| 20100308902 | REFERENCE VOLTAGE GENERATORS FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - A reference voltage generator circuit may include at least one MOS transistor and at least one bipolar transistor coupled together to provide an electrical path from an input reference potential to an output of the generator circuit. The electrical path may extend through a gate-to-source path of the MOS transistor and further through a base-to-emitter path of the bipolar transistor. The MOS transistor may be biased by a bias current that is proportional to T | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110050252 | AUTOMATIC CHARACTERIZATION OF AN ACTUATOR BASED ON CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENT - An apparatus and method for determining characterizing attributes of an actuator is provided. An actuator may be moved to a maximum capacitance position. At the maximum capacitance position, an initial measurement of the actuator capacitance is made. The actuator is moved a predetermined increment toward a first extreme position, and the actuator capacitance is again measured. If the capacitance changed by a threshold amount, the signal preceding the signal that caused the actuator to move is recorded as an approximate response curve end point, or the first extreme position. The actuator is again moved a predetermined increment toward a second extreme position. After each move, the capacitance is measured. If it is determined the capacitance did change by a threshold amount from the previously measured capacitance, the signal related to the previously measured capacitance is recorded as an approximate response curve end point, or the second extreme position. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110163811 | Fast Class AB Output Stage - A system for a Class AB Amplifier output stage that includes a first push pull system connected to an output terminal including a first driving transistor coupled to the output terminal and a second push pull system connected to the output terminal including a second driving transistor coupled to the output terminal. The amplifier also includes a current mode amplifier where the current mode amplifier's output is coupled to the first driving transistor's gate. The amplifier further includes a pair of resistors, a first resistor coupled to a first input terminal of the current mode amplifier, a second resistor coupled to a second input terminal of the current mode amplifier and coupled to the second driving transistor. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20120089047 | CRYOABLATION APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR RENAL NEUROMODULATION - Catheter apparatuses, systems, and methods for cryogenically modulating neural structures of the renal plexus by intravascular access are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present application, for example, is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods that incorporate a catheter treatment device comprising an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft is sized and configured to deliver a cryo-applicator to a renal artery via an intravascular path. Cryogenic renal neuromodulation may be achieved via application of cryogenic temperatures to modulate neural fibers that contribute to renal function, or of vascular structures that feed or perfuse the neural fibers. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20110146164 | Modular Processing Facility - The various processes of a plant are segmented into separate process blocks that are connected to one another using fluid conduits or electrical connections. Each process block is specialized to perform specific tasks in an assembly line manner to achieve an overall goal. For example, multiple distillation process blocks could be daisy-chained to create fuel from crude oil. Each process block is generally small enough to be mounted on a truck or a flatbed for easy transport, allowing for an assembly line of process blocks to be transported anywhere in the world with ease. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090166976 | INFLATABLE SEAL, SET OF FLANGE PARTS AND CONTAINER COMPRISING SUCH SEAL, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SUCH SEAL - An inflatable seal for sealing an annular space between two flange parts is formed by a hollow ring composed of elastic material. The hollow ring has a tubular cross-section with a peripheral wall and is provided with a connection for an inflation medium. The peripheral wall comprises, in at least one area of the tubular cross-section, a blocking element having a substantially larger cross-sectional dimension than the remaining part of the peripheral wall. Furthermore, a set of flange parts and a container comprising such a seal, and a method of manufacturing such a seal are disclosed. | 07-02-2009 |
