20110024094CERAMIC FERRULES AND CERAMIC FERRULE ARRAY INCLUDING SAME FOR TUBE PITCH VARIABILITY TOLERANT PROCESS HEAT BOILER SYSTEM - A cover ferrule is provided, including a hexagonally shaped head portion, a joint shield portion provided at an upper surface of the head portion, and a stein portion extending downwardly from a first end proximate a lower surface of the head portion to an opposed second end thereof. The joint shield portion includes a central opening, coaxially aligned with respect to central openings of the head and stem portions and with a central axis of the cover ferrule, and a plurality of extension members extending radially outwardly with respect to the central axis of the cover ferrule and defining arc portions connecting respectively adjacent extension members of the joint shield portion.02-03-2011

20100084053FEEDSTOCK FOR METAL FOIL PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF - The present invention discloses a product comprising a 1xxx, 3xxx and 8xxx series aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater compared to the average values of the same alloy in O-temper cast using a slab or roll-casting process. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles. In another embodiment, the present invention discloses a 8111 or 8921 aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater than the average values of the same alloy in O-temper made from feedstock prepared by slab or roll casting processes. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles.04-08-2010

20110059709Self-Optimizing Integrated RF Converter - Techniques are disclosed for optimization of RF converters. The techniques can be employed, for instance, in RF converters implemented in semiconductor materials (system-on-chip, or chip set) or with discrete components on a printed circuit board. In any such cases, the RF converter system can be configured with one or more actuators to adjust performance, one or more sensor to assess the performance (e.g., linearity of RF converter) and parameters of interest (e.g., ambient temperature, and a control block for controlling the sensors and actuators. The configuration allows the RF converter to autonomously self-optimize for linearity or other parameters of interest such as gain, noise figure, and dynamic range, across a broad range of variables.03-10-2011
20110059714Integrated Cancellation Circuit for RF Converter Spurious Tones - Techniques are disclosed for eliminating or otherwise sufficiently suppressing spurious signals. The techniques are particularly useful in applications such as those that employ aggressor frequency sources along with a frequency conversion or mixing function, and especially applications implemented as a system-on-chip. In the spur-training mode, a spur-canceller circuit identifies spurious tones associated with the host system to neutralize those tones when running in a normal mode. The tones are neutralized using a comb generator with variable phase and gain by way of cancellation with comb output signals having substantially the same amplitude and a phase that is 180° out of phase with the aggressor tone to be cancelled.03-10-2011
