Patent number: 8855499Abstract: In an n-node optical communications system, energy harvesting photodetectors at each node receive extraneous electromagnetic wavelengths that are not used for communication or other purposes by the associated node. The energy harvesting photodetectors convert the unused electromagnetic energy into reusable electrical energy. The harvested electrical energy may be used as auxiliary power at the node or elsewhere in the communication system, or stored in a battery, capacitor, or other energy storage device. The system may be used in an “all-to-all” broadcast and select communication scheme or in some other broadcast and select interconnect system that has extraneous wavelengths at node receivers.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and ResearchInventors: Vladimir Sokolov, James N. Kruchowski, Mark A. Nelson, Nathan E. Harff

Patent number: 5942858Abstract: An apparatus supplies an ohmic, inductive or capacitive load with needle pulse trains in which each individual pulse has a duration of less than 1 millisecond. Due to pulse amplitudes which are by far higher in relation to the nominal voltage of the load, considerable increases in efficiency can be achieved, however, without damaging the load or impairing its useful life. The needle pulses are of constant amplitude and the same polarity. The ratio between pulse voltage and nominal voltage is always higher than 1.7.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1996Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Nico-Elektro AktiengesellschaftInventor: Vladimir Sokolov

Patent number: 5929644Abstract: A non-destructive and non-invasive method for monitoring a selected characteristic of a fabricated semiconductor sample while inside a fabrication chamber and during the fabrication process, where selected materials are deposited on a planar surface of a wafer substrate in a fabrication chamber, employs one or more viewports in the walls of the fabrication chamber. A focused electromagnetic wave is generated external to the fabrication chamber, and directed through a viewport to impinge upon a selected portion of the planar surface of the wafer substrate at an oblique incident angle relative to the planar surface of the wafer substrate. In turn, a reflected electromagnetic wave emanating from the planar surface of the wafer substrate is detected. A signal processor then determines a reflection coefficient as a function of a selected characteristic of the focused electromagnetic wave and the reflected electromagnetic wave.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1997Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: TLC Precision Wafer Technology, Inc.Inventor: Vladimir Sokolov

Patent number: 5867034Abstract: A non-destructive method for monitoring the carrier lifetime characteristic of a fabricated semiconductor sample during the fabrication process, where selected materials are deposited on a planar surface of a wafer substrate in a fabrication chamber, employs one or more viewports in the walls of a fabrication chamber, thus avoiding any alteration of the fabrication process. A focused electromagnetic wave is generated external to the fabrication chamber, and directed through a viewport to impinge upon a selected portion of the planar surface of the wafer substrate at an oblique incident angle relative to the planar surface of the wafer substrate. In turn, a reflected electromagnetic wave emanating from the planar surface of the wafer substrate is detected. A light source, also external to the fabrication chamber, generates light directed at the wafer substrate through a viewport. The light is intended to have wavelength components capable of generating hole-electron pairs in the wafer substrate.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1997Date of Patent: February 2, 1999Inventors: Vladimir Sokolov, David C.

Patent number: 4556847Abstract: A method of quantitative analysis of substances based on nuclear magnetic resonance comprises the steps of weighing a sample of substance to be analyzed, obtaining therefrom and accumulating nuclear magnetic resonance signals during n measuring cycles, computing a mean value of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals, and determining percentage of components in the sample being analyzed with regard to its mass and the mean value of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals. The mean value of the accumulated signals and its standard deviation are computed as the accumulation occurs during each of the n measuring cycles, the subsequent step being subtraction of the standard deviation from the permissible limiting standard deviation value whereupon the accumulation is stopped during the n.sub.i th cycle in which a difference between said magnitudes is a positive value.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1983Date of Patent: December 3, 1985Assignee: Vsesojuzny Nauchno-Issledovatelsky Institut Maslichnykh Kultur Imeni V.S.
