Patent number: 11387202Abstract: A nanowire bonding interconnect for fine-pitch microelectronics is provided. Vertical nanowires created on conductive pads provide a debris-tolerant bonding layer for making direct metal bonds between opposing pads or vias. Nanowires may be grown from a nanoporous medium with a height between 200-1000 nanometers and a height-to-diameter aspect ratio that enables the nanowires to partially collapse against the opposing conductive pads, creating contact pressure for nanowires to direct-bond to opposing pads. Nanowires may have diameters less than 200 nanometers and spacing less than 1 ?m from each other to enable contact or direct-bonding between pads and vias with diameters under 5 ?m at very fine pitch. The nanowire bonding interconnects may be used with or without tinning, solders, or adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Invensas LLCInventors: Belgacem Haba, Ilyas Mohammed

Patent number: 11382793Abstract: An RF (radio frequency) positioning system and related method for automated or assisted eye-docking in ophthalmic surgery. The system includes an RF detector system on a laser head and an RFID tag on a patient interface to be mounted on the patient's eye. The detector system includes four RF antennas located on a horizontal plane for detecting RF signals from the RFID tag, where one pair of antennas are located along the X direction at equal distances from the optical axis of the laser head and another pair are located along the Y direction at equal distances from the optical axis. Based on relative strengths and phase difference of the RF signals detected by each pair of antennas, the RF detector system determines whether the patient interface is centered on the optical axis. The RF detector system controls the laser head to move toward the patient interface until the latter is centered on the optical axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: AMO Development, LLCInventors: Harvey I.

Patent number: 11385138Abstract: The claimed method and system develops a useful lifetime profile for a component of a process control device, such as a valve, and uses that lifetime profile to determine a projected remaining lifetime for the device component in operation. The lifetime profile is developed from using real world operational data of similar process control devices, used under substantially the same operating conditions as to be experienced during operation. Profiles may be developed for numerous device components, from which a projected lifetime profile for the entire process control device is developed. Based on the projected remaining lifetime, notification warnings may be sent to remote computers and maintenance scheduling may be automatically achieved.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: FISHER CONTROLS INTERNATIONAL LLCInventors: Ted Dennis Grabau, Shawn W.
