Eira Tuulia Seppala has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9319043
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus comprising a differential driver module configured to generate at least one differential signal having steep rise and fall times for at least partially reducing common-mode noise. The invention also relates to a method for causing the differential driver to generate the signal and a system comprising the differential driver and a conductor module for transmission of the generated differential signal. A computer program for performing the method and a computer-readable medium is also part of the invention.

  • Patent number: 8558287
    Abstract: An apparatus including a first electrode portion configured to inject charge carriers; a second electrode portion configured to collect charge carriers and provide an output signal; a third electrode portion configured to collect charge carriers and provide an output signal; a monolithic semiconductor, providing a first channel for the transport of injected charge carriers between the first electrode portion and the second electrode portion and providing a second channel for the transport of injected charge carriers between the first electrode portion and the third electrode portion, wherein the first channel is configured such that a charge carrier injected at the first electrode portion will reach the second electrode portion via the first channel after a first transport time and the second channel is configured such that a charge carrier injected at the first electrode portion will reach the third electrode portion via the second channel after a second transport time greater than the first transport time;

  • Patent number: 8421440
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a nano-scale spectrum sensor configured to be electromagnetically excitable at a predetermined frequency based on received ambient electromagnetic radiation. The apparatus is also configured to be able to use this excitation of the nano-scale spectrum sensor to thereby determine ambient electromagnetic radiation spectrum usage.
