  • Patent number: 12267003
    Abstract: A power converter that properly copes with the wiring defects on a feedback path is shown. According to a control signal, a power driver couples an input voltage to an energy storage element to provide an output voltage that is down-converted from the input voltage. The output voltage is further converted into a feedback voltage by a feedback circuit, and is entered to an error amplifier with a reference voltage for generation of an amplified error. A control signal generator generates the control signal of the power driver according to the amplified error. The power converter specifically has a comparator, which is enabled in a soft-start stage till the output voltage reaches a stable status. The comparator compares the amplified error with a critical value. When the amplified error exceeds the critical value, the input voltage is disconnected from the energy storage element.

  • Publication number: 20100051324
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention comprises a method of forming holes in a dielectric substrate comprising the steps of applying a layer of photoresist to a dielectric substrate, exposing portions of the photoresist to actinic radiation through a photomask to form a pattern in the photoresist for an array of holes to be etched in the substrate, developing the photoresist, etching the dielectric substrate to form an array of holes, each hole extending at least partially through the dielectric substrate, and removing the excess photoresist. Another aspect of the present invention is a method of simultaneously forming holes in a dielectric substrate some of which extend partially through the substrate and some of which extend completely through the substrate. Other aspects of the present invention are dielectric substrates formed using the methods of the invention.

  • Patent number: 7141172
    Abstract: Distributed valve simulated moving beds are described in which junctions located between successive columns interrupt the flow of process fluid between columns, and either transmit the process fluid through a zone bypass to a succeeding column within the same zone or, if the junction is located between zones, direct the process fluid to an input/output line that is dedicated to the particular zone that immediately follows the junction. At each step of the SMB's operation, the distribution of flows in each junction is modulated to accomplish movement of ports consistent with the SMB's design. Further described are simulated moving beds that contain one or more decoupled on-line regeneration zones. The regeneration zone is decoupled from the separation zones in the sense that it observes a step time (a “regeneration interval”) that is different than the step time observed by the separation zones of the SMB.

  • Patent number: 6366649
    Abstract: A method for managing voice registration entries of voice recognition apparatus for use in both a handset and a hands-free kit. In the method, it is determined whether the handset is set to a hands-free mode where the handset is mounted on a cradle, thus connecting with the hands-free kit. If the handset is set to the hands-free mode, a voice registration entry for the handset is compared with a voice registration entry for the hands-free kit to calculate an entry difference value therebetween. A voice recognition process is performed, if the entry difference value is a minimum value, e.g., substantially zero. If the entry difference is larger than the minimum value, then a voice entry is registered for the hands-free kit, in response to a user confirmation. If the entry difference is smaller than the minimum value, then the voice entry is registered for the handset, in response to a user confirmation.
