  • Publication number: 20230113723
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for adapting the shooting and bouncing rays (SBR) model used in EM field simulation to incorporate incoherent effects of rough surfaces. It introduces a data-driven framework that utilizes on an ensemble of bistatic polarized RCS measurements to characterize the aggregate coherent and incoherent scattering contributions from microscopic surface roughness by compiling field statistics into bidirectional scattering distribution functions (BSDFs). It generalizes an analytical model for rough surface microwave scattering with no assumptions made on surface statistics. The method includes a technique for computing properly correlated fluctuations in the incoherent field across frequency and incident/observation angle. The technique exploits the scale invariance of the incoherent fluctuations to adapt these fluctuations to ray footprints with arbitrary size with the size of the sample surface.

  • Publication number: 20220281197
    Abstract: A method of molding a tire that has a container (12) that includes the steps of placing an uncured tire into a mold, and providing a bladder (16) that has a flexible portion (18) and an insert (20) that has a cavity configured for molding the container into the tire. The bladder has a fluid therein and is inflated within the mold, and material of the uncured tire flows into the cavity of the insert (20). Sufficient heat and pressure is applied to the uncured tire to at least partially cure the tire when the uncured tire is in the mold. The material in the insert (20) forms the container (12) such that the container is integrally formed with other portions of the tire. The mold is opened to retrieve the tire.

  • Patent number: 10523165
    Abstract: A common mode feedback (CMFB) loop for a differential amplifier sense an output common mode of a differential circuit and provides feedback to the gates of tail current transistors. Many CMFB loops cannot easily adjust the output common mode voltage and the output common mode may vary over process, voltage, and temperature. An improved CMFB circuit adds a control circuit to control backgates of tail current transistor device(s) of the differential circuit such that the output common mode voltage can be made adjustable.

  • Patent number: 9431971
    Abstract: In an example, a differential amplifier is disclosed that is configured to realize low noise with decreased overall system current. The differential amplifier may include a first amplifier stage and a second amplifier stage arranged in series, wherein a pull-up current iH flowing as a single bias current iB=iH flows into the first stage. A single pull-down current iT sources to ground from the second stage, wherein iH=iT=iB substantially. In certain embodiments, the transconductance of the second stage may be increased by providing two transconductors coupled at their base nodes.
