  • Patent number: 12295181
    Abstract: An electrical power converter can include a plurality of layers disposed on a substrate. An emitter, including a first semiconductor junction that is formed at an interface between a first pair of adjacent layers, can produce light in response to a first electrical signal. An absorber, including a second semiconductor junction that is formed at an interface between a second pair of adjacent layers, can absorb at least some of the light. Circuitry can produce a second electrical signal in response to the absorbed light. The second electrical signal can be substantially proportional to the first electrical signal and can be electrically isolated from the first electrical signal. Because the light can remain within the layers during use, the electrical power converter can have a higher efficiency than a comparable device that propagates the light through at least one interface between air and a semiconductor material.

  • Patent number: 12291761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical and physical hydrometallurgical method with solid-liquid-solid interaction for the solubilization of copper sulphides, by Selective Transformation and Precipitation of soluble, chlorinated, copper species, where said method does not depend on the redox potential and can be carried out in a wide range of pH under conditions of salts supersaturation, which is a condition that is generated by periods of non-irrigation, from ores or copper concentrates, mainly primary sulphides, such as chalcopyrite comprising said copper. This method is composed of 3 steps, called “Moistening and Solvation Step”, “Selective Transformation and Precipitation Step” and “Acid-Chlorinated Washing step”, wherein said method does neither require the addition of oxidizing or reducing agents, nor oxygen. Furthermore, the steps of the method can be applied only with the presence of water, where acid addition is not required.

  • Patent number: 12292498
    Abstract: An extension of the LoRa modulation with an improved ranging mode. A master and a slave device exchange a request and a reply that contain sequences of chirps that are carefully aligned in time, frequency, and preferably also phase, such that the master device can ascertain the propagation delay to the slave by demodulating the reply. Request and reply include chirps having different slopes, preferably slopes of equal absolute value and opposite sign. The slope diversity permits an unbiased estimation of the Doppler shift.

  • Patent number: 12291984
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a sensor signal of an exhaust NOx sensor, which is disposed downstream of a three-way catalytic converter in an exhaust system of a spark ignition internal combustion engine. An ammonia factor is modeled downstream of the three-way catalytic converter using an ammonia formation model. A NOx emission is modeled in the exhaust system downstream of the three-way catalytic converter using a NOx model. The modeled ammonia emissions and the modeled NOx emission are separated by a separation algorithm using the sensor signal of the exhaust NOx sensor. The separation algorithm provides quantitative information about the tailpipe ammonia emissions and the tailpipe NOx emissions of the spark ignition internal combustion engine. An engine control unit and an internal combustion engine for carrying out such a method are also provided.
