International Classification:

A63B 57/00

US Classification:

473406000

Abstract:

An apparatus, system and method for marking a location of a golf ball in play is disclosed. A golf ball location marking device includes an adaptable, planar body defined by a periphery and having a top face containing a color that contrasts with a color of grass. The marking device further includes a flexible edging material attached to the body along at least a portion of the periphery.

Jul 16, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/915492

Inventors:

Michael F. Brady - Morrisville PA
Rajan D. Deshmukh - Yardley PA

Assignee:

AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

B23K 100
B23K 3538

US Classification:

22818022

Abstract:

A solder self-alignment process for aligning a semiconductor chip (13) with, and bonding the chip to, a substrate (12) is preformed in an atmosphere rich in gaseous formic acid, at least during the melting step. It is preferred that the formic acid atmosphere be maintained during the self-alignment step and the step of cooling and hardening the solder elements (23). With this feature, one can completely avoid the use of any solid or liquid fluxes and avoid the consequences of such use. Nonetheless, the molten solder elements (23) dependably bond to the bonding surfaces and vertically align themselves.

Appl. No.:

8/579617

Inventors:

Michael Francis Brady - Morrisville PA
Hung Ngoc Nguyen - Bensalem PA

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G01B 1100

US Classification:

356400

Abstract:

A method and apparatus measures a deviation in alignment between two components of a product wherein each component is characterized by a respective pattern and wherein each pattern comprises respective elements. The centroid of each element in each respective pattern is indicated, and based on the centroid indications, the center of each respective pattern is indicated. The deviation in alignment between the two components is determined as a function of the indicated position of the centers of the respective patterns, and positioning of the components is controlled as a function of the indicated position of the centers of the respective patterns.

US Patent:

Filed:

Feb 19, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/252729

Inventors:

Michael Francis Brady - Morrisville PA

Sailesh Mansinh Merchant - Orlando FL
Casimir Roman Nijander - Lawrenceville NJ
John William Osenbach - Kutztown PA

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

B23K 3100
B23K10140
G02B 1318

US Classification:

2281241

Abstract:

The invention is a method and resulting device which provides a strong bond between a silicon substrate and an oxide component mounted within a cavity in the substrate. A layer of titanium, for example, is deposited on the walls of the cavity, followed by deposition of a layer of aluminum. The structure is preferably annealed to form titanium silicide and titanium-aluminum interface layers. The component is then bonded to the aluminum layer.

International Classification:

H01L 2906

US Classification:

257623

Abstract:

A method for creating attached features while controlling the depth profile between the features is presented. First the features are formed with a separating barrier between the features. The separating barrier is then etched in a second step with an orientation dependent etchant to attach the two feature. This method can be used to create attached features of relative similar sizes or attached features of disparate sizes.

Infrasonics, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820423

Abstract:

Patients are ventilated responsive to a temporary cessation of breathing by monitoring the spontaneous breaths of the patient and providing a series of mechanical breaths to the patient in the event that the spontaneous breaths by the patient cease. The individual breaths of the series are timed such that the rate of the breaths decreases with increasing time, to induce the patient to resume spontaneous breathing. The approach is practiced with a patient ventilator that is operable responsive to a series of commands that trigger the series of mechanical breaths, with the time between breaths gradually increasing.

H01L 2188

US Classification:

437229

Abstract:

An antireflection coating (21) for use in integrated circuit processing consists of a film of tungsten silicide (WSi. sub. 45) or tungsten silicon nitride (WSiN). These coatings are preferably made by sputtering, with the tungsten silicon nitride coating being made by sputtering in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere.
