Patent number: 11181489Abstract: Provided herein are methods and apparatus for characterizing high aspect ratio (HAR) structures of fabricated or partially fabricated semiconductor devices. The methods involve using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to determine average parameters of an array of HAR structures. In some implementations, SAXS is used to analyze symmetry of HAR structures in a sample and may be referred to as tilted structural symmetry analysis-SAXS (TSSA-SAXS) or TSSA. Analysis of parameters such as tilt, sidewall angle, bowing, and the presence of multiple tilts in HAR structures may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignees: Lam Research Corporation, The Government of the United States of America, represented by the Secretary of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and TechnologyInventors: William Dean Thompson, Regis Joseph Kline, Daniel F.

Patent number: 9849042Abstract: An absorbent article comprises a lateral axis defining a front portion and a back portion in the absorbent article, a topsheet, and a backsheet. The absorbent article further comprises an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The backsheet comprises a first backsheet zone positioned at least partially in the front portion, and a second backsheet zone positioned in the back portion. The first and second backsheet zones differ from each other in at least one physical property. The physical property is basis weight, thickness, density, and/or tensile modulus. The second backsheet zone overlaps a portion of the absorbent core in the back portion. The second backsheet zone is not bonded to the absorbent core in the area of overlap.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Mark Joseph Kline, Jeromy Thomas Raycheck, Donald Carroll Roe, Pankaj Nigam, Carl Louis Bergman

Patent number: 9790980Abstract: A fastener nut for securing a part to channel framing defining at least one internal, generally T-shaped track extending lengthwise of the channel framing. The fastener nut includes a nut body, and first and second wings extending longitudinally outward from respective first and second longitudinal ends of the body. The first and second wings having respective terminal ends defining an effective wing span therebetween that is greater than the length of the body such that at least a portion of the fastener nut has a generally T-shaped side profile. The fastener nut is insertable in the generally T-shaped track of the channel framing to allow the fastener nut to slide along the length of the channel framing and to restrict transverse movement of the fastener nut in the interior, relative to length of the framing, for use in positioning the fastener nut along the channel framing.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: William E. McCarthy, James A. Knutson, Zhihui Zhang, Joseph Kline

Publication number: 20140237774Abstract: A clip for removably attaching a one or more cables with a support is provided. The clip includes a base surface and a top surface attached on said base surface, one or more indentations on the top surface and cord. The top surface has a Up protruding to form a channel. The one or more indentations on the top surface through the base surface allow attachment means to attach the base surface on the subject. The cord is kept on a first indent of the base surface and further is pulled around one or more cables and hooked on the lip through the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Inventor: Joseph Kline

Patent number: 5706047Abstract: A optical storage disc for use in an optical storage system includes a storage layer which is capable of being disrupted when a laser beam of sufficient intensity is focused thereon. The optical storage disc has a transparent substrate layer on one side of the storage layer and a lacquer layer on the other side of the storage layer. The disruptions provided by the laser beam are selected to provide human readable and/or machine readable patterns. To reduce the damage to portions of the optical disc other than the storage layer, the storage layer is exposed to the laser beam prior to curing, or prior to applying and curing the lacquer layer. The optical disc can be of the type with data written thereon during fabrication, or the disc can be of the type in which data can be impressed thereon after fabrication of the optical disc. The patterns on the optical disc can be in the form of optical bar codes formed in a mirror region of the disc.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1995Date of Patent: January 6, 1998Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Joseph Lentz, Thomas Richard Cushman, Patrick Joseph Kline

Patent number: 5671202Abstract: An optical storage disk for use in an optical storage system includes a storage layer which is capable of being disrupted when a laser bee of sufficient intensity is focused thereon. The optical storage disk has a transparent substrate layer on one side of the storage layer and a lacquer layer on the other side of the storage layer. The disruptions provided by the laser beam are selected to provide human readable and/or machine readable patterns. The optical disk can be of the type with data written thereon during fabrication, or the disk can be of the type in which data can be impressed thereon after fabrication of the optical disk. The patterns on the optical disk can be in the form of optical bar codes. In one application of the present invention involving the type of disk on which data can be written after fabrication, the pattern resulting from application of the laser beam to the disk is read by an optical reading device and transferred to the disk in the data format.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1995Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Scott Alan Brownstein, Joseph Paul Lentz, Thomas Richard Cushman, Patrick Joseph Kline
