  • Publication number: 20120327663
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) lighting system includes a base, a power supply on the base, an LED module on the base having one or more LED dice configured to emit electromagnetic radiation having a selected wavelength range, and multiple interchangeable wavelength conversion lenses configured for removable attachment to the base in light communication with the LED module. Each lens has a different configuration such that the lenses can be changed to vary the electromagnetic radiation output of the light emitting diode (LED) lighting system. The wavelength conversion lenses can be separate from a cover for the light emitting diode (LED) lighting system or can be formed directly on the cover.

  • Patent number: 8339183
    Abstract: A charge pump circuit for generating an output voltage is described. Charge pump circuits typically have two branches. As the clocks supplying the branches of a charge pump circuit alternate, the output of each branch will alternately provide an output voltage, which are then combined to form the pump output. The techniques described here allow charge to be transferred between the two branches, so that as the capacitor of one branch discharges, it is used to charge up the capacitor in the other branch. An exemplary embodiment using a voltage doubler-type of circuit, with the charge transfer between the branches accomplished using a switch controller by a boosted version of the clock signal, which is provided by a one-sided voltage doubler.

  • Publication number: 20120278583
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system for processing memory references received from multiple processor cores. During operation, the system monitors the memory references to determine whether memory references from different processor cores are interfering with each other as the memory references are processed by a memory system. If memory references from different processor cores are interfering with each other, the system time-multiplexes the processing of memory references between processor cores, so that a block of consecutive memory references from a given processor core is processed by the memory system before memory references from other processor cores are processed.

  • Patent number: 8299511
    Abstract: An image sensor pixel that includes a photoelectric conversion unit supported by a substrate and an insulator adjacent to the substrate. The pixel includes a cascaded light guide that is located within an opening of the insulator and extends above the insulator such that a portion of the cascaded light guide has an air interface. The air interface improves the internal reflection of the cascaded light guide. The cascaded light guide may include a self-aligned color filter having air-gaps between adjacent color filters. These characteristics of the light guide eliminate the need for a microlens. Additionally, an anti-reflection stack is interposed between the substrate and the light guide to reduce backward reflection from the image sensor. Two pixels of having different color filters may have a difference in the thickness of an anti-reflection film within the anti-reflection stack.
