  • Focus-position compensator
    Patent number: 6867921
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a focus-position compensator for reducing focus variations on a microlens array. The focus-position compensator comprises a plurality of tiles that are affixed to a structure disposed between the lenslets of the microlens array and the target of the collimated light from the lenslets. Each tile refractive index and tile thickness is chosen to obtain a tile focus-position correction that will apply to a region of the microlens array.

  • Power semiconductor device and method for increasing turn-on time of the power semiconductor device
    Patent number: 5945868
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device (10) and a method for increasing the turn-on time of the power semiconductor device (10). The power semiconductor device (10) has a first stage (13) and a second stage (14), where the transconductance of the first stage (13) is less than the transconductance of the second stage (14). The turn-on time of the power semiconductor device (10) is increased by turning on the first stage (13) before turning on the second stage (14).
