20080203546QUAD FLAT NO-LEAD CHIP CARRIER WITH STAND-OFF - A QFN package with improved joint solder thickness for improved second level attachment fatigue life. The copper leadframe of a QFN chip carrier is provided with rounded protrusions in both the chip attach pad region and the surrounding lead regions before second level attachment. The rounded stand-off protrusions are formed from the copper itself of the copper of the leadframe. This may be achieved by punching dimples into one surface of the copper plate of the leadframe before plating to form protrusions on the opposing surface. This method of forming the rounded protrusions simplifies the process of forming stand-offs. The protrusions provide a structure that increases wetting area and allows the use of a larger quantity of solder for increased solder joint thickness and better die paddle solder joint area coverage. As a result of the increased solder joint thickness, second level fatigue life is significantly improved. As a result of the improved die paddle solder joint area coverage, improved thermal performance of the chip carrier is also significantly improved.08-28-2008

20100016931Method of Reducing Cholesterol Using Laser Energy - The present invention is a treatment for reducing serum cholesterol levels. The method involves analyzing a patient's lipid levels to determine a therapeutically sufficient amount of laser energy to apply to reduce a patient's LDL level while preserving his or her HDL level. The therapeutically sufficient amount of laser energy is determined by conducting a standard blood draw from the patient, conducting a lipid panel, and analyzing the results. In the preferred embodiment, a laser having a wavelength of about 635 nm is used to apply a therapeutic amount of laser energy of approximately 6.6 J/cm01-21-2010
20110087312Method for Treatment of Diabetes and Prediabetes with Low-Level Laser Therapy - Low-level laser therapy is applied externally through the skin of the patient to targeted areas of a of a patient's body to treat diabetes or prediabetes. A patient is first diagnosed with diabetes or prediabetes, preferably by blood draws that measure insulin, A1C, or glucose levels. A therapeutic amount of laser energy to apply is determined from a patient's biological factors such as body mass index. The therapeutic amount of laser energy is applied one or more times over a two week time period. The patient is then retested for diabetes or prediabetes. If necessary, a new therapeutic amount of laser energy is determined according to any changes in the patient's diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis and any changes in the patient's biological factors. Adjusted treatments with low-level laser energy continue until the diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis is removed.04-14-2011
20110224759Fungal Infection Therapy with Low Level Laser - Methods for treating fungal infections of the hand or foot use applications of low level laser energy to the infected area to inhibit fungal growth. A laser device is used to produce one or more low-level laser beams, typically in the range of 400-800 nm emanated at a power of less than 1 watt. The laser light is scanned across the infected area for a predetermined duration. Preferably, the duration is between about 10 and 30 minutes, so that at least 0.5 joules of laser energy is applied. Preferably, about 10 joules of laser energy is applied. The application may be repeated, and is preferably repeated once, about five weeks after the first application. A topical medication, such as an antifungal cream, may be used in conjunction with the laser light to speed up fungal removal.09-15-2011

20100196497Method of Treating Tissue Using Platelet-Rich Plasma in Combination with Low-Level Laser Therapy - This invention is a method of treating a patient's injured tissue by applying platelet-rich plasma and laser energy to the injured tissue. The applied energy is low-level, and the patient feels no sensation of the low-level laser energy being applied. The laser energy can be applied before, after, or during the platelet-rich plasma application, or any combination thereof. Additional laser therapy may be applied over the entire extremity containing the injury, any non-injured adjacent tissue, as well as to the patient's entire body for stimulation of other body systems. Additionally, laser energy can be applied to the platelet-rich plasma before the platelet-rich plasma is applied to the patient.08-05-2010
20110295187Fat Reduction Using External Laser Radiation and Niacin - The present invention is a non-invasive method for reducing fat or cellulite in a patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of niacin and applying laser energy to targeted external regions of a patient's body. The present method helps create smooth contours.12-01-2011

20100119447Radiolabeled lymphatic staining agents and methods for making - A radiolabeled lymphatic staining agent is mixed on site with a much larger amount, on a weight basis, of a non-radiolabeled lymphatic staining agent to form an injectable radiolabeled lymphatic staining agent suitable for surgical use in humans. Preferably, the radiolabel is I-125, because it has a 60-day half-life which enables it to be made off-site. The preferred radiolabeled lymphatic staining agent is iodinated methylene blue, because it can be mixed with a range of non-radioactive lymphatic staining agents, for example isosulfan blue, methylene blue, patent blue, and patent blue V, to provide the injected agent with sufficient radioactivity to enable machine detection. A method for making radioiodinated methylene blue is also disclosed.05-13-2010
