Abstract: A thermal engine includes a cylinder and piston and an insulated thermal battery including at least a thermal mass such as the engine block itself for storing and retaining heat to enhance or cause fluid expansion within the cylinder and drive the piston, the thermal battery optionally including an electrolyte chamber containing a thermal electrolyte for functioning as an electric thermal battery. Heat is stored in the thermal battery such as by activating electric resistance heating elements in the thermal mass. The stored heat either causes expansion of a non-combustible expansion fluid such as water or enhances the expansion of a combustible expansion fluid such as gasoline. Where the thermal battery is an electric thermal battery containing an electrolyte, the storage of heat also stores electricity which can be used to power an electric motor.

Abstract: A voraxial separation system having an auxiliary filter is disclosed for separating flowable composite media into components. The voraxial separation system receives a flowing stream of composite media and utilizes centrifugal force to separate the stream into component radial layers according to specific gravity whereafter one or more radial layers may be extracted from the stream. An auxiliary filtration apparatus includes a conduit having a flowable media input, a generally cylindrical filter disposed within the conduit, and filtered and unfiltered media outlets. An elongate spray tube is disposed within the tubular filter substantially adjacent to the radially inner surface of the filter. The spray tube is fluidly connected to a pressurized fluid source and defines a plurality of spray outlets disposed in a direction radially outward so as to direct pressurized fluid onto the cylindrical filter from the filter interior thereof to clean the filter of accumulated substances. A rotational drive system provides powered rotation of the spray tube, and a spectrophotometer assembly monitors the accumulation of component medium on the filter and adjusts rotation speed of the spray tube in response to filter loading.

A generally hollow main body defines an internal reservoir for containing a flowable, preferably liquid, bait contained therein. A generally planar base is adapted for receiving a ground anchor removably connected thereto to facilitate anchoring the station to the ground. Insects are guided to the an access opening in the top of the bait station by a plurality of recessed channels that originate in proximity to the bottom and run along the bait station body to an access opening in the top portion thereof. A removable cover is provided for attachment to the bait station and includes a downwardly depending ramp that is received within the access opening to provide insects with an ingress and egress path down to the bait contained within the housing. The cover includes a top surface having an upwardly projecting connection structure to allow for connection of the cover of a first bait station to the bottom of a second bait station thereby allowing a plurality of bait stations to be deployed in a connected stacked configuration. An alternate embodiment includes a top end adapted with a hook-shaped portion to allow the bait station body to be hung from a supporting structure, and a bottom end adapted for securely mounting the bait station to the ground.

Abstract: A technique for forming Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDS) in a conventional Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process. A number of single-layer polysilicon gates are formed on an as-grown, native doped silicon substrate, with gaps between them. Masking is used to selectively dope the gates while preventing doping of the silicon in the gaps. Masking may likewise be used to selectively silicide the gates while preventing silicide formation in the gaps. Conventional source-drain processing produces input/output diffusions for the CCD.

Abstract: A technique for dynamically calibrating a successive approximation charge to digital converter by toggling at least some portion of the converter between two predetermined states, with the design goal of balancing the voltage and/or charge that is output in the two states. The two states are chosen such that they are expected to generate the same output voltage when the converter is in “normal” operation mode, e.g., within a fraction of the Least Significant Bit (LSB) resolution of the converter. If there is an imbalance, switching between the two calibration states invariably generates a square wave signal that toggles between two distinct values. A synchronous demodulator having a bandwidth centered at the toggle frequency can then be used to accurately detect an amount of error, which is then feedback to generate correction signals. If there are undesirable static offsets introduced by the synchronous demodulator or by the signal and/or charge levels output by the two differential halves of the converter, a properly timed latch can be used to further stabilize the error signal.

Abstract translation: 通过在两个预定状态之间切换转换器的至少一部分来动态校准逐次逼近电荷到数字转换器的技术，其设计目标是平衡在两种状态下输出的电压和/或电荷。 选择两个状态使得当转换器处于“正常”操作模式时，例如在转换器的最低有效位（LSB）分辨率的一小部分内，它们被期望产生相同的输出电压。 如果存在不平衡，则在两个校准状态之间切换总是产生在两个不同值之间切换的方波信号。 然后可以使用具有以触发频率为中心的带宽的同步解调器来精确地检测误差量，然后将其反馈以产生校正信号。 如果由同步解调器引入不期望的静态偏移或由转换器的两个差分半部输出的信号和/或电荷电平，则可以使用适当定时的锁存器来进一步稳定误差信号。

Abstract: An integrated circuit memory cell and voltage ladder design that adapts techniques typically applied to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) circuits to implement a compact array of analog Voltage Random Access Memory (VRAM) locations. The memory cells in the VRAM each store a digital value that controls a corresponding switch. The switch couple a particular voltage from a set of voltages generated by the ladder, to be output when that location is enabled. Multiple analog output voltages are provided by simply providing additional rows of cells.

Abstract: Control signal generating apparatus generates a first plurality of output signals from a second plurality of input signals. For each output signal, a locus generator defines a sequence of combinations of values corresponding to the input signals forming a line-like locus in the space defined by the input signals. For each locus generator, there is a distance value signal calculator for evaluating an output signal having a value determined by the distance in the space of the point, that is, the cursor point, represented by the combination of input signal values relative to the locus. The distance value is the distance along the locus corresponding to the projection of the point onto the locus.

Abstract: An electronic tuner generates a pulse train signal from an analog signal transduced from vibrations on a selected one of several strings of a musical instrument. The pulse train signal has a plurality of successive pulses, each of the pulses having a pulse width which may vary between successive pulses. Two of the pulses have a longest pulse width of all pulses in the pulse string are identified. The tuner then computes a current fundamental frequency on the selected string as a function of a ratio between a numerical count of the pulses occurring between these two pulses, the count including one of these pulses, and a sum of the pulse width of each of the pulses included in the count. The two of the pulses have a longest pulse width of all pulses in the pulse string. A difference signal is developed as a function of a difference between the current fundamental frequency and a known in-tune frequency associated with the selected string being tuned. The difference signal may then be used to visually display the difference whereby the selected one of the strings can be tuned to minimize the difference.
