20110100430 | Hybrid photovoltaic and thermionic energy converter - The current invention uses a combination of technologies from dye-sensitized solar cells, and from thermionic generators, to form a unique, efficient, broad spectrum solar radiation to electric power converter. Light passing through the cell first passes through a dye-sensitized matrix of nanoporous semiconductor. Light within the absorption spectrum of the dye is absorbed and converted into electrons which are injected into the conduction band of the semiconductor matrix. Light, which is not absorbed by the dye, passes on to cathode. The cathode is heated upon absorbing the incoming radiation. At a temperature dependent on the work function of the cathode, the cathode emits electrons thermionically, thereby cooling the cathode. These electrons replenish the electrons in the dye, thus completing the flow of current between cathode and anode. The hot cathode is thermally isolated from portions of the device at ambient temperature, thereby minimizing parasitic thermal loss. The device produces electricity similar to a two junction photovoltaic cell in that the anode is added to the cathode voltage. | 05-05-2011 |

To offset the problem, weather equipment can be used, but the weather equipment is prone to noise interference with existing aircraft equipment. By effectively positioning the weather equipment, the present invention solves the noise interference problem. In particular, the process detects an environment event, using weather equipment, on the subject aircraft. Next, the system identifies an origination point of noise, resulting from the detected environment event, in internal aircraft equipment. After identifying the origination point of the noise, the system makes a measurement to determine if the noise is interfering with a signal of the internal aircraft equipment. If interference exists, an operator cancels the noise and adjusts the location of the weather equipment in an external surface of the subject aircraft in such a manner as to provide an interference free environment for the internal aircraft equipment. | 07-02-2009 |

20090049887 | Sensor including dual range ASIC - A sensor incorporates a dual range ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) for accurately sensing and measuring sensor input over extensive range along with an improved resolution. The sensor can incorporate an ASIC utilizing signals from a MEMS-based piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge. Signals can also come from capacitive pressure measurement sources. The signals can be converted to digital bit counts where calibration coefficients can be implemented to achieve high precision. The calibration coefficients corresponding to bit counts can be compared with transition points that are recorded into ASIC for effectively distinguishing different sensor ranges. The transition points can be stored in an EEPROM fabricated to suit ASIC applications. | 02-26-2009 |
