  • Patent number: 9209116
    Abstract: A semiconductor device package includes a solid metal base with a top surface and an electrically conductive chip mounting area on the top surface. First and second pairs of conductive leads are attached to the base and extend away from one another in opposite directions. First and second amplifiers are attached to the top surface and are electrically connected to the first and second pairs of leads. The first pair is separated from the second pair by a horizontal gap between inner edge sides of the leads. A reference line in the horizontal gap that extends perpendicular to edges of the base divides the chip mounting area into first and second chip mounting sections. An area of the first chip mounting section is smaller than an area of the second chip mounting section. The first and second leads have a smaller width than the third and fourth leads.

  • Publication number: 20130073998
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20090065696
    Abstract: In a terahertz radiation detection system, an array of harmonic transmitters/receivers can be scanned across a field of view. By using an unbalanced pair of Schottky diodes in the mixer of a heterodyne receiver, the receiver can be converted to a transmitter, generating terahertz radiation at even harmonics of the local oscillator. By using local oscillators of different frequencies in the transmitter and a receiver, the receiver can detect the generated radiation. In alternative arrangements, the local oscillator of the transmitter might have the same frequency as that of the receiver but be modulated, either directly or simply as a result of the transmitter being scanned across the field of view. If modulated directly, it might be amplitude or frequency modulation, these having different advantages. A receiver can be switched between acting as a transmitter and as a receiver by turning on and off an electrical bias to the Schottky diode pair.

  • Publication number: 20090044134
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing improved user interfaces for productivity applications are provided. In some embodiments, when a user inputs data into a document, the interface can determine what the format is for that data, such as a text format or an image format. The interface can then remove any presented icons, which can be in the form of a toolbar, not useful for the selected data format and provide icons that are useful for the selected data format. The icons provided can be a predetermined set of icons selected by the designer of the user interface or can be a custom set of icons preselected by a user of the interface.
