiliates qualify as a legal presence. And yes, I do think it can hurt NY businesses. First of all, if NY succeeds in keeping this tax on the books, other states are virtually guaranteed to pass similar laws of their own. Which means people may shun NY based internet companies, for those based in states that haven't passed such a law. Additionally, larger internet stores will likely follow Overstock's lead and shun them as well. Overstock may have been trying to send a message to Albany that the law will hurt NY businesses, but it was also a simple mathematical equation. As explained in their most recent earnings call transcript (seekingalpha.com/artic...), they calculated that they would lose more business by charging sales tax to New Yorkers than they would by abandoning their NY affiliates. If NY actually fights the lawsuits and wins, I think we will be seeing Amazon employ the same math and if their calculation brings the same result, Amazon's affiliates will be out the door as well. Why haven't they done this yet? Amazon is very focused on customer service and my hunch is that they believe NY will either back down or lose the lawsuit. If that happens, there will be no need to kick out their NY affiliates and will have generated tremendous goodwill by not having done so. Especially in light of Overstock's abandonment of theirs. Plus many of Overstock's 3,400 NY affiliates will likely join Amazon now that Overstock has closed its doors to them. When this all blows over, many of them will probably choose not to rejoin Overstock. So as much as I hate paying more at Amazon, I thin this was a good move for them.
As for the user "Lisa" who requested an update, there unfortunately isn't much to report. While a bill to repeal the law has passed the Senate by a wide margin (voting 6-24-08), it wasn't passed until the last day of New York's Session. The bill still needs to be approved by the Assembly to become law and that can't happen before the next Session which will not be until January, 2009.
Meanwhile, I'm afraid my article may have been overly optimistic. Even if the bill to repeal the tax passes the Assembly, according to Saul Hansell at the NY Times (bits.blogs.nytimes.com.../), it seems that Governor Paterson will likely veto it. So at the end of the day, those that want to see the Amazon tax repealed may have their hopes hinge on the outcome of Amazon and Overstock's lawsuits. And that could take a long time to resolve. It will also cost NY taxpayers a lot of money in lawyer's fees. Unfortunately, New York is very creative at finding ways to charge sales tax and if they lose the lawsuits, they'll likely find some other way to increase tax revenues. Anyone else remember when New York State sent agents to stake out New Jersey malls in 1992 to record NY license plate numbers? They were trying to crackdown on New Yorkers crossing the border to save on the lower taxes. It makes me wonder if New York would be more effective in increasing tax revenues by being competitive and actually lowered the NY tax rate. Then maybe our neighboring states would be flocking to NY stores instead of the other way around.

Disclosed is a high solidus temperature, high service temperature, high strength multi-component solder alloy containing a major portion of Sn, and effective amounts of Ag, Bi and In. Preferably the solder alloy contains 78.4 weight percent Sn, 2.0 weight % Ag, 9.8 weight % Bi, and 9.8 weight % In.
1. A high solidus temperature, high service temperature, high strength multi-component solder alloy consisting essentially of 78.4 weight percent Sn, 2.0 weight % Ag, 9.8 weight % Bi, and 9.8 weight % In.
The present invention relates to lead free, low toxicity solder alloys that are particularly useful in microelectronic applications. The solder alloys of the invention contain a major portion of Sn, and lesser portions of Bi, In, and Ag, are high strength multi-component solder alloys. These alloys are particularly useful in joining integrated circuit chips to chip carriers and substrates, as printed circuit boards, joining chip carriers to substrates, and joining circuitization lands and pads in multilayer printed circuit boards.
Soldering is a low temperature, generally reversible, metallurgical joining process. Low temperature and reversibility are especially important in electronics applications because of the materials involved and the necessity for reworking and making engineering changes.
Solder joining is a wetting process followed by a chemical reaction. Molten solder wets selectively. The selective wettability of solders allow molten solder to be confined to desired sites. This is especially important in flip chip bonding, and in working with solder masks.
The soldering process can be accomplished as quickly as the wetting takes place, for example, on the order of a few seconds. This makes soldering particularly desirable for automated, high speed, high throughput processes.
Wettability is also a function of the materials to be joined, with Cu, Ni, Au, and Pd, as well as alloys rich in one or more of these metals, being particularly amenable to soldering.
The chemical reaction following wetting is between the molten solder and the joining metallurgy to form an intermetallic phase region at the interface. The intermetallic phases formed by solders in electronic packaging are stoichiometric compounds, typically binary compounds, and typically containing Sn if Sn is present in the solder alloy. When the base, pad, or land is Cu, and the solder alloy is rich is Sn, the intermetallic formed during soldering is Cu-Sn. Exemplary Cu-Sn binaries include Cu3 Sn and Cu6 Sn5.
Solder alloys are characterized by the melting temperature being a strong function of composition. While a pure metal is characterized by a single, invariant, melting temperature, the freezing and melting points of alloys are complex. The freezing point of an alloy is determined by the liquidus line. Above the liquidus line only a liquid phase or phases can exist. The melting point of an alloy is determined by the solidus line. Below the solidus line only a solid phase or phases can exist. In the region between these two lines, i.e., between the liquidus line and the solidus line, solid and liquid phases can co-exist.
The preferred soldering alloys are eutectics, that is, they are characterized by a eutectic point. The eutectic point is where the liquidus and solids lines meet. A concentration change in either direction from the eutectic results in an increase in the liquidus temperature.
The composition, and the quench rate, also determine the microstructure and the resulting mechanical properties of the solder joint. Thus, it is necessary to both carefully choose the solder composition and to carefully control the thermal exposure of the soldered joint.
A solder composition used in electronics fabrication must be wettable as a solder alloy, and have at least one component capable of forming an electrically conductive, thermally stable, non-brittle, plastic intermetallic with the pad or land metallurgy. For this reason, the most common solder alloys are lead based alloys, as Sn-Pb alloys.
Heretofore, Pb/Sn solders have been utilized for electronic applications. There have been many historical reasons for the wide spread use of Pb/Sn alloys. These historical reasons include the low solidus temperature of Pb/Sn solder alloys, the workability of Pb/Sn alloys and of the resulting Cu/Sn intermetallics (formed at the solder/Cu contact interface) over a wide temperature range, the adhesion of Cu/Sn intermetallics obtained from Pb/Sn alloys to Cu lands and pads, and the ready availability of process equipment and low cost adjuncts, as resins, fluxes, and solder masks, for Pb/Sn alloys.
The relatively low temperatures required for processing Pb/Sn solder alloys are particularly important when polymeric dielectrics are used in the fabrication of electronic packages. These polymers can degrade in high temperature assembly operations. Solder alloys which melt at relatively low temperatures can accommodate these polymeric substrates.
Additionally, semiconductor chips are subject to thermal diffusion and structural transformations at elevated temperatures. Low melting solders avoid these problems.
Especially important is the "softness" or plasticity of lead based solders. This softness or plasticity allows the solder to accommodate the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion between the bonded structures, for example the mismatch in coefficient of thermal of thermal expansion between a ceramic dielectric and a polymeric dielectric, or between a semiconductor chip and a ceramic or polymeric chip carrier or substrate.
However, lead is a toxic, heavy metal with a relatively high vapor pressure. Its use is disfavored, and a need exists for a replacement.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,797,328 to Boehm et al for SOFT-SOLDER ALLOY FOR BONDING CERAMIC ARTICLES describes soft-solder alloys for bonding ceramic parts without premetallization. The alloys, which are disclosed to be useful for bonding alumina parts to copper parts, contain from 86 to 99% Sn, from 0 to 13% Ag and/or Cu, from 0 to 10% In, and from 1 to 10% Ti.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,806,309 to Stanley Tulman for TIN BASE LEAD-FREE SOLDER COMPOSITION CONTAINING BISMUTH, SILVER, AND ANTIMONY describes solder compositions containing from 90 to 95% Sn, from 3 to 5% Sb, from 1 to 4.5% Bi, and from 0.1 to 0.5% Ag. Tulman describes the use of Bi to lower the melting point of the solder to about 425 degrees F. (218 degrees C.).
It is a primary object of this invention to provide a lead free solder.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a lead free solder that wets and forms a chemically and thermally stable bond with the bonding metallurgy typically used in electronics fabrication, e.g., Cu, Au, Ag, and Pd, especially while avoiding wetting organic materials as substrates and solder masks.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a lead free solder having that flows at low enough temperatures to avoid damage to electronic materials.
According to the invention, the above objects are achieved, and the shortcomings of the prior art are overcome by a high solidus temperature, high service temperature, high strength multi-component solder alloy containing a major portion of Sn, and effective amounts of Ag, Bi and In.
According to the invention, the above objects are achieved, and the shortcomings of the prior art are overcome by a high solidus temperature, high service temperature, high strength multi-component solder alloy containing a major portion of Sn, and effective amounts of Ag, Bi and In.
Thus, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is provided a solder alloy containing about 78 weight percent Sn, about 2.0 weight % Ag, about 9.8 weight % Bi, and about 9.8 weight % In.
According to one preferred embodiment of the invention there is provided a method of electrically connecting an integrated circuit chip to a circuitized substrate. This interconnection method includes the step of depositing a solder alloy comprising Sn, Ag, Bi and In onto electrical contacts of the integrated circuit chip. Typically, the alloy contains about 78 weight percent Sn, about 2.0 weight % Ag, about 9.8 weight % Bi, and about 9.8 weight % In. The solder alloy may be applied by wave solder deposition, electrodeposition, or as a solder paste.
The electrical leads of the circuitized substrate are then brought into contact with the solder alloy on the electrical contacts of the integrated circuit chip. Where the chip is to be mounted in a "flip chip" conformation, the current leads of the circuitized substrate are pads on the substrate, and the solder alloy deposits are brought into contact with the pads. Alternatively, where the integrated circuit chip is mounted right side up, the current leads are wire leads, and tab inner lead connections, and they are brought into contact with the solder alloy contacts on the top surface of the integrated circuit chip.
While the substrate current leads and the solder deposits are maintained in contact the solder alloy is heated to cause the solder alloy to wet and bend to the electrical leads of the circuitized substrate. Heating may be by vapor phase reflow, infrared reflow, laser reflow, or the like.
The resulting microelectronic circuit package of the invention is an integrated circuit chip module with a circuitized chip carrier, i.e., a substrate, a semiconductor integrated circuit chip, and a Sn, Ag, Bi and In alloy (preferably containing about 78 weight percent Sn, about 2.0 weight % Ag, about 9.8 weight % Bi, and about 9.8 weight % In) solder bond electrical interconnection between the circuitized chip carrier and the semiconductor integrated circuit chip.
The invention may be understood by reference to the examples appended hereto.
A solder alloy was prepared. The sample had the composition shown below:
______________________________________Alloy Sn Ag Bi In______________________________________1 78.4 2.0 9.8 9.8______________________________________
While the invention has been described with respect to certain preferred embodiments and exemplifications, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention thereby, but solely by the claims appended hereto.

The brake lines look great and fit my bike. However, I have dual brakes up front so this set-up requires a splitter. All three brake lines leak at the splitter. I didn't realize this at first because they only leak after driving it a bit, not after installation or the many attempts at making adjustments, while it's sitting in my garage. But after a 12 mile drive to work they're all leaking and a little brake fluid goes a long way. Waiting to see what J&P can do about it. I don't know if I would recommend this kit. I might spend a little more next time and hope for a better result.
