  • Method and apparatus for dissipating heat from an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 7521791
    Abstract: An apparatus (100) is provided for dispersing heat from an integrated circuit (202) to a heat sink (404). The apparatus (100) is formed on a nonconductive body (102) having at least two conductive surfaces (110, 112) disposed thereon. One of the conductive surfaces (110) is reflowed to a heat generating lead of the integrated circuit (202), and the other conductive surface (112) provides a surface for contacting a heat sink (404). The apparatus (100) and integrated circuit provide a package (200) which can be tape and reeled (300) for easy mounting to a printed circuit board (402) of a communication device (400).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2009
    Assignee: Motorola, Inc.

  • TRANSPARENT CERAMIC COMPOSITE
    Publication number: 20070068376
    Abstract: A ceramic composite and method of making are provided. The ceramic composite may be transparent and may serve as transparent armor. The ceramic portion of the composite may be single crystal sapphire. The composite may provide adequate protection from projectiles while exhibiting large surface areas and relatively low areal densities.
