  • Publication number: 20130312260
    Abstract: A method and device for modifying a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The method for modifying a gas turbine engine includes accessing a first outward end of a first tube installed in the gas turbine engine, the first tube having a tube axis. Then attaching an extraction tool to the first outward end of the first tube, and applying an axial force to the first tube using the extraction tool, the axial force relative to the tube axis, thus breaking a first interference seal between a first interface surface on a first inward end of the first tube and a receiving member of the gas turbine engine. The method continues with removing the first tube from the gas turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20130301257
    Abstract: Solid state (e.g., LED) lighting devices include multiple emitters mounted on or over a substrate comprising insulating material with conductive traces thereon, with various emitters being independently controllable with multiple pairs of anodes and cathodes that may be arranged on an opposite surface of the substrate than the emitters. Electrically conductive vias may be defined through the insulating substrate, and a molded lens may be provided over the substrate and emitters mounted thereon. Various combinations of independently controllable emitters or emitter groups may be provided, for example, a red emitter in combination with multiple blue shifted yellow (BSY) emitters, or separately controllable red, green, blue, and white (e.g., BSY) emitters.

  • Patent number: 8570200
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a clock source and an oversampled continuous-time digital-to-analog converter. Noise signal is added to the clock signal as the clock signal is generated and/or routed. The oversampled continuous-time digital-to-analog converter includes a sigma-delta modulator to perform noise shaping on input data samples and provide intermediate data samples; a filter to filter the intermediate data samples and generate filtered samples, the filter having a transfer function that has a stop band at a frequency range that includes the frequency of the noise signal or a component of the noise signal; and a continuous-time digital-to-analog converter to convert the filtered samples to an output analog signal.

  • Patent number: 8502719
    Abstract: A continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter includes a first integrator stage to integrate a difference between a first differential signal derived from a differential analog input signal and a second differential signal derived from a quantized output signal, a quantizer and a low pass filter. The first integrator stage has a differential operational amplifier, first, second, third, and fourth input resistors, and a first pair of integrating capacitors. The differential analog input signal is received at first and second input nodes of the converter. The first and third input resistors are coupled in series between the first input node and a first input of the operational amplifier. The second and fourth input resistors are coupled in series between the second input node and a second input of the operational amplifier. The first and second input resistors are coupled to the third and fourth input resistors, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8489863
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor with an instruction issue queue (IQ) that may perform age tracking operations. The issue queue IQ maintains or stores instructions that may issue out-of-order in an internal data store (IDS). The IDS organizes instructions in a queue position (QPOS) addressing arrangement. An age matrix of the IQ maintains a record of relative instruction aging for those instructions within the IDS. The age matrix updates latches or other memory cell data to reflect the changes in IDS instruction ages during a dispatch operation into the IQ. During dispatch of one or more instructions, the age matrix may update only those latches that require data change to reflect changing IDS instruction ages. The age matrix employs row and column data and clock controls to individually update those latches requiring update.
