Patent №: 11830745 (November 28, 2023) – 3D packages and methods for forming the same.
Hou introduced this groundbreaking invention, which showcases a semiconductor device comprising interconnected structures consisting of thin film and metal layers. The design optimizes the surface area of each metal layer, enhancing the device’s performance. Additionally, the semiconductor device incorporates a die with active surfaces and a connector for seamless interconnection.
Duane E Kerr
Mechanical Engineer at Covidien since 1989.
Patent №: 11826090 (November 28, 2023) – Bipolar surgical instrument.
Kerr’s bipolar forceps employs a mechanical forceps design comprising two shafts and jaw members. The jaws can be moved relative to each other using a handle, allowing for precise manipulation around a pivot. A disposable housing is incorporated, coupled to at least one shaft, and equipped with an electrode assembly. These electrodes, which can be connected to the jaw members, boast a knife channel suitable for tissue cutting. Furthermore, an actuation mechanism facilitates tissue incisions, and a switch enables electrosurgical energy delivery.
