Manufacture and use of planar embedded magnetics as discrete components and in integrated connectors
Patent number: 8203418Abstract: The current invention provides an integrated planar transformer and electronic component that includes at least one wideband planar transformer disposed in a planar substrate, where each wideband planar transformer includes a planar substrate in a fully-cured and rigid state, a ferrite material embedded in the planar substrate, where the ferrite material is enveloped in an elastic and non-conductive material, inter-wound conductors disposed around the embedded ferrite material, where top and bottom conductors are bonded by an insulating adhesive. The top and bottom conductors are connected in an inter-connected pattern by conductive vias disposed on each side of the ferrite material and span through the layers to the conductors. The planar transformer further includes at least one center tap connected to at least one inter-wound conductor.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: PlanarMag, Inc.Inventors: William Lee Harrison, Anh-Vu Pham, James E.

Patent number: 7821374Abstract: A method of arranging and fabricating parallel primary and secondary coils of a wideband planar transformer is provided. The spacing and width of the coils are disposed to extend the bandwidth from DC to GHz and allow for high frequency coupling when the core permeability dramatically drops and achieves low reflected energy and low loss over a wide bandwidth. A bottom mold having a pattern of hole-pairs with conductive elements inserted vertically couples to a top mold such that a middle portion of the conductive elements spans between the top and bottom molds. Dielectric material envelopes the middle portion and a displacement feature of the mold creates a vacancy. A ferrite element is deposited to the vacancy. A second top mold spans the bottom mold and dielectric material is deposited to create a molded assembly. A deposited patterned conductive coating connects the element ends to define the transformer coils.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2008Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: KeyEye CommunicationsInventors: William Lee Harrison, Stephen M. McConnell, Anh-Vu Pham

Patent number: 7809275Abstract: This disclosure concerns transceivers that include CDR bypass functionality. In one example, a 10 G XFP transceiver module includes integrated CDR functionality for reducing jitter. The 10 G XFP transceiver module also implements CDR bypass functionality so that the CDR can be bypassed at rate less than about 10 Gb/s, such as the Fibre Channel 8.5 Gb/s rate for example.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2005Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Finisar CorporationInventors: Lewis B. Aronson, Thomas Gordon Beck Mason, Yuxin Zhou, Huy Anh Vu, Giorgio Giaretta, Jiashu Chen

Patent number: 7731499Abstract: An ultrasound simulator to train radiologists and technologists to locate and recognize patent and fused cranial sutures. The model is formed, for example, using specially fabricated heads or from life-sized plastic doll heads. Simulated suture lines are cut in the heads in anatomically correct positions. The typical end-to-end morphology of the sagittal and metopic sutures and the typical beveled appearance of the paired coronal and lambdoid sutures are created by angling the cutting blade. The hypoechoic appearance of patent sutures in ultrasound images is simulated by filling the gaps that were formed by cutting with a hypoechoic material. Fused echoic sutures are simulated by leaving that portion of the doll's head uncut, or by filling the openings with an echoic material. When imaged using ultrasound, the portions cut and filled with a hypoechoic material are readily distinguishable from uncut portions, and from portions cut and filled with an echoic material.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: University of WashingtonInventors: Raymond W. Sze, Anh-Vu Ngo

Publication number: 20070086352Abstract: The invention relates to a method of monitoring multimedia stream exchange session initialization messages transmitted in packet mode via a monitoring server over a network between a sender terminal and one or more receiver terminals. Said method comprises a step (50) of estimating a bit rate value for at least one initialization packet received by the monitoring server, a step (52) of comparing said value to a maximum authorized bit rate value, and a step (40) of authorizing transmission of the initialization packet only if the bit rate value for said packet does not exceed the maximum authorized bit rate value. The estimated bit rate value is optionally an average value that is measured over a sliding time window. The invention also relates to a server and an installation for carrying out the method of the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2004Publication date: April 19, 2007Applicant: France TelecomInventors: Stephane Tuffin, Sophie Aveline, Kim-Anh-Vu Nguyen

Patent number: 7074734Abstract: Zeolite membranes that can be used to continuously separate components of mixtures are disclosed. The zeolite membranes are prepared by isomorphous substitution, which allows systematic modification of the zeolite surface and pore structure. Through proper selection of the basic zeolite framework structure and compensating cations, isomorphous substitution permits high separation selectivity without many of the problems associated with zeolite post-synthesis treatments. The inventive method for preparing zeolite membranes is alkali-free and is much simpler than prior methods for making acid hydrogen zeolite membranes, which can be used as catalysts in membrane reactors.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2004Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: The Regents of The University of Colorado, a body corporateInventors: Tuan Anh Vu, Richard D.

Publication number: 20060033826Abstract: The present invention includes an imaging apparatus having an imaging array, readout amplifier, and controller. The imaging array includes a plurality of pixels that accumulate charge when exposed to light. The readout amplifier receives charge from the pixels and generates a pixel signal indicative of the amount of charge received. The controller causes the charge from a plurality of the pixels to be added together to form a sum charge that is received by the readout amplifier. The imaging array can include a plurality of columns of pixels, and the controller causes the charge from a plurality of pixels in one of the columns to be added together to form a partial sum charge that is included in the sum charge. The readout amplifier can include a horizontal shift register, and the partial sum charge can be generated in the shift cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2004Publication date: February 16, 2006Inventors: Xinqiao Liu, David Wen, Anh Vu, Steven Onishi, Charles Arduini

Publication number: 20050274873Abstract: An imaging array having a CCD imaging array that includes a plurality of pixels that accumulate charge when exposed to light and a readout amplifier is disclosed. The readout amplifier includes an operational amplifier having an input and an output port and a feedback capacitor connecting the input and output ports and a variable impedance path between the input and output ports, the path having an impedance controlled by a reset signal. A reset signal generator generates the reset signal in three sequential phases in which the path between the input and output ports has three impedance values to provide a starting voltage at the amplifier input prior to the measurement of charge from each pixel that has reduced noise.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2004Publication date: December 15, 2005Inventors: Xinqiao Liu, David Wen, Anh Vu, Steven Onishi, Charles Arduini
