20100119141	Method for discovering relationships in data by dynamic quantum clustering - Data clustering is provided according to a dynamical framework based on quantum mechanical time evolution of states corresponding to data points. To expedite computations, we can approximate the time-dependent Hamiltonian formalism by a truncated calculation within a set of Gaussian wave-functions (coherent states) centered around the original points. This allows for analytic evaluation of the time evolution of all such states, opening up the possibility of exploration of relationships among data-points through observation of varying dynamical-distances among points and convergence of points into clusters. This formalism may be further supplemented by preprocessing, such as dimensional reduction through singular value decomposition and/or feature filtering.	05-13-2010

20120038333	Coil-less stepdown power transformer - This invented device uses mainly two circuits; namely, electronic switch and arithmetic average circuit to average the switched on/off source voltage, AC or DC, down to the load-needed lower value. This device is not of a high frequency coil transformer circuit, yet not of a resistive or reactive voltage drop or dividing circuit. The stepdown ratio of this device is soft-adjustable, and hence the voltage stabilization can be easily implemented inside itself. Inherently, the switching device is light, small, and high power efficiency. Theoretically, the high efficiency of this device is because this device has no no-load loss and a load loss=(constant saturation voltage)×(load current) if BJT or IGBT switch used, while the coil transformer has a no-load loss (iron loss) and a load loss (copper loss). This device can replace most coil transformers to economize the use of energy, copper and iron.	02-16-2012

Patent application number	Description	Published
20090266678	CLEAN, HIGH DENSITY, SOFT-ACCUMULATING CONVEYOR - A conveyor for clean manufacturing applications. The conveyor comprises interconnected conveyor modules, each of which includes a conveyor belt segment (s). Each conveyor belt segment includes a pair of side rails that are in parallel or substantially in parallel to each other; a pair of autonomous, belt-drives for transporting work pieces or objects carrying work pieces from a proximal end of the belt segment to a distal end of the belt segment; a pair of driving wheels for turning the belt-drives, and a motor for directly or indirectly driving each of the pair of driving wheels. One of the driving wheels is mechanically or magnetically coupled to a magnetic hysteresis clutch that allows the driving wheels to disengage from the drive shaft of the motor if the inertia of the work piece does not permit synchronization of work piece with the drive speed of the motor during acceleration or deceleration.	10-29-2009

20110303510	CLEAN, HIGH DENSITY, SOFT-ACCUMULATING CONVEYOR - A conveyor segment for clean manufacturing applications. Each conveyor belt segment includes a pair of side rails parallel to each other; a pair of belt-drives for transporting work pieces from a first end to a second end of the belt segment; a pair of driving wheels for turning the belt-drives. The belt of each of the belt-drives is disposed in a serpentine path about plural, load-bearing upper idler wheels, around either a lower loop-back idler wheel or a driving wheel, and back up and around another pair of upper idler wheels. This sequence is repeated a selected number of times about additional pairs of upper idler wheels and lower loop-back idler wheels or a driving wheel before the belt is disposed beneath plural return idler wheels and back up to the starting point. Slipping between the belt and wheels is thus minimized, even in the absence of a work piece on the belt segment.	12-15-2011

20110221414	DC to DC CONVERTER HAVING ABILITY OF SWITCHING BETWEEN CONTINUOUS AND DISCONTINUOUS MODES AND METHOD OF OPERATION - A DC to DC converter has first and second transistor coupled at a first node and coupled between first and second power supply terminals. An inductor has a first terminal coupled to the first node and a second terminal coupled to an output terminal for receiving a variable load. Transistor drive circuitry controls conduction of the first and second transistor in a non-overlapping conduction operation. A duty cycle controller controls a duty cycle for the first transistor and the second transistor. Control circuitry determines a mode of operation by monitoring cycles of operation and detecting a predetermined pattern of cycles in which inductor current becomes negative. A first mode of operation permits both the first transistor and the second transistor to alternately conduct and a second mode of operation does not permit the second transistor to conduct during each cycle when the inductor current is reduced to substantially zero.	09-15-2011
