  • Circuit and method for controlling the threshold voltage of transistors
    Patent number: 7332953
    Abstract: A control unit, for controlling a threshold voltage of a circuit unit having transistor devices, includes a reference circuit and a measuring unit. The measuring unit is configured to measure a threshold voltage of at least one sensing transistor of the circuit unit, and to measure a threshold voltage of at least one reference transistor of the reference circuit. A differential voltage generator is configured to generate a differential voltage from outputs of the measuring unit and a bulk connection of the transistor devices in the circuit unit to which the differential voltage is fed as a biasing voltage.

  • Method and device for the manufacture of a sealing gasket on the rim of a sheet of glass
    Patent number: 5069852
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a sealing gasket on the rim of a sheet of glass has a preformed sealing gasket fixed to the rim of a glass. Polymerization is carried on in situ with a polyurethane material in a modified mold in which the preformed sealing gasket is positioned. The preformed sealing gasket also forms a sealing junction to avoid leakage of the polymer material.

  • Machine for grinding the edges of a sheet of glass
    Patent number: 4587764
    Abstract: A machine for grinding the edges of a sheet of glass, particularly windows for automobile, comprises, on a base, a motor for rotating the sheet of glass horizontally, a carrier moved horizontally by a bidirectional motor, which bears a wheel arm supporting in turn the grind wheel and a motor for it, the wheel arm being pushed toward the sheet of glass by a torgue motor supported on said carrier, the working parameters of the motors being controlled instantaneously by an electronic processor in which the profile of the sheet of glass is memorized.
