Patents by Inventor Bob Elliot

Bob Elliot 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).

  • Process of improved grayscale lithography
    Publication number: 20060110683
    Abstract: Methods for minimizing the errors associated with substrate etching are presented. The methods use intentional defocusing of the pattern image on the photoresist to minimize errors in the etching process particularly grayscale etching and/or multiple exposure contributions from neighboring patterns.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 8, 2005
    Publication date: May 25, 2006
    Inventors: David Brown, Peter Erbach, Bob Elliot
  • Low visual impact monopole tower for wireless communications
    Patent number: 6999042
    Abstract: An antenna system incorporating at least two antennas circumferentially arranged with a side-by-side relationship about a monopole tower. The main beam direction of the radiation pattern emanating from each antenna may be remotely adjusted in elevation and/or azimuth. The main beam direction of the radiation pattern emanating from adjacent antennas may be varied independently. The antennas may be partitioned in one or more vertically-spaced groups each of which is arranged about a circumference of the monopole tower.
    Type: Grant
