  • Patent number: 11950036
    Abstract: An electronic device can include a housing defining an aperture and a display positioned in the aperture. The display and the housing can define an internal volume in which a speaker assembly is positioned. The speaker assembly can include a speaker module and a speaker enclosure in fluid communication, with the speaker enclosure at least partially defining a speaker volume.

  • Patent number: 6897739
    Abstract: A compact inline waveguide power divider is provided that comprises a primary waveguide in communication with two parallel waveguides. The two parallel waveguides are stacked on top of one another and each parallel waveguide further comprises an output port. Accordingly, an input signal is transmitted through the primary waveguide and split between the two parallel waveguides. A resistive slot is formed in each of the parallel waveguides, thereby increasing output port isolation through dissipation of reflected power from one output port to the other. Further, a stepped or tapered impedance transformation is applied in each parallel waveguide to provide wide band frequency matching. Alternately, the primary waveguide and the parallel waveguides may be configured as a waveguide power combiner rather than a divider, wherein the parallel waveguides comprise input ports and the primary waveguide comprises an output port.

  • Patent number: 6720779
    Abstract: One embodiment disclosed relates to a method for electron beam inspection of a semiconductor circuit to identify a defect path using a hyper-extracting field. The method includes scanning the semiconductor circuit with a primary electron beam, applying a hyper-extracting field sufficient to achieve a junction breakdown, detecting intensities of electrons hyper-extracted from the semiconductor circuit during the scanning, and identifying a defect path from the hyper-extracted intensities. Another embodiment disclosed relates to a method that includes identifying both a normally extracting voltage contrast defect and a normally retarding voltage contrast defect by using the hyper-extracting field. Another embodiment disclosed relates to an apparatus for electron beam inspection of a semiconductor circuit to identify a defect path using a hyper-extracting field.

  • Patent number: 5789622
    Abstract: A method of calibrating gains and offsets for a two-dimensional detector array 10 comprising individual detector elements 14, including: (a) focusing a first incoming image signal at a first power level onto the detector array 10; (b) reading the corresponding electrical signals from the detector elements 14 as a first image frame at the first power level; (c) for each detector element 14, translating the first incoming image signal by a detector element distance onto an adjacent detector element; (d) reading the corresponding electrical signal from the detector elements 14 as a second image frame at the first power level; (e) focusing a second incoming image signal at a second power level onto the detector array 10; (f) reading the corresponding electrical signals from the detector elements 14 as a first image frame at the second power level; (g) for each detector element 14, translating the second incoming image signal by a detector element distance onto an adjacent detector element; (h) reading the corresp

  • Patent number: 5763054
    Abstract: An anti-reflection coating for optical elements and a method for forming an anti-reflection coating on an optical element includes one or more layers of a woven plastic mesh material that may be layered on the surface of an optical element such as the lens and secured thereto with a suitable adhesiveor pressed on to the surface by either a peripheral retaining ring or bodily pressed in place by a low loss, low dielectric medium. The number and thickness of the layers of the woven plastic mesh material are selected to provide optimal reduction of reflection losses.
