  • Patent number: 12136615
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an electronic package with an interposer between integrated circuit dies. At least one inner capacitor (e.g., single layer capacitor) is mounted to the interposer. The electronic package further includes an input passive circuit substrate and an output passive circuit substrate mechanically coupled to the metal base. Use of an interposer to be simultaneously solder attached with integrated circuit dies provides a configuration that improves linearity performance and/or wide video bandwidth of the electronic package (e.g., packages that use epoxy and laminate interposers). Further, such configuration facilitates efficient manufacturing of the electronic package at high volumes.

  • Patent number: 12050353
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes a cable jacket having a first inner surface and a first outer surface. The first inner surface defines a central bore along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable also includes optical fibers disposed within the central bore and a buffer tube surrounding the optical fibers. The buffer tube has a second inner surface and a second outer surface. The optical fiber cable also includes an armor layer disposed between the first inner surface of the cable jacket and the second outer surface of the buffer tube and a water-blocking adhesive disposed between the armor layer and the first outer surface of the buffer tube. The water-blocking adhesive extends along the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable and around a circumference of the buffer tube.

  • Patent number: 10301017
    Abstract: The present application discloses an apparatus capable of walking and flight. This apparatus includes a central section supported by a plurality of limbs, wherein a distal end of each of the plurality of limbs defines a contact surface. These limbs are configured to generate a walking-type motion in which the contact surfaces of the limbs cooperate with an environmental surface in a manner sufficient to propel the central section relative the environmental surface. The apparatus further includes a motor operably coupled to at least one limb of the plurality of limbs, wherein the motor is drivingly coupled to a propeller, and wherein the motor and propeller are configured to propel the central section in flight.

  • Patent number: 10254089
    Abstract: The disclosure is premised on the realization that despite the apparent convenience, safety and effectiveness possible by use of a less-lethal weapon incorporated into the foregrip of a two-handed weapon, no major police department, government agency, or military unit deploys such a system. This deficiency can be remedied by the disclosed device, which comprises a less-lethal weapon system that employs industry-standard components, and is effective and easy to use. The disclosed invention mounts a standard-size incapacitant canister in the handgrip portion of a foregrip. The foregrip is secured to the firearm by a standard rail system, and uses standard trigger and safety configurations. The canister magazine allows for efficient loading and reloading of the incapacitant, and the canister mounting angle allows for effective use. Further, some embodiments of the invention may include an accessory mounting area in which a tactical flashlight or laser may be mounted.

  • Patent number: 9652594
    Abstract: A medication storage and dispensing workstation for use in a medication management system administering the inventory and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies in a healthcare environment is disclosed. The workstation incorporates a linear drawer assembly having a plurality of discrete, removable, storage modules for containing medications and/or other medical supplies. The storage modules are arranged in a linear array extending longitudinally along the travel path of the linear drawer assembly. Each storage module, in turn, comprises a drawer that is extensible laterally relative to the linear arrangement of the storage modules. As such, the drawer assemblies comprise a compartmentalized “drawer-in-drawer” arrangement that provides an efficient use of storage space and enables a user to utilize the workstation in a workspace having a smaller footprint that traditional storage cabinet apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9507369
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes monitoring a temperature of a semiconductor chip and adjusting a supply voltage to the semiconductor chip based on the monitored temperature. The temperature may be monitored by a temperature sensor located on-chip or off-chip. Adjusting the supply voltage includes increasing the supply voltage as a function of the monitored temperature decreasing. The increase to the supply voltage occurs only if the monitored temperature is below a threshold temperature. The supply voltage adjustment is determined by a linear relationship having a negative slope with temperature.
