Patent number: 11988708Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit devices with wear out monitoring capability. An integrated circuit device includes a wear-out monitor device configured to record an indication of wear-out of a core circuit separated from the wear-out monitor device, wherein the indication is associated with localized diffusion of a diffusant within the wear-out monitor device in response to a wear-out stress that causes the wear-out of the core circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Edward John Coyne, Alan J. O'Donnell, Shaun Bradley, David Aherne, David Boland, Thomas G. O'Dwyer, Colm Patrick Heffernan, Kevin B. Manning, Mark Forde, David J. Clarke, Michael A. Looby

Patent number: 8119031Abstract: Preservative composition for lignocellulosic-based composites providing rapid and long-lasting protection against insect and fungal attack, in both low and high moisture environments, through the use of a combination of higher solubility and lower solubility borates. Pesticidal amounts of a lower solubility borate and a higher solubility borate are combined before or during their incorporation into a lignocellulosic-based composite. Useful low solubility borates include copper borate, zinc borate and barium metaborate. Useful high solubility borates include boric acid, boric oxide, ammonium borate and alkali metal borates such as sodium borate. Some alkaline earth metal borates, including calcium borates, calcium magnesium borates, magnesium borates and calcium sodium borates, are of intermediate solubility and may be used effectively as either a low soluble or high soluble borate depending on the combination used.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2008Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: U.S. Borax Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey D. Lloyd, Mark J. Manning, Frederick M. Ascherl

Patent number: 7691922Abstract: The addition of zinc borate alone or together with a hindered amine light stabilizer and ultra-violet light absorber to organic materials such as thermoplastic polyolefin resin, as is common in wood-plastic composites, provides a substantial reduction in the ultra-violet light degradation of the resin in comparison with similar materials made without zinc borate. This could provide substantial improvements in the long term durability of wood-plastic composites and other organic materials which are used in exterior environments and subject to ultra-violet exposure from the sun.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: U.S. Borax Inc.Inventors: Mark J. Manning, Marek J. Gnatowski, Christine Mah, Cecilia L. Stevens

Patent number: 7163974Abstract: Lignocellulosic-based woodfiber-plastic composite products containing a pesticidal amount of calcium borate is resistant to attack by wood destroying fungi and insects. The preferred calcium borates are the calcium polytriborates having a CaO:B2O3 molar ratio of about 2:3 and calcium hexaborates, having a CaO:B2O3 ratio of 1:3. Composites can be produced by combining the calcium borate with particles of the lignocellulosic material and the thermoplastic resin binder, and heating and extruding the resultant mixture through a die to form the composite product.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: U.S. Borax Inc.Inventors: Mark J.
