UNDER BOAT SUPPORT WITH ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18162538 titled 'UNDER BOAT SUPPORT WITH ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an under boat support (UBS) that is designed to be electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe. It consists of a ceramic body and a conductive body, which are connected by an adhesive.

  • The UBS is made of an ESD safe ceramic body and a conductive body.
  • The ceramic body and conductive body are joined together using a high-temperature resistant adhesive.
  • The UBS includes a plurality of springs that are embedded within the adhesive.
  • The springs extend from the conductive body to the ceramic body, forming electrical pathways.
  • The springs ensure that the ceramic body is electrically coupled to the conductive body, providing ESD protection.


Original Abstract Submitted

An under boat support (UBS) includes an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe ceramic body and a conductive body. The ESD safe ceramic body is coupled to a surface of the conductive body by an adhesive, which may be resistant to high temperatures. A plurality of springs are present within the adhesive and extend from the surface of the conductive body to a surface of the ESD safe ceramic body. For example, first ends of the plurality of springs are electrically coupled to the surface of the conductive body, and second ends of the plurality of springs, which are opposite to corresponding ones of the first ends of the plurality of springs, are electrically coupled to the surface of the ESD safe ceramic body. The plurality of springs form electrical pathways such that the ESD safe ceramic body is electrically coupled to the conductive body.
