Publication number: 20240348215Abstract: A method and system for producing an adjustable resistor with a set resistance for adjusting quiescent current in a GaN transistor in a power amplifier. A quiescent current on the GaN power amplifier is measured via a test probe from a microcontroller unit on a test fixture. A resistance value is determined for output of a voltage bias value to adjust the quiescent current of the GaN transistor in the power amplifier. The resistance value is stored in an electronically adjustable resistor. The adjustable resistor is coupled to an output voltage circuit to provide voltage at the voltage vias value to a voltage bias input of the power amplifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2023Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Wen-Chin LIU, Min-Yu CHEN, Ming-Chih LIN

Patent number: 11434187Abstract: A system of concentrating and separating waste solvent liquid includes a distillation tower, an extracting distillation unit, an extract agent recovery unit, and a vapor permeation film unit. The scheme of centrifugal distillation is specifically employed to collocate with vapor permeation to effectively concentrate the content of isopropanol in the waste solvent liquid to generate a final produce with ultra high concentration of isopropanol, and constantly recovers the extract agent. The system is able to be quickly settled to a steady state of operation with low power consumption because the extracting distillation unit has smaller size. Since no liquid is left in the extract agent recovery unit, operation risk is greatly reduced. In addition, the input feed is almost processed, overall efficiency is thus improved. The vapor permeation film unit further removes considerably little content of water from the organic solvent to increase the content of isopropanol up to 99.9% or more.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2021Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: ECOVE WASTE MANAGEMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Yu-Ling Guo, Ming-Chih Lin, Hsin-Hui Yen, Cheng-Tse Hsu, Che-Yu Chen
