20090140866SENSOR FOR DETECTING LEAKAGE OF A LIQUID - A sensor for detecting the presence of a liquid. The sensor includes a housing having a concave upper surface, a concave lower surface, and a peripheral wall connecting the upper surface and the lower surface, the wall extending above the upper surface and below the lower surface. A plurality of apertures are formed in the wall. A plurality of electrically conductive members extend above the upper surface and below the lower surface and are separated from one another by a gap in which a liquid can accumulate. The electrically conductive members are configured to generate an output signal when a conductive liquid comes into contact with the electrically conductive members and bridges the gap. An output connector is coupled to the plurality of electrically conductive members and is configured to carry the output signal.06-04-2009

20090021229Method and Apparatus for Enabling a Voltage Regulator - A voltage regulator circuit is operated by enabling a bias network operable to set a bias current in an amplifier. A startup circuit is connected to the bias network, the startup circuit operable to assist the bias network in setting the amplifier bias current during a startup period. The startup circuit is disconnected from the bias network responsive to the startup period lapsing while the voltage regulator circuit is enabled for resetting the startup circuit to an initial state. The bias network may be disabled to reduce the amplifier bias current. Subsequent re-enablement of the bias network is prevented until the amplifier is reliably disabled.01-22-2009
20090021308Voltage Regulator Startup Method and Apparatus - A voltage regulator circuit comprises an amplifier, bias network and startup circuit. The bias network is configured to generate a bias voltage for setting a bias current in the amplifier. The startup circuit is configured to mirror the amplifier bias current and to assist the bias network in setting the amplifier bias current based on the mirrored amplifier bias current until the bias voltage approximates a desired level.01-22-2009

20110056124Algal Coal and Process for Preparing Same - Algae-derived synthetic coal and filtrates. The invention described herein provides an algae-derived synthetic coal product and filtrates and process for preparing the same using an improved hydrothermal carbonization process. The synthetic coal product is similar to natural bituminous coal in terms of percent carbon content and energy equivalency while at the same time containing relatively low levels of sulfur and contaminant heavy metals. Unlike natural coal and other fossil fuels, because the carbon of the biomass is formed through photosynthesis, carbon dioxide formed during combustion is a “carbon neutral” event with little or no “new” carbon dioxide being added to the earth's atmosphere. The algae-derived filtrates contain useful constituents.03-10-2011
