20110257954 | Versatile Method and Tool for Simulation of Aged Transistors - In an embodiment, an aging analysis tool may be configured to identify transistors that are expected to experience aging effects according to worst case stress vectors and/or designer identified worst case conditions. The aging analysis tool may modify a representation of the circuit (e.g. a netlist), replacing the identified transistors with aged transistors (e.g. by modifying parameters of the transistors in the netlist). The aging analysis tool may process the modified netlist over a range of conditions at which the circuit is expected to operate, to ensure that the design meets specifications after aging. The process may be repeated until the aged design meets specifications (with circuit modifications made by the designer to improve the design). | 10-20-2011 |

20080206922 | Methods for Fabricating Multi-Terminal Phase Change Devices - Phase change devices, and particularly multi-terminal phase change devices, include first and second active terminals bridged together by a phase-change material whose conductivity can be modified in accordance with a control signal applied to a control electrode. This structure allows an application in which an electrical connection can be created between the two active terminals, with the control of the connection being effected using a separate terminal or terminals. Accordingly, the resistance of the heater element can be increased independently from the resistance of the path between the two active terminals. This allows the use of smaller heater elements thus requiring less current to create the same amount of Joule heating per unit area. The resistance of the heating element does not impact the total resistance of the phase change device. The programming control can be placed outside of the main signal path through the phase change device, reducing the impact of the associated capacitance and resistance of the device. | 08-28-2008 |

20080209635 | System and Method for Maintaining Air Inflatable Mattress Configuration - A system and method for maintaining an air inflation mattress configuration sufficient for patient support and comfort. Infrared illumination levels are measured within individual or groups of inflated mattress chambers. A staggered approach to illumination monitoring of chambers or sections to eliminate crosstalk between the infrared sensors is carried out. Distributed microprocessor controllers established in a network configuration utilizing controller network protocols reduces the wiring and connections necessary for the assembled system. Various mattress cushion construction techniques, such as sewing and or RF welding methods, are used for the creation of individual chambers utilizing specific types of IR translucent, transparent or reflective materials. The construction of the cushions and bladders in the system includes the use of various types of fabrics with low to high air loss qualities as required. The overall mattress assembly, including the control systems and the methodologies associated with such control systems, provide a unique approach to the maintenance of a consistently comfortable patient support surface. The use of a handheld unit for both programming the system and downloading information about the operation of the system is also anticipated. The specific cushion construction designs associated with the head, body, and foot cushion components of the mattress are tailored to operate specifically with the control capabilities (sensors and air flow regulators) of the invention. | 09-04-2008 |
