20100189991 | MACROPOROUS CARBON NANOFOAM COMPOSITES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A method is disclosed to fabricate carbon foams comprising a bicontinuous network of disordered or irregular macropores that are three-dimensionally interconnected via nanoscopic carbon walls. The method accounts for (1) the importance of wetting (i.e., matching the surface energies of fiber to sol) and (2) the viscosity of the microheterogeneous fluid filling the voids in the carbon paper. Carbon fiber papers are mildly oxidized by plasma etching, which greatly enhances the uniform uptake of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) mixtures. The RF solutions are oligomerized prior to infiltration and are cured into continuous polymeric webs that hang supported between adjacent carbon fibers; the polymer-fiber composites are pyrolyzed and retain a sponge-like morphology with 10-1000-nm pores and integrated electronic pathways | 07-29-2010 |

The present invention utilizes a digital control element, such as a complex programmable logic device (CPLD) or field programmable gate array (FPGA), to monitor the frequency offset of a DCO with respect to one or more timing module (TM) references. The frequency offset is measured by aligning the phase of a DCO feedback divider to the phase of a reference divider, and then counting the number of pulses in the DCO between the falling edges of the feedback to determine a frequency error. Falling edge detection is used to determine a sign of the error. The digital control element then calculates a frequency correction based on a linear scaling factor to send a new control word to the DCO to reduce the frequency error. | 01-28-2010 |

20140361705 | Leading-Edge Phase-Cut Dimmer Detector - Circuits and methods for detecting the presence of a leading-edge phase-cut dimmer. The dimmer detector comprises an edge detector, a pulse stretcher and a filter. The edge detector detects whether an input signal has a rapidly rising edge and generates an output signal pulse if a rapidly rising edge is detected. If the edge detector outputs a signal pulse, the pulse stretcher generates a stretched pulse having a duration that is longer than the signal pulse received from the edge detector. The filter produces a dimmer detect signal that indicates whether a leading-edge phase-cut dimmer is detected. If the pulse stretcher output signal comprises at least a predetermined number of stretched pulses within a predetermined amount of time, the dimmer signal signals the presence of a leading-edge phase-cut dimmer. | 12-11-2014 |

20110084622 | DIMMER DECODER WITH LOW DUTY CYCLE HANDLING FOR USE WITH LED DRIVERS - A method includes receiving a sense signal having multiple pulses, where the sense signal is based on an output of a dimmer. The method also includes, for each of multiple sampling periods, (i) identifying a pulse duty cycle by sampling at least one pulse in the sense signal and calculating a duty cycle of the at least one pulse and (ii) generating an output value identifying a duty cycle for driving one or more LEDs. The output value is based on the pulse duty cycle. The method further includes generating a holding current for the dimmer (i) during the sampling of the at least one pulse in at least one of the sampling periods and (ii) when the pulse duty cycle is less than a specified threshold. The holding current can be applied continuously when the pulse duty cycle is less than the specified threshold (such as 15%). | 04-14-2011 |
20110084623 | Dimmer decoder with adjustable filter for use with led drivers - A method includes receiving a sense signal having multiple pulses, where the sense signal is based on an output of a dimmer.

Systems may include a series of turning guides spaced apart along the first and second precursor zones for supporting the substrate along an undulating transport path. As the substrate traverses back and forth between the first and second precursor zones and through the third precursor zone, it passes through a first series of flow-restricting passageways of a first isolation region interposed between the first and third precursor zones and a second series of flow-restricting passageways of a second isolation region interposed between the second and third precursor zones. | 07-29-2010 |
20100214526 | TOOL FOR USE IN AFFIXING AN OPTICAL COMPONENT TO A LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) - A tool for use in affixing an optical component, such as glass, to a liquid crystal display (LCD) using a silicone gel mixture of dimethyl siloxane and a vinyl terminated dimethyl polymer includes, in one embodiment, a unitary metallic platen that is shaped to define a central window. A narrow shelf is defined around the outer periphery of the central window, the shelf serving to support the optical component during the application of the silicone gel thereon. A upwardly extending partition is formed onto the top surface of the platen around the shelf, the partition serving, among other things, to retain the optical component fixed in place on the platen during the assembly process. A plurality of identical, spaced apart, upwardly extending standoffs are formed onto the free end of the partition and are designed to support the LCD a fixed distance away from the optical component. In this manner, it is to be understood that the plurality of standoffs ensure that the layer of silicone gel deposited between the optical component and the LCD is uniform in thickness to optimize performance. | 08-26-2010 |
20110159204 | OXYGEN RADICAL GENERATION FOR RADICAL-ENHANCED THIN FILM DEPOSITION - A method of radical-enhanced atomic layer deposition (REALD) involves alternating exposure of a substrate to a first precursor gas and to radicals, such as monatomic oxygen radicals (O•), generated from an oxygen-containing second precursor gas, while maintaining spatial or temporal separation of the radicals and the first precursor gas. Simplified reactor designs and process control are possible when the first and second precursor gases are nonreactive under normal processing conditions and can therefore be allowed to mix after the radicals recombine or otherwise abate.
