U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Arizona (July 4)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Arizona. *** Pan Jit Americas Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 3 -- Pan Jit Americas, Tempe, Ariz., has been assigned a patent (7,968,907) developed by George Templeton, Tempe, Ariz., and James Washburn, Scottsdale, Ariz., for a "low capacitance over-voltage protection thyristor device." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An over-voltage protection thyristor has reduced junction capacitance making it suitable for use in high bandwidth applications. The reduced capacitance is achieved through the introduction of a deep base region. The deep base region has a graded doping concentration which reduces with depth into the substrate. The thyristor is useful for protecting sensitive electrical equipment from transient surges." The patent application was filed on Dec. 9, 2008 (12/314,375).

Koning, Chandler, Ariz., and Ashay Dani, Chandler, Ariz., for a "polymer matrices for polymer solder hybrid materials." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Embodiments of the present invention provide various polymeric matrices that may be used as a binder matrix for polymer solder hybrid thermal interface materials. In alternative embodiments the binder matrix material may be phophozene, perfluoro ether, polyether, or urethane. For one embodiment, the binder matrix is selected to provide improved adhesion to a variety of interfaces. For an alternative embodiment the binder matrix is selected to provide low contact resistance. In alternative embodiments, polymeric materials containing fusible and non-fusible particles may be used in application where heat removal is desired and is not restricted to thermal interface materials for microelectronic devices." The patent application was filed on July 6, 2007 (11/825,400).

The co-inventors are Kenneth D. Montgomery, Roslyn, N.Y., Derek J. Harper, Scottsdale, Ariz., Kevin N. Baird, Phoenix, Joe P. Kovalski, Ventura, Calif., Joanne Kovalski, Ventura, Calif., and David G. Spilka, Phoenix. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A material fixation system is particularly adapted to improve the tendon-to-bone fixation of hamstring autografts, as well as other soft tissue ACL reconstruction techniques. The system is easy to use, requires no additional accessories, uses only a single drill hole, and can be implanted by one person. Additionally, it replicates the native ACL by compressing the tendons against the aperture of the tibial tunnel, which leads to a shorter graft and increased graft stiffness. It is adapted to accommodate single or double tendon bundle autografts or allografts. It also provides pull out strength measured to be greater than 1000 N." The patent application was filed on March 20, 2007 (11/725,981). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7,967,861.PN.&OS=PN/7,967,861&RS=PN/7,967,861 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Jaya Anand. *** C.R. Bard Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- C.R. Bard, Murray Hill, N.J., has been assigned a patent (7,967,838) developed by four co-inventors for a "removable embolus blood clot filter." The co-inventors are Andrzej J. Chanduszko, Chandler, Ariz., Robert M. Carr Jr., Paradise Valley, Ariz., John D. McDermott, Chandler, Ariz., and John A. Kaufman, Lake Oswego, Ariz. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A removable blood clot filter includes a number of locator members and anchor members disposed radially and extending angularly downward from a hub. The locator members include a number of linear portions having distinct axes configured to place a tip portion approximately parallel to the walls of a blood vessel when implanted and to apply sufficient force to the vessel walls to position the filter near the vessel centerline. The anchor members each include a hook configured to penetrate the vessel wall to prevent longitudinal movement due to blood flow. The hooks may have a cross section sized to allow for a larger radius of curvature under strain so that the filter can be removed without damaging the vessel wall." The patent application was filed on May 9, 2006 (11/429,975). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7,967,838&OS=7,967,838&RS=7,967,838 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Arizona Inventors Develop Patent for Captured Screw Assembly ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- Robert L. Coope, Phoenix, and Gordon R. Coope, Glendale, Ariz., have developed a patent (7,967,538) for a captured screw assembly. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A captured screw assembly is disclosed for locating a fixture plate relative to a base plate. The assembly includes a screw with a head having a diameter larger than the threaded body to form a shoulder. A bushing is frictionally engaged in an opening in the fixture plate and includes a central opening extending through the bushing and the fixture plate. The screw extends through the central opening of the bushing and threadedly engages a threaded hole in the base plate to accurately position the fixture plate relative to the base plate. The shoulder of the screw and a shoulder in the central opening of the bushing abut when the screw is fully engaged in the threaded hole. The screw and bushing include a capture feature formed therebetween to retain the screw within the bushing when the screw is disengaged from the threaded hole." The patent application was filed on June 19, 2007 (11/765,284). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7,967,538.PN.&OS=PN/7,967,538&RS=PN/7,967,538 Written by Ankita Das; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Arizona Inventors Develops Patent for Method and Apparatus for Transferring ipette Tips ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- Joe Stockwell, Scottsdale, Ariz., has developed a patent (7,968,056) for a "method and apparatus for transferring pipette tips." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and apparatus for transferring pipette tips is presented which includes first and second members that are assembled and interlocked with one another to move the apparatus into locked and unlocked positions. The first member includes plugs for retaining the large diameter end of pipette tips and the second member includes small projections capable of contacting an outer surface of the pipette tips while they are positioned on the plugs of the first member to lock the pipette tips in place for transfer."

The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7968056.PN.&OS=PN/7968056&RS=PN/7968056 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Honeywell International Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 4 -- Honeywell International, Morristown, N.J., has been assigned a patent (7,967,554) developed by Thomas Bremer, Scottsdale, Ariz., for a "turbine cooling air centrifugal particle separator." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A centrifugal particle separator removes particles such as dust particles from a compressed airflow prior to reaching and cooling the turbine blades of a turbine engine. A particle separator structure defines a plurality of inward-facing pockets which are separated by pocket dividers defining an airflow path having a diameter that decreases from the entrance to the exit. A centrifugal force created by the rotating centrifugal particle separator assembly causes particles to collect within the plurality of pockets and the remaining compressed air is provided to cool the turbine blades. The decreasing diameter of the airflow path forces the airflow with particles to accelerate to a rotational velocity greater than that of the rotating particle separator by conservation of momentum." The patent application was filed on June 18, 2007 (11/764,513). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=7,967,554.PN.&OS=PN/7,967,554&RS=PN/7,967,554 Written by Ankita Das; edited by Jaya Anand.
