Using Rheology Measurement As a Potentially Predictive Tool for Solder Paste Transfer Efficiency and Print Volume Consistency
USING RHEOLOGY MEASUREMENT AS A POTENTIALLY PREDICTIVE TOOL FOR SOLDER PASTE TRANSFER EFFICIENCY AND PRINT VOLUME CONSISTENCY Mitch Holtzer, Karen Tellefsen and Westin Bent Alpha Assembly Solutions South Plainfield, NJ, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT Commercially available solder pastes use an upper and Industry standards such as J-STD-005 and JIS Z 3284-1994 lower limit for viscosity. Generally, this viscosity is call for the use of viscosity measurement(s) as a quality measured at one shear rate, typically the shear associated assurance test method for solder paste. Almost all solder with a spiral viscometer rotating at 10 revolutions per paste produced and sold use a viscosity range at a single minute (RPM). If the powder contained in solder paste is shear rate as part of the pass fail criteria for shipment and dissolved by the acid activator in the solder paste flux, the customer acceptance respectively. viscosity of the solder paste will quickly increase. If the viscosity increases more than 20 to 30% above the upper As had been reported many times, an estimated 80% of the limit of the specification, poor printing results will be highly defects associated with the surface mount technology likely. The solder paste will not roll evenly over the stencil process involve defects created during the printing process. and apertures in the stencil will remain unfilled, causing Viscosity at a single shear rate could predict a fatal flaw in skips in the paste printing pattern. the printability of a solder paste sample. However, false positive single shear rate viscosity readings are not The purpose of the study was to determine if there is a unknown. -

Stomachache Relief
Stomachache Relief Abdominal pain has many causes. Only rarely is the cause serious. The general information section of Pediatric Planet has more information about when to be concerned. If your child’s physician has determined that there is not a serious cause of the abdominal pain there are a number of over-the-counter medications that may be helpful. The key to getting benefit is choosing the right medication for the job. Having some opinion from your child’s doctor regarding the probable cause of the discomfort is a good start. Constipation may cause abdominal pain when gas is trapped behind blockages of hard stool. In this case see the constipation relief section of the medicine cabinet for more information. Abdominal pain may also accompany lactose intolerance. If your child is lactose intolerant avoidance of milk products and use of supplemental lactase (Dairy-ease, Lactaid), when necessary, will be helpful. Active ingredients: Aluminum Hydroxide (solitary active ingredient in some Amphojel, one of several active ingredients in some Gaviscon, Maalox, and Mylanta products). Aluminum hydroxide is an effective neutralizer of stomach acid although it does not work as quickly as calcium carbonate. It has a more prolonged effect, however, and does not cause bloating. Only small amounts of aluminum are absorbed into the blood stream, those with normal kidneys will excrete the aluminum in the urine. Unlike calcium, however, aluminum has no useful purpose to the body. In those with kidney problems aluminum may build up in the body causing osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and brain injury. There is some evidence linking aluminum to Alzheimer’s. -

Drug Information Center Highlights of FDA Activities
Drug Information Center Highlights of FDA Activities – 9/1/20 – 9/30/20 FDA Drug Safety Communications & Drug Information Updates: Efficacy & Safety Concerns for Atezolizumab in Combination with Paclitaxel 9/8/20 The FDA alerted health care professionals and patients that a clinical trial evaluating atezolizumab plus paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated inoperable locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer that the drug combination was not effective. The combination of atezolizumab with another paclitaxel formulation, paclitaxel protein‐bound, is currently approved for use in adult patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, but this continued approval may be contingent on the results of additional studies. Paclitaxel should NOT be used as a replacement for paclitaxel protein bound in clinical practice. Electronic Expanded Access Requests 9/23/20 The FDA announced that the Reagan‐Udall Foundation has launched Expanded Access eRequest, a tool to submit expanded access requests for individual patient expanded access for drugs and biologics in non‐emergency settings. The tool allows auto population of forms, uploading of relevant documents, links to resources for physicians, patients, and caregivers, and secure application submission to the FDA. Benzodiazepine Drug Class: Drug Safety Communication ‐ Boxed Warning Update 9/23/20 The FDA is requiring the Boxed Warning be updated for all benzodiazepines to address serious risks of abuse, addiction, physical dependence, and withdrawal across the medication class. Changes are also being incorporated in the Medication Guides, and other sections of the prescribing information including the Warnings and Precautions, Drug Abuse and Dependence, and Patient Counseling Information sections. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl): Serious Problems with High Doses 9/24/20 The FDA issued a warning that taking higher than recommended doses of the common OTC allergy medication diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can lead to serious heart problems, seizures, coma, or even death. -
