Patents by Inventor Brad Jacobs

Brad Jacobs 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: 10758214
    Abstract: Various biopsy devices configured to biopsy tissue from a body cavity and methods of use are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a biopsy sleeve is provided with an elongate shaft having distal and proximal ends. The elongate shaft is configured to receive at least a portion of an imaging device therein, and an engagement member is disposed on the proximal end and configured to engage with the imaging device. A biopsy collector is engageable with the elongate shaft and is configured to collect tissue for a biopsy sample. At least part of the distal end of the elongate shaft is configured to allow visualization therethrough using the imaging device such that a user can visualize the tissue being collected.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9837286
    Abstract: A method for selectively etching a tungsten layer on a substrate includes arranging a substrate including a tungsten layer on a substrate support. The substrate processing chamber includes an upper chamber region, an inductive coil arranged outside of the upper chamber region, a lower chamber region including the substrate support and a gas dispersion device arranged between the upper and lower chamber regions. The gas dispersion device includes a plurality of holes in fluid communication with the upper and lower chamber regions. The method further includes controlling pressure in the substrate processing chamber in a range from 0.4 Torr to 10 Torr; supplying an etch gas mixture including fluorine-based gas to the upper chamber region; striking inductively coupled plasma in the upper chamber region by supplying power to the inductive coil; and selectively etching the tungsten layer relative to at least one other film material of the substrate.
