Patents by Inventor Stephen Whiteley

Stephen Whiteley 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: 11848676
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improved electronic structures for propagating logic states between superconducting digital logic gates using a three-junction interferometer in a receiver circuit to reduce reflecting signals that otherwise result in distortions in the signals being transmitted between the gates. Other improved electronic structures comprise passive transmission lines (PTLs) with transmission line matching circuitry that has previously been avoided. The matching circuitry minimizes generation and propagation of spurious pulses emitted by Josephson junctions used in the digital logic gates.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050039610
    Abstract: A cooking apparatus and methods of forming are provided. The cooking apparatus has a cooking surface, a sidewall depending from the cooking surface, and a handle is provided. The handle has a saddle portion and a gripping portion. The saddle portion includes a first opening defined therethrough and a first recess defined about the first opening. The saddle portion is adjacent the sidewall so that the first recess defines a first gap between the sidewall and the saddle portion. A first rivet secures the handle to the sidewall. The rivet has a first weldament in the first gap, a first shaft in the first opening, and a first head abutting the handle and covering the first opening.
