US Classification:

295921, 422 8201, 422 8202

Abstract:

A method of forming at least one electronic device on a substrate comprising creating a depository and an attached capillary; providing a liquid containing particles in the range 1 nanometer to 1 millimeter for deposit into the depository; the liquid flowing into the at least one capillary by capillary action; evaporating the liquid such that the particles form an agglomerate beginning at the end of the at least one capillary with a substantially uniform distribution of the particles within the agglomerate; whereby the agglomerate is used to form a part of the at least one electronic device. An microelectronic integrated circuit device comprising a substrate; a depository coupled to said substrate formed by at least one wall, a capillary channel coupled to said depository adapted to be filled with liquid comprising nanoparticles by capillary action, whereby as the liquid evaporates, an agglomerate forms in the capillary channel having a substantially uniform distribution of the particles.

Appl. No.:

7/289631

Inventors:

Christopher D. Meyer - Sterling Heights MI

Assignee:

Allied-Signal, Inc. - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

B60R 2218

US Classification:

280801

Abstract:

An interlock mechanism for a three-point safety restraint system comprising a tongue plate having a pair of intersecting openings of dissimilar diameters, the point of intersection defining a narrow passage, a connector plate assembly adapted to be connected to the tongue plate having a two tier shoulder rivet including an enlarged head portion having a diameter smaller than the larger opening and larger than the smaller opening. The rivet further including a circular boss formed on the underside of the head portion having a diameter slightly smaller than the smaller opening and larger than the diameter of the passage. A spring having one end in engagement with the connector plate and having its other end in engagement with a flat faced spring retainer, the spring and spring retainer urging the tongue plate and connector plate in compressive engagement when such plates are in a locked position with the rivet centered about the smaller of the two openings.

Inventors:

Christopher D. Meyer - Sterling Heights MI

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

B60R 2110

US Classification:

280801

Abstract:

A quick disconnect three point safety restraint system for use in motor vehicles having a retractor means 18 forming one point of the safety restraint system, a receptacle 14 forming the second point and a quick disconnect 34 slideably mounted on the webbing 20 is operable to secured to an anchor 22 mounted to the frame 42 of the vehicle for forming the third point of the safety restraint system. The quick disconnect 34 is a tongue 38 integrally connected to a webbing guide 40 and receivably connected to a receptacle 36 mounted on the anchor 30. When the seats 10 of the vehicle are to be removed, the quick disconnect 34 removes the webbing 20 from the vehicle and a seat back bracket 28 retains the webbing 22 to the seat 10. The receptacle 14 and the retractor 18 are securely mounted on the frame 12 of the seat 10.

Appl. No.:

15/209115

Inventors:

- Adelphi MD, US
Christopher D. Meyer - Silver Spring MD, US

International Classification:

H01F 27/28
H01F 27/24
H01F 27/02

Abstract:

A deformable inductive device includes an elastomer material having at least one deformable electrode and a liquid magnetic core formed in the elastomer material and containing a magnetic liquid. Depending on the device's configuration, the deformable element may be embedded in, attached to, or in close proximity with the liquid magnetic core. In some embodiments, the deformable inductive device may be configured as an inductor, solenoid, or transformer and the deformable electrode is at least partially embedded in the liquid magnetic core, for instance. In another embodiment, the deformable inductive device may be configured as part of a wireless power transfer system which includes a coil and a magnetic backplane having the liquid magnetic core with the coil being attached to or in close proximity to the magnetic backplane.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to electrical devices and methods for fabricating electrical devices using an oxidation process. According to one embodiment, a method of forming an electrical device using an oxidation process includes forming a metallic element which is to become an electrically insulating or resistive element in an electrical device; forming an electrically conductive element connected to the metallic element, wherein the metallic element and the electrically conductive element have different oxidation behavior when subjected to the oxidation process; and subjecting the elements forming the electrically insulating or resistive element and the electrically conductive element to the oxidation process.
