Publication number: 20170047481Abstract: There is herein described a process for providing improved device performance and fabrication techniques for semiconductors. More particularly, the present invention relates to a process for forming features, such as pixels, on GaN semiconductors using a p-GaN modification and annealing process. The process also relates to a plasma and thermal anneal process which results in a p-GaN modified layer where the annealing simultaneously enables the formation of conductive p-GaNand modified p-GaN regions that behave in an n-like manner and block vertical current flow. The process also extends to Resonant-Cavity Light Emitting Diodes (RCLEDs), pixels with a variety of sizes and electrically insulating planar layer for electrical tracks and bond pads.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2015Publication date: February 16, 2017Applicant: MLED LIMITEDInventors: James Ronald BONAR, Gareth VALENTINE, Stephen Warren GORTON, Zheng GONG, James SMALL

Patent number: 8056860Abstract: A system and method for refueling unmanned aerial vehicles. The system is adapted to refuel a first unmanned aerial vehicle from a second unmanned aerial vehicle and includes an arrangement for flying the first and second vehicles to proximity within a predetermined range and for connecting an umbilical from the second vehicle to the first vehicle in flight. In the illustrative embodiment, the arrangement for connecting includes a targeting system for electromagnetically detecting a refueling receptacle on the first vehicle. The targeting system includes a first coil around a refueling receptacle on the first vehicle. A seeker is disposed at a first end of said umbilical on the second vehicle. The seeker includes three detector coils adapted to detect a magnetic signal from the first coil around the receptacle on the first vehicle. The coils are mounted such that the detector coils point in different directions.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: James Small, Frederick Davidson, Carlos Garcia

Publication number: 20070253715Abstract: An optical communication system is provided which includes an optical signal transmitter which communicates high bandwidth, high power frequencies. The optical signal transmitter includes a high efficiency/high power optical source such as an optical magnetron or a phased array source of electromagnetic radiation, and a modulator element. The modulator element may be within a resonance cavity of the high efficiency/high power optical source (intra cavity) or external to the cavity (extra cavity). The modulator element serves to modulate output radiation of the high efficiency/high power optical source to produce a modulated high frequency optical signal which may be transmitted through the air. The optical signal transmitter is particularly useful in providing the last mile connection between cable service operators and end users.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: RAYTHEON COMPANYInventor: James Small
