Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090230516PIN Diode with Improved Power Limiting - A PIN diode comprising an N-type substrate comprising a cathode of the PIN diode and having an intrinsic layer disposed upon the N-type substrate and having a top surface a P-type material disposed upon the top surface of the intrinsic layer comprising an anode of the PIN diode and a N-type material disposed over the sidewall of the cathode and over the sidewall and a portion of the top surface of the intrinsic material that is not occupied by the anode, wherein a horizontal gap is defined between the anode and the cathode through the intrinsic material, the gap being variable in width and/or the horizontal gap is less than the thickness of the intrinsic layer.09-17-2009

20110260983PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes determining first respective values representative of forces applied by a plurality of actuators to a touch-sensitive input device of an electronic device, controlling the actuators to cause the actuators to change the forces applied to the touch-sensitive input device, determining second respective values representative of the forces applied by the actuators to the touch-sensitive input device, and determining when there is a fault based on a change from the first respective values to the second respective values.10-27-2011

20080309455SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOVEABLE BARRIER OPERATOR - In some of these approaches, a first fingerprint of a first user is stored in a memory and the transmission of an activation code is authorized. Subsequently, the first fingerprint is re-sensed and authenticated and a second fingerprint of a second user is responsively sensed and stored. The activation code is transmitted to the moveable barrier operator upon subsequent authenticating of the second fingerprint. Subsequently, the second fingerprint is re-sensed and authenticated and a third fingerprint of a third user is responsively sensed and stored. The activation code is transmitted to the moveable barrier operator upon subsequent authenticating of the third fingerprint.12-18-2008
20080310689SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOVEABLE BARRIER OPERATOR - The presence of a first human fingerprint at the fingerprint scanner. The first human fingerprint is analyzed to determine whether the first human fingerprint has been previously learned by the barrier movement operator. When the first human fingerprint is determined to be previously learned, a first command is sent to actuate a moveable barrier operator. Within a predetermined time period after the first human fingerprint has been determined to be previously learned, the presence of a second human fingerprint is sensed at the fingerprint scanner. Without analyzing the second fingerprint, a second command is sent to actuate the moveable barrier operator. The first fingerprint and the second fingerprint may be from the same or different users.12-18-2008
