Patent number: 7393790Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing carrier wafers for semiconductor device manufacture. The method includes the steps of sorting a plurality of standard carrier wafer blanks into batches by thickness to define a batch of starting carrier wafers that are within a predetermined tolerance of one another, reducing the thickness of the sorted carrier wafers to within 10 microns of a final target thickness, and polishing the sorted carrier wafers to the final target thickness. The polished carrier wafers are mounted to device precursor wafers having at least one semiconductor epitaxial layer on a substrate by joining one surface of a carrier wafer to the epitaxial layer on a substrate. The thickness of the device precursor wafer is then reduced by removing material from the device precursor substrate opposite the joined epitaxial layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2005Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Carl Britt, Michael Paul Laughner, Craig William Hardin

Patent number: 7176004Abstract: The invention provides improved methods of introducing site-directed mutations into circular DNA molecules of interest by means of mutagenic primer pairs. The mutagenic primer pairs are also selected so as to be either completely complementary or partially complementary to each other, wherein the mutation site (or sites) is located within the region of complementarity. A mutagenic primer pair is annealed to opposite strands of a circular DNA molecule containing the DNA sequence to be mutagenized. After annealing, first and second mutagenized DNA strands, each incorporating a member of the mutagenic oligonucleotide primer pair is synthesized by a linear cyclic amplification reaction. After the linear cyclic amplification mediated synthesis step is completed, the reaction mixture is treated with a selection enzyme that digests the parental template strands. After the digesting step, a double-stranded circular DNA intermediate is formed.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2004Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignees: Stratagene California, Children's Medical Center CorporationInventors: John C. Bauer, Dowain A. Wright, Jeffrey Carl Braman, Raif S. Geha

Patent number: 6630217Abstract: An assembly, composed of long foamed tubing, with a soft inner surface and a smooth outer surface, so configured that it covers and minimizes the problem of snare points on equipment in contact with a protective covering tarpaulin. Protective tarpaulin are generally made of fabric or synthetic sheets. They can be made waterproof by impregnating them with various water proofing agents as well as being coated with a variety of natural or synthetic coatings such as acrylic or synthetic rubberized latices. Synthetic tarpaulins can be reinforced with a fiber matrics, if needed and used for example to cover pleasure boats, construction equipment, flatbed trucks, construction sites, airplanes, cars and trucks, where one wishes to protect from environmental exposure. Yet in spite of these intentions, these sheets exhibit significant defects in that they can be readily ripped and torn on the sharp and protruding edges of the equipment that they are intended to protect.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2000Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Inventors: William Jaaskelainen, Jr., Jeffrey Carl Schoenherr, Ronald James Urbin
