20150336625 | One-dimensional climbing vehicle with resilient guide mechanism - This patent discloses a climbing vehicle capable of high payload to weight ratio and capable of climbing surfaces with geometric variations and traveling along a single dimension. More specifically, this invention applies to a vehicle well adapted to climbing non-planar surfaces such as pipes or other structural members while traveling along a single dimension, for example traveling parallel to the axis of the pipe. The climbing vehicle makes contact with the climbing surface through drive wheels and a trialing arm. The adhering members are aligned with the primary axis and are rigidly attached or contained in a suspension that is able to conform to a large range of surface irregularities while providing push and pulling forces between the adhering members and the climbing vehicle chassis to uniformly distribute the climbing loads on the adhering members. The result is a climbing machine that can accommodate large surface irregularities while maximizing the climbing payload with a minimum number and size of adhering members. | 11-26-2015 |

20120091531 | Flexible Integration of Logic Blocks with Transistors of Different Threshold Voltages - An integrated circuit constructed according to an arrangement of logic blocks, with one or more logic blocks including transistors of a different threshold voltage than in other logic blocks. Spacing between neighboring active regions of different threshold voltages is minimized by constraining the angle of implant for the threshold adjust implant, and by constraining the thickness of the mask layer used with that implant. These constraints ensure adequate implant of dopant into the channel region while blocking the implant into channel regions not subject to the threshold adjust, while avoiding shadowing from the mask layer. Efficiency is attained by constraining the direction of implant to substantially perpendicular to the run of the gate electrodes in the implanted regions. | 04-19-2012 |
20120235242 | Control of Local Environment for Polysilicon Conductors in Integrated Circuits - A method of fabricating gate level electrodes and interconnects in an integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit so fabricated, with improved process margin for the gate level interconnects of a width near the critical dimension. Off-axis illumination, as used in the photolithography of deep sub-micron critical dimension, is facilitated by the patterned features having a preferred orientation in a common direction, with a pitch constrained to within a relatively narrow range. Interconnects in that same gate level, for example “field poly” interconnects, that run parallel to an array of gate elements are placed within a specified distance range from the ends of the gate elements, or at a distance sufficient to allow sub-resolution assist features. | 09-20-2012 |

20150193837 | METHOD OF ALLOCATING AND DISTRIBUTING MONETARY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS - A performance-based method of allocating and distributing campaign contributions using a computer system accessible through an interactive interface, like a web site or mobile application. The computer system collects monetary campaign contribution pledges from Donors, the pledges being associated with a particular piece of legislation rather than a particular candidate. The Donor indicates whether they are for or against the legislation when making their pledge. The computer system then monitors the legislative body's action on the legislation and once voted on, it allocates pledge funds to incumbents or their challengers based on how the incumbent voted. Multiple Donors' allocated pledges for multiple pieces of legislation are accumulated over time per seat. At the end of each seat's term, the pledges are then distributed accordingly. Thus, a contribution decision is ultimately made based on an incumbent's record rather than on his or her promises. | 07-09-2015 |

20110271079 | MULTIPLE-CORE PROCESSOR SUPPORTING MULTIPLE INSTRUCTION SET ARCHITECTURES - A multiple-core processor supporting multiple instruction set architectures provides a power-efficient and flexible platform for virtual machine environments requiring multiple support for multiple instruction set architectures (ISAs). The processor includes multiple cores having disparate native ISAs and that may be selectively enabled for operation, so that power is conserved when support for a particular ISA is not required of the processor. The multiple cores may share a common first level cache and be mutually-exclusively selected for operation, or multiple level-one caches may be provided, one associated with each of the cores and the cores operated as needed, including simultaneous execution of disparate ISAs. A hypervisor controls operation of the cores and locates a core and enables it if necessary when a request to instantiate a virtual machine having a specified ISA is received. | 11-03-2011 |

20100215193 | Speaker Distortion Deduction System and Method - Many speakers, especially small speakers are susceptible to distortion if too much power is applied in certain vulnerable frequency bands. The distortion can be prevented by applying equalization to the audio signal driving the speaker. An equalizer can be configured to suppress the audio signal in the vulnerable frequency bands. The equalizer monitors the power in the vulnerable frequency bands and suppresses those vulnerable frequency bands only when they have sufficient power to distort. In this fashion, undesired audio effects due to the equalization can be avoided. | 08-26-2010 |
20110002471 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSDUCER CALIBRATION AND TUNING - Audio transducers (headphones, speakers, microphones) inherently do not accurately reproduce the signal presented to them at the input. This can be compensated for by taking into account the transducer characteristics and transforming the input signal using a digital signal processor (DSP) to counteract the inaccuracies. However, for the compensation to take place, the DSP needs to know the characteristics of the transducer. For systems with built-in transducers (like laptops with internal speakers) the characteristics of the internal speakers can be stored on the hard-drive of the laptop and the DSP can read this data and make the appropriate compensations. Because a transducer (headphone, speaker, microphone) has its own characteristics that need to be compensated for separately, a profile is supplied to the DSP either by a database lookup based on an identification made by the user or transducer itself or by profile information stored on the transducer. Once the characteristics of a transducer are known, many additional DSP algorithms can be applied in order to improve the audio performance and even safety of the system. | 01-06-2011 |
20120002819 | AUDIO DRIVER SYSTEM AND METHOD - A grounding switch is described which operates properly even in the presence of negative voltages on a signal line. The grounding switch uses isolated field effect transistors that have their substrates tied to different voltages. The isolated field effect transistor has gate voltage and substrate voltage which can be pulled down to negative voltage when the signal line has a negative voltage allowing the switch to remain open even with a negative voltage. | 01-05-2012 |
20150372650 | AUDIO DRIVER SYSTEM AND METHOD - An audio driver equipped with a distortion compensation unit corrects for detected distortion and includes a digital to analog converter (DAC), an amplifier, and an output driver that drives a loudspeaker. Between the output driver and the loudspeaker, the audio driver can include a series resistor and a differential amplifier to measure the voltage across the resistor. A distortion detection unit can use the detected voltage to determine whether distortion, such as rub and buzz distortion is present. The distortion detection unit can comprise an analog to digital converter (ADC) to digitize the voltage data, an FFT to transform the voltage data into frequency information, a root-mean-square (RMS) module that measures the energy at each frequency, and an analysis module which looks for the distortion signature in the energy spectrum. | 12-24-2015 |
