20090291400 | Liquid fuel lamp and fragrance diffuser apparatus - A liquid fuel lamp design is disclosed, consisting of a length of wick housed within a vertical wick tube equipped with an upwardly-extending handle, which wick tube assembly is seated resealably within a funnel-shaped fuel aperture extending upward from a low wide fuel reservoir, atop which is securely affixed a lamp chimney of such dimension as to assure a high degree of isolation of the lamp flame and exhaust vapors above 451 F degrees from non-vapor combustibles in the lamp environment. The invention relies on a novel liquid fuel lamp filling system, whereby the wick tube may be equipped with a bushing and cap to resealably close the fuel aperture, and is removed and replaced by its upwardly extended handle via the chimney's upper opening to allow refilling and maintenance. The wick tube and fuel reservoir are configured so as to efficiently burn liquid fuels, especially viscous fuels, and in particular vegetable oils as fuel. The inner base of the lamp chimney accommodates non-flammable liquid fragrances such that while the lamp is burning, heat from the flame volatizes the fragrance and disperses it upon the column of hot vapor rising from the lamp chimney. The entire device is highly spill-resistant, constructed durably, and equipped with articulations to accommodate lamp accessories. A device for conveniently attaching and removing such accessories is also disclosed. | 11-26-2009 |

The driver model can then generate a model output by interpolating the output current signals using the output voltage to generate an output current. The output current can then be used to generate an updated output voltage across a predetermined time increment. The output current signals can then be interpolated using the updated output voltage to generate a new output current, when can be used to update the output voltage once again across the next time increment. By repeating this process across a time frame for the model output signal, a model output current and output voltage signals can be generated that match the actual output current and voltage signals from a driver in a multi-driver system. | 05-14-2009 |
20090210204 | Segmentation And Interpolation Of Current Waveforms - A method for generating a linear piecewise representation of a driver output current signal includes segmenting the driver output current signal such that an integral of each segment matches an actual voltage change in corresponding portion of an associated output voltage signal (within a desired tolerance). The beginning and ending current/time values for each segment can then be compiled into the piecewise linear representation of the driver output current signal. A method for generating a model driver output current signal includes conformally mapping first and second sets of precharacterization output current data based on a weighted average of the indexing parameter (e.g., input slew or output capacitance) values for the model driver output signal and the first and second sets of precharacterization data. | 08-20-2009 |
20100199245 | Non-Linear Receiver Model For Gate-Level Delay Calculation - A characterized cell library for EDA tools includes receiver model data that provides two or more capacitance values for a given receiver modeling situation (signal type and operating conditions). The receiver model can then use different capacitance values to generate different portions of the model receiver signal, thereby enabling more accurate matching of actual receiver signal timing characteristics. For example, a two-capacitance receiver model can be generated by using the first capacitance value to match the delay characteristics of an actual receiver, and by using the second capacitance (in light of the use of the first capacitance) to match the slew characteristics of that actual receiver. Because typical EDA timing analyses focus mainly on delay and slew (and not the detailed profile of circuit signals), a two-capacitance receiver model can provide a high degree of accuracy without significantly increasing cell library size and computational complexity. | 08-05-2010 |
20110173580 | Nonlinear Driver Model For Multi-Driver Systems - A precharacterized cell library for EDA tools includes driver model data includes output current signals indexed by output voltages. The driver model can then generate a model output by interpolating the output current signals using the output voltage to generate an output current. The output current can then be used to generate an updated output voltage across a predetermined time increment. The output current signals can then be interpolated using the updated output voltage to generate a new output current, when can be used to update the output voltage once again across the next time increment. By repeating this process across a time frame for the model output signal, a model output current and output voltage signals can be generated that match the actual output current and voltage signals from a driver in a multi-driver system. | 07-14-2011 |
