Patent number: 11031913Abstract: In integrating RF power amplifier circuits on a package, at least one bias voltage is coupled to at least one amplifier circuit on the package via two or more pins/connectors. In particular, at least one of a gate and drain bias voltage is coupled to one or more amplifier circuits via at least two pins/connectors. In some embodiments, the two or more bias voltage pins/connectors are connected together on the package, placing the pins/connectors in parallel, which reduces an inductance associated with the pins/connectors. In some embodiments, at least of the two pins/connectors connected to the same bias voltage are disposed on either side of an RF signal pin/conductor, simplifying the routing of signals on the package, affording greater flexibility of placement and routing on the package.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Cree, Inc.Inventors: Madhu Chidurala, Marvin Marbell, Simon Ward

Patent number: 10699063Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer program products for authoring content for digital books. In some implementations, a single graphical user interface (GUI) is presented that allows an author to design a layout for the digital book, including editing text and inserting various types of interactive elements in the text. The GUI functions as both a digital book layout design tool and a word processor to facilitate the building of a digital book. The relative page location of inserted widgets can be determined by a user-selectable anchor point placed within the text. An outline view of the digital book can be created and presented in the GUI based on a hierarchical structure determined by paragraph styles applied to the text. The GUI can provide a hybrid glossary and index page for allowing the author to create and manage a glossary and index for the digital book.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Charles J.
