Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110141619Upstream Spoiler with Integrated Crash Stop - Approaches for a single part that comprises an upstream spoiler and a crash stop for use within a hard-disk drive (HDD). The integrated upstream spoiler and crash stop has one or more wings which diverts and reduces the flow of air, resulting from the rotation of the magnetic-recording disks within the HDD, from a magnetic-recording head of the HDD. The integrated upstream spoiler and crash stop has a structure that also prevents the actuator from moving beyond a particular location. After the integrated upstream spoiler and crash stop has been affixed within the HDD, the one or more wings may be rotated between the one or more magnetic-recording disks into a desired position.06-16-2011

20100079166Programmable Signal Routing Systems Having Low Static Leakage - Parasitic static leakage current through input terminals of bus-accessing multiplexers is minimized by automatically forcing as many as practical of the bus lines into a high impedance state where all drivers of the lines are in a high impedance output state. Thus parasitic current sinking or current sourcing leakage paths through the bus-accessing multiplexers are cut off. The method is of particular utility in a low power FPGA that desirable has low static current leakage when in a static state.04-01-2010
20100301898FPGA HAVING LOW POWER, FAST CARRY CHAIN - FPGA carry chain that does not exhibit significant leakage current. In particular, the carry chain can be switched on/off when desired. In this manner, carry chains can have their leakage currents substantially disabled when they are not in use, thus saving power. Additionally, a carry chain whose logic is separate from the logic blocks that perform the remaining arithmetic functions, and whose inputs are the input data to be added, rather than data from the logic blocks. Such a configuration reduces latency by allowing the carry chain to operate directly on the input data without need to wait on results from the logic blocks.12-02-2010

20090272125THERMAL PUMP MODULE AND TEMPERATURE REGULATION - A voltage regulator is configured to receive an input voltage from a power supply, measure a temperature associated with a heat transfer medium, produce an output voltage to drive a thermo-electric cooler, and vary the output voltage in accordance with changes in the measured temperature. Varying the output voltage results in: 1) extracting of heat from the heat transfer medium when the measured temperature is above a threshold value, or 2) supplying of heat to the heat transfer medium when the measured temperature is below a threshold value. The voltage regulator can cap upper and lower bounds of the output voltage to prevent the thermo-electric cooler from reaching its saturation point. The voltage regulator can be configured to produce an output voltage having reduced voltage ripple.11-05-2009

20110128545Fast-Indexing Filter Wheel and Method of Use - Various embodiments of a sequencing system capable of rapidly imaging samples at multiple wavelengths are provided herein. In one embodiment, the system includes a fast-indexing filter wheel having a plurality of excitation and emission filters capable of being rapidly rotated into and out of communication with an excitation source (e.g., an arc lamp, a laser. For example, the filter wheel can be configured to index in an amount of time falling within a range of about 40 ms to about 60 ms, preferably 50 ms. The system can also be configured to account for vibrations resulting from the quick starts and stops of the fast-indexing filter wheel as well as vibrations resulting from other sources. Various methods of rapidly imaging a sample at multiple wavelengths are also provided herein.06-02-2011
