Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100237958FEED-BACK AND FEED-FORWARD SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO REDUCE OSCILLATOR PHASE-NOISE - Systems, methods, and apparatus are described that provide for low phase-noise, spectrally-pure, and low-jitter signals from electrical oscillators. An aspect of the present disclosure includes utilization of an open-loop feed-forward phase-noise cancellation scheme to cancel phase noise, or jitter, of an electrical oscillator. Phase noise can be measured and then subtracted, with the phase noise measurement and subtraction being performed at a speed faster than phase noise variations of the oscillator. Another aspect of the present disclosure includes use of a feedback scheme for phase noise reduction. A feedback scheme can be used alone or in conjunction with a feed-forward scheme. Related phase-noise cancellation and/or reduction methods are described. Notch filter and RF amplifier circuits are also described.09-23-2010

20110083721CONCENTRATING PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM - A solar cell concentrating apparatus includes a parabolic or similar reflector focusing a beam of light on an array of photovoltaic cells to generate electric current. The reflector includes a large number of hexagonal mirrors each provided with an infra red reflective coating. A suitable reflective coating material is aluminum oxide, but a number of others are well known. Further aspects of the apparatus include use of a Fourier transform lens to alter an intensity profile of the light beam incident on the solar cells, and/or a beam altering device including a bundle of optical fibers that are interleaved and of varying lengths, for the same purpose.04-14-2011

20120072181METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING HVAC SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS - A computer based method and apparatus for simulating and optimizing design of an HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning system) in a building. Conventional software tools for this purpose use the well known Navier-Stokes partial differential equations used to describe motion of fluid substances by means of computational fluid dynamics using a finite element method to solve the equations and optimize design of building air ducts for carrying warm and cool air through a building. Instead here the HVAC system is initially simulated using an electrical circuit design tool such as SPICE, where room volumes correspond to electrical capacitances, heat sources correspond to electrical resistances, and air flows to electrical currents in a complex R-C electrical circuit. The goal is to improve energy efficiency in terms of the amount of energy used to heat and cool air, and also the amount of energy used to circulate the air through the air ducts.03-22-2012

20090298953Drug delivery system and method of making the same - Disclosed is a method for making a composition which comprises of an array of unsaturated, aliphatic, biocompatible and biodegradable polyesters with photo curing capability which upon mixing with an active ingredient will provide an inject able liquid or putty-like material. The composition can be injected via a customary syringe and needle and be photocured in situ using visible light irradiation. Changing in the network crosslinking, molecular weight of the linear polymeric precursors and their chemical structures can control delivery rate of the active ingredient from the device.12-03-2009
20110223112UNSATURATED POLYESTER COATED MAGNETIC ULTRA-FINE PARTICLES FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS - Unsaturated polyesters e.g. poly (ethylene glycol fumarate) (PEGF) were developed as new coating materials for iron oxide nanoparticles. Different strategies were adopted in their synthesis to provide different characteristics including solubility, molecular weight and structure also degrees of unsaturation. After synthesis of the nanoparticles; the material was applied as a coating on them. These materials were applicable without further processing, however, coatings were cured via thermal, redox or photo initiated crosslinking on the nanoparticles to provide rigid shells on the surface of nanoparticles.09-15-2011

20110247326Waste Exhaust Energy Recovery from an Engine - An aspect encompasses an engine system wherein a turbocharger is coupled to an internal combustion engine to receive exhaust from the engine and to provide compressed air for combustion to the engine. The turbocharger is driven to generate the compressed air by the exhaust from the engine. An expander/generator is coupled to the turbocharger to receive at least a portion of the compressed air and generate electricity by expanding the compressed air.10-13-2011
