  • Patent number: 4301524
    Abstract: A programmable microcomputer controlled alarm clock has a multi-key input keyboard for setting the time of day, the month and date, and the alarm times of two or more independent alarms. Each alarm may be set to generate an alarm signal at a selected time on each day of two to six consecutive days of a seven-day period, the alarm sequence being automatically repeated each following seven-day period. In the normal operational mode, time of day is displayed until a month-and-date switch, an alarm-period or doze switch, or an alarm-enabling switch is actuated to display the respective date and alarm time. After the particular switch is actuated and the appropriate time information displayed, the clock returns to display time of day within several seconds.

  • Patent number: 3947867
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices containing integrated circuits are attached directly to external package leads by pressing simultaneously a plurality of groups of leads against bonding pads on a plurality of face-up semiconductor dice and heating the composite structures. Solder bumps on the bonding pads contain hard pedestals which prevent the overlying leads from being pushed into the faces of the semiconductor devices while the solder on the solder bumps melts to form the bonds between the leads and the underlying semiconductor dice. The process for carrying out this operation lowers significantly the cost of each packaged semiconductor device and the resulting structure is more reliable than structures of the prior art.
