Patents by Inventor Richard B. Hammer

Richard B. Hammer 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).

  • Patent number: 5633533
    Abstract: An electronic package which includes a rigid support member, e.g., copper sheet, to which is bonded both the package's semiconductor chip and circuitized substrate members. The chip is bonded using a thermally conductive adhesive while the circuitized substrate, preferably a flexible circuit, is bonded using an electrically insulative adhesive. The chip is electrically coupled to designated parts of the circuitry of the substrate, preferably by wire, thermocompression or thermosonic bonding. An encapsulant may be used to cover and protect the connections between the chip and substrate. This package may in turn be electrically coupled to a separate, second substrate such as a PCB.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 1996
    Date of Patent: May 27, 1997
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 4690833
    Abstract: A process for providing circuit lines on a substrate having a non-planar surface is provided. The process includes applying a layer of photoresist material to the substrate, selectively screen printing on non-planar areas of the substrate a screen-printable coating, photoprocessing the layer of photoresist material, and providing electrical conductive pattern on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 4022631
    Abstract: Cellulosic articles are regenerated from a cellulosic solution formed by the addition of cellulosic material to dimethyl sulfoxide and formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde by contacting the cellulosic solution with an aqueous solution having a pH greater than seven of a water soluble nucleophilic compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia, ammonium salts, saturated amines and salts of sulfur compounds in which the sulfur has a valence of less than six.
