  • Publication number: 20160072186
    Abstract: An array antenna system consists of layered construct of subarrays. Each beam pointing angle requires an antenna weight vector (AWV). A circuit tracks the changing orientation of a beam within a much larger virtual array of antenna weights. A row or column of a local RAM may be determined to be least likely to be read next and is overwritten with antenna weights more likely to be read next. An address translation circuit represents the RAM as a barrel. An adaptively adjusted antenna weight method optimizes received signal power. A beam splitting method provides a mirror beam pointing direction by wrapping around a look ahead table of antenna weight vectors when an antenna is itself gyrating or when a remote transceiver is anticipated to transit the horizon.

  • Patent number: 9282623
    Abstract: A device is provided having a flow passage with at least one surface and at least one electrode pair positioned thereon for effecting fluid flow through the flow passage. When at least one electrode of an electrode pair of the at least one electrode pair is powered, a sheath region is generated in the flow passage, wherein the sheath region has a high electric field relative to the remainder of the flow passage. In an embodiment, one electrode of the electrode pair is separated from the other electrode of the electrode pair by a horizontal, vertical, depth, and/or total distance of about 1 microns.

  • Patent number: 9274953
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a memory that is delineated into transparent and non-transparent portions. The transparent portion may be controlled by a control unit coupled to the memory, along with a corresponding tag memory. The non-transparent portion may be software controlled by directly accessing the non-transparent portion via an input address. In an embodiment, the memory may include a decoder configured to decode the address and select a location in either the transparent or non-transparent portion. Each request may include a non-transparent attribute identifying the request as either transparent or non-transparent. In an embodiment, the size of the transparent portion may be programmable. Based on the non-transparent attribute indicating transparent, the decoder may selectively mask bits of the address based on the size to ensure that the decoder only selects a location in the transparent portion.

  • Patent number: 9276435
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for a receiving device to wirelessly receive electric power from a transmitting device. A power capacity is configured at the receiving device, based on a default power capacity known by both the receiving device and the transmitting device. A first value of a dependent parameter is read. The dependent parameter is associated with the electric power and varies in accordance with an independent parameter adjustable by the transmitting device. A second value of the dependent parameter is then read. A maximum power capacity of the transmitting device is identified based on at least the first and second values and a predetermined threshold. The electric power is then received from the transmitting device.

  • Publication number: 20150363028
    Abstract: A 5-wire touch screen system includes a touch screen (10) including a wiper (11) and a resistive layer (16) aligned with the wiper and first (UL), second (UR), third (LR), and fourth (LL) resistive layer contacts, wherein a touch on the screen presses a small portion of the wiper against the resistive layer, producing a touch resistance (RZ) between them at a touch point on the resistive layer. The wiper and various contacts are selectively coupled to first (VDD) and second (GND) reference voltages, respectively, to generate an analog touch voltage (VZ) at the touch point. The wiper and various contacts are selectively coupled to an analog input (56) and a reference voltage input of an ADC (48) for converting the touch voltage (VZ) to a digital representation. Analog voltages (VX) and (VY) at the touch point are converted to corresponding digital representations by the ADC.

  • Publication number: 20150305971
    Abstract: The present invention is a physiological measurement and stimulation device that can autonomously adapt its actuation output behavior based on acquired data in the form of biofeedback sensory measurements. When operating the invention, the user can place the device on the body at the intended area of operation, at which time the physiological measurements sensors can initiate data collection. Either prior to or following this time, the actuator can be activated and controlled manually and/or autonomously per a command signal generated by the control system. The operation of the present invention can be continued until the invention detects that a predetermined threshold has been reached. When the invention is used as a sexual stimulation device, the predetermined threshold can be physiological data corresponding to various stages of arousal or orgasm.

  • Patent number: 9158685
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for utilizing a cache hint mechanism in which a requesting agent can provide hints as to how data corresponding to a request should be cached in a system cache within a memory controller. The way the system cache responds to received requests is determined by the cache hint provided by the originating requesting agent. When a request is accompanied by a de-allocate cache hint, the system cache causes a cache line hit by the request to be de-allocated. For a request with a do not allocate cache hint, the system cache does not allocate a cache line if the request misses in the system cache, and the system cache maintains a given cache line in its current state if the requests hits the given cache line.
