| 20110191215 | UNIVERSAL TAX ENGINE - A program controlled apparatus, system, and method for determining the transactional taxes due for each item by any taxing authority worldwide. The apparatus comprises a first database comprising a tree structure identifying all of the zones to be examined. A second database comprising all of the taxing authorities is independent from the first zone database. A third database, decoupled from the first and second databases, has data representing the relationship between the data records of the first database and the data records of the second database. Each of the databases can be updated periodically to reflect any changes in identified taxing authorities for the zones over which they may have taxing authority. Furthermore, the present invention provides for an independent, autonomous determination of jurisdiction and tax for each line item and calculates the tax based on any exceptions and exemptions. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20120119968 | Radial-free collinear omni-directional antenna with gain and virtual ground - An omni-directional antenna operable absent ground radials and providing at least 3 dB gain at a chosen wavelength relative to a dipole includes first and second like-oriented J-pole antennas and, coupled intermediate said J-pole antennas, a quarter-wavelength non-radiating delay line. Each J-pole antenna includes a half-wave radiating element, and a quarter-wavelength non-radiating section. The quarter-wavelength non-radiating delay line together with the quarter-wavelength non-radiation section of the second J-pole provide a half-wave non-radiating delay line. The result is that RF energy radiated by the first and second half-wave radiating elements are in proper phase, whereby gain is achieved. RF energy is coupled to the first J-pole antenna a distance Δ above the zero impedance end of that antenna. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20090315161 | DIE ATTACH METHOD AND LEADFRAME STRUCTURE - In one aspect of the invention, a method of attaching a semiconductor die to a microarray leadframe is described. The method comprises stamping an adhesive onto discrete areas of the microarray leadframe using a multi-pronged stamp tool. The adhesive is applied to the leadframe as a series of dots, each dot corresponding to an associated prong of the stamping tool. In some embodiments the adhesive used to attach the semiconductor die to a leadframe is a black epoxy based adhesive material. In an apparatus aspect of the invention, lead traces in a microarray leadframe are arranged to have tails that extend beyond their associated contact posts on the side of the contact post that is opposite a wire bonding region such that such lead traces extends on two opposing sides of their associated contact posts. The tails do not attach to other structures within the lead frame (such as a die attach structure). The width of at least some of these tailed lead traces in a region that overlies their associated contact post is narrower than their associated contact post. Thus, these narrowed lead traces have extensions that extend beyond their associated contact posts. The extensions provide additional surface area that gives an adhesive applied to the narrowed lead trace (as for example by stamping) room to bleed (flow) along the top surface of the lead trace on both sides of the associated contact pad. | 12-24-2009 |
