20090068825 | IMPLEMENTATION OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT PHASE SWITCH LAYER FOR IMPROVED TEMPERATURE UNIFORMITY DURING ANNEALING - The present invention provides a method of annealing a semiconductor by applying a temperature-dependant phase switch layer to a semiconductor structure. The temperature-dependant phase switch layer changes phase from amorphous to crystalline at a predetermined temperature. When the semiconductor structure is annealed, electromagnetic radiation passes through the temperature-dependant phase switch layer before reaching the semiconductor structure. When a desired annealing temperature is reached the temperature-dependant phase switch layer substantially blocks the electromagnetic radiation from reaching the semiconductor structure. As a result, the semiconductor is annealed at a consistent temperature across the wafer. The temperature at which the temperature-dependant phase switch layer changes phase can be controlled by an ion implantation process. | 03-12-2009 |

During operation, forces and moments acting on the gearbox are measured at regular intervals and the model is used to continuously update a prediction of the total damage on each gearbox component. The probability of failure in a given time period is then calculated. An existing condition monitoring system approach such as vibration analysis may be used in parallel with the model-based diagnosis. The overall probability of failure for a required lifetime is calculated and, if necessary, operation is limited to provide a required probability of failure in a given time period. | 05-05-2011 |

20110216378 | Systems And Methods For Edge Detection During An Imaging Operation - Systems and methods systems and methods for edge detection during an imaging operation are disclosed. In an exemplary implementation, a method may include subdividing an imaging area into a plurality of border detection zones. The method may also include scanning the imaging area including media to be scanned to obtain optical data for each of the plurality of border detection zones. The method may also include identifying at least one edge of the media based on change in the optical data between directly adjacent border detection zones, where the change indicates detection of a moiré pattern. | 09-08-2011 |
20110235175 | POLARIZATION CONVERTING COLOR COMBINER - Optical elements, color combiners using the optical elements, and image projectors using the color combiners are described. The optical elements can be configured as color combiners that receive different wavelength spectrums of light and produce a combined light output that includes the different wavelength spectrums of light. In one aspect, the received light inputs are unpolarized, and the combined light output is polarized in a desired state. In one aspect, the received light inputs are unpolarized, and the combined light output is also unpolarized. The optical elements can be configured to minimize the passage of light which may be damaging to wavelength-sensitive components in the light combiner. Image projectors using the color combiners can include imaging modules that operate by reflecting or transmitting polarized light. | 09-29-2011 |

20130250570 | LED COLOR COMBINER - A light source combines colored light from different LED sources to provide white light output. Multiple LEDs emitting light at different peak wavelengths may be disposed on a flexible substrate, the LEDs being close to an aperture formed in the substrate. Multiple mirrors, including at least one dichroic mirror, are oriented to reflect light from the multiple LEDs into the aperture. The flexible substrate includes a dielectric layer having a cavity region and an adjacent neighboring region that is thicker than the cavity region. The aperture and the multiple LEDs are all disposed in the cavity region of the dielectric layer. An integrating rod may be coupled to the aperture to receive the reflected light from the multiple LEDs. | 09-26-2013 |

20130308617 | Continuous Virtual Private Local Area Network (LAN) Service (VPLS) Over Wireline and Wireless Networks - A mechanism is provided for enabling virtual private local area network (LAN) service (VPLS) service within a base station (NodeB/eNodeB). A wireless signal is received from a mobile device. The wireless signal is converted into one or more internet protocol (IP) packets. A VPLS virtual private network (VPN) multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) label is constructed in a header of each IP packet. An egress router is identified for the IP packets. A MPLS label of the egress router is constructed for MPLS routing. The MPLS label is added on top of the VPLS VPN MPLS label in the header of each IP packet. The one or more IP packets are then forwarded to at least one other router within a MPLS network. | 11-21-2013 |
