Automated Optical Shaping (AOS) is a laser-based tool for selectively completing missing gold or copper patterns on panels. Laser removes gold and copper selectively; reconstructs pattern shape; fills opens with copper. Accompanying software shows 3D images in color at all angles. Complements Closed Loop Shaping, which removes excess copper without damaging the laminate.

Indium10.8HF halogen-free, no-clean solder paste provides non-wet open performance on large, high I/O electronic packages such as microprocessors.
N1092A, N1092B and N1092D DCA-M sampling oscilloscopes for 25/100/400Gb/s optical test feature new low-noise, low-jitter technology for measuring low-power, high data rate NRZ and PAM-4 devices. FlexDCA user interface is identical to that used in 86100D DCA-X sampling oscilloscope, for drop-in replacement to existing test systems. N1092A has one optical channel; N1092B has two optical channels, and N1092D has four optical channels. Channels have calibrated reference receivers for compliance test from 20 to 28Gb/s rates and are compatible with single-mode and multimode fibers and wavelengths.

Technomelt AS 8998 is designed to provide fast dispensability to mask keep-out zones for printed circuit board assemblies that will undergo coating or chemical deposition processes. Is slump-resistant and compatible with common automated dispensing systems. Is a silicone-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant material that reportedly has excellent green strength after dispensing and solidifies upon cooling with no thermal or UV curing required. Compatible with numerous substrate surfaces, the hot melt material provides good adhesion during various coating processes; reportedly peels quickly, leaving defined edges and zero residue. Is compatible with thermal processes up to 100°C.
