| 20120139636 | Power Amplifier System with a Current Bias Signal Path - Power amplifier (PA) systems are typically comprised of a signal path integrated circuit (IC) and a power control IC. Advanced CMOS technologies may allow smart integration of such ICs into a single IC and provide an opportunity to improve performance and cost. Specifically, the radio frequency (RF) signal path is designed to enable local biasing of the gain stages that comprise the RF signal path. By using current-mode biasing instead of the prior art voltage-mode biasing significant area reduction is achieved as well as better isolation between the stages which reduces noise, and improves stability. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120139639 | Ground Partitioned Power Amplifier for Stable Operation - Achievement of robust stability of a power amplifier (PA) that allows the sharing of the ground between the driver stages and the output stage is shown. A controlled amount of negative feedback is used to neutralize the local positive feedback that results from the driver-to-output stage ground sharing in the signal path, for example, a radio frequency (RF) signal path. The solution keeps a strong drive and a good performance of the PA. Exemplary embodiments are shown for the PA positive feedback neutralization. A first embodiment uses a ground signal divider while another embodiment uses a ground signal divider weighting technique. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120139643 | Output Stage of a Power Amplifier Having a Switched-Bulk Biasing and Adaptive Biasing - A power amplifier (PA) using switched-bulk biasing to minimize the risk of output stage snapback effect is disclosed. An adaptive biasing of the output stage prevents device breakdown while accommodating large voltage swings. These protection techniques can be applied to all types of cascode configurations of a PA, including single-ended, differential, quadrature, segmented and any combination thereto. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120146722 | Power Amplifier Having a Nonlinear Output Capacitance Equalization - Power amplifier (PA), regardless of the process used for the manufacturing of its devices, suffers from a nonlinear output capacitance that has significant impact on various aspects of the PA performance. This output capacitance is dependent on the large output voltage swing. Accordingly a compensation capacitance is added at the output of the PA that has a behavior that is inverse respective of the output voltage of that of the output capacitance of the PA. Connecting the compensation capacitor in parallel to the PA output capacitance, results in a total capacitance that is the sum of the output capacitance and its compensation capacitance. The total output capacitance is therefore essentially stable throughout the output voltage swing. | 06-14-2012 |

| 20100001206 | MAXIM ELECTRON SCATTER CHAMBER - The present invention includes a system, methods and apparatus for sterilization of an object (e.g., food products). The present invention takes advantage of the electron scatter that occurs when electron beam is applied onto a surface. The present invention is capable of treating irregular surfaces (e.g., carcasses, spherical/round surfaces) or any type of surface where complete penetration is not needed or desired. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20120162622 | FIELD EXTENSION TO REDUCE NON-YIELDING EXPOSURES OF WAFER - Techniques are provided for efficient lithography processing and wafer layout. In particular, the techniques can be used to reduce the number of sacrificial exposures along the wafer perimeter region. In one example embodiment, an exposure system reticle is configured with both a normal area (die yielding area) and a dumification area (non-yielding area at wafer perimeter), thereby allowing for lithographic processing in the non-yielding areas sufficient to facilitate successful processing in the adjacent die yielding areas, but without requiring additional sacrificial exposures. This reduction in sacrificial exposures translates to a significant improvement in fab capacity. The techniques can be implemented, for example, on any number of lithography tools having an adjustable reticle or reticle blind capability and in the context of any technology nodes, such as 95 nm and smaller. The lithography tool may produce wafers at a faster rate. | 06-28-2012 |

| 20080281192 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REAL-TIME TARGET POSITION ESTIMATION BY COMBINING X-RAY AND EXTERNAL RESPIRATORY SIGNALS - A method and system are disclosed for estimating internal position information of a target in real-time based on a single gantry-mounted x-ray imager and a respiratory signal. The x-ray imaging is done periodically to limit radiation dosage. Initial parameters for the estimation model are determined in a pre-treatment session using four dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) in combination with a respiratory signal acquired from the patient. The model parameters are updated during treatment based on the periodic x-ray image data and the respiratory signal. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20120177271 | 4D Anatomically Based Image Selection Procedure for Medical Imaging - Improved 4D imaging reconstruction is provided for a freely breathing patient. 3D patient images from an imaging dataset are binned according to respiratory displacement or phase. The bins are defined by ranges, so every image in the raw 3D data set is included in a bin. Since binning in this manner often results in two or more images per bin, the 4D reconstruction is determined by selecting one 3D image from each bin at each patient position. This selection is performed so as to maximize the anatomical similarity of 3D images at adjacent patient positions. In cases where the 3D images include multiple slices, a 2D comparison of the closest slices can be used to determine anatomical similarity of the 3D images. | 07-12-2012 |
