Patent number: 11968983Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a tobacco leaf foliar spraying substance for reducing harmful ingredients in cheroot, a method for reducing carcinogenic components in flue-cured tobacco leaves and flue-cured tobacco shreds. The tobacco leaf foliar spraying substance contains a lotus leaf extract, the harmful chemical ingredients comprise N-nitrosonornicotine, 4-(N-methyl-nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridinyl)-1-butanone, N-nitrosoanabasine and N-nitrosoanatabine. Foliar spraying is performed on a fertile field by using the lotus leaf extract before tobacco leaves are harvested and modulated, which not only significantly promotesagronomic characters and economic traits of tobacco and alleviates tobacco leaf browning but also effectively reduces harmful chemical ingredients unique to tobacco leaves, such as nitrosamine and nicotine.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: HUBEI INSTITUTE OF TOBACCO SCIENCEInventors: Chunlei Yang, Jinpeng Yang, Jun Zhou, Mei Yang, Yong Yang, Jun Yu, Zongping Li, Xiongfei Rao, Guangjiong Qin, Baoming Qiao, Ruoshi Bai, Yanjun Ma, Xianbao Deng, Wenzhang Qin, Kaixiao Fan, Candong Deng, Yongle Wei, Youlun Fan

Patent number: 11940822Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an analog voltage regulator and an integrated circuit module. The analog voltage regulator generates a regulated output voltage. The integrated circuit module generates an analog sense voltage based on the regulated output voltage and includes integrated circuit dies, a first sensor, second sensors, and a digital voltage offset controller (DVOC). The first sensor generates a digital reference voltage based on an analog reference voltage. The second voltage sensors detect voltages at predetermined locations on the integrated circuit dies. The DVOC generates a digital offset voltage substantially equal to the difference between the digital reference voltage and the voltage detected by a selected one of the second voltage sensors. The regulated output voltage is based on an unregulated input voltage, the analog sense voltage, and the digital offset voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Haohua Zhou, Mei Hsu Wong, Tze-Chiang Huang

Patent number: 8970873Abstract: A system and method are provided for routing print requests and managing internal printer resource data on an internal network with global printer resource data stored on an external network. Print requests are received for printer resources and it is determined whether the request may be served with printer resource data stored on the internal network. If the printer resource data is invalid or stale, then printer resource data is requested from the global server and the internal printer resource data is updated. The print request is then routed to the appropriate printer resource based on location information in the printer resource data associated with the requested printer resource. Network client devices may also be configured to connect to a print traffic server when connected to an internal network, and to the global server otherwise.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Printeron Inc.Inventors: Philip Von Hatten, Patrick Pidduck, Rob Evers, Frank Kavanaugh, Mike Sobiski, Brian Hollander, Mei Zhou, Justin Turner, Mark Onischke, Michael Kuindersma, Dharmesh Krishnammagaru, Michael St. Laurent
