 Generally, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) have been fixed on a carrier plate (jig) using single–sided polyimide film tape, film–based double–sided tape or resin–coated carrier plate, but these types of holding methods produce inconvenience and problems.
Tacsil®, a reusable FPCB carrier tape, has longer service life (repeating use cycle > 500 times at normal SMT solder reflow process), fewer open and short problems, less amount of solder non–wetting, easy cleaning, easy fixing and easy removal. It offers more flexibility the design of the carriers, because it can be cut or die–cut according to your carrier board designs. Also, the adhesion level of surface can be controlled for customer's requirement. Tacsil® increases productivity, saves costs and increases yield. Technical information and guidelines will be described in detail in this paper. Read the full article (PDF)...

The term/concept of synergy seems very apt when applied to the
interaction of the Occam process solderless assembly concept in
combination with a unique PCB interconnection technology called twisted
wire interconnect or TWI. 
Fortunately even the most conservative most prognosticators now see at least a subdued "recovery" in 2010.
