Patent number: 7685464Abstract: A method for reducing radiation effects in an electronic circuit is disclosed. The method involves periodically transferring operation of the electronic circuit to at least one alternate processing element of a plurality of processing elements. With the at least one alternate processing element in control, the method reconfigures one or more processing elements of the plurality of processing elements. Once the one or more processing elements are reconfigured, the method synchronizes the one or more processing elements with the at least one alternate processing element.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Clifford E. Kimmery, Grant L. Smith, Richard P. White

Patent number: 6612153Abstract: A planar manifold that integrates all the control pneumatics, electronic pressure controls (EPC), and injector inlet onto a single plate, therefore eliminating numerous seals, fittings and transfer tubing between these devices. The planar manifold utilizes plates of specific geometry that minimizes heat transfer between the heated components and the unheated components in the planar manifold, while maintains the mechanical rigidity to support the attached components during shock and vibration. The planar manifold not only improves the reliability and manufacturability of micro gas chromatographs, but also lowers the cost of production.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard P. White, Alan D. Loux
