  • Patent number: 7722695
    Abstract: A neem based composition for coating nitrogenous fertilizer. The composition comprises 2-10 percent by weight neem extract, 10-60 percent by weight neem oil, 10-25 percent by weight binder and 25-50 percent by weight organic solvent. Also a method of making the composition by mixing the ingredients, a method of coating a nitrogenous fertilizer by mixing it with 0.5 to 1.0 percent by weight of the neem based composition and nitrogenous fertilizer coated with 0.5 to 1.0 percent by weight of the neem based composition.

  • Patent number: 7612703
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an analog-to-digital converter, especially to a pipelined analog-to-digital converter with calibration of capacitor mismatch and finite gain error. Comparing with the conventional pipelined analog-to-digital converter, the new analog-to-digital converter comprises more circuit blocks including an extra sub-converter stage, a control clock generator and an error detector, resulting in that each sub-converter stage has two operation modes: normal conversion mode and calibration mode. All of the sub-converter stages share one error detector which amplifies the output of the sub-converter stage in calibration mode. Furthermore, to store the output of the error detector, a memory is used in each sub-converter stage for controlling the gain of amplifier in order to make the error generated by the finite gain of amplifier and the error generated by the capacitance mismatch have the same size but opposite sign.

  • Patent number: 7590341
    Abstract: A camera module including: a lens portion including at least one lens; an imaging element; a fixed portion; a first elastic body that is provided on a side opposite to the imaging element side with respect to the lens and couples the lens portion and the fixed portion; and a second elastic body that is provided on the imaging element side with respect to the lens and couples the lens portion and the fixed portion. The first elastic body and the second elastic body have the same shape. The first elastic body and the second elastic body are arranged so as to oppose each other while sharing a common central axis. The second elastic body is arranged so that so that the shape of the second elastic body is different from a shape of the first elastic body projected in the optical axis direction of the lens.

  • Patent number: 7400953
    Abstract: A vehicle meter unit has a control unit and a controller area network (CAN) constituting a communications network. On-vehicle systems such as an engine control system, anti-lock braking system and electric power steering system are also provided with CANs and fault diagnostic functions for decentralized control. Faults in the systems are displayed in fault codes through the control unit on a liquid crystal display on which the indications of an odometer and trip recorder are displayed.
