Title: Joseph Regh: Innovator in Acoustical Engineering and Integrated Circuits
Introduction
Joseph Regh is a notable inventor based in Wappingers Falls, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the fields of acoustical engineering and integrated circuits. With a total of 3 patents, his work has had a lasting impact on the design and functionality of musical instruments and semiconductor technology.
Latest Patents
One of Regh's latest patents focuses on tailoring critical properties of wood-mass, specifically lateral and transverse stiffness, and damping for use in musical instruments. This patent describes optimized tone wood for acoustical performance and methods for enhancing tone wood. The invention adjusts the longitudinal to cross-grain stiffness ratio, acoustical mass, and damping of tone wood to improve the volume and quality of tonal output. By selectively removing a portion of summer growth of the wood, Regh's method reduces cross-grain stiffness while retaining the winter growth for longitudinal stiffness. Additionally, damping materials can modify the effects of the summer growth removal.
Another significant patent involves a method of forming an integrated circuit region through a combination of techniques. This method entails ion implanting impurities of a selected conductivity-determining type into a semiconductor substrate through at least one aperture in a masking electrically insulative layer. The process includes diffusing a conductivity-determining impurity of the same type through the same aperture into the substrate. This method is particularly applicable when the electrically insulative layer is a composite of two layers, such as silicon nitride and silicon dioxide.
