Patent number: 11990343Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrode structure for a device, such as a GaN or AlGaN device is described. In one example, the method includes providing a substrate (212) of GaN or AlGaN with a surface region of the GaN or AlGaN exposed through an opening (216) in a layer of silicon nitride (214) formed on the substrate. The method further includes depositing layers of W (222), in one example, or Ni (220) and W (222), in another example, on the substrate and the layer of silicon nitride using reactive evaporation and photoresist layers (230) having an undercut profile for liftoff. The method further includes removing the photoresist layers having the undercut profile, and depositing layers of WN (224) and Al over the underlying layers of W or Ni and W by sputtering.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: MACOM TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Wayne Mack Struble, Timothy Edward Boles, Jason Matthew Barrett, John Stephen Atherton

Publication number: 20220274812Abstract: A pulley is disclosed, that comprises: a block formed from first and second spaced-apart plates; a sheave axle that interconnects and is secured to the plates; a sheave carried for rotation on the sheave axle between the plates; and a becket assembly comprising a becket axle that interconnects and is removably secured to the plates and a blocking component carried on the becket axle. The becket axle can be removed from the pulley to enable removal of the blocking component from the pulley. This allows a rope or similar element to be introduced between or removed from between the plates.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Christopher Sidney COWELL, Darren Wayne Matthew McMASTER

Publication number: 20190300970Abstract: Methods and compositions to genotype microspores and/or pollen grains are provided. Methods provided include using meiotically-related products to non-destructively determine the genotype of one of the meiotically-related products such that it can be further used. For example, methods to obtain a genotype of a microspore are provided. The methods include: isolating tetrads, separating the tetrads to obtain four tetrad microspores; genotyping three of the four tetrad microspores, and inferring the genotype of the fourth tetrad microspore. Methods are also provided for generating doubled haploid plants from the microspores that are selected for further analysis based on inferred genotypes. Viable genotyped pollen produced by these methods, as well as seed, cells, plants, germplasm, progeny, and plant parts derived therefrom are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: WAYNE MATTHEW CRISMANI, KEVIN DAY, GREGORY D MAY, JUSTIN ANDREW SCHARES, YUE YUN

Patent number: 9938129Abstract: A plastic keg includes a liner including a neck portion and a body portion. A lid having an opening is disposed at least partially over the liner. A retainer is secured to the neck portion of the liner and aligned with the opening in the lid, the retainer including external threads. A locking ring having internal threads is secured to the external threads of the retainer. The internal threads of the locking ring and the external threads of the retainer include a ratcheting mechanism permitting attachment of the locking ring to the retainer and inhibiting removal of the locking ring from the retainer, the locking ring contacting the lid. A beer keg valve assembly includes a port having a head portion having a convex upper surface and at least one leg extending downwardly from a lower surface. The leg includes a stop surface projecting radially outward further than the head portion. A piston defines an opening.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Rehrig Pacific CompanyInventors: William P. Apps, Wayne Matthew Hansen
