Patent number: 11968299Abstract: Certain aspects relate to encryption systems and methods for medical devices. A medical device can include a connectivity module for establishing a communication channel with a cloud system. After obtaining a test result, the device can generate an unencrypted data block comprising a device identifier and an encrypted data block comprising a serial number of the device and the test result using an encryption key associated with the device identifier. The device can securely send the test result to the cloud system by transmitting the unencrypted data block and the encrypted data block to the cloud system via the communication channel.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Strett Roger Nicolson, Larry Greenspan, Michael Fenske, Paul Fieni, Mark Larsen

Patent number: 8598035Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor dice with backside trenches filled with elastic conductive material. The trenches reduce the on-state resistances of the devices incorporated on the dice. The elastic conductive material provides a conductive path to the backsides of the die with little induced stress on the semiconductor die caused by thermal cycling. Also disclosed are packages using the dice, and methods of making the dice.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Fairchild Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 8072027Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods for making such devices that contain a 3D channel architecture are described. The 3D channel architecture is formed using a dual trench structure containing with a plurality of lower trenches extending in an x and y directional channels and separated by a mesa and an upper trench extending in a y direction and located in an upper portion of the substrate proximate a source region. Thus, smaller pillar trenches are formed within the main line-shaped trench. Such an architecture generates additional channel regions which are aligned substantially perpendicular to the conventional line-shaped channels. The channel regions, both conventional and perpendicular, are electrically connected by their corner and top regions to produce higher current flow in all three dimensions. With such a configuration, higher channel density, a stronger inversion layer, and a more uniform threshold distribution can be obtained for the semiconductor device. Other embodiments are described.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Fairchild Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Suku Kim, Dan Calafut, Ihsiu Ho, Dan Kinzer, Steven Sapp, Ashok Challa, Seokjin Jo, Mark Larsen

Patent number: 8058732Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor die structures that enable a die having a vertical power device to be packaged in a wafer-level chip scale package where the current-conducting terminals are present at one surface of the die, and where the device has very low on-state resistance. In an exemplary embodiment, a trench and an aperture are formed in a backside of a die, with the aperture contacting a conductive region at the top surface of the die. A conductive layer and/or a conductive body may be disposed on the trench and aperture to electrically couple the backside current-conducting electrode of the device to the conductive region. Also disclosed are packages and systems using a die with a die structure according to the invention, and methods of making dice with a die structure according to the invention.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Fairchild Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Michael D.
