| 20090066308 | Switched Mode Power Supply Having Variable Minimum Switching Frequency - In a switched mode power supply (SMPS) that regulates an output voltage in response to load conditions by switching an inductor circuit between a supply voltage and ground at a switching frequency, under light loading conditions, the switching frequency of the SMPS is reduced down to a variable minimum switching frequency sufficiently high to avoid audible noise generation. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100033215 | Method and Apparatus for Constant On-Time Switch Mode Converters - The teachings presented herein provide a method and apparatus for operating constant on-time DC/DC converters, including pseudo constant on-time variants, with a virtual current-mode slope signal. Use of the slope signal provides, among other advantages and improvements, greater noise immunity and the ability to operate with a wider range of converter output filters. More particularly, incorporating a properly synchronized slope signal into the on-time triggering comparison provides for a maximum slope offset at on-time triggering. Doing so prevent double-pulsing (i.e., erroneous on-time retriggering) and other undesirable behavior of conventional constant on-time DC/DC converters and, as a particular but non-limiting advantage, allows ready and advantageous use of the slope-compensated converter as taught herein with low ESR capacitors in the output filter. | 02-11-2010 |

The ground plane is not substantially larger than, and electrically insulated from, the patch antenna. The ground plane is flexible, so the RFID tag structure can be worn by a human, and can be incorporated into a piece of clothing. A RFID antenna structure for use with a tag reader is made flat and robust so that it can be mounted on the ground to be walked upon or driven over. A bi-directional YAGI type RFID tag antenna structure has director elements on two opposite sides so that the YAGI antenna radiates in two opposite directions. An object includes a gain increasing metallic structure for increasing the gain of a RFID tag when placed near the object so as to form a RFID tag antenna structure. | 06-16-2011 |
