  • Patent number: 12263522
    Abstract: A smart molten metal pump system and method automatically controls the operating speed of the pump rather than requiring an operator to control the speed. The system includes a pump, a controller for controlling the speed of the pump and one or more vibration sensors (such as an accelerometer) to measure vibration. The controller receives input about the vibration of the pump or one or more pump components, and possibly other data, such as the temperature of the molten metal, and/or the depth of the molten metal, ad/or parameters related to the operation of the pump. The controller analyzes the one or more inputs to vary the speed of the pump, turn the pump off, and/or send a communication to an operator.

  • Patent number: 12191329
    Abstract: A uniform bridge gradient (UBG) time-of-flight (ToF) photodiode block is described, such as for integration with image sensor pixels. The UBG ToF photodiode block can be part of a UBG ToF pixel, and an image sensor can include an array of such pixels. Each UGB ToF photosensor block has multiple taps for selective activation, and a photodiode region designed for complete and rapid transit of photocarriers, as they are generated, via the multiple taps. Embodiments of the photodiode region include a photodiode-defining implant, a relatively shallow first bridging implant, and relatively deep second bridging implant. The bridging implants provide lateral bridging with a uniform doping gradient near and across the multiple taps.
