Jul 13, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/502016

Inventors:

Robert Donald Lucey - Temecula CA, US
Ronald F Nelson - Hermosa Beach CA, US

Assignee:

Trussed, Inc. - Perris CA

International Classification:

E04C 2/34

US Classification:

524811, 52295, 5274509, 522931

Abstract:

A shear wall construction and method for assembling the same is disclosed. A plywood sheet includes close laterally-spaced pairs of vertical studs or posts proximate each lateral end. A channel-defining member is fitted and fixed between the spaced studs. A tie member extends from the channel-defining member into a concrete foundation or other underlying building element. A track is also provided for sheathing a lower edge of the shear wall. Protrusions from the metal track aid in anchoring the shear wall to the concrete foundation.

International Classification:

E04B 1/38

US Classification:

52706, 52715, 4032321

Abstract:

A hold down connector is provided for securing together multiple building members. The hold down connector resists movement of the building members when connected to an elongated tie member. In one embodiment, the hold down connector includes a transverse portion connected to first and second elongated legs with at least one aperture at elongated connections between the transverse portion and the first leg and between the transverse portion and second leg. In another embodiment, the hold down connector includes a transverse portion connected to first and second elongated legs with the transverse portion partially supported by transverse extensions of the first and second legs. A hold down connector in accordance with embodiments results in increased load bearing properties, construction from thicker materials, and easy installation.

Appl. No.:

8/610533

Inventors:

Michael S. Lebby - Apache Junction AZ
Ronald J. Nelson - Scottsdale AZ

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G09G 334

US Classification:

345 84

Abstract:

An integrated electro-optical package (50) including a first light emitting device (LED) display chip (28) and at least one additional LED display chip (30), each composed of an optically transparent substrate (10) with an array (15) of LEDs (12) formed thereon and cooperating to generate a complete image. The LEDs (12) of the first LED display chip (28) are constructed to emit light of a wavelength different than the light emitted by the additional LED display chip(s) (30), thereby creating a different color menu or object bar (156) within the view (150) generated. A mounting substrate (25), having connection pads (32), bump bonded to the pads on the optically transparent substrate (10). A driver substrate (55) having connections to the pads (32) on the mounting substrate (25). A plurality of driver and control circuits (57) connected to the LED display chips (28) and (30) through electrodes on the driver substrate (55).

H01L 2302

US Classification:

257 81

Abstract:

An integrated electro-optical package including a semiconductor chip with a large array of light emitting devices formed thereon and cooperating to generate a complete real image. The light emitting devices are positioned in rows and columns and connected to pads adjacent outer edges of the chip. A window frame substrate having a central opening therethrough coextensive with the real image generated by the chip and mounting pads, bump bonded to the pads on the chip. A plurality of driver circuits connected to the light emitting devices through terminals on the window frame substrate. A lens mounted to the substrate over the opening and on a side opposite the chip to magnify the real image and produce an easily viewable virtual image.
