The pit may be filled with an insulating material, thereby increasing an equivalent surface resistance of the high resistivity silicon plate; or no insulating material is filled into the pit, that is, the pit remains a vacuum state or is only filled with air, which can increase the equivalent surface resistance of the high resistivity silicon plate as well. In such, an eddy current generated on a surface of the high resistivity silicon plate under the action of a radio frequency signal may be reduced. As a result, loss of the radio frequency signal is reduced and the linearity of the radio frequency signal is improved. | 06-26-2014 |

With effects of the metal layer which is applied with a RF signal or a superposed signal, and fixed charges in the BOX layer, an inversion layer may be formed at a surface of the non-doped polysilicon layer. Since carriers may easily recombine at the grain boundaries of polysilicon, eddy current generated on a surface of the high resistivity silicon base is reduced, loss of the RF signal is reduced, and linearity of the RF signal device is improved. | 07-31-2014 |

20130183231 | INTRODUCTION OF MESOPOROSITY INTO ZEOLITE MATERIALS WITH SEQUENTIAL ACID, SURFACTANT, AND BASE TREATMENT - Compositions and methods for introducing mesoporosity into zeolitic materials employing sequential acid, surfactant, and base treatments are disclosed herein. Mesopores can be introduced into zeolitic materials, such as zeolites, by treatment with an acid and surfactant followed by treatment with a base. The resulting mesoporous zeolitic materials can have a total 20 to 135 Å diameter mesopore volume of at least 0.05 cc/g. Additionally, the resulting mesoporous zeolitic materials can have a total 0 to 20 Å micropore volume of at least 0.10 cc/g. | 07-18-2013 |

20090114873 | DIAPHRAGM FOR USE WITH CONTROL VALVES - A diaphragm for use with a valve includes a body having a central portion including an outer central portion and offset by an angled portion from an outer portion. The central portion is to be disposed at a position adjacent a valve seat and displaced into engagement with the valve seat to affect fluid flow. The body deforms substantially at the outer central portion and angled portion during displacement of the central portion by the valve and reacts substantially unilaterally to prevent vibration of the diaphragm during fluid flow past the valve seat. | 05-07-2009 |
20140084200 | FLUID CONTROL VALVE HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE VALVE STEM AND PISTON ASSEMBLY - Fluid control valves having adjustable valve stem and piston assembly are described herein. An example fluid control valve includes a piston to control a flow of fluid through a valve body, a bonnet with a threaded bore coupled to a bonnet yoke to be coupled to the valve body and a housing having a first portion to pivotally mount a roller assembly to move the piston and a second elongated portion with a threaded outer surface to couple to the threaded bore of the bonnet. A valve stem moves through the housing to control the movement of the piston. | 03-27-2014 |

20090124382 | Interactive image projection system and method - An interactive image projection system and method provides for projection of an interactive image on a projection surface. A copy of the image is broadcast by two projectors onto the projection surface in registration with one another to form a single projection copy on the surface. Sensors on the surface detect a position on the projection surface of an object manipulatable by a user and a computing device connected to the object generates an output in response thereto. The projectors are configured such that any shadow cast by the object in the path of a projection from one projector is at least partially eliminated by the projection of the other projector. | 05-14-2009 |
