Patents by Inventor David J. Strobel

David J. Strobel 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: 7718984
    Abstract: A composition for radiation shielding or range of compositions which compositions may be used for a variety of radiation shielding applications. With proper adhesive selection and processing, the construction forms an integral bond with the craft as compatible adhesives form strong bonds. This eliminates the potential for delaminating associated with the use of metallic layered shielding. While prior art protects electronics with a direct coating to electronic packages, this approach allows larger equipment systems, such as optics, or spectrometers, to be shielded.

  • Patent number: 7148084
    Abstract: A radiation shielded and packaged integrated circuit semiconductor device includes a lid secured to a base to enclose an integrated circuit die within, wherein the lid and the base are each constructed from a high Z material to prevent radiation from penetrating therethrough. Another embodiment includes a die attach slug constructed from a high Z material disposed between the integrated circuit die and the base, in combination with a high Z material lid to substantially block incident radiation.

  • Patent number: 6583432
    Abstract: The radiation shielding composition and method of the present invention relate to a conformal coating material composed of a matrix of densely packed radiation shielding particles, which are disbursed within a binder. The shielding composition is applied to objects to be protected such as integrated circuits, or to packages therefor, as well as for protecting animals including humans from unwanted exposure to radiation in outer space or other environments.
