Patent number: 7696741Abstract: An adaptive measurement system measures a transition rate associated with an output of a device. An input signal that is characteristic of the output of the device is received by an input signal-to-frequency converter, which changes state based upon a characteristic of the input signal. The input signal-to-frequency converter provides a second signal, which reflects the state changes of the input signal-to-frequency converter. The second signal is sampled over a sample period and an instance of average transition rate is determined. A control subsystem may use the instance of average transition rate for regulating the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Korry Electronics, Co.Inventor: Walter P. M. Gurr

Patent number: 7535183Abstract: A hybrid power supply provides powers to a load, such as a light emitting diode (LED) backlight display, using pulse wave modulation (PWM) enable signal to control activation of a linear power supply and a switching power supply. During an initial part of an active portion of a duty cycle of the PWM enable signal, the linear power supply is activated to supply the load with constant current. During the remainder of the active portion of the duty cycle of the PWM enable signal, the linear power supply is deactivated and the switching power supply is activated to provide current to the load. A bias current and voltage may be provided to the LED during an inactive portion of the duty cycle of the PWM enable signal. The hybrid power supply combines the high efficiency of the switching power supply with smooth dimming control at low luminance of the linear power supply.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Korry Electronics Co.Inventor: Walter P.

Patent number: 6852266Abstract: A method and apparatus for ultrasonic assisted deposition of a release agent onto a workpiece is disclosed. The release agent can be any fluorinated or non-fluorinated phosphorous-containing organic acid. The workpiece can be any workpiece desired to be coated with the release agent, such as a surface needing an anti-stick coating required in a plastic casting or injection mold.
