Power amplifier modules including topside cooling interfaces and methods for the fabrication thereof
Patent number: 11990872Abstract: Power amplifier modules (PAMs) having topside cooling interfaces are disclosed, as are methods for fabricating such PAMs. In embodiments, the method includes attaching the RF power die to a die support-surface of a module substrate. The RF power die is attached to the module substrate in an inverted orientation such that a frontside of the RF power die faces the module substrate. When attaching the RF power die to the module substrate, a frontside input/output interface of the RF power die is electrically coupled to corresponding substrate interconnect features of the module substrate. The method further includes providing a primary heat extraction path extending from the transistor channel of the RF power die to a topside cooling interface of the PAM in a direction opposite the module substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: NXP USA, Inc.Inventors: Geoffrey Tucker, Lakshminarayan Viswanathan, Jeffrey Kevin Jones, Elie A.

Publication number: 20240009688Abstract: The present disclosure is generally directed to adjustable components of a shower assembly. The shower assembly includes at least one showerhead moveably coupled to a shower rail by a joint. The joint is located at a position away from a center axis of the showerhead such that the showerhead can move between at least two independent showerhead positions. The shower rail includes at least one slidable component such that a position of the shower rail can be adjusted in at least one direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Kohler Co.Inventors: Gary Clarke, Tucker Jones, Connor McManus, Brandon Miller

Publication number: 20230279960Abstract: The tub and shower diverter assembly includes an escutcheon, a manifold sub-assembly, and a handle assembly. The manifold sub-assembly is fluidly coupled to an existing waterway connector of an existing conventional tub and shower diverter system. The manifold sub-assembly includes a mixing valve at least partially disposed through the escutcheon and coupled to the manifold sub-assembly by a valve nut. The handle assembly is coaxially aligned with the mixing valve. The handle assembly includes a base insertably coupled to the valve nut and a handle rotatably coupled to the base. The handle is threadably coupled to the mixing valve. The escutcheon abuts a wall when the handle is threadably coupled to the mixing valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Kohler Co.Inventors: Tucker A. Jones, Brian J. Mooren, Evan S. Yee, Gregory R. Schmidt

Patent number: 11156302Abstract: A tub and shower diverter assembly includes a manifold sub-assembly that is configured to be detachably coupled to, and in fluid communication with, an existing waterway connector of a conventional tub and shower diverter system. The manifold sub-assembly includes a manifold, first and second flow control valves coupled to the manifold, and first and second tolerance adjustors adjustably coupled to the first and second flow control valves, respectively. The first flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to one of a tub or a shower device. The second flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to the other of the tub or the shower device. The first and second tolerance adjustors are each configured to be selectively adjusted to change an axial position of the respective tolerance adjustor relative to a wall adjacent the manifold sub-assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: KOHLER CO.Inventors: Tucker A. Jones, Brian J. Mooren, Evan S. Yee, Gregory R. Schmidt
