20090265675On Chip Local MOSFET Sizing - A method for reducing variation in a desired property between transistors in an integrated circuit that is fabricated with a given process. The process is characterized to form a mathematical model that associates changes in polysilicon density and active density in the integrate circuit with changes in gate length and gate width in the transistors, and associates changes in the gate length and the gate width to the desired property. The integrated circuit is laid out with space sufficient to adjust the gate length and the gate width of the transistors without violating design rules of the transistors. The integrated circuit is divided into portions, and for at least a given one of the portions of the integrated circuit, the polysilicon density and the active density of the given portion is measured. For at least one of the transistors in the given portion of the integrated circuit, at least one of the gate length and the gate width of the transistor is selectively adjusted according to the mathematical model, based on at least one of the polysilicon density and the active density of the given portion, to reduce variation in the desired property between the transistors in the integrated circuit.10-22-2009

20100253653VIRTUAL KNOB INTERFACE AND METHOD - A virtual knob interface includes a substrate, a virtual knob associated with the substrate, and a number of touch sensors associated with the substrate and with the virtual knob. The virtual knob and touch sensor are configured and arranged such that the touch sensors detect manipulation of the virtual knob by a user. The knob can be removable from the substrate. Features can be provided to disable control of a device or function controlled by the knob when the knob has been removed.10-07-2010
20100259497INTEGRATED TOUCH SENSOR ELECTRODE AND BACKLIGHT MASK - A user interface includes a user interface substrate and an associated integrated sensing electrode and backlight mask in the form of an opaque material having an aperture or otherwise light-transmissive portion therein. The integrated sensing electrode and backlight mask is positioned between the user interface substrate and a light source, such that indicia in the form of the aperture is visible at a surface of the user interface substrate when the light source is illuminated.10-14-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100189606Elemental Separation Process - The purpose of this system is to separate components of a molecule from the larger molecule or separate a molecule into smaller pieces. This system uses the shearing and/or breaking of molecular bonds using pressure waves, sudden pressure differentials, rotary movements, high velocity collisions to separate the molecule, or any combination of these methods. The system uses high voltage through no voltage to facilitate the separated or broken particles to remain in a separated state. For simplification purposes in the patent the drawings will show the separation of hydrogen from water molecules rather than to refer to all combinations; however, this patent refers in general to the separation of molecules/atoms of any size, shape, or configuration into a baser unit, separation of molecular components, or for distillation purposes. The process combinations described below can be used in any industry and for any reason without limitation. The devices mentioned in this application can be made of any material which supports the strains, stresses and pressures under which they are exerted with the understanding that all materials are subject to possible wear and deformations. Materials used for the process may be homogeneous; however, in most applications a variety of materials and combinations of materials will be used for components. The materials may undergo material tempering or they may not. For this process all levels of tempering and material strengthening are assumed included herein.07-29-2010
