    摘要: A pixel array in an image sensor includes multiple pixels arranged in rows and columns with each column of pixels electrically connected to a column output line. A sample and hold circuit is electrically connected to each column output line. In one embodiment in accordance with the invention, each sample and hold circuit includes one capacitor for receiving and storing a signal voltage and a second capacitor for receiving and storing a reset voltage. The sample and hold circuits are divided into distinct groups, with each group including two or more sample and hold circuits. A pair of buffers is electrically connected to each distinct group. One global bus receives the signal voltages from at least a portion of buffers and another global bus receives the reset voltages from at least a portion of the other buffers. The global buses can include one or more signal lines.

    摘要: A boundary-controlled aerodynamic window positioned adjacent the exit aperture of a gas laser is transparent to the laser beam emitted from the cavity of the laser. The boundary-controlled aerodynamic window is formed by a high velocity gas flow directed by a duct across the exit aperture for the laser beam isolating the low pressure region of the cavity from the high pressure of the atmosphere. The exit aperture is enlarged and an auxiliary gas flow injected along the sidewall of the duct adjacent the exit aperture to expand the thickness of the boundary layer. In a second embodiment, particulate matter is fixedly attached to the sidewall of the duct to increase the roughness of the wall surface. A third embodiment uses a plurality of nozzles, each injecting gas with a predetermined velocity.

    摘要: The disclosed invention relates to coolant flow control apparatus for rotating heat exchangers such as used with a liquid cooled turbine blade and disc. By employing a combination of inlet and outlet orifices in the constrained coolant path of the apparatus, the liquid coolant can be made to rapidly reach and maintain supercritical temperature and pressure in the heat exchanger over a range of coolant heat absorption rates.
