| 20100244956 | Current control mechanism for low voltage applications - A current control mechanism for use in low power consumption circuits with limited headroom includes a differential transistor pair from whose collectors a current output is taken. The current output is a function of a reference voltage provided at bases of a reference transistor pair having emitters that are coupled to the bases of the differential pair. The reference voltage is controlled by a pair of control transistors that control current through a load. A pair of tracking transistors can be provided to track supply voltage. A single-ended topology can also be implemented. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100111465 | INTRINSICALLY LOW RESISTIVITY HYBRID SOL-GEL POLYMER CLADS AND ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICES MADE THEREFROM - A low resistivity hybrid organic-inorganic material may include a proportion of charge traps including a trap element indirectly covalently bonded to a donor or acceptor element. The trap element may include tin. The donor or acceptor element may include indium and/or antimony. Bonding includes cross-linking via oxygen bonds and via organic cross-linkers. The material may be formed as a hybrid sol-gel. The material may have optical transmission and refractive index characteristics. The material may be formed as optical cladding proximal to a non-linear optical layer, and may form a portion of a second order nonlinear optical device. The second order nonlinear optical device may include and electro-optic device including an organic chromophore-loaded modulation layer. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100074584 | ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MAKING LOW RESISTIVITY HYBRID POLYMER CLADS FOR AN ELECTRO-OPTIC DEVICE - A low resistivity hybrid optical cladding may be formed from a sol-gel doped with an inorganic salt such as lithium perchlorate. An electro-optic device may be formed by poling an organic chromophore-loaded modulation layer through at least one layer of the low resistivity hybrid optical cladding. | 03-25-2010 |
