Michael David Cusack 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: 8039318
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first and a second die positioned on a lead frame of a package. The lead frame includes a plurality of bond fingers. The integrated circuit includes a first bond pad on the first die that is electrically interconnected to a corresponding second bond pad on the second die through first and second bond fingers of the lead frame. The package may be a QFP, DIP, PLCC, TSOP, or any other type of package including a lead frame.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7495320
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) package, such as a Quad Flat Pack (QFP), has at least one lead with a tip that extends substantially perpendicular to the ends of two or more bondwires, so that there is room for more than one bondwire to be attached to it along its length. Thus, bondwires leading from die bondpads that are not adjacent to one another can be efficiently connected to the same lead in a bus-like manner.

  • Publication number: 20090020857
    Abstract: An integrated circuit or chip includes a first die and a second die positioned on a lead frame of a package including a lead frame, such as a QFP, DIP, PLCC, TSOP, or any other type of package including a lead frame. The integrated circuit further includes a redistribution layer formed on the first die to couple selected bond fingers of the lead frame to selected bonding pads of the first and second die. The selected bond fingers may correspond to bond fingers that receive a first supply voltage or the first supply voltage and a second supply voltage.

  • Patent number: 7446677
    Abstract: Optics are utilized in an input device such as a mouse or keyboard, for example, to detect a condition of one or more selection indicators, such as whether a key or button has been depressed or a scroll wheel has been rotated. Depressing a key, clicking a button and/or rotating a scroll wheel cause one or more optical signals to be reflected from the corresponding selection indicator onto an optical detector. The optical detector generates electrical signals in response to the light received by the optical detector. A computational device of the input device processes the electrical signals to determine whether a key or button has been depressed, whether a scroll wheel has been rotated, etc. The corresponding information is then input to a computer that is interfaced with the input device.
