Publication number: 20200263354Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2020Publication date: August 20, 2020Inventors: Sachith Devendra Samarasinghe, James Barton Sights, David Love, Liz O'Neill, Jeff Zens, Benjamin Bell, Jennifer Schultz, Christopher Schultz, Debdulal Mahanty

Patent number: 7848713Abstract: Techniques for attenuating undesired signal components from a differential duplexer are described. The duplexer provides a differential received signal at RX+ and RX? ports. This differential received signal includes an undesired common mode signal, which may come from a transmit signal. The common mode signal is attenuated with a common mode trap in an impedance matching network coupled to the RX+ and RX? ports. The matching network includes a first passive circuit coupled between the RX+ port and a first node, a second passive circuit coupled between the RX? port and a second node, and the common mode trap coupled between the first and second nodes. In one design, the common mode trap includes a first inductor coupled between the first node and a common node, a second inductor coupled between the second node and the common node, and a capacitor coupled between the common node and circuit ground.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jose Cabanillas, Prasad S.

Patent number: 7754343Abstract: Techniques and structures have been developed for providing lead-free column grid array interconnect structures. An exemplary interconnect has a body, a first joint, and a second joint, all having compositions off the eutectic composition in a ternary alloy system, the first joint having a ternary composition distinct from the body composition, and the second joint having a ternary composition distinct from the body composition and the first joint composition. The interconnect may be formed by solidifying a solder, having a Sn-poor ternary composition in the Sn—Ag—Cu alloy system, in contact with a column, having a Ag-rich Cu-deficient composition in the same system, and a bonding pad or bare substrate. A second solder, having a Sn-rich ternary composition, may be solidified in contact with the column and a second bonding pad or bare substrate. In some embodiments joints may be severed and reformed by remelting and resolidifying the lower-liquidus solder.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2005Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Oracle America, Inc.Inventors: David Love, Bidyut Sen
