  • Patent number: 10199426
    Abstract: Various optoelectronic modules are described that include an optoelectronic device (e.g., a light emitting or light detecting element) and a transparent cover. Non-transparent material is provided on the sidewalls of the transparent cover, which, in some implementations, can help reduce light leakage from the sides of the transparent cover or can help prevent stray light from entering the module. Fabrication techniques for making the modules also are described.

  • Patent number: 10186540
    Abstract: Optoelectronic modules include an optoelectronic device and a transparent cover. A non-transparent material is provided on the sidewalls of the transparent cover, which can help reduce light leakage from the sides of the transparent cover or can help reduce stray light from entering the module. The modules can be fabricated, for example, in wafer-level processes. In some implementations, openings such as trenches are formed in a transparent wafer. The trenches then can be filled with a non-transparent material using, for example, a vacuum injection tool. When a wafer-stack including the trench-filled transparent wafer subsequently is separated into individual modules, the result is that each module can include a transparent cover having sidewalls that are covered by the non-transparent material.

  • Patent number: 9992724
    Abstract: A mobile vehicle communications system adapted to perform a method of cellular reselection using vehicle telematics unit coupled to a vehicle antenna. The method includes: performing a measurement of a reference signal from a serving cell that is connected to the telematics unit; determining whether to perform a measurement of a target cell based on both a serving cell signal strength value (Srxlev) and a measured serving cell signal quality value (Qqualmeas); and when the measurement of the target cell is performed, then determining whether to reselect to the target cell based on cell selection values of the serving and target cells.

  • Patent number: 9799890
    Abstract: Provided is a carbon substrate for a gas diffusion layer of a fuel cell. The carbon substrate has a structure, in which a plurality of unit carbon substrates are stacked. Each of the unit carbon substrates is a plate type substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. Carbon fibers are randomly arranged on the first surface of the each unit carbon substrate. The number of the carbon fibers arranged in a machine direction of the unit carbon substrate is greater than the number of carbon fibers arranged in a transverse direction of the unit carbon substrate from the first surface to the second surface along a thickness direction of the unit carbon substrate; and, accordingly, an orientation gradient, in which the orientation in the machine direction increases from the first surface to the second surface, is shown.

  • Patent number: 9348603
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus and a booting method are provided. The electronic apparatus comprises a processing unit, a firmware unit and a memory. In the booting method, a boot code is read from the firmware unit by the processing unit for executing a booting initialization procedure. Whether a new version firmware code exists in a first block of the memory is determined by the boot code. If the new version firmware code exists in the first block, the new version firmware code is loaded into a second block of the memory by the boot code, and the new version firmware code is read from the second block so as to execute a booting procedure for loading an operating system.
