Patent number: 11269146Abstract: An apparatus comprises a first fastener part having a first set of mating features and a second fastener part having a second set of mating features. Coupling the first set of mating features with the second set of mating features, such that the first set of mating features contacts and at least partially overlaps the second set of mating features, forms a fastener having a channel with a hexagonal cross-section. The channel is configured to receive a plurality of fibers. Coupling the first fastener part to the second fastener part clamps the plurality of fibers in a hexagonal packing configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: Jonathan Halderman, Rumen Deyanov

Patent number: 8735772Abstract: Disclosed are laser scribing systems for laser scribing semiconductor substrates with backside coatings. In particular these laser scribing systems laser scribe opto-electric semiconductor wafers with reflective backside coatings so as to avoid damage to the opto-electric device while maintaining efficient manufacturing. In more particular these laser scribing systems employ ultrafast pulsed lasers at wavelength in the visible region and below in multiple passes to remove the backside coatings and scribe the wafer.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Electro Scientific Industries, Inc.Inventors: Juan Chacin, Irving Chyr, Jonathan Halderman

Patent number: 6417563Abstract: An integrated circuit arrangement comprising an integrated circuit package having a package board. An integrated circuit die is mounted to a surface of the package board. A spring frame is mounted to the package board surface at a pair of opposite frame bends. The spring frame has a central opening that receives the integrated circuit die. Sides of the spring frame away from the bends are raised from the package surface. A heat sink is mounted to the spring frame such that a bottom of the heat sink contacts an upper surface of the integrated circuit die as the heat sink pushes the sides of the spring frame toward the package surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2000Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Halderman, Mohammad Khan, Alexander C.
