  • Publication number: 20180206475
    Abstract: A chemical application detection system and mobile visual sensing technology utilizes drones, ground robotics, or fixed camera with a GPS system and a UV sensing camera. The detection device senses a color hue of one or more additives combined with a chemical treatment applied to a field above or below the canopy. The detected information is transmitted to a computer where the chemical treatment and location are displayed.

  • Publication number: 20140254101
    Abstract: Method and apparatuses for making a smart phone on a chip (SPOC) are described. Active components may be embedded into a copper core. In an aspect, and optionally, passive components may also be embedded into the copper core. Printed circuit board (PCB) laminate may be layered above and below the copper core. A copper ground plane may be fixed underneath the layer of PCB laminate below, and furthest from, the copper core. One or more additional components may be surface mounted on top of the PCB laminate layers above the copper core. A conformal coating may be applied to completely and thinly encase the one or more surface mounted additional components. The conformal coating may include trenching and a copper sputter coating finish.

  • Patent number: 6919780
    Abstract: An improved, in-line, bulkhead mounted, electromagnetic interference filter specifically for low frequency, high current applications such as filtering EMI from 400 Hertz aircraft power, consisting in particular of capacitive elements employing a discoidal, non-ferroelectric ceramic dielectric such as NPO/COG, configured in any of the traditional L and C filter arrangements and packaged in a center feed through, ground plane metal jacket suitable for bulkhead or through-hole mounting, offering improved performance over the full specified temperature range, greater reliability and longer useful life than, for example, similar filters employing X7R dielectric.

  • Patent number: 6687115
    Abstract: A process for extending the operating temperature limit of a polypropylene film capacitor to greater than 105° C., by use of a post assembly curing process of placing the capacitor in a 10 Torr or less pressure environment, preferably less than 1 Torr, and slowing heating it at a rate of less than an average rate of 5° C./hour to a peak temperature of about 10 to 20 degrees higher than the intended operating temperature, the peak temperature being not more than preferably 180° C.
