Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090315214MELT MOLDING POLYMER COMPOSITE AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - The invention relates to a hot melt dispensable polymeric composite and process for making and using the composite. Particulates of adequate particle size are mixed with a polymer that exhibits low viscosities at temperatures typically provided by hot-melt glue guns to form rods that vary significantly in density from the base polymer. Novel articles can be manufactured by dispensing the composite from a glue gun into molds or by placement of the melt molding compound into preformed cavities within an end article.12-24-2009

20080309384Initialization Circuitry Having Fuse Leakage Current Tolerance - A system for initializing circuitry is presented. The system employs a power-on reset circuit having a threshold voltage and a programmable switch circuit. The power-on reset circuit has a detector circuit for detecting a reference voltage, and a one-sided latch for generating an output voltage reflective of the reference voltage. The detector circuit has a threshold after which the one-sided latch is activated. The programmable switch circuit receives the output voltage of the power-on reset circuit and generates an enable signal arid its complement based on the status of an internal fuse. The switch point of the power-on reset circuit provides for a rapid increase in output voltage, offsetting parasitic leakage current in the programmable switch circuit that can result in improper enable signal output.12-18-2008
20090153218LEVEL SHIFT CIRCUIT WITH POWER SEQUENCE CONTROL - A level shift circuit for providing predictable outputs when VDDH is powering up and minimizing DC current when VDDL is powering up. The level shift circuit may have a control circuit that includes a first inverter with an input coupled to VDDL, one or more diodes coupled between the first inverter and its powering voltage supply, a second inverter coupled to an output of the first inverter (optionally coupled to its voltage supply via one or more diodes), a third inverter coupled to an output of the second control inverter, an NMOS transistor coupled to an output of the third inverter that forces the output of the level shift circuit to the ground voltage when enabled, and a PMOS transistor coupled to an output of the third inverter that disconnects a portion of the level shift circuit, and thus the output of the level shift circuit, from VDDH when disabled.06-18-2009
