Patent number: 11976213Abstract: Methods and high visible-light reflective reactive resinous coatings that increase visible light inside a grow house and enhance plant growth therein. A pre-dispersion of a resin, zinc oxide, one or more fillers, and retroreflective microspheres, is mixed with a one-part or two-part reactive coating system to provide a high-reflectance reactive resin coating composition. At least one or more layers of the high-reflectance reactive resin coating composition is coated onto a substrate inside the grow house and allowed to cure. The cured high-reflectance reactive resin layer has a light reflectance increase up to 60% in lumens increasing an amount of visible light inside the grow house to enhance plant growth.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Laticrete International, Inc.Inventors: Ayaz Kutubuddin, Brandon Serraile, Eerik Maandi, Ben Lampi, Aaron Hogan

Patent number: 9377493Abstract: Apparatus and methods of de-convolution for multi-phase scans of an array of electrodes are described. One programmable circuit includes a sequencer to initiate a multi-phase transmit (TX) scan of an array of electrodes to obtain capacitance data. The capacitance data is stored in one or more storage devices as convoluted capacitance data. The programmable circuit also includes a digital circuit block to read the convoluted capacitance data from the one or more storage devices, de-convolve the convoluted capacitance data to obtain de-convoluted capacitance data, and store the de-convoluted capacitance data in the one or more storage devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: PARADE TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Aaron Hogan, Jan-Willem van de Waerdt, Colm O'Keeffe, Viktor Kremin, Volodymyr Bihday, Paul Kelleher

Patent number: 8947377Abstract: A system and method for synchronization of touch-panel devices is described. In one embodiment, the system includes a first controller device configured to control operations of a first portion of a touch-panel device such that the first controller device is further configured to generate a single master timing signal. The single master timing signal is configured to synchronize operation of the first controller device and a second controller device that is configured to control operations of a second portion of a touch-panel device.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Hans Van Antwerpen, Scott Swindle, Aaron Hogan, Paul Kelleher

Publication number: 20140316729Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of hardware de-convolution for multi-phase scanning of a touch arrays are described. One apparatus includes a memory device configured to store a capacitance map including convolved capacitance data. The convolved data are results of multi-phase transmit (TX) scanning of a sense array with multiple TX patterns. The apparatus further comprises a de-convolution circuit block coupled to the memory device. The de-convolution circuit block is configured to de-convolve the convolved capacitance data with inverses of the multiple TX patterns to obtain capacitance data for a de-convolved capacitance map.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2013Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Viktor Kremin, Volodymyr Bihday, Jan-Willem Waerdt, Colm O'Keeffe, Aaron Hogan, Paul Kelleher
