  • Patent number: 12022609
    Abstract: Power dividers (or splitters) and power combiners may be implemented using distributed lossy transmission lines that dissipate radio frequency (RF) and other electromagnetic (EM) signal energy. By taking advantage of natural PCB board loss at high operating frequencies, N-way power dividers with matched outputs and good isolation may be implemented without the use of discrete resistors. In one embodiment, a N-way power divider may be at least partially implemented on buried printed circuit board (PCB) layers (e.g., partially embedded) and, in a further embodiment a N-way may be implemented in a manner that is completely internal to the PCB (e.g., completely embedded), without the use of discrete resistors.

  • Patent number: 12019154
    Abstract: A system where a large number of underwater devices can transmit their precise position relative to a fixed underwater beacon, by transmitting two short duration, precisely timed acoustic tones (pings). The arrival time of the pulses at the fixed underwater transceiver beacon will relay the transmitter's precise position relative to that beacon. The two pings code for two numbers; either the range and bearing or an X, Y coordinate of each object with respect to the beacon. Data messages can be sent to and received from the beacon, used for command, control and status. The pulses can be a single frequency and have duration of around a 1 ms and operate one or many frequencies to allow multiple cycles to be overlapped in time. This coding scheme allows many devices to send the data simultaneously in the cycle for group tracking from last position or as independent cycles for unambiguous tracking. The transducers used in the system can be omni-directional hydrophones.

  • Patent number: 11985758
    Abstract: Indium-based interface systems, structures, and methods for forming the same are provided. The disclosed indium-based interfaces may be formed as solid structures between two solid surfaces by providing a solid indium-based material between the two surfaces, and heating the indium-based material above its melting point while in contact with each of the two surfaces to cause the indium-based material to reflow or otherwise liquefy between the two surfaces. The indium-based material may then be cooled below its melting point to form a solid interface material structure that is positioned between and in contact with each of the surfaces.

  • Patent number: 11830407
    Abstract: A fault-tolerant display system includes a dual thin film transistor (TFT) panel with pixel cells having two independently-controlled switching transistors; as such, primary source and gate drivers are operative to drive the display with first TFT transistors, while secondary source and gate drivers are operative to drive the display with second TFT transistors. As the display incorporates an additional TFT within the pixel cell which is driven independently, reliability is increased even at the pixel level. In this way, individual pixels of the LCD panel are driven simultaneously and independently by two pairs of source drivers and gate drivers, such that if one of the driver pairs fails due to some fault, the other driver pair can continue to drive the LCD panel without loss of information despite the failure of the first driver pair.
