Abstract: An embedded high frequency RFID system, method and device comprises a PCB having a non-conductive substrate and conductive traces on the substrate. The non-conductive substrate mechanically supports the PCB and the conductive traces electrically couple electronic components (e.g. microchips, resistors, capacitors) on the board together such that the PCB is able to operate. Additionally, the PCB beneficially comprises a high frequency RFID tag that is embedded within the PCB itself and locked in place by a non-conductive adhesive. As a result, the embedded high frequency RFID system, method and device enables each PCB to store data which gives each PCB sold to a customer a unique ID, which can be read over the life of the product.

Abstract: An energy-efficient ventilation system comprises a ventilation fan, ductwork, system controller, and a plurality of ventilation points, each comprising a damper, a differential pressure sensor, a ventilation point controller, and a fume detector. When a ventilation point does not require ventilation, a signal is sent to the system controller to reduce the ventilation fan speed thereby using only as much energy as is needed to provide service to the ventilation points that need ventilation. The fume detector, damper, and differential pressure sensor for each ventilation point are used to determine whether ventilation is needed at a ventilation point and to control the ventilation point accordingly.

Abstract: A method of and a system for making LED comprising concurrently forming multiple dam structures on a whole silicon wafer using a liquid transfer mold, attaching dies to the silicon wafer inside each of the dam structure, performing flux reflow, cleaning flux, performing wire bonding, dispensing phosphor, curing the phosphor, concurrently forming dome structures by using a liquid transfer mold on all of the dam structures, mounting wafer, and using a saw for single or multiple LED(s) singulation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems and methods for automatically predicting production yield for a circuit assembly according to attributes of its components and defect data mapped thereto. Embodiments receive a proposed design specification for a circuit assembly, including bill of materials (BOM) and schematic data, at a yield prediction environment. The yield prediction environment maps a set of attributes to each component in the BOM and maps a set of possible defects to each component according to its attributes. Defects may be further mapped to a manufacturing process assigned to populate each component in the circuit assembly. The defects are associated with predicted frequencies of occurrence, which can be used to roll up a yield prediction for the circuit assembly. Embodiments further allow “what-if” analyses to be performed so that different yield prediction results can be compared according to different form factor options and/or different manufacturing process options.

Abstract: An AC-to-DC power converter configured to provide power factor correction and a single isolated low-voltage output. The power converter includes a single-stage resonant power converter including an isolation transformer, a resonant tank, a rectifier, and a bulk storage capacitor coupled to an output of the isolation transformer. In typical applications, at least one non-isolated power converter is coupled to the output of the single-stage isolated power factor correction converter.

Abstract: A device enclosure includes a clad metal shell having a plurality of mounting structures attached thereto. Methods for manufacturing the device enclosure are also disclosed. In a particular method, the mounting structures are formed on a surface of the clad metal shell by nano molding technology. Alternatively, the mounting structures are formed by molding before being attached to the clad metal shell by an adhesive.

Abstract: A remote control of the present invention automatically identifies one or more peripheral devices which need to be programmed with the remote control. In some embodiments, the remote control is able to visually identify a peripheral device from an image, obtain the configuration information for the peripheral device, and program itself in the background according to the configuration information. These tasks are advantageously performed by the remote control, without user input. The remote control can be programmed to support a plurality of peripheral devices. When the remote control is used to control a peripheral device, the remote control will first present a selection list on the display screen. The selection list includes all the peripheral devices that the remote is communicatively coupled with. Upon the user selecting the desired peripheral device to be controlled, the remote control dynamically outputs a customized user interface associated with the selected peripheral device.

Abstract: An all-in-one computer system comprising: a base panel having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a screen panel coupled to and extending from the base panel, the screen panel comprising a screen. In some embodiments, a speaker system is coupled to the bottom surface of the base panel to provide a stand on which the base panel can be supported at an angle with respect to a resting surface, wherein the speaker system is configured to be adjusted along the bottom surface of the base panel to adjust the angle at which the base panel is supported. In some embodiments, a processing unit is communicatively coupled to the tilt sensor and to the screen, wherein the processing unit is configured to switch the screen between a touch mode and a non-touch mode based on the angle sensed by the tilt sensor.
