| 20150059463 | PRESSURE BALANCED FLOW THROUGH LOAD MEASUREMENT - A technique facilitates measuring loads while compensating for the effects of differential pressure. The technique utilizes a load cell comprising a chassis and a sensing element mounted on the chassis. A housing encloses the sensing element in a chamber formed between the chassis and the housing. The housing is connected to the chassis in a manner to transfer loading, e.g. compressive, tensile, and/or torque loading. A pressure compensating piston is positioned within an interior of the chassis and the housing. A plurality of seal points is located in a manner which isolates the sensing element from the effects of differential pressures between the interior and an exterior of the load cell. | 03-05-2015 |
| 20150130627 | Intervention Operations With High Rate Telemetry - A technique facilitates an improved operation of a tool, such as a downhole tool. The tool is operated in a manner which provides a dynamic or cyclical loading. The dynamic or cyclical loading of the tool is sampled by a suitable sensing system at a frequency greater than the frequency of the dynamic or cyclical loading to collect detailed data on the dynamic or cyclical loading. The data is used to adjust the tool in a manner which improves operation of the tool. One technique for adjusting the tool is changing the dynamic or cyclical loading of the tool by adjusting the frequency of the dynamic or cyclical loading. | 05-14-2015 |

The support structure has a first thickness and a first outer sidewall surface that is not parallel with the substrate. The first outer sidewall surface has a first minimum refractive index. A first anti-reflective layer is formed outwardly from the support structure and outwardly from the substrate. A second anti-reflective layer is formed outwardly from the first anti-reflective layer. The first and second anti-reflective layers each includes respective compounds of at least two elements selected from the group consisting of: silicon; nitrogen; and oxygen. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090280602 | DOUBLE WAFER CARRIER PROCESS FOR CREATING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DIE WITH THROUGH-SILICON VIAS AND MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS PROTECTED BY A HERMETIC CAVITY CREATED AT THE WAFER LEVEL - A TSV-MEMS packaging process is provided. The process includes forming TSVs in the front side of the product wafer, and attaching a first carrier to the front side of the product wafer, subsequent to forming TSVs. The process further includes thinning the back side of the product wafer to expose TSV tips, detaching the first carrier from the front side of the product wafer, and transferring the thinned wafer to a second carrier with back side adhered to the second wafer carrier. Semiconductor components are added to the front side of the product wafer, followed by forming a hermetic cavity over the added semiconductor components, and detaching the second carrier from the back side of the product wafer. Wafer level processing continues after detaching the second carrier. | 11-12-2009 |
