20110128791Method and Apparatus of Performing an Erase Operation on a Memory Integrated Circuit - Various discussed approaches include an improved grouping of edge word lines and center word lines of an erase group during erase verify and erase sub-operations of an erase operation. In another approach, changed voltage levels of edge word lines to address the over-erase issue of the erase group, and also improve erase time performance. Another approach uses dummy word lines.06-02-2011
20110317493Method and Apparatus of Performing An Erase Operation on a Memory Integrated Circuit - Various discussed approaches improve the over erase issue and the coupling effect, and include (A) multilevel contacts between (i) the first outer selected word line of an erase group, and (ii) the first unselected word line outside the ease group neighboring the first outer selected word line; (B) a sufficient separation distance between (i) the first outer selected word line of an erase group, and (ii) the first unselected word line outside the ease group neighboring the first outer selected word line. These are examples of electrically isolating (i) the first outer selected word line of an erase group, from (ii) the first unselected word line outside the ease group neighboring the first outer selected word line.12-29-2011

20090203084METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CONVECTIVE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for amplifying a nucleic acid sequence by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The method comprises placing a PCR sample in a container which is heated by only a single heat source that provides a high temperature for denaturation in the bottom of the PCR sample, while annealing and extension automatically occur in different regions of the PCR sample due to the convection induced by a temperature gradient descending from the bottom of the PCR sample to the surface of the PCR sample.08-13-2009

20120170310LIGHT GUIDE WITH UNIFORM LIGHT DISTRIBUTION - This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for providing illumination by using a light guide to distribute light. In one aspect, the light guide has a light input edge into which light is injected and transverse edges transverse to the light input edge. The transverse edges are smooth and act as specular reflectors. The light input edge is rough and provides a diffusive interface. The light emitters are adjacent and centered along the light input edge, with the pitch of the light emitters being about ΔL, where ΔL is the distance between the transverse edges divided by the number of light emitters. The light guide can be provided with light turning features that redirect light out of the light guide. In some implementations, the redirected light can be applied to illuminate a display.07-05-2012

20110200906PARALLEL FUEL CELL ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM - A parallel fuel cell electrical power system is provided. The parallel fuel cell electrical power system includes a plurality of fuel cell electrical power modules and a direct-current bus (DC bus). Each of the fuel cell electrical power modules has a fuel-cell stack, a current switch, and a reverse current protection element. The DC bus electrically connects the output end of the plurality of fuel cell electrical power modules and makes one fuel cell electrical power module electrically connect to another fuel cell electrical power module in parallel, such that the fuel-cell stacks with a fixed power capacity are combined to effectively output a variety of voltages for a load.08-18-2011
20110250517GASEOUS FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR A FUEL CELL - The present invention discloses a gaseous fuel supply system for a fuel cell. The gaseous fuel supply system includes a first valve, a filter element, at least one pressure adjusting element, a first pipeline, a second valve, a flow rate detector, and a check valve. The first valve makes connection to a gaseous fuel supply source, and the filter element makes connection to the outlet of the first valve. The pressure adjusting element controls the gas pressure of fuel gas. The first pipeline makes connection between the pressure adjusting element and the second valve. The flow rate detector and the check valve are made connection sequentially after the second valve. In virtue of the plural detectors used in the gaseous fuel supply source, once an abnormal phenomenon is detected, the first valve and the second valve will be turned off by a control unit to enhance the safety of the fuel cell.10-13-2011
