Patents by Inventor Bradley Hansen

Bradley Hansen 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: 9969225
    Abstract: A system for changing pressure in one or more tires of a self-propelled agricultural machine according to a load differential determined using load sensors on opposing locations of the machine. A load differential may be caused by a disproportionate distribution of forces and/or weight on the machine. Load sensors proximal to the tires may allow determining corresponding loads on the tires and, in turn, the load differential. As a result, tires experiencing greater loads may be inflated, whereas tires experiencing lesser loads may be deflated. In addition, a Human Machine Interface (HMI) may be provided in the operator cab to allow an operator to have further control over tire inflation on the fly while operating the machine.

  • Publication number: 20070111519
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods for depositing a material onto a surface of a substrate by using one or more electroless, electrochemical plating, CVD and/or ALD processes. Embodiments of the invention provide a method for depositing a seed layer on a substrate with an electroless process and to subsequently fill interconnect features on the substrate with an ECP process on a single substrate processing platform. Other aspects provide a method for depositing a seed layer on a substrate, fill interconnect features on a substrate, or sequentially deposit both a seed layer and fill interconnect features on the substrate. One embodiment provides a method for forming a capping layer over substrate interconnects. Methods include the use of a vapor dryer for pre- and post-deposition cleaning of substrates as well as a brush box chamber for post-deposition cleaning.

  • Publication number: 20060033678
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a cluster tool configured to deposit a material onto a substrate surface by using one or more electroless, electrochemical plating, CVD and/or ALD processing chambers. In one aspect, a ruthenium-containing catalytic layer is formed. Embodiments of the invention provide a hybrid deposition system configured to deposit a seed layer on a substrate with an electroless process and to subsequently fill interconnect features on the substrate with an ECP cell. Other aspects provide an electroless deposition system configured to deposit a seed layer on a substrate, fill interconnect features on a substrate, or sequentially deposit both a seed layer and fill interconnect features on the substrate. One embodiment provides an electroless deposition system configured to form a capping layer over substrate interconnects. The system includes a vapor dryer for pre- and post-deposition cleaning of substrates as well as a brush box chamber for post-deposition cleaning.
