摘要： A magnetic actuator assembly is disclosed, and includes a core, wiring, and a gate assembly. The core is constructed of a magnetic material, and includes a first end and a second end. The wiring is wound around a portion of the core. A predetermined amount of electric current is applied to the wiring to induce a magnetic field within the core. The gate assembly is positioned between the first end and a second end of the core. The gate assembly comprises a first gate member traveling between the first end and a second end of the core based on a threshold force being applied to the gate assembly. The threshold force is created by the magnetic field.

摘要： An engine system having a compressor coupled to an engine and supplying air to an intake manifold, a throttle controlling the supply of air from the compressor to the intake manifold, a compressor recirculation valve (CRV) having a pneumatic control chamber, and a throttle aspirator having its motive section in fluid communication with an inlet of the throttle and its discharge section in fluid communication with an outlet of the throttle and its suction port in fluid communication with the pneumatic control chamber of the CRV. Such an engine system automatically minimizes surge during boost without a control system activating the CRV. Here, the CRV operates purely on the changes in pressure within the system forming a loop that resets itself. In another embodiment, a gate valve and a vacuum canister may be included rather than having the throttle aspirator directly connected to the CRV's pneumatic control chamber.

摘要： A power amplifier circuit that has an inductor and capacitor connected to one end of the output winding of an RF transformer. The other end of the output winding is connected to a resistor that in turn is connected to ground. The transformer has two primary windings. Both primary windings have one end connected to a variable DC voltage supply. The other end of each primary winding is attached to a switch, such as a MOSFET. All three windings are wound around a core. Current flowing from the DC voltage supply to the switches causes a magnetic flux in the core. A voltage is generated on the secondary winding resistor. This voltage is fed back to the switches, controlling on and off timing. In this way the need to measure and record natural frequency is eliminated.

摘要： A method of forming a layer of material on a sidewall of a via with good thickness control. The method involves forming a layer of material with a conventional deposition process. The material formed on a field region surrounding the via is removed with a sputter etch process. Another layer of material is deposited thereon, wherein the sputter etch-deposition cycle is repeated as necessary to achieve a desired sidewall thickness. With this method, the thickness of the material deposited on the sidewall is linearly dependent on the number of process cycles, thus providing good thickness control. The method may be used to form a resistance variable material, e.g., a phase-change material, on a via sidewall for use in a memory element.
