Andrew Felker, Livermore, CA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120104359Method of Fabricating Optical Devices Using Laser Treatment of Contact Regions of Gallium and Nitrogen Containing Material - A method for forming optical devices includes providing a gallium nitride substrate having a crystalline surface region and a backside region. The backside is subjected to a laser scribing process to form scribe regions. Metal contacts overly the scribe regions.05-03-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110309373Singulation Method and Resulting Device of Thick Gallium and Nitrogen Containing Substrates - A method for singulation of thick GaN wafers (e.g., 300-400 um) through the use of a double-side laser-scribe process. In a preferred embodiment, the patterned GaN substrate is processed using a laser-scribe on each side of the substrate to form scribe lines. The scribe lines are aligned to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the substrate has not been subjected to a thinning or polishing process for reducing its thickness.12-22-2011
20110315999Gallium and Nitrogen Containing Triangular or Diamond-shaped Configuration for Optical Devices - A gallium and nitrogen containing optical device has a base region and no more than three major planar side regions configured in a triangular arrangement provided from the base region.12-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120009705Techniques of Forming Ohmic Contacts on GaN Light Emitting Diodes - A method of forming ohmic contacts on a light emitting diode that features a surface treatment of a substrate includes exposing a surface of a p-type gallium nitride layer to an acid-containing solution and a buffered oxide etch process. A quantum well is formed in a gallium nitride substrate and a layer of p-type gallium nitride is deposited over the quantum well. The surface of the p-type gallium nitride is exposed to an acid-containing solution and then a buffered oxide etch process is performed to provide an etched surface. A metal stack including a layer of silver disposed between layers of platinum is then deposited.01-12-2012

Charles E. Felker, Gill, CO US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090054959THERAPEUTIC FOOT AND LEG WARMER - There is provided by this invention a foot warming device that is light weight comprising a lower foot portion and an tipper leg portion. The upper leg portion is comprised of flaps that open in the front to allow easy entry of the foot and leg and has hook and loop type connectors manufactured under the trademark Velcro to adjustably fasten to wrap the flaps around the foot and leg to enclose them within the foot warmer. Inserted between an outer covering and the insulating inner lining of the lower foot portion and the upper leg portion are electrically conductive heating elements wherein the resistance of the heating elements is designed so that when the foot warmer is connected to a source of low voltage power such as 02-26-2009

David C. Felker, Escondido, CA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110269576NONCONFORMING ANTI-SLICE BALL - A non-conforming golf ball has a plurality of dimples formed on the outer surface of the ball in a predetermined dimple pattern, the outer surface comprising one or more first areas which include a plurality of first dimples which together have a first dimple volume and at least one second area having a dimple volume less that the first dimple volume, the first and second areas being configured to establish a preferred spin axis. The second area may be a band around the equator which has a lower dimple volume or no dimples, with the polar regions have a higher volume of dimples, creating a preferred spin axis through the poles.11-03-2011

Frederick C. Felker, Morton, IL US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090117247Starch-Lipid Composite - A starch-lipid composite and related composition are described that enhance yield and sensory properties of low fat ground meat. Techniques are described herein for improving the taste and characteristics of ground meat and foods using such, by incorporation of the composite and/or the noted composition.05-07-2009

Michael Felker, Missouri City, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110122561Modular Data Center - A modular data center is constructed utilizing two building modules, wherein each of two modules includes a computer rack disposed therein which computer rack is spaced apart from an exterior wall to define an exterior access space and spaced apart from an interior opening to define an interior access space. When the two building modules are joined so that the openings abut one another, the interior access spaces of the two modules form a contiguous space between the two computer racks, which space satisfies access requirements for each computer rack. The interior access space between the two computer racks may be enclosed to form an environment that can be separately cooled from the remainder of the modular data center. A method provides two building modules, each containing a computer rack, which modules are joined so that the access spaces for the computer racks overlap, wherein a portion of the computer rack access space of one module forms part of the computer rack access space of the other module.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080242611TGF-Alpha POLYPEPTIDES, FUNCTIONAL FRAGMENTS AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR - Disclosed are TGF-α polypeptides, related polypeptides, fragments and mimetics thereof useful in stimulating stem cell or precursor cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. The methods of the invention are useful to treat tissue injury as well as expand stem cell populations in, or obtained from, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, urogenital, neurological and cardiovascular tissues. The methods include ex vivo and in vivo applications.10-02-2008
20090068139LOOP PEPTIDE AND TGF alpha FOR STIMULATING STEM CELL PROLIFERATION AND MIGRATION - There is disclosed a novel genus of small peptides, smaller than human TGFα, identified as having TGFα biological activity and therefore being useful as pharmacologic agents. It is further disclosed that both TGFα and the genus of small peptides disclosed herein have therapeutic activity to stimulate hematopoiesis, e.g., in patients undergoing cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy, and also act as cytoprotective agents to protect patients undergoing cancer cytotoxic therapy from gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, such as mucositis, and otherwise to support the barrier function of the GI tract, such as when it is harmed by cytotoxic therapy.03-12-2009
