  • Patent number: 11847181
    Abstract: A “while away” canvas is described herein. A client computing device detects that a page that comprises search results is displayed on a display of the client computing device, wherein the search results were identified based upon a query received from the client computing device. The client computing device subsequently detects that focus of the user has left the page. Upon detecting that focus of the user has returned to the page, the client computing device updates the page to include the “while away” canvas, which identifies additional search results (based upon the query) that were published after the page that comprises the search results was initially displayed.

  • Publication number: 20230060711
    Abstract: A core-shell nanofin vertical switch performs high-voltage switching and includes: an n-type GaN nanofin core including: an n-type drift layer; an n-type channel; and an n-type source; a p-type nanofin shell surrounding the n-type GaN nanofin core at an interface surface of the n-type GaN nanofin core, and comprising GaN; an optional source contact disposed on the n-type GaN nanofin core and the p-type nanofin shell and in electrical communication with the n-type source, such that the n-type source is interposed between the source contact and the n-type channel; and a gate contact disposed on the p-type nanofin shell and in electrical communication with the p-type nanofin shell, such that the p-type nanofin shell is interposed between the gate contact and the n-type channel, and the gate contact is interposed between the source contact and a drain contact.

  • Publication number: 20210192571
    Abstract: A content publisher incorporates a script into a web page. The script consumes an event raised in response a user submitting a query. The script captures the query and related information and sends the captured query and information to a search provider, either directly or through the content publisher. The search provider uses the query and information to identify both the content publisher and branding information associated with the content publisher. An iframe is assembled by the search provider that contains current results from the content publisher as well as web results. The iframe is branded with the content publisher branding information and returned to the user, either directly or through the content publisher. The resultant search experience appears as if it were provided by the content publisher.

  • Patent number: 8138846
    Abstract: A frequency-control circuit, which is configured to receive a first signal having a first untuned frequency from a first oscillator, and to alter one or more pulses of the first signal to tune an output frequency of an output clock signal to have an average frequency at the desired target frequency. In some embodiments, the frequency-control circuit receives a signal from a single oscillator to generate a calibrated, precise, and temperature-stable clock.

  • Patent number: 8115366
    Abstract: A transducer is optimally driven at or near its resonant frequency by a driver system that adapts to variations and/or changes to the resonant frequency of the transducer due to variations in piezo materials, manufacturing, assembly, component tolerances, and/or operational conditions. The system may include an output controller, a phase track controller, a frequency generator, a drive, circuitry to determine a phase angle between the transducer voltage and transducer current, and circuitry to obtain transducer admittance from the transducer voltage and transducer current.

  • Patent number: 7764131
    Abstract: A frequency-control circuit, which is configured to receive a first signal having a first untuned frequency from a first oscillator, and to alter one or more pulses of the first signal to tune an output frequency of an output clock signal to have an average frequency at the desired target frequency. In some embodiments, the two oscillators of intentionally different frequencies are periodically switched at a duty factor, which is dependent on an absolute temperature, to generate a calibrated, precise, and temperature-stable clock.

  • Patent number: 5619842
    Abstract: The method of the present invention for bagging pre-silage, has the steps of (a) receiving a bale of pre-silage from a loader, (b) compressing the bale in at least one cross section dimension to fit into a bag, and (c) advancing the compressed bale into the bag. The apparatus of the present invention for bagging baled pre-silage, has (a) a support frame having a plurality of lateral walls. The lateral walls define a rear opening to which a bag is attached, and a front opening through which is received the baled pre-silage. At least one of the lateral walls is reversibly movable in a direction toward an opposite lateral wall for compressing or squeezing the baled pre-silage to a size that will fit into the bag. The front opening has a closure and ram for enclosing the baled pre-silage and applying the ram to advnce the compressed baled pre-silage through the rear opening and into the bag.
