Patent number: 11955166Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include signal processing methods to precondition signals for transmission on a high speed bus. A preconditioning circuit is configured to receive a serialized data signal at an input node and to precondition the serialized output data signal to provide a preconditioned output signal at an output node. The pre-conditioning circuit may include a feedback circuit coupled between the input node and the output node that is configured to independently control both of a propagation delay between the output node and the input node and a magnitude of emphasis/de-emphasis applied to a signal at the output node for provision to the input node.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Atsushi Mamba, Tetsuya Arai, Guangcan Chen

Publication number: 20240106249Abstract: A battery pack and a method of diagnosing a failure of an overcurrent detection circuit are provided to diagnosing the overcurrent detection circuit so as to maintain the overcurrent detection circuit in a safe state. A detection signal output from a current detection element connected to an output side of a battery unit is compared with a threshold value. An overcurrent is detected when the detection signal indicates an overcurrent value exceeding the threshold value. In the method, a failure of the overcurrent detection circuit is detected by inputting an overcurrent diagnostic signal to the overcurrent detection circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: ATSUSHI SUYAMA, KAZUYA MAEGAWA, YUJI ARAI

Patent number: 11931936Abstract: In an injection process, molten resin is successively injected from a first flow channel and a second flow channel connected with each other in order into a cavity of a metal mold. High-temperature resin existing in the first flow channel is injected in advance into the cavity as a part of a single shot of molten resin to later form a skin layer of a molded article. Other low temperature resin near a flowable limit existing in the second flow channel is subsequently injected into the cavity as another part of the single shot of molten resin to later form a core layer of the molded article. A low temperature resin remaining in the first flow channel when injection is completed is warmed to be a high-temperature resin before the next cycle, thereby allowing successive molding of molded articles.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Tohru Higuchi, Masato Ichikawa, Tsuyoshi Arai, Jun Hasebe, Atsushi Kawamura, Tomoyoshi Murata
