layer electrodeposited coating com- prising electrocoating an aqueous paint composition comprising at least two sorts of resins, which are insoluble with each other, a curing agent, and a pigment, on an elec- trically conductive substrate; heat- ing it to form a layer separation; and then curing to form a plural- layer cured coating having at least two layers, wherein a concentra- tion of the pigment is distributed such that a pigment concentration in the resin layer directly contact- ing air is relatively higher than a pigment concentration in the resin layer directly contacting the elec- trically conductive substrate.

SELECTIVE PLATING PROCESS US. Patent 6,334,942. Jan. I,2002 B. Haba et al., assignors to Tessera Inc., San Jose, Calif: A method of making metallic

features on a support comprising providing a resist on the support so as leave openings at locations where metallic features are to be formed; depositing a principal metal to form a deposit with a top surface remote from the sup- port and edge surfaces extend- ing downwardly from the top surface toward the support; treating so as to remove resist immediately adjacent the princi- pal metal and form gaps between the edge surfaces; depositing a cover metal onto the exposed edge surfaces of the principal metal and form gaps between the edge surfaces; and depositing a cover metal onto the exposed edge surfaces of the principal metal deposit while the resist remains on the regions of the support remote from the principal metal deposit.

El.ECVGOPlAllNG SUPPGRT DMCE US. Patent 6,334,943. Jan. 1,2002 I? Gheeraert et al., assignors to Sollac, Puteaux, France A method for supporting an elec- troplating electrode comprising providing an electrical contact surface on which a soluble anode electrode may slide and rest hav- ing a plurality of grooves; and supporting the soluble anode electrode with the contact sur- face when the contact surface is submerged in an electroplating bath during electroplating.
