Abstract: An opto-isolator with a correction circuit is disclosed. The correction circuit is configured to make adjustments for degradation of the light source of the opto-isolator. The correction circuit may comprise a photodetector for detecting degradation of the light source of the opto-isolator. When the light source degrades below a predetermined level, the correction circuit may be configured to make adjustments.

Abstract: An opto-isolator with a compensation circuit is disclosed. The compensation circuit may be configured to compensate degradation of the light source of the opto-isolator. The compensation circuit may comprise a circuit for counting an extended use of the isolator. When the count value exceeds a predetermined count value, the compensation circuit may be configured to compensate the degradation of the light source by adjusting the driver of the light source. In another embodiment, an electrical control system having such opto-isolator is illustrated.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device comprises a light source, a generally coplanarly disposed detector, the detector receiving light from the light source, a light conductive inner encapsulate molded around the light source and the detector, an opaque light reflective outer encapsulate molded around and interfaced with a surface of the light conductive inner encapsulate, and a lens disposed above, and in a light path between, the light source and the detector.

Abstract: Double mold opto-coupler and method for manufacture. A first subassembly is formed that includes a light detector. The first subassembly is molded with a first mold material to form a molded first subassembly. A light source is attached to the molded first sub-assembly to form a second sub-assembly. The second sub-assembly is molded with a second mold material to form a final assembly with predetermined dimensions.

Abstract: A circuit for actuating a switch includes a conductive liquid switch comprising a conductive liquid droplet and a control processor configured to receive a switching signal and configured to provide at least one actuation pulse to the conductive liquid droplet to initiate movement of the conductive liquid droplet based on a duration of a time period between the switching signal and a preceding switching signal.
