Mark Stuart Hammond has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6739047
    Abstract: A package for an electronic component includes a metal support substrate having a pattern of openings therethrough and a body of an insulating material, such as glass or ceramic, on and bonded to the surface of the support substrate. The body is formed from a plurality of layers of an insulating material, and conductive vias extending through the plurality of layers to the support substrate; said insulating body having an opening therein, an electronic component directly mounted in said opening to the patterned base plate. The base plate can be cut into one or more modules and directly soldered to a motherboard having additional devices mounted thereon.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6713862
    Abstract: Integrated packages incorporating multilayer ceramic circuit boards mounted on a metal support substrate can be used for temperature control by the metal support substrate. Various electronic components, as well as additional temperature control devices, can be connected to the circuit boards and to the metal support substrate to control or regulate the temperature of operation of the components. The integrated package can be hermetically sealed with a lid.

  • Patent number: 6653009
    Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cells made by coating a slurry of an electrolyte having a limited amount of organic material onto a carrier tape, depositing a one or two layer electrode material on the tape sufficient to support the electrolyte layer, removing the tape, screen printing a second electrode layer on the exposed surface of the electrolyte layer, and firing the layers at a temperature of 1100-1300° C. The resultant fired fuel cell can be mounted on an interconnector comprising a base plate, grooves formed in one face of the base plate, a porous conductive ceramic contact layer between the base plate and an overlying blocking layer of a porous conductive layer to provide electrical contact between the base plate and the blocking layer, or an interconnector having a fired green tape stack having conductive via contacts and air and gas flow channels formed therein. A sealing glass bonds the overlying layers to the base plate.
