Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110018109Deep silicon via for grounding of circuits and devices, emitter ballasting and isolation - According to an exemplary embodiment, a semiconductor die including at least one deep silicon via is provided. The deep silicon via comprises a deep silicon via opening that extends through at least one pre-metal dielectric layer of the semiconductor die, at least one epitaxial layer of the semiconductor die, and partially into a conductive substrate of the semiconductor die. The deep silicon via further comprises a conductive plug situated in the deep silicon via opening and forming an electrical contact with the conductive substrate. The deep silicon via may include a sidewall dielectric layer and a bottom conductive layer. A method for making a deep silicon via is also disclosed. The deep silicon via is used to, for example, provide a ground connection for power transistors in the semiconductor die.01-27-2011

20090266953CONVERSION BRACKET FOR DISPLAY HOOK - A conversion bracket for mounting a pegboard display hook on an alternate display structure includes a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate movably coupled to the first mounting plate so as to permit the conversion bracket to be guided over and positioned on the alternate display structure. The first mounting plate has at least one first mounting opening and the second mounting plate has at least one second mounting opening for receiving the mounting structure of the display hook. Each of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate defines at least one cavity configured to receive a portion of the alternate display structure. The first mounting plate may include a pair of first mounting plates that are joined together by an integral arm extending therebetween, or alternatively, are independently rotatable relative to the second mounting plate.10-29-2009

20090104134ORGANOPHILIC CLAY FOR THICKENING ORGANIC SOLVENTS - An organophilic clay for thickening hydrophobic liquids comprising a layered silicate material, surfaces of said layered silicate material modified by an amphipathic copolymer prepared from a first comonomer that generates a hydrophilic homopolymer that is essentially insoluble in a hydrophobic liquid and a second comonomer that generates a hydrophobic homopolymer that is soluble in a hydrophobic liquid, said organophilic clay containing at least 10% by weight water, based on the dry weight of the layered silicate material.04-23-2009
20100183688Delivery System and Method of Manufacturing the Same - A microparticle delivery system for an active compound which includes an active compound loaded onto polymeric microparticles, wherein the loaded microparticles are encased by a matrix material comprising about 68% to about 99%, by weight, of the microparticle delivery system. Compositions containing the microparticle delivery system, and methods of manufacturing the microparticle delivery system, also are disclosed.07-22-2010
20100264044Single Dose Dispensing Package - A single dose dispensing package (10-21-2010
20110005943Wipe Products Having Enhanced Long Term Stability - A multiwipe package having enhanced wipe storage stability is disclosed. The wipe package contains a stack of wipes in a barrier packaging film, wherein the headspace in the package between the stack of wipes and the packaging film is minimized.01-13-2011
20120014888Matte Skin Finish Compositions - A composition and method for reducing the shine of human skin is disclosed. The composition imparts a topical matte finish to the skin for an extended time period. The composition contains polymeric microparticles, optionally loaded with a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care compound.01-19-2012
