Publication number: 20240145504Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a plurality of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) pixels. The semiconductor device may be a backside device having a substrate at the backside, dielectric layers on the substrate, metal layers interleaved with the dielectric layers, and a through silicon via (TSV) formed in the backside through the substrate and the dielectric layers. TSV seal rings may be formed around the TSV to protect the semiconductor device from moisture and/or water ingress. The TSV seal rings may be coupled to a high-voltage cathode bond pad and be coupled to offset portions of one of the metal layers to reduce leakage and/or parasitic effects due to the voltage difference between the cathode and the substrate. The TSV seal rings may also be merged with die seal rings at the edge of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Peter GAMBINO, Rick Carlton JEROME, David T. PRICE, Michael Gerard KEYES, Anne DEIGNAN

Patent number: 11961859Abstract: Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a digital signal processor having a first side and a second side and an image sensor array, having a first side and a second side. The first side of the image sensor array may be coupled to the second side of the digital signal processor through a plurality of hybrid bond interconnect (HBI) bond pads and an edge seal. One or more openings may extend from the second side of the image sensor array into the second side of the digital signal processor to an etch stop layer in the second side of the digital signal processor. The one or more openings may form a second edge seal between the plurality of HBI bond pads and the edge of the digital signal processor.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Peter Gambino, Kyle Thomas, David T. Price, Rusty Winzenread, Bruce Greenwood

Publication number: 20140194559Abstract: The invention concerns a formulation and method which allow for the efficient delivery of antipolymerants of low solubility into processes for the production of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, and associated process streams, and which avoid the potential health and safety problems and economic disadvantages which are associated with the methods of the prior art and facilitate the safe and efficient production of these monomers. Specifically, the invention provides an antipolymerant composition for the prevention of unwanted polymerisation reactions during the production and processing of ethylenically unsaturated compounds, the composition comprising a concentrated liquid formulation, wherein said concentrated liquid formulation is a suspension concentrate which comprises: (a) at least one compound selected from the group comprising phenols, quinones, thiazines, hydroxylamines and aromatic amines; (b) at least one dispersing agent; and (c) at least one polar or non-polar liquid carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: NuFarm UK LimitedInventors: Peter Price, Guillaume Duchamp, Angela Jane Glossop, Andrew Nigel Fawbert, Stephanie Mary Dwyer

Publication number: 20050250725Abstract: The present invention in general is directed to methods for manipulating cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor activity. Such manipulation will reduce or eliminate the expression of p21 gene based on specific requirements. This will be helpful in treating or preventing pathophysiological state in an individual which is characterized by undesirable level of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor activity, treating chronic progessive renal failure or lowering the rate of long-term rejection of a transplated organ in an individual. Additionally, the present invention also teaches up-regulating the expression of p21 gene using histone deacetylase inhibitors. The use of such inhibitors alone will be be helpful in treating acute renal failures whereas in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs will enhance the therapeutic potential of such drugs.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2005Publication date: November 10, 2005Inventors: Peter Price, Judit Megyesi, Robert Safirstein

Patent number: 6677490Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a mixture of alcohols/ketones by decomposing an alkyl hydroperoxide, particularly to a method for producing a cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone by decomposing cyclohexyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst. According to the invention, the reaction is carried out in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst containing an organometallic segment fixed on the surface of a porous solid compound such as silicon. The organometallic segment can be formula (I).Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Rhodia Polyamide IntermediatesInventors: James Clark, Eric Fache, Ducan Macquarrie, Peter Price, John Rafelt

Patent number: 6468004Abstract: A facing element for a reinforced soil structure has first and second adjoining chamber. A polymeric strip to be secured to the facing element is circumflected about a non-metallic member, and the member and a portion of the circumflected strip are inserted into the first chamber and moved laterally into the second chamber where they are retained in wedged-engagement. The first chamber is sealed to prevent removal of the rod.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Inventor: Derrick Ian Peter Price

Patent number: 6224295Abstract: To secure a polymeric strip (5) to a facing (10) of a reinforced soil structure, the strip (5) is circumflected about a plastics rod (4) and the circumflected strip and the rod are interposed between two or more blocks (1, 2) in a cavity (7) to retain the rod and thereby secure the strip (5) to the facing (10). The location of the rod (4) within the facing serves to distribute more uniformly the load imposed by the facing (10) on the strip (5), and the plastics rod (4) is resistant to corrosion.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Inventors: Derrick Ian Peter Price, Christopher Martin

Patent number: 4959323Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, recombinant plasmids are described which, when inserted into microbial hosts, direct the synthesis of proteins in which preS polypeptides found on the surface of human hepatitis B virus are fused to the enzyme .beta.-galactosidase. The recombinant plasmids are produced by inserting DNA sequences encoding the preS polypeptides into the lacZ gene, which codes for E. coli .beta.-galactosidase, carried by the plasmids. Large amounts of the preS-.beta.-galactosidase fusion proteins can be isolated from microbial cultures carrying the recombinant plasmids. Antigenic determinants of fusion protein so produced are recognized by antibodies to the preS determinants of native hepatitis B virus. The .beta.-galactosidase activity of such fusion protein is detected by a suitable chromogenic or fluorogenic substrate. PreS-.beta.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1985Date of Patent: September 25, 1990Assignee: Mt. Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New YorkInventors: George Acs, Judith K.
