  • Patent number: 10741687
    Abstract: A trench DMOS transistor with a very low on-state drain-to-source resistance and a high gate-to-drain charge includes one or more floating islands that lie between the gate and drain to reduce the charge coupling between the gate and drain, and effectively lower the gate-to-drain capacitance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2020
    Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED

  • Publication number: 20150220760
    Abstract: Technology for enhancing the security of content on an electronic display is described. In some embodiments, the technology utilizes infrared light emitted from an infrared light source integrated into an electronic display to produce infrared security indicia. The infrared security indicia may obscure all or a portion of a recording of the electronic display produced by an electronic recording device that includes a photodetector sensitive to infrared and visible light.

  • Patent number: 7411904
    Abstract: A technique for managing network traffic is disclosed. According to the technique, a set of VLAN IDs is explicitly identified for use with a first service. The rest of the customer traffic is considered as part of a default service. Traffic that is received at a PE from a customer is examined to identify whether or not the traffic belongs to the first service. For example, the VLAN ID and incoming port of a packet is compared to the set of VLAN IDs that were allocated to the first service on the respective port. Traffic that is identified as belonging to the first service is “extracted” from the default service and forwarded on a path that is related to the first service. The remaining traffic is forwarded on a path that is related to the default service. The service extraction technique can be implemented across an MPLS domain.
