Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100045005THREE DOOR AIR BAG CHUTE - A combination positionable in an interior of a motor vehicle is disclosed herein. The combination includes an instrument panel having a body extending along a lateral axis between an outboard side and an inboard side. The body has an outwardly-facing surface for display in a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle and an inwardly-facing surface opposite the outwardly-facing surface. The combination also includes a score pattern formed in the inwardly-facing surface and defining three regions. Each region is less than fully surrounded by score lines. The combination also includes an inflatable restraint disposed adjacent the inwardly-facing surface at the score pattern. The inflatable restraint is operable to burst through the body upon engagement and thereby convert the three regions into first and second and third doors in the body. The first door is operable to pivot open along a first axis substantially parallel to the lateral axis and the second and third doors are operable to pivot open along respective second and third axes each being substantially transverse to the lateral axis. The combination also includes a vehicle seat operable for adjustable movement relative to the instrument panel. The vehicle seat and the score pattern are positionable relative to one another such that none of the first and second and third doors contact a head of an out-of-position six-year-old anthropomorphic dummy during testing.02-25-2010

20100095898MANUAL LITTER BOX - A manual litter box is disclosed which provides various advantages over the prior art. In particular, in one embodiment, the manual litter box is configured to use a disposable cartridge which may include a litter compartment and a waste compartment. In another embodiment, the cartridge may be non-compartmentalized. The cartridge may be disposable, thus eliminating the need for the user to clean the litter tray and handle heavy litter containers. In other embodiments, the system includes a rake assembly configured with a manual shuttle chassis drive assembly that is protected from contamination. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the manual litter box is configured to be used with all types of litter including crystal type litter.04-22-2010

20090179677CIRCUIT FOR GENERATING OVERLAPPING SIGNALS - A circuit for generating overlapping signals from a single input signal includes a pair of complementary MOS transistors. The complementary MOS transistors have interconnected gates and are connected in series between opposite supply terminals by a chain of successive reciprocal delay stages. The input signal is applied to the interconnected gates, and the drains of the MOS transistors and taps between successive delay stages each form a node that provides one of the overlapping signals.07-16-2009

20100148875 CIRCUIT FOR COMPENSATION OF LEAKAGE CURRENT-INDUCED OFFSET IN A SINGLE-ENDED OP-AMP - An electronic device includes an operational amplifier, with the operational amplifier having an amplifier input stage coupled with a first output node to an amplifier output stage. A compensation capacitance is connected between an output node of the amplifier output stage and the first output node of the amplifier input stage, thereby operating as a compensator for stabilizing the operational amplifier. The compensation capacitance provides a parasitic diode drawing a first leakage current from the first output node of the amplifier input stage, a leakage current compensation circuit being coupled to the first output node of the amplifier input stage and coupled to a second output node of the amplifier input stage for drawing a first current from the first output node and a second current from the second output node. The leakage current compensation circuit is adapted such that the second current is greater than the first current by an amount corresponding to the first leakage current.06-17-2010

20090322292LINEAR VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH ACCURATE OPEN LOAD DETECTION - A linear voltage regulator is provided which has a pair of complementary power transistors connected “back to back” in series between a voltage input and a voltage output. A current sense circuit is connected in parallel across one of the power transistors, such as the one connected to the voltage input. The current sense circuit includes a current sense resistor. A reference current path has a reference resistor connected in series with a current sink between the voltage input and a reference terminal, usually ground. A comparator has a first input connected to a terminal of the current sense resistor and a second input connected to a node between the reference resistor and the current sink. The comparator compares the voltage drop across the current sense resistor with the constant voltage drop across the reference resistor and provides an output signal indicative of an open load condition when the voltage drop across the current sensor falls below that of across the reference resistor. As long as the voltage drop in the current sense circuit remains small, i.e. less than app. 0.7V, the current flowing through the bulk diode of the power transistor remains negligible and the entire output current flows through the current sense circuit. For higher output currents the voltage drop across the current sense circuit is limited by the parallel bulk diode of the power transistor. With this approach, the current sense resistor can be dimensioned to generate a relatively high voltage drop of e.g. 100 mV, and a high accuracy of open load detection is achieved without the requirement for a high precision comparator.12-31-2009
20100264981CHARGE PUMP WITH SELF-TIMING AND METHOD - With conventional charge pumps, significant noise is present due at least in part to large changes in the supply current. To combat this problem, a charge pump is provided that includes a number of stages. These stages are coupled to receive periodic alternating voltages having a phase shift with respect to each other so that the changes in the supply current are reduced, which reduces noise.10-21-2010

20080229704ARCHITECTURAL MEMBRANE STRUCTURES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THEM - An architectural membrane structure preferably includes an aerogel material disposed, for example, between two outer layers. The aerogel can be in monolithic or granular form or can be present in an aerogel composite. A method for manufacturing an architectural membrane structure includes securing an insert, e.g., an aerogel blanket, composite or granular aerogel, between a first and second layer. The architectural membrane structure can be used as a tensioned panel in envelopes such as roofing, overhangs, canopies or in other architectural or structural fabric applications.09-25-2008
