20130328714 | TARGET-TRACKING RADAR AND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO FLUCTUATIONS IN TARGET SNR - Embodiments of a target-tracking radar and methods for responding to fluctuations in target SNR are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the target-tracking radar may be configured to determine whether a target can be considered a point target based on the SNR of received signals and off-boresight error estimates. Measurement-variance estimates generated from the SNR are provided to a target-state estimator when the target is determined to be a point target. When the target is determined not to be a point target, the measurement-variance estimates generated from SNR are not used by the target-state estimator. This may allow targets to be engaged at increased range. | 12-12-2013 |

The target classifier is configured to compare a total epsilon measurement with target glint information to determine whether to the target being tracked corresponds to an intended target type. Based on the comparison, the target classifier may cause target tracking circuitry of a target-tracking radar to either continue tracking the target or break-off from tracking the target. Glint of different target types may be characterized at different ranges and the target's glint characteristics may be used to distinguish intended from non-intended targets. Accordingly, intended targets such as incoming artillery may be distinguished from non-intended targets such as aircraft to help prevent countermeasures from being launched against non-intended targets. | 12-26-2013 |

The extraction includes identifying an initial detection by comparing the spectral content of a subject time-frequency slice with an initial detection threshold calculated from a set of time-frequency slices, and determining the spectral detection density as a function of a number of identified initial detections and number of compared time-frequency slices. Based on the spectral detection density of the noisy signal, the chirp detecting engine detects multiple channel-induced and target-induced chirps present in the noisy signal and the target classifying engine classifies a target from the noisy signal. | 03-13-2014 |

20120145605 | COLLECTORS FOR FLOTATION OF MOLYBDENUM-CONTAINING ORES - The invention is directed to the use of non-sulfur containing compounds and their derivatives as collectors in the froth flotation of particular mineral sulfide and metallic compounds, particularly molybdenum-containing compounds. The non-sulfur containing compounds and their derivatives may be from a natural source or synthetic. The non-sulfur containing compounds are typically compatible with common frothers. The non-sulfur containing compounds may be used singularly, with one or more derivatives, or in any combination with each other and/or known commercial sulfur containing collectors. | 06-14-2012 |

20090035939 | FABRICATION METHOD TO MINIMIZE BALLAST LAYER DEFECTS - A method for minimizing fabrication defects in ballast contact to a conductor in monolithically integrated semiconductor devices includes forming a sloping sidewall ( | 02-05-2009 |
20110273394 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR A TRANSPARENT AND FLEXIBLE FORCE-SENSITIVE TOUCH PANEL - Methods and apparatus are provided for a transparent and flexible pressure-sensing touch panel. The touch panel includes a flexible and substantially transparent composite layer (e.g., a plurality of conductive particles within a polymeric matrix) such that the resistivity of the composite layer is a function of applied force, and such that the touch panel may be manipulated to conform to a non-planar surface, such as a non-planar display screen. | 11-10-2011 |
20120026124 | TOUCH SCREEN RENDERING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A touch-screen display apparatus, the apparatus may include first and second sheets having opposed major surfaces and a size and shape defined by a periphery. The periphery may be defined by opposed ends and opposed edges. The first and second sheets may each have a conductive pattern including a pair of opposed busbars and a plurality of traces electrically coupled to, and extending between, corresponding pairs of opposed busbars. The transparent force sensing (TFS) sheet may have opposed major surfaces and a variable resistance which is related to a force exerted upon one or more of its major surfaces. The TFS sheet may be situated between the first and second sheets. The apparatus may also include one or more separation portions situated between the TFS sheet and the first or second sheet to bias the TFS sheet apart from the first or second sheet. | 02-02-2012 |

20090008748 | ULTRA-THIN DIE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING SAME - In accordance with a specific embodiment, a method of processing a semiconductor substrate is disclosed whereby the substrate is thinned, and the dice formed on the substrate are singulated by a common process. Trench regions are formed on a backside of the substrate. An isotropic etch of the backside results in a thinning of the substrate while maintaining the depth of the trenches, thereby facilitating singulation of the die. | 01-08-2009 |

20150276798 | THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL HANDLING FOR THERMAL CONTROL OF AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT UNDER TEST - Thermal interface material handing is described for thermal control of an electronic component under test. In one example, a thermal control unit is adapted to control the temperature of at least a portion of an electronic component during testing. A pedestal between the thermal control unit and the electronic component conducts heat from the electronic component to the thermal head. A conduit extends through a portion of the pedestal, to permit the flow of a liquid thermal interface material from an external source to a space between the pedestal and the electronic component. The liquid thermal interface material improves heat conduction between the electronic component and the pedestal. An elastomeric seal between the electronic device and the pedestal constrains the thermal interface fluid within the space between the electronic component and the pedestal. | 10-01-2015 |
