Publication number: 20140028357Abstract: An adaptive gate drive circuit that can generate a gate bias voltage with temperature compensation for a MOSFET is disclosed. The adaptive gate drive circuit may generate the gate bias voltage with variable drive capability to combat higher gate leakage current of the MOSFET at higher temperature. In one design, an apparatus includes a control circuit and a gate drive circuit. The control circuit generates at least one control signal having a variable frequency determined based on a sensed temperature of the MOSFET. For example, a clock divider ratio may be determined based on the sensed temperature of the MOSFET, an input clock signal may be divided based on the clock divider ratio to obtain a variable clock signal, and the control signal(s) may be generated based on the variable clock signal. The gate drive circuit generates a bias voltage for the MOSFET based on the control signal(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Narendra Singh Mehta, Lennart Karl-Axel Mathe

Publication number: 20130193077Abstract: We provide a process for the neutralization and precipitation of high pH brines that eliminates the formation of “gelatinous silica” during neutralization. The high pH brine is neutralized in a two-step neutralization process. In the first step the salt concentration of a high pH brine is built up to a minimum level of 8-12%, and then its pH is reduced to 9-9.5. The partially neutralized brine is allowed a reaction period with mild agitation. Subsequently the pH is further reduced, typically to 8-9. A coagulant and/or a polymer can also be used to enhance the settling or filtration rate of the neutralized stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: August 1, 2013Inventors: Ravi Chidambaran, Pavan Raina, Narendra Singh Bisht

Patent number: 8451797Abstract: A mobile node includes a processor, a network interface, and a storage device having computer program code for execution by the processor. The computer program code includes a network layer for transmitting and receiving packets and an intermediate driver that transmits packets to the network layer and receives packets from the network layer using a virtual interne protocol (IP) address to identify the mobile node. The intermediate driver transmits packets to the network interface and receives packets from the network interface using a routable actual IP address to identify the mobile node. The intermediate driver permits the actual IP address to change when the mobile node moves from a first subnet to a second subnet without a corresponding change in the virtual IP address. A corresponding NAT associates the virtual IP address with a second actual IP address when the NAT is notified that the mobile node is in the second subnet.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Alcaltel LucentInventors: Milind M.

Publication number: 20120080314Abstract: We report an electro-deionization (EDI) device having split flow arrangement for the purification of second pass RO permeate water with high flow rate in which the feed water is fed through the center port and is diverted into each section of dilute chamber with equal flow rate, producing two product streams. The EDI device has concentrate chambers adjacent to dilute chambers in two sections of the stack, allowing independent flow through the separate sections. The split flow design reduces resin bed depth requirement for processing of second pass RO permeate water. This results in higher flow rate through the stack, elimination of the pressure drop limitation, and reduction of power consumption per unit volume of water.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Inventors: Ravi Chidambaran, Narendra Singh Bisht, Pavan Raina

Patent number: 7838370Abstract: A method for manufacturing an isolation structure is disclosed that protects the isolation structure during etching of a dichlorosilane (DCS) nitride layer. The method involves the formation of a bis-(t-butylamino)silane-based nitride liner layer within the isolation trench, which exhibits a five-fold greater resistance to nitride etching solutions as compared with DCS nitride, thereby allowing protection against damage from unintended over-etching. The bis-(t-butylamino)silane-based nitride layer also exerts a greater tensile strain on moat regions that results in heightened carrier mobility of active regions, thereby increasing the performance of NMOS transistors embedded therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Narendra Singh Mehta, Wayne Anthony Bather, Ajith Varghese
