US Patent:

43701922, Jan 25, 1983

Filed:

Oct 20, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/198567

Inventors:

Richard F. Cooley - Campbell CA

Assignee:

American Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

C23F 102
F25B 1900
H01L 21306

US Classification:

156345

Abstract:

Extremely cold gaseous nitrogen is used as a cooling medium in the highly exothermic reaction between a chemical etch solution and silicon. This greatly increases the throughput of silicon material through the etchant over prior art techniques, particularly where it is desired to maintain the temperature of the etchant solution below 25. degree.

Filed:

Apr 25, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/185865

Inventors:

Richard Cooley - Los Gatos CA

International Classification:

B28B 726

US Classification:

249120

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for making ice cubes is disclosed wherein a large number of ice trays or liquid trapping elements are placed in a larger container, liquid added to the larger container to a level which will fill the liquid trapping elements when the container is positioned in an ultimate storage position and in the ultimate storage position, all the liquid not trapped in the trapping elements is drained. Apparatus disclosed is a container for closely receiving a plurality of ice trays and a lid with a closeable drain opening. A closeable opening is shown in a container wall. Racks can be provided on one container wall and the container can be made of insulating material.

Appl. No.:

6/822712

Inventors:

C. Arthur Thorp - Santa Clara CA
Richard F. Cooley - Campbell CA

Assignee:

American Microsystems, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H01R 4302

US Classification:

29827

Abstract:

A single layer copper foil tape is provided having a center core and connected lead beams. Etched apertures are formed to separate adjacent lead beams and to form relatively high strength foil straps connecting edge portions of the foil tape and the center core. Score lines may be etched at the ends of each of the lead beams to form breakaway links at such ends. The inner ends of the lead beams are then bonded to a semiconductor die at its contact pad or bumps and the resultant subassembly aligned with inner ends of the fingers of a metal lead frame array or other set of external leads such as a pin grid array and the outer ends of the lead beams bonded to such fingers. At this point, all of the remaining portions of the foil tape are peeled or pulled off the assembly, the lead beams being separated at their breakaway links, leaving only the lead beams connecting the die and set of external leads intact. The straps allow for simultaneous removal of the central foil stabilizing core when the remainder of the foil tape is pulled or peeled away from the connected lead beams.

Appl. No.:

6/698213

Inventors:

Richard L. Cooley - San Mateo CA

Assignee:

Calgon Carbon Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B01D 5304

US Classification:

55385R

Abstract:

An adsorption apparatus, containing activated carbon, which fits into standard manholes of various sizes and allows sewer gases driven by a positive pressure to vent through the activated carbon, is described. The odor associated with the sewer gas is reduced or eliminated by the activated carbon contained in said apparatus.
