Richard Benjamin Hammer 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: 5773884
    Abstract: An electronic package which includes a rigid support member, e.g., copper sheet, to which is bonded both the package's semiconductor chip and circuitized substrate members. The chip is bonded using a thermally conductive adhesive while the circuitized substrate, preferably a flexible circuit, is bonded using an electrically insulative adhesive. The chip is electrically coupled to designated parts of the circuitry of the substrate, preferably by wire, thermocompression or thermosonic bonding. An encapsulant may be used to cover and protect the connections between the chip and substrate. This package may in turn be electrically coupled to a separate, second substrate such as a PCB.

  • Patent number: 4086418
    Abstract: Hollow cellulosic fibers are produced by nitrosating and dissolving a cellulosic material in an aprotic solvent selected from the group consisting of a dialkylacylamide and dimethylsulfoxide and regenerating the dissolved cellulose by contacting the cellulose solution with a regenerant. The regenerant is n-octanol where the solvent is a dialkylacylamide and n-hexanol where the solvent is dimethylsulfoxide. The fibers are hollow as regenerated and require no special spinnerette designs nor special spinning conditions.

  • Patent number: 4076932
    Abstract: Regenerated cellulosic articles are produced by nitrosating and dissolving cellulose in a dialkylacylamide solvent, such as dimethylformamide, and regenerating the dissolved cellulose by passing into a coagulant bath. The coagulant comprises water or a 1 to 4 carbon atom aliphatic monohydric alcohol and a soluble reactive base, the latter in an amount ranging from 6% to 25% by weight of the regenerant. The process produces regenerated cellulose products of improved resistance to alkaline solubility.

  • Patent number: 4076933
    Abstract: Shaped cellulosic fibers are produced by nitrosating and dissolving a cellulosic material in an aprotic solvent selected from the group consisting of a dialkylacylamide and dimethylsulfoxide and regenerating the dissolved cellulose by contacting the cellulose solution with a regenerant. The regenerant is butanol, pentanol or benzyl alcohol where the solvent is a dialkylacylamide and propanol, butanol or benzyl alcohol where the solvent is dimethylsulfoxide. The fibers have a generally crenulated shape as regenerated and require no special spinnerette designs nor special spinning conditions.

  • Patent number: 4056675
    Abstract: Regenerated cellulosic fibers of improved resistance to alkaline treatment are produced by nitrosating and dissolving from 5 to 14% by weight of a cellulosic material in a dialkylacylamide solvent while said solution is maintained at a temperature no greater than 20.degree. C to form a cellulose nitrite ester, and regenerating the cellulose by contacting the cellulose ester with a regenerant. Regeneration of the cellulose occurs before significant oxidation of the cellulose takes place.
