Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100003610Electrophotographic Roller With Resistance to Nip Banding - An endless electrophotographic member, such as a developer roller, which indicates an improved resistance to nip banding. The improvement to nip banding may be provided by the use of an organic salt within a roller surface region. The roller may provide, at a nip location, a resistive surface layer having an electrical resistance that avoids the development of nip banding and relatively dark regions on printed media.01-07-2010

20090289861RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND METHODS - One embodiment relates to a circuit for efficient wireless communication. The circuit includes an antenna feed and a plurality of communication paths stemming from the antenna feed, where different communication paths are associated with different frequency bands. The circuit also includes a shunt coupled to the antenna feed and adapted to selectively divert power from the antenna feed as a function of shunt control signal. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.11-26-2009
20090291647RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND METHODS - One embodiment relates to a circuit for efficient wireless communication. The circuit includes a communication port adapted to be coupled to an antenna feed. Multiple communication paths stem from the communication port, where different communication paths are associated with different frequency bands. Multiple phase shift selection circuits are respectively associated with the multiple communication paths. The phase shift selection circuits have different respective impedances relative to the communication port and the respective impedances vary for the different frequency bands. Other methods and systems are also disclosed.11-26-2009

20110136304Techniques to Enhance Selectivity of Electrical Breakdown of Carbon Nanotubes - Techniques are used to fabricate carbon nanotube devices. These techniques improve the selective removal of undesirable nanotubes such as metallic carbon nanotubes while leaving desirable nanotubes such as semiconducting carbon nanotubes. In a first technique, slot patterning is used to slice or break carbon nanotubes have a greater length than desired. By altering the width and spacing of the slotting, nanotubes have a certain length or greater can be removed. Once the lengths of nanotubes are confined to a certain or expected range, the electrical breakdown approach of removing nanotubes is more effective. In a second technique, a Schottky barrier is created at one electrode (e.g., drain or source). This Schottky barrier helps prevent the inadvertent removal the desirable nanotubes when using the electrical breakdown approach. The first and second techniques can be used individually or in combination with each other.06-09-2011

20110225464RESILIENT CONNECTIVITY HEALTH MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK - A framework is provided for diagnosing and resolving wireless connectivity-related issues. For example, some embodiments of the invention provide a “health monitor” which monitors and logs wireless connectivity-related events occurring on the device, the network, and the one or more resources to which the device is connected. The health monitor may analyze these events and/or other information to determine when a connectivity problem may have arisen, and if a problem is determined to be imminent or to have occurred, may initiate recovery procedures. In some embodiments, the monitoring of events, analysis to determine whether a connectivity problem has arisen, and the recovery from the problem occur transparently to the user.09-15-2011
