| 20110122907 | Edge Emitting Semiconductor Laser Having a Phase Structure - An edge emitting semiconductor laser includes a semiconductor body, which has a waveguide region. The waveguide region has an active layer for generating laser radiation. The active layer is arranged between a first waveguide layer and a second waveguide layer. The waveguide region is arranged between a first cladding layer and a second cladding layer. The semiconductor body has a main region and at least one phase structure region in which is formed a phase structure for the selection of lateral modes of the laser radiation emitted by the active layer. The phase structure region is arranged outside the waveguide region or formed by a region in which a dopant is introduced or an intermixing structure is produced. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100217556 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING, SECTION AFTER SECTION, A PARAMETER-DEPENDENT CORRECTION VALUE APPROXIMATION COURSE AND SENSOR ARRANGEMENT - An embodiment of a method for a determination, section after section, of a parameter-dependent correction value approximation course includes determining a first measurement signal value with a first parameter value associated with a sensor arrangement when the first parameter value fulfils a predetermined condition or a trigger condition is fulfilled, changing the first parameter value to obtain a second parameter value, determining a second signal value with the second parameter value and determining a second partial section of the correction value approximation course for a second parameter range based on a functional connection describing the second partial section, the first parameter value, the second parameter value, the first measurement signal value, the second measurement signal value and an initial correction value. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100198586 | AUDIO TRANSFORM CODING USING PITCH CORRECTION - A processed representation of an audio signal having a sequence of frames is generated by sampling the audio signal within first and second frames of the sequence of frames, the second frame following the first frame, the sampling using information on a pitch contour of the first and second frames to derive a first sampled representation. The audio signal is sampled within the second and third frames, the third frame following the second frame in the sequence of frames. The sampling uses the information on the pitch contour of the second frame and information on a pitch contour of the third frame to derive a second sampled representation. A first scaling window is derived for the first sampled representation, and a second scaling window is derived for the second sampled representation, the scaling windows depending on the samplings applied to derive the first sampled representations or the second sampled representation. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100040140 | VIDEO FRAME ENCODING AND DECODING - A video frame arithmetical context adaptive encoding and decoding scheme is presented which is based on the finding, that, for sake of a better definition of neighborhood between blocks of picture samples, i.e. the neighboring block which the syntax element to be coded or decoded relates to and the current block based on the attribute of which the assignment of a context model is conducted, and when the neighboring block lies beyond the borders or circumference of the current macroblock containing the current block, it is important to make the determination of the macroblock containing the neighboring block dependent upon as to whether the current macroblock pair region containing the current block is of a first or a second distribution type, i.e., frame or field coded. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090139690 | HEAT SINK AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HEAT SINK - A heat sink includes a base body of an electrically insulating material and one or several metallic molded parts having a mounting portion and a heat-transfer portion, wherein the heat-transfer portion is mechanically connected to the base body. The heat sink can be inserted on a printed circuit board having several heat sources that can be at different electrical potentials, wherein the mounting portions of the molded parts are soldered to respective heat sources or close to the respective heat sources. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090053465 | SCRATCH RESISTANT, REFLECTION REDUCING SURFACE HAVING ANTI-FOGGING PROPERTIES - An optical element or component having excellent anti-fog effects as well as excellent scratch resistance and/or reflection reducing effects and optionally also hydrophobic and/or oleophobic properties, and a method for producing such an optical element or component. The element or component includes, in the following order, a glass substrate, a water-absorbing first layer, and a second layer selected from (i) an anti-reflecting coating; a mirror coating and a hard layer; (ii) a compound and/or combination of a hard layers and anti-reflecting coatings; and (iii) a compound and/or combination of hard layers and mirror coating. Blind holes or bores are introduced into the second layer and the water-absorbing first layer with the holes opening out from the second layer and extending completely through the second layer, and at least partially through the water-absorbing first layer. | 02-26-2009 |
