  • Patent number: 10631375
    Abstract: Battery charge function may be in an LED driver which eliminates the duplication of line interface circuitry. A single line interface circuit provides the input power conversion for both the battery charge function and normal operation of the LED driver. During a loss of power, the LEDs may be controlled using power from the battery backup module.

  • Publication number: 20200117100
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products generally include a vector by vector subtraction method per wafer. A first layer is exposed to form a pattern image on a wafer and the overlay data of alignment registration marks at multiple locations relative to alignment registration marks of a baseline reference are measured. The first layer is then reworked and exposed to form the same pattern image and the overlay data of alignment registration marks at multiple locations relative to alignment registration marks of a first layer are measured. The overlay data of the reworked first layer is subtracted from the overlay data of the first layer to provide an overlay difference at each of the multiple locations. The overlay difference is converted to a pre-correction factor of a magnitude opposite that of the overlay difference and is applied to exposure of a second layer provided on the first layer.

  • Publication number: 20200115966
    Abstract: A connector for a coiled tubing end anchors internally and seals externally. The anchor profile is split with a gap to clear an internal spline without need to remove the spline to allow a seal to enter the coiled tubing since the seal is mounted internally to a sleeve that envelops the end of the coiled tubing. Component relative rotation extends the internal anchor radially against the coiled tubing inner wall to secure the connection with the seal engaged to the coiled tubing outer wall.

  • Publication number: 20200114270
    Abstract: A system for waterparks or other uses wherein the system combines an electric pump system that can draw water from a lake, a pool or the sea, and pump it through a hose system and sprinklers that can wet objects on or in the water such as a waterpark. It can be connected to floating platforms or other structures that can elevate the sprinklers off the water. The system features an inflatable platform that has an inflatable tower that allows a hose to extend from underwater, through the center of the tower, to a spray nozzle atop the tower that sprays water in any direction. The system can also be attached to any other waterpark structure with various fittings. This will allow a slow drip of water on some items so as to keep them slippery and wet.

  • Publication number: 20200111924
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating solar cells using UV-curing of light-receiving surfaces of the solar cells, and the resulting solar cells, are described herein. In an example, a method of fabricating a solar cell includes forming a passivating dielectric layer on a light-receiving surface of a silicon substrate. The method also includes forming an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer below the passivating dielectric layer. The method also includes exposing the ARC layer to ultra-violet (UV) radiation. The method also includes, subsequent to exposing the ARC layer to ultra-violet (UV) radiation, thermally annealing the ARC layer.

  • Patent number: 10582298
    Abstract: A directional acoustic device with an acoustic source or an acoustic receiver and a conduit to which the acoustic source or acoustic receiver is acoustically coupled and within which acoustic energy travels in a propagation direction from the acoustic source or to the acoustic receiver. The conduit has a radiating portion that has a radiating surface with leak openings that define controlled leaks through which acoustic energy radiated from the source into the conduit can leak to the outside environment or through which acoustic energy in the outside environment can leak into the conduit. The radiating surface has a thin sheet with openings through the sheet, and a cover material with a greater acoustic resistance than an acoustic resistance of an opening. The cover material covers at least parts of at least some of the openings, to define controlled acoustic leaks into or out of the conduit.
