With stinking hot weather forecast for the week, Manawatu Golf Club course superintendent Malcolm Wells isn't panicking.
The four-day LawnMaster Classic starts on Thursday and he has been applying the usual amount of water on the course in mornings and nights for this time of summer.
And he won't be pushing the championship tees to extremes, even if the LawnMaster is a Charles Tour event for the first time and includes 50 professionals.
There are few areas where the blue tees can be lengthened, anyway.
"There's no use getting silly about it," said Wells. "The golf course is what it is. I would rather people shoot 20 under [par] than 5 over."
He said the public preferred to see birdies and eagles from the elite players.
Wells will see the course first-hand from a player's perspective because, as usual, he is playing in the LawnMaster. He will help his staff prepare the course early each morning before the 7.30am tee-offs.
"The course is good. The focus has been on the greens being smooth and reasonably quick. It is no use having them fast and bouncy."
A gang of volunteer club members scoured the course yesterday, picking up debris following Saturday's blow.
The special yellow pins will go out for the event.
The pro-am takes place tomorrow, largely peopled by corporate sponsors to raise a good proportion of the prize money of $40,000.
The 16 morning teams pay $350 each and the 34 teams in the afternoon pay $450, each team playing with one professional.
Manawatu's New Zealand amateur player Josh Munn, fresh off his big win in the Greater Lake Macquarie Golf Championship in New South Wales, will play in the pro-am. But that will be it for him because he then has to fly out with fellow New Zealand representative Tyler Hodge (Levin) to the Ten Nations international event in South Africa.
For the first two days there will be a two-tee start in the mornings and afternoons before the cut of the top 60 and ties are made on Friday afternoon.
Come Sunday and the winner will win $7200.
Many of New Zealand's best will be playing in the British Open qualifying in Melbourne this week and while Michael Hendry, Mark Brown and Ryan Fox won't be back from there for the LawnMaster, Josh Geary and former Manawatu-Whanganui player Hamish Robertson will fly back and have been given afternoon starts on Thursday.
Today, most of the pro field for Manawatu were playing in the Jimmy Napier Classic Pro-Am at Martinborough in Wairarapa.
Former NZ Open winner Mahal Pearce withdrew yesterday because of a back strain. He could barely get out of bed after a week of physiotherapy.
Martin Webber has also pulled out because his wife has been in hospital.

Customer Reviews
Could be great
This could be a great app if it actually worked. The buttons that you "select" once you have picked up an item are too small and often you end up opening item info instead. Which is just annoying. 9 times out of 10 the app crashes midway through picking up my groceries. When I open it back up any items that had been checked off as picked are back in my shopping list. And most recently this app has been as slow as Christmas. Every little thing you click or type takes forever. All the little annoyances add up to a useless app. Which is disappointing because it could be really convenient if it worked well.
App not working error 500
I loved this app for months. I could order deli items and they were ready at pick up time. For several weeks I have been getting an error 500 and can't order. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I have rebooted the phone, nothing is fixing it. I have a knee issue and stand long in line, please fix this.
I updated my review because the issue was resolved. I was instructed to clear the cookies in Safari and it worked. Thank you!
Basket button does not work
This app is potentially so useful that I switched from Kroger to Publix for a few weeks, just because of the feature that shows me what aisle my entire list is on in any Publix. However, the little button on the left where you check off your groceries is so close to the word that 90% of the time when you click it, it pulls open the item for editing, instead of moving the item to your basket. Therefore the app is almost useless and I have decided to go back to Kroger.

Wisconsin Ag News Headlines
Wolf Permit Drawing Will Occur Today
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/15/2013
Nearly 17,000 people submitted applications for this year's wolf hunting season. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, that number will be narrowed down to about 2,500 permits today.
"This is Wisconsin's second state-managed wolf hunt, and a continued testament to the recovery of wolves in Wisconsin," said Dave MacFarland, DNR carnivore specialist. "As we did for the inaugural hunt, we are entering this second season cautiously and will continue to learn valuable information for updating the state's wolf management plan and adopting permanent wolf hunting rules. We are anticipating another successful, safe, season."
The wolf quota, as recommended by the Wolf Advisory Committee and approved by the Natural Resources Board, was set at 275. However, the number of wolves available for harvest by state hunters and trappers has been adjusted to 251, in response to the recent declaration of wolves by the Chippewa Bands of Wisconsin.
In order to meet management objectives, putting downward pressure on the population, the number of wolves removed from the landscape needs to increase this year, said MacFarland.
One half of available permits will be issued randomly among all permit applications and the second half will be issued through a cumulative preference point drawing. Successful applicants will be notified by letter. Applicants who are not successful in the drawing will be awarded a preference point toward future drawings.
The 2013 wolf season starts October 15 and will run until the quota is reached in each zone or the last day of February, whichever occurs first.

It is well known to form a box from a single sheet of solid fiberboard. Typically, solid fiberboard has a plurality of plies of kraft adhesively secured together. Such boxes are held together by securing together overlapping portions thereof with staples or an adhesive. Where substantial shear strength such as 100 psi. between the portions secured together is required the use of an adhesive is unsatisfactory since as heretofore employed it failed to prevent shearing between inner plies by relatively low shear forces. Thus where high shear strength is required it has been necessary heretofore to employ staples. However, for applications such as for transporting and storing bags of explosives which are susceptible to being opened by the staples and rendered sensitive by any rust particles from the staples, the employment of staples has been unsatisfactory. In accordance with this invention, the problem of eliminating staples without a sacrifice in the shear strength of the portions of the box secured together has been solved.
The invention and its objects will be clarified by reading of the following description in conjunction with the drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a front perspective view of a box in accor-dance with the invention; and
FIGURE 2 is a vertical section, partially broken away, taken on the plane indicated by the line 2-2 in FIG- URE 1.
Referring first to FIGURE 1, a single sheet fiberboard box 2 in accordance with the invention has a bottom panel 4, a pair of side panels 6 and 8 hingedly connected to the bottom panel and a pair of end panels 10 and 12 hingedly connected to the bottom panel. Flaps 14 and 16 are hingedly connected to end panel 10 and flaps 18 and "ice 20 are hingedly connected to end panel 12. As thus described, the box 2 is entirely conventional.
As seen in FIGURE 2, the box 2 has five planar plies 28 of, for example, kraft. Three plies of the abutting portions of each flap and side panel are perforated with a multiplicity of small, pinpoint perforations to form openings 24 in flaps 14, 16, 18 and 20 and openings 26 in side panels 6 and 8. Each flap is adhered to the abutting portion of the adjacent side panel by an adhesive 30 which penetrates into openings 24 and 26 to anchor the adhesive and provide for a secure interlocking of the four inner plies of each flap and the four outer plies of the adjacent portion of side panel.
It is required that the fiberboard sheets have a minimum of three plies and that at least two plies be perforated in the abutting portions.
It will be evident from an inspection of FIGURE 2 that the construction of the invention will greatly increase the shear strength of the connected portions of the box. Indeed, in practice it has been found that the shear strength of these connections made in accordance with the invention at least equals that achieved when stapling is employed.
It will be understood that the above embodiment is by way of illustration and is not intended to be limited.
What is claimed is:
1. A box of solid fiberboard having a minimum of three plies and having:
a bottom panel,
a pair of side panels hingedly connected to the bottom panel,
a pair of end panels hingedly connected to the bottom anel,
a i iap hingedly secured to each end of each end panel and abutting a portion of the adjacent side panel,
at least two plies of the abutting portions of the flaps and of the side panels being perforated with a multiplicity of small perforations, and
an adhesive between the abutting portions of the flaps and side panels and in the said perforations.
2. The box of claim 1 in which the plies are kraft.
3. The box of claim 1 in which the fiberboard has five plies and the perforations extend through three plies.
4. The box of claim 3 in which the plies are kraft.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots coach Bill Belichick suggested Monday that he remains just as much in the dark about a curious PAT review Sunday as the rest of us.
Officials huddled to seemingly review a PAT that San Diego produced to pull within a touchdown at 28-21 with 5:40 to play in Sunday's game. After a short delay, Nick Novak's boot was upheld.
Most of the stadium seemed confused as to why the play was reviewed and Belichick couldn't shed any light a day later.
"That's not like a [red challenge] flag -- if the opposing team throws a flag, [the officials] come over and say the other team is challenging the runner was down by contact, or the guy scored, or whatever it is. On scoring plays, it's an automatic review... including extra points.
"What they were looking at, they didn't tell us. We just sit there and look dumb like everybody else."
The Patriots responded with a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive to push the lead back to two touchdowns and the PAT ultimately had no effect on the outcome of the game.

Philips goes Gingerbread with the GoGear Connect 3, we go hands-onPocket-lint
The Philips GoGear Connect 3 is more the tiny tablet than an MP3-player. Announced by the Royal Dutch at IFA 2011, it's the next generation in the company's Android-running personal devices and this time it comes with Gingerbread with the thinnest of custom UIs on top.
Much like its predecessor, it's Wi-Fi-enabled, only this time it goes from a resistive touchscreen to a capacitive one. Oddly, though, it felt rather dead to the touch during our quick play. Now it might be that we've been spoiled by the silky smooth AMOLEDs on the high-end HTCs and Samsungs of this world but, on first impression, we thought it was the older technology display.
Nonetheless, the software worked well enough with the browser, Gmail and gallery apps all functioning as one would expect as well as access to the majority of the Android Market. What's strange, however, is that Philips has ditched the on-board camera found in the last iteration. As it goes, it might be a decent trade off for price. We'll have to let you know once we find out what that price is.
While the GoGear Connect 3 is capable of up to 720p playback, that's not what we were looking at on the 3.2-inch display. Resolution specs have not been released but, obviously, just because the device can support the lower level of HD that doesn't mean that it will actually reproduce it in your hand. The pixels just aren't that densely packed.
Sadly, there's no HDMI-out either which makes it look as if the 720p support is really only for the benefit of not having to convert your files before you can make them portable; but the GoGear Connect 3 is DLNA-enabled by the Philips SimplyShare app and that's where the 720p playback comes in. So, you can watch those videos in full definition on a bigger screen via that wireless route. Philips also boasts what it describes as a "wide range of codecs" but we'll have to wait for review to see if there are any glaring omissions.
On the outside, the hardware has had a bit of a makeover too. It's all gone black, and the three hard keys are much more reminiscent of a standard Android device than ever before with the Menu, Home and Back buttons all welcome. Along the side are the only other nobbles. Each is orange - two for the volume and one for the power. They're designed in such a stand-out fashion that it's a bit of a disappointment that they don't do more. We tried twiddling them. Nothing happened.
The last slight irk is that the Songbird app, which takes care of the core audio functions, is not actually that great. It comes across a touch cheap, and that's a pity. The first couple of screens of it look good but the black text on white background song lists are a touch, well, yes, disappointing again.
On the plus side, the Philips GoGear Connect 3 offers both Philips FullSound and Surround Sound to make your audio files and video files sound better. So once you stop fiddling and start listening, the experience is good.
All in all, a bit surprisingly meh. Perhaps that's just because smartphones do it so much better these days. Still, if it comes in at not much over £120, it's decent enough alternative to an iPod touch.

Jennifer Lawrence Goes For The Gold At The Hunger Games Premiere
The word on the street is that the designer worked with Jennifer on customizing a frock that would certainly take home the district title...at least in the style stakes. With sexy cut-outs, a train, and a leg-slit that, thankfully, wasn't subject to the Angelina leg syndrome, the starlet proves why she's fast becoming a fashion icon (sorry, Stacy Keibler, this is how to wear gold). We're beyond thrilled to see someone finally taking red carpet risks again! It's killer, but not, you know, in the killing other tributes sort of way.

A systematic method of design for asynchronous sequential circuits using logic cell arrays such as the XILINX 2000 or 3000 series is presented. In this method each state is represented by a separate flip-flop whose clock signal is generated locally. State machines of considerable size can be accommodated on a single chip and in most applications the outputs are readily available on the chip without the need for external decoding of the states. Problems of races and hazards, commonly associated with asynchronous circuits, are eliminated. The method is applied to the design of a VME bus requester, and the use of CAD packages to simulate such designs is discussed

Arvind Kejriwal: Inked, punched and now slapped in Delhi
Zee Media Bureau/Ajith Vijay Kumar
New Delhi: In yet another shameful incident, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal was slapped by an unidentified man during a road-show by the party in Delhi on Friday.
The AAP`s road-show was passing through Dakshinpuri area of south Delhi when a unidentified man climbed on to the open jeep in which Kejriwal was travelling. He then slapped and punched him repeatedly.
The man, in his early twenties, was cornered by AAP workers and thrashed before the police took him away.
Kejriwal was also shown black flags by a groups of people during the road-show. They claimed to be local residents and said that they were angry with AAP for abandoning Delhi after 49 days in power.
Undeterred, Kejriwal said, "Let them attack us (but) we will not raise our hands. They can take our lives." He also urged supporters to maintain calm.
In an apparent reference to BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Kejriwal said, "Some people will do anything to become the PM."
Today's incident comes days after a man punched Kejriwal and tried to slap him during a similar road-show in Haryana.
The former Delhi chief minister had also faced an ink attack in Varanasi. An egg was also hurled at his car outside the Vishwanath Temple.
The repeated attacks on Kejriwal would be a cause of worry for the Delhi Police, which looks after his security despite he having refused to accept any cover.
Senior party leader Yogendra Yadav also came under a similar attack at Jantar Mantar in the national capital. A man wearing an AAP cap had smeared ink on his face during an event to mark Women`s Day.

The present invention generally relates to apparatus for dispensing liquid and, more specifically, to apparatus for dispensing droplets of liquid onto a substrate.
Electrical components are generally secured to a circuit board or other substrate by means of a soldering operation. Although there are a number of common soldering processes to secure components to the substrate, a conventional soldering process may be comprised of three separate steps. These steps include (1) applying flux to the substrate, (2) preheating the substrate, and (3) soldering various components to the substrate. In some situations, such as reflow and surface mounting processes, preheating is unnecessary. As some examples, the invention pertains to component securement in applications utilizing circuit boards, micropalates, interposer boards, controlled collapse chip collections, VGA and other computer chips.
Soldering flux is a chemical compound which promotes the wetting of a metal surface by molten solder. The flux removes oxides or other surface films from the base metal surface. The flux also protects the surface from reoxidation during soldering and alters the surface tension of the molten solder and the base material. Substrates, such as printed circuit boards, must be cleaned with flux to effectively prepare the board for soldering and to properly wet the electrical components to be secured to the circuit board.
During the soldering operation it may be necessary to dispense minute amounts or droplets of solder flux onto discrete portions of the substrate. Various types of dispensers have been used for this purpose, such as syringe style contact dispensers and valve-operated, noncontact dispensers. In addition to solder flux, other liquids may also be applied to the substrate. These liquids may include adhesives, solder paste, solder mask, grease, oil encapsulants, potting compounds, inks and silicones.
Because of surface tension effects, liquid exiting a valve-operated, noncontact dispenser typically forms a substantially spherically-shaped, airborne droplet before reaching the substrate. The droplet therefore contacts the substrate in a specific, generally circular surface area. Depending upon the viscosity and surface tension characteristics of the droplet material, the droplet may maintain a substantially semi-spherical shape above the surface contact area. For instance, if the droplet material has a high viscosity or high surface tension, the droplet will generally maintain a semi-spherical shape above the surface of the substrate and the surface contact area will be relatively small. For conventional fluxes, the height of the droplet may generally equal the diameter of the droplet. If, however, the droplet material has relatively low viscosity or low surface tension, the spherical shape flattens out onto the surface and the surface contact area is greater. In essence, high viscosity droplets or those with high surface tension do not spread out over the surface like low viscosity droplets or those with low surface tension.
During the manufacture of electronic devices, it is desirable to use the smallest effective amount of flux possible while still covering the greatest amount of surface area with the flux. In many soldering operations, the flux is best applied to a substrate in the form of a series of droplets on discrete areas of the substrate. It is preferable that the single droplet of flux flatten out and form a thin layer over a larger area of the substrate. A relatively thin layer of solder flux has several advantages relative to a thicker layer of flux. For example, a thin layer of solder flux yields more reliable solder connections between the electrical components and, for example, a printed circuit on the substrate, especially where "no clean" fluxes are used. A thin layer formed from a single droplet of flux also uses less flux than several taller droplets of flux used to cover the same area. Also, a single droplet of flux that spreads out to form a thin layer increases manufacturing throughput because applying a single flattened droplet is quicker than covering the same surface area with several taller droplets.
Since solder flux generally has high surface tension, it does not flatten appreciably upon contact with the substrate. Instead, the noncontact dispensing operation leaves a relatively tall droplet with a substantially semi-spherical shape and a small contact area. As a result, it is difficult to produce a thin layer of solder flux using conventional noncontact dispensers and conventional solder flux.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a noncontact droplet dispenser which is able to both dispense a droplet of viscous liquid, such as solder flux, and flatten or spread out the droplet onto a substrate to increase its surface contact area.
Apparatus of the present invention is adapted to dispense droplets of viscous liquid, such as solder flux, onto the surface of a substrate and thereafter flatten or spread out the droplet with at least one burst of pressurized air. The invention is particularly suitable for noncontact dispensers, that is, dispensers having nozzles that do not contact the substrate during the dispensing operation. In one suitable application of this invention, the substrate is a printed circuit board. The burst of pressurized air impinges on a droplet formed by one or more dispensed droplets with sufficient force to momentarily overcome the surface tension of the droplet, allowing the liquid to spread out over the surface of the substrate to form a larger contact area.
To that end, and in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a dispenser for discharging droplets of liquid onto a substrate and impinging the droplets with air has a dispenser body with a liquid supply passageway adapted to connect to a source of liquid, such as solder flux. A nozzle connects to the dispenser body and includes a liquid discharge passageway in fluid communication with the liquid supply passageway. The nozzle also has an air discharge orifice which is adapted to connect to a source of pressurized air for selectively discharging bursts of the pressurized air. The air discharge orifice is configured proximate to the liquid discharge passageway so that a burst of pressurized air impinges upon a droplet of liquid formed by one or more droplets dispensed from the liquid discharge passageway. The air generally flattens the droplet and increases its contact area with the substrate. The liquid discharge passageway and the air discharge orifice are preferably aligned with one another in a co-axial manner. For example, the liquid discharge passageway may be disposed within and, therefore, surrounded by the air discharge orifice.
In the preferred embodiment, the nozzle comprises a liquid dispensing nozzle body and an air discharge body operatively connected to the dispenser body. The liquid dispensing nozzle body has a liquid passageway which is in fluid communication with the liquid supply passageway of the dispenser body. The liquid dispensing nozzle body is externally threaded such that it can be threaded into internal threads in the dispenser body and internal threads of the air discharge body. The liquid dispensing nozzle body preferably includes a valve seat and the dispenser body preferably includes a valve stem. The valve seat is adapted to selectively receive the valve stem such that when the valve stem engages the valve seat, liquid cannot flow to the liquid discharge passageway. However, upon disengaging the valve stem from the valve seat, liquid can flow through the liquid discharge passageway. A control device is operatively connected to the liquid dispenser to selectively engage and disengage the valve stem relative to the valve seat to dispense the droplets from the liquid discharge passageway.
Preferably, the control device is further operatively connected to the supply of pressurized air to selectively generate bursts of pressurized air for discharge by the air discharge orifice. The control device is operatively connected to pneumatically, hydraulically, or electrically actuated solenoid valves associated with the liquid and pressurized air supplies to accurately control the emitted flow of liquid and bursts of pressurized air from the liquid discharge passageway and air discharge orifice, respectively. The air control device preferably operates in a predetermined time relationship relative to the discharge of the one or more dispensed droplets that will be flattened with the air. For example, the predetermined time relationship may be established between the solenoid valve that operates the discharge of pressurized air and the solenoid valve that controls the discharge of liquid material. It will be appreciated that the liquid and air control device and the components used in such a control device may take many different configurations.
The present invention also contemplates a method for increasing the contact area between a droplet of liquid, such as solder flux, and a substrate, such printed circuit board. The method generally involves dispensing at least one droplet of liquid from a nozzle onto a substrate thereby forming a contact area between the droplet of liquid and the substrate. At least one burst of air is then discharged from an air discharge passage of the nozzle. The burst of air impinges upon the droplet of liquid so as to increase the contact area generally in the manner and for reasons as described above.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a dispenser and method for discharging a droplet of liquid onto a substrate and increasing the surface contact area of the droplet with a burst or bursts of pressurized air. As such, the dispenser can effectively deposit thin layers of flux or other viscous liquid onto a printed circuit board. The thin layer of flux provides a more reliable connection for the electric components and reduces the cost of printed circuit board manufacture. Other suitable applications may also benefit from this invention.
Various additional advantages, objects and features of the invention will become more readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the nozzle assembly of FIG. 1 taken along line 2—2 and showing the discharge of a droplet of liquid;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 2 but showing the discharge of air;
FIG. 3A is an enlarged view of encircled portion "3A" in FIG. 3;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control device for use with the liquid dispenser of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the on/off time profiles for a fluid valve and an air valve implemented by the liquid dispenser of FIG. 1.
Referring first to FIG. 1, a dispenser apparatus 10 of the preferred embodiment includes a dispenser body 12, a liquid dispensing nozzle body 14, and an air discharge body 16 constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention. While nozzle body 14 and air discharge body 16 are shown as separate pieces, they may also be integrated into a single-piece nozzle. The dispenser 10 is specifically adapted for dispensing liquids, such as heated thermoplastic liquids, hot melt adhesives or solder flux, but other liquid dispensers can benefit from the invention as well. Furthermore, the dispenser 10 is adapted to dispense liquids in discrete amounts, such as droplets or dots, or in continuous beads. As shown in FIG. 1, the dispenser body 12 used in conjunction with the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 and air discharge body 16 of the present invention is constructed to dispense droplets liquids, such as of solder flux, onto a substrate.
With reference now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the dispenser body 10 has a liquid supply passageway 18 which communicates with a pressurized source 20 of liquid 22. This liquid 22 may, for example, be solder flux or other viscous liquids that will benefit from this invention. As a general guideline for solder flux applications, the pressure of the solder flux 22 within the liquid supply passageway 18 ranges between about 1.5 psi and about 5 psi for lower viscosity fluxes and 10-20 psi for higher viscosity fluxes. The dispenser body 12 also includes a valve stem 24 mounted within the liquid supply passageway 18 that is selectively retractable from engagement with a valve seat 26. The dispenser body 12 may include a conventional spring return mechanism (not shown) operatively connected to the valve stem 24. The spring return mechanism closes the valve stem 24 against the valve seat 26 to stop the flow of liquid through dispenser 10 in a known manner.
Accordingly, dispenser body 12 and its associated valve stem 24 can serve as an on/off fluid or liquid valve by moving the valve stem 24 into and out of engagement with the valve seat 26. One suitable dispenser and valve actuating mechanism is found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,747,102, the disclosure of which is fully incorporated by referenced herein. The valve stem 24 may be, for example, pneumatically or electrically actuated in response to a control device 28 (FIG. 4) to selectively dispense the solder flux 22 from the liquid supply passageway 18 to the attached liquid dispensing nozzle body 14.
For controlling dispensing of liquid material, control device 28 includes a dispenser valve on timing and driver circuit 30 that is operatively connected to valve stem 24 to retract valve stem 24 from valve seat 26 in response to a trigger signal 32 received from a trigger circuit 34. Upon receipt of trigger signal 32, circuit 30 retracts or disengages valve stem 24 from valve seat 26 for a pre-selected amount of time, preferably selectable in a range from 0 msec. to about 100 msec., to permit the flow of liquid 22 from dispenser 10 as described in detail below. When the pre-selected open state of valve stem 24 expires, valve stem 24 is re-engaged with valve seat 26 to stop the flow of liquid 22.
A retainer 36 has internal threads 38 at one of its ends to engage external threads 40 of dispenser body 12. The retainer 36 has an internal shoulder 42 with a throughhole 44 located at the center of the internal shoulder 42. The throughhole 44 is in fluid communication with both the liquid supply passageway 18 and the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. The internal shoulder 42 retains the valve seat 26 and a seal member 46 on an end portion 48 of dispenser body 12 when the retainer 36 is threaded onto the external threads 40 of dispenser body 1 2. As such, the seal member 46, which is preferably constructed of Teflon�, sealingly engages the end portion 48 to prevent the solder flux 22 from leaking past the threads 38, 40. The retainer 36 also has internal threads 50 at its other end. The internal threads 50 are adapted to receive external threads 52 of the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. Upon threading the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 onto the internal threads 50, an end 54 of liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 contacts and sealingly engages the internal shoulder 42 of the retainer 36 to prevent the solder flux 22 from leaking past the threads 50, 52.
The liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 has an internal liquid passageway 56 which is in fluid communication with the liquid supply passageway 18 and a liquid discharge passageway 58 a of a nozzle tip 58 extending from end portion 60 of the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. The end portion 60 has external threads 62 for engaging internal threads 64 of the air discharge body 16, and more specifically, a plate 66. The plate 66 is press fit into a recess 68 of the air discharge body 16.
The air discharge body 16 has an air chamber 70 and an air discharge orifice 72 which are in fluid communication with an air inlet passageway 74. The air inlet passageway 74 is operatively connected to an air control valve 76 (FIGS. 3 and 4), which may be a solenoid valve operatively connected to a supply of pressurized air 78. For controlling emitted bursts of pressurized air from air discharge orifice 72, control device 28 includes an air delay timing circuit 80 coupled to an air valve on timing and driver circuit 82 that are operatively connected to the air control valve 76. As described in greater detail below, control device 28 and air control valve 76 synchronize the discharge bursts of air from air discharge orifice 72 with the discharge of liquid from liquid discharge passageway 58 a.
Preferably, air control valve 76 selectively delivers controlled bursts of pressurized air to the air chamber 70 that subsequently exit through air discharge orifice 72. Preferably, air pressure of air supply 78 ranges between about 10 psi and about 30 psi. Higher viscosity materials will generally need higher pressure air. In certain applications, it may be advantageous to impinge a droplet or droplets of liquid with multiple bursts of pressurized air. Also, the pressurized air bursts may be discharged at different pressures to achieve a desired flattening of the liquid droplet. There may also be various applications in which it would be desirable to flatten or spread out certain liquid droplets, but leave other droplets in their typical dispensed condition.
Advantageously, the air chamber 70 and the air discharge orifice 72 are co-axially aligned with the liquid discharge passageway 58 a extending from end portion 60 of liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. Preferably, the liquid discharge passageway 58 a is disposed within and surrounded by the air chamber 70 and the air discharge orifice 72.
In operation, the dispenser 10 is adapted to dispense a droplet 84 of flux 22 onto a substrate 86, such as a printed circuit board. Generally, printed circuit board 86 will require several droplets 84 of flux 22 dispensed over specific, discrete areas thereof. During the dispensing operation, the circuit board 86 is held in place and the dispenser 10 is moved relative to the circuit board 86 to each of the desired dispensing locations.
The dispensing method or process contemplated by the present invention begins by positioning the dispenser 10 above a desired dispensing location above the substrate 86. The distance between an end 88 of the liquid discharge passageway 58a and the circuit board 86 can range from about 0.02 inches to about 0.75 inches depending on the application conditions. Next, the valve stem 24 is selectively disengaged from the valve seat 26 in response to receipt of trigger signal 32 by circuit 30 so that the pressurized solder flux 22 can flow through the liquid passageway 56 of liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 for a pre-selected amount of time, as determined by circuit 30. After the pre-selected amount of time of fluid flow has expired, the valve stem 24 re-engages the valve seat 26 to stop further flow of the solder flux 22 into liquid passageway 56. Therefore, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a droplet 84 of solder flux 22 is formed and then dispensed from the liquid discharge passageway 58 a of the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the droplet 84 thereafter falls from the liquid discharge passageway 58 a to rest upon the substrate 86 as a slightly flattened droplet 84 a (FIG. 3). The droplet 84 a forms a contact area 92 a with the substrate 86.
In response to the trigger signal 32 that initiates dispensing of the droplet 84 a, air delay timing circuit 80 initiates a pre-selected timing cycle to delay the generation and emission of a burst of pressurized air from air discharge orifice 72 until the pre-selected timing cycle expires. Upon expiration of the timing cycle, air control valve 76 opens for a pre-selected amount of time in response to air valve on timing and driving circuit 82. Preferably, the open state of air control valve 76 is selectable in a range from 0 msec. to about 100 msec.
The burst of pressurized air enters air chamber 70 and subsequently discharges through air discharge orifice 72. The pressurized air, as indicated by the vertical arrows in FIG. 3, thereby impinges upon the droplet 84 a such that the droplet 84 a is sufficiently flattened to form flattened droplet 84 b, and the contact area 92 a is increased to a contact area 92 b underneath droplet 84 b, as best shown in FIG. 3A. As such, the height of the flattened droplet 84 b is greatly reduced from that of droplet 84 a and the contact area 92 b is notably greater than contact area 92 a. That is, the solder flux 22 of droplet 84 b, once impinged by the burst of pressurized air, spreads out and covers more of the substrate 86 as compared to the initial droplet 84 a.
After the burst of air impinges upon droplet 84 a, the dispensing operation for one droplet is complete and the dispenser is repositioned over the next desired dispensing location. This dispensing process continues repeatedly over the printed circuit board until all the desired dispensing locations are covered with flattened droplets of solder flux 22. It should be noted that droplet 84 a may be comprised of more than one droplet dispensed at the same, or approximately the same, location. In other words, the use of the singular term "droplet" should not be interpreted in a limiting manner in this regard.
As shown schematically in FIG. 5, the valve stem 24, acting as a fluid valve, and the air control valve 76, acting as an air valve, cyclically open and close to respectively dispense discrete amounts of solder flux 22 and bursts of pressurized air. For solder flux dispense applications, the fluid valve 24 preferably remains open a time "t1," ranging between about 2 msec. and about 4 msec. Similarly, the air control valve 76 preferably remains open a time "t2" ranging between about 3 msec. and about 6 msec. for solder flux dispense applications. The air control valve 76 is operable to open a pre-selected duration of time after the fluid valve 24 is opened, as represented by delay time "td". Therefore, the air control valve 76 can open up prior to the valve stem 24 closing down. If the delay time "td" is zero, then the air control valve 76 opens at the time the liquid valve 24 opens. In contrast, if the delay time "td" is equivalent to the time "t1", then the fluid valve 24 closes at the same time that the air control valve 76 opens. Preferably, for solder flux dispense applications, the delay time "td" ranges between about 2 msec. and about 4 msec. Of course, those of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that the dispense times for liquid material and pressurized air, as well as the pre-selected delay between the respective liquid air dispense cycles, will vary for a particular dispensing application.
As can be appreciated, the amount of solder flux 22 dispensed by the dispenser 10 is dependent on factors such as the pressure of the source 20, the length of time "t1" that the fluid valve 24 remains open, and the physical dimensions of the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14. For instance, increasing the internal diameter of the liquid passageway 56 and the liquid discharge passageway 58 a at nozzle tip 58 will allow more flux 22 to discharge for a given amount of time "t1". As such, different nozzle adapters 14 with differently sized liquid passageways 56 and liquid discharge passageways 58 a can be readily threaded into the nozzle adapter retainer 36 to from different sized droplets. As can be further appreciated, the liquid dispensing nozzle body 14 and the air discharge body 16 could be formed as an integral unit.
While the present invention has been illustrated by a description of various preferred embodiments and while these embodiments have been described in considerable detail in order to describe the best mode of practicing the invention, it is not the intention of applicant to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will readily appear to those skilled in the art.
