  • Patent number: 11953567
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetic multi-turn sensor comprising a continuous coil of magnetoresistive elements and a method of manufacturing said sensor. The continuous coil is formed on a substrate such as a silicon wafer that has been fabricated so as to form a trench and bridge arrangement that enables the inner and outer spiral to be connected without interfering with the magnetoresistive elements of the spiral winding in between. Once the substrate has been fabricated with the trench and bridge arrangement, a film of the magnetoresistive material can be deposited to form a continuous coil on the surface of the substrate, wherein a portion of the coil is formed in the trench and a portion of the coil is formed on the bridge.

  • Publication number: 20200231754
    Abstract: A process for preparing a thermoplastic copolyester which comprises repeating units derived from an aliphatic glycol, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and the monomer of formula (I): wherein n=2, 3 or 4, and wherein comonomer (I) constitutes a proportion of the glycol fraction of the copolyester, wherein the process comprises the steps of: (i) reacting said aliphatic glycol with said aromatic dicarboxylic acid to form a bis(hydroxyalkyl)-ester of said aromatic dicarboxylic acid; and (ii) reacting said bis(hydroxyalkyl)-ester of said aromatic dicarboxylic acid with the monomer (I) under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the monomer (I) is present in a range of from 5% to about 20 mol % of the glycol fraction of the copolyester, wherein the aromatic dicarboxylic acid is selected from naphthalene dicarboxylic acid and terephthalic acid, and wherein the aliphatic glycol is ethylene glycol.

  • Patent number: 9455864
    Abstract: A method and system for creating, distributing, and managing of shared compression dictionaries. The system comprises a compressor configured to generate at least one shared compression dictionary based on a context of data streams flow between a client web browser and an origin server; an origin accelerator communicatively connected to the origin server and configured to encode an encountered data stream to a compressed form based on the least one shared compression dictionary; and an edge accelerator communicatively connected to the client web browser and configured to decode the compressed form of the data stream to an uncompressed form using the least one shared compression dictionary.
