  • Patent number: 11552186
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices includes third arms. A channel from the first and second arms extends to a channel of the third arm. When a current from a first voltage is flowing from the first arm to the second arm, a flow of ballistic electrons is generated that flow through the third arm channel from the channel of the first and second arms to the third arm channel. A fin structure located in the third arm channel and includes a gate. The gate is controlled using a second voltage over the fin structure, the fin structure is formed to induce an energy-field structure that shifts by an amount of the second voltage to control an opening of the gate that the flow of ballistic electrons pass through, which in turn changes a depletion width, subjecting the ballistic electrons to diffraction, and then interference.

  • Patent number: 11211482
    Abstract: An AND-gate device having a structure arms, a channel from a first arm and a second arm extends to a channel of a third arm. When a current from a first voltage flowing from a first electrode of the first arm to a second electrode of the second arm, a flow of electrons is generated that flows through the third arm channel from the channel of the first and second arms to the third arm channel. At least two input structures are positioned in series in the third arm. Each input structure includes a fin structure having a gate controlled by an individual voltage applied to an electrode which induces an electric-field structure that shifts by an amount of the voltage. The controllable gate opening changes a depletion width, causing an amount of flow of ballistic electrons to pass through the channel. A sensor detects the ballistic electrons.

  • Patent number: 11152471
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices including a first region having a first three Nitride (III-N) layer and a second III-N layer, the second III-N layer is over the first III-N. The second III-N layer has spontaneous polarization less than the first III-N layer, such that a two-dimensional hole gas (2-DHG) will be formed at a junction of the first III-N layer to the second III-N layer. An Anode forms an ohmic contact to the 2-DHG. A second region includes a third III-N layer and a forth III-N layer, such that the fourth III-N layer is over the third III-N. The forth III-N layer has spontaneous polarization greater than the third III-N layer, such that two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) will be formed at a junction of the third III-N layer to the forth III-N layer. A Cathode forms an ohmic contact to the 2-DEG. The first and second regions are connected at an interface.

  • Patent number: 11099101
    Abstract: A system for estimating a severity of a bearing fault in an induction motor, uses a set of filters and a set of quantitative models designed for a set of fault frequencies. The system, upon receiving the measurements of the stator current, extracts the first fault current from the stator current using the first filter, determine the first mutual inductance variation from the first fault current using the first quantitative model, and classify the first mutual inductance variation with the fault severity classifier to determine the severity of a first type of fault in the induction motor. Similarly, the system classifies a second type of fault using the second filter and the second quantitative model. The system outputs one or combination of the severity of the first type of fault in the induction motor and the severity of the second type of fault in the induction motor.
