Abstract: A cathode conductive strip can be attached to a semiconductor radiation sensor by using a double sided dual adhesive electrically conductive tape in a sensor assembly or a detector module to provide reliable electrical connection between the semiconductor radiation sensor and the cathode conductive strip. The double sided dual adhesive electrically conductive tape includes an electrically conductive backing with two different adhesion strength adhesives on both sides. The high adhesion strength side is bonded to the cathode electrode of the semiconductor radiation sensor. The lower adhesion strength side is bonded to the conductive face of the cathode conductive strip.

Abstract: A multiple heating/cooling zone control system is disclosed. A heating/cooling system control device continuously monitors heating/cooling zone demand and matches the heating/cooling device output capacity to the total space or heat input required. Within the calculated heating/cooling device output capacity the heating/cooling device is modulated based on zone temperature setpoint to further adjust heating/cooling device output. As heat/cooling loss is increased heating/cooling device capacity and modulation are increased. Should heat/cooling loss decrease heating/cooling device capacity and modulation are decreased. Since heat/cooling output is adjusted based on the heat loss(gain) the heating/cooling device can be immediately adjusted to the proper or matching heating/cooling rate even before water/air temperature based adjustments can be made.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively implementing a charging base for a remote control includes a television device that is controlled by the remote control over a wireless RC-TV communications link.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively protecting electronic content information includes a channel setup module that coordinates a channel setup procedure to create a secure communications channel between a content drive and a display module. A source DRM module transmits a special content key from the content drive to the display module over the secure communications channel. A content playback module then initiates a content playback procedure for utilizing the electronic content. The source DRM module responsively encrypts the electronic content with the content key. The channel setup module and the content playback module are unable to access or utilize the content key. A destination DRM module then receives the electronic content over the secure communications channel and utilizes the content key to decrypt the electronic content.

Abstract: This invention is a data processing apparatus which operates on instruction controlling plural processor actions. Each instruction includes a data unit section and a data transfer section. These instruction sections are independent and may include differing options. In the preferred embodiment, each instruction is 64 bits. The data unit section includes a data operation field that indicates the type of arithmetic logic unit operation and six operand fields. The six operand fields include four source data register fields and two destination register fields. The data unit (110) includes a multiplication unit (220) and an arithmetic logic unit (230). The data unit (110) may include a barrel rotator (235) for one input of the arithmetic logic unit (230). The rotated data may be stored in the first destination register instead of the multiply result. The address unit (120) operations according to the data transfer operation field. This could be a load, a store or a register to register move.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus including a multiplier unit forming a product from L bits of each two data buses of N bits each N is greater than L. The multiplier forms a N bit output having a first portion which is the L most significant bits of the of product and a second portion which is M other bits not including the L least significant bits of the product, where N is the sum of M and L. In the preferred embodiment the M other bits are derived from other bits of the two input data busses, such as the M other bits of the first input data bus. An arithmetic logic unit performs parallel operations (addition, subtraction, Boolean functions) controlled by the same instructions. This arithmetic logic unit is divisible into a selected number of sections for performing identical operations on independent sections of its inputs. The multiplier unit may form dual products from separate parts of the input data.
