Patent number: 8425863Abstract: A micro fluidic device includes a valve/pump-unit with reduced dead volume having a substrate. The lower surface of the substrate includes two micro channels spaced apart by a valve area of the substrate that separates the two micro channels. A flexible membrane is arranged on the lower surface of the substrate facing an actuating element located in a through going cut-out of a cover element. Movement of the actuating element towards and away from the valve area of the substrate causes a pump and/or valve action of the flexible membrane area, respectively, to cause or stop a directed fluid flow between the two micro channels through a channel formed between the valve area of the substrate and the flexible membrane.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Chris Van Haag, Ronald Cornelis De Gier, Adrianus Wilhelmus Dionisius Maria Van Den Brijgaart, Gheorghe Sorin Stan

Publication number: 20090151555Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine is provided. The piston crown includes an interior surface that defines at least in part a cooling gallery and a cooling gallery surface within the piston. An annular surface may defines at least in part an annular passageway that allows fluid communication between an outer surface of the piston and the cooling gallery. Opposing annular surfaces may be abutted with a predetermined force, thereby limiting fluid flow from the cooling gallery to an outer surface of the piston. Further, an annular surface may extend into the cooling gallery to form a deflector along the cooling gallery surface, thereby limiting fluid flow from the cooling gallery to an outer surface of the piston.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventors: Michael T. Lapp, Juan Gildemeister, Steve Walker, Sorin Stan

Publication number: 20060028946Abstract: A method is described for setting an optimum recording power level for recording information on an optical record carrier. First a series of test patterns is written on the record carrier with a different recording power. On reading the test patterns, the jitter values of each read signal is determined. The jitter as a function of recording power is approximated with two linear functions. The optimum recording power level for the record carrier is derived from intersection of the functions. The invention relates also to a device arranged to perform the method. The invention further relates to an optical record carrier comprising the optimum recording power as determined by the method according to the invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: February 9, 2006Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONCIS N.V.Inventor: Sorin Stan

Patent number: 6856585Abstract: A method and device for recording information signals on a partly recorded writable record carrier (11), e.g. an optical disc. An information signal represents at least one information unit. The record carrier has a recording track which comprises preformed track position information indicative of locations for recording the information units. From the information signal a modulated signal is generated, and the recording track is scanned for recording the modulated signal. If recording is after and adjacent an existing recorded unit, linking information is read from an end boundary area of the existing recorded unit and used for logically generating the modulated signal. If recording is before and adjacent to an existing unit, linking information is read from a begin boundary area of the existing unit and thereafter used for logically generating the modulated signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2001Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Gheorghe Sorin Stan, Robert Albertus Brondijk

Patent number: 6813224Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reading and/or writing data on a disk (1) storing data in a continuous spiral form (2). The data is simultaneously read from or written to N tracks (4-8, 12-20) by N spots, N being an integer larger than or equal to 2. The reading and/or writing is performed by alternating between reading/writing and actuator jumps. In order to increase the efficiency of such multi track disk drives a next jump decision is calculated dynamically on the basis of a real-time analysis determining a next position of a unit (23) for reading/writing data relative to the disk (1).Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Gheorghe Sorin Stan, Andre Latenstein Van Voorst

Publication number: 20030049013Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for encoding data bits of a data bitstream into channel bits of a channel bitstream to be recorded on a rewritable optical medium, wherein the digital sum value (DSV) of said channel bitstream is controlled. In order to provide a method and an apparatus for encoding as well as an optical recording medium which do not require any change in the electronics or software of a reproducing apparatus it is proposed according to the invention that the digital sum value of said channel bitstream is varied if a new part of channel bitstream is started to be recorded on the recording medium or if an old part of a channel bitstream is started to be rewritten at an identical location on the recording medium. Thus the method according to the invention is also applicable to any existent rewritable optical medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2002Publication date: March 13, 2003Inventor: Gheorghe Sorin Stan
