Patents by Inventor Daria Puccia

Daria Puccia has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Rolling means of a moving device and related moving device
    Patent number: 8991527
    Abstract: A moving device to move across a surface including a motor rolling motion apparatus is disclosed. The moving device is coupled to the motor and has a body with an outer surface. A dense population of fibrils protrudes from the outer surface, with each fibril having a free-end termination configured to establish adhesion to the surface by inter-molecular Van der Waals forces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2015
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics S.R.L.
    Inventors: Davide Giuseppe Patti, Daria Puccia
  • High-resolution photolithographic method for forming nanostructures, in particular in the manufacture of integrated electronic devices
    Patent number: 8715915
    Abstract: A photolithographic process, wherein a photosensitive layer is formed on a surface of a body to be defined; the photosensitive layer is exposed through a photolithographic mask having zones with lower transparency and zones with higher transparency so as to obtain exposed portions and shielded portions of the photosensitive layer; selective portions of the photosensitive layer chosen between the exposed portions and the shielded portions of the photosensitive layer are removed; and portions of the body under the selective portions of the photosensitive layer are selectively removed. The composite layer includes photoresist and carbon nanotubes, which are embedded in the photoresist and extend in a direction generally transverse to, and in electrical contact with, the body.
