摘要： An optical mouse 100 wherein light emanating from the light source 106 is reflected off an optical pattern pad and is placed such tha a lens 120 at a predetermined distance from the optical pad focuses the light directly onto an inverted integrated circuit 124 mounted on and through a hole 126 in a printed wiring board 118, the integrated circuit being housed in a clear plastic package. The path from the lens to the integrated circuit package provides an optical guide 122 such that the distances from the pattern pad to the lens, and from the lens to the optical sensor 128 in the integrated circuit, is fixed upon manufacture and assembly without any further optical adjustment. The inverted state of the integrated circuit chip allows a fixed distance to be provided through the hole in the printed wiring board rather than from above it as is common in the prior art.

摘要： An active probe card for high resolution/low noise wafer level testing wherein integrated circuits, such as charge coupled device imagers are tested at the wafer level before initial packaging. The probe card contains active logic and power circuits thereon with improved pin probe needles to reduce noise and distortion. The edge card connectors are eliminated and standard connectors would be used. In addition, the output signal is buffered on the probe card to reduce the effects of loading caused by the patch cable and the measuring instrument.

摘要： A controllable proton exchange reactive membrane comprising a proton exchange membrane, at least two catalyst layers disposed on opposing sides of the proton exchange membrane, and a power source operably coupled to the at least two catalyst layers. A direction and magnitude of flow of hydrogen through the proton exchange reactive membrane is controlled by modulating the power source across the proton exchange membrane, thereby enabling hydrogen to be transported in either direction across the proton exchange reactive membrane. By controlling the transport of hydrogen, the extent of a homologation reaction is enhanced. A proton exchange reactive membrane reactor comprising the proton exchange reactive membrane is also disclosed. A method of producing a higher hydrocarbon from a light alkane is disclosed, as is a method of regenerating a catalyst layer.

摘要： A sensor system is provided that measures water content or other detectable properties in a medium along the entire length of the sensor at any point in time. The sensor system includes an electromagnetic signal generator and a transmission line disposed in a medium to be monitored. Alternatively, the transmission line can be configured for movement across a medium to be monitored, or the transmission line can be fixed relative to a moving medium being monitored. A signal is transmitted along the transmission line at predetermined frequencies, and the signal is returned back along the transmission line and/or into an optional receive line in proximity to the transmission line. The returned signal is processed to generate a one-dimensional data output profile that is a function of a detectable property of the medium. The data output profile can be mapped onto a physical system to generate a two-dimensional or three-dimensional profile if desired. The sensor system is useful in a variety of different applications such as agriculture, horticulture, biofiltration systems for industrial offgases, leak detection in landfills or drum storage facilities at buried waste sites, and in many other applications.

摘要： A satellite audio broadcasting system for network programming and broad-based advertising includes a network uplink facility and a plurality of local radio station downlink facilities. The system permits pre-empting of network audio by the local station at any time, but automatically and constantly monitors the local broadcast, comparing it to the network audio, and automatically records any periods of departure. Computers are employed at uplink and downlinks, and from time to time the uplink causes each downlink to transfer to it all data relating to such periods of departure for the subject period of time. Using the data this uplink can automatically compute billing to advertisers and payments to subscriber local stations based on the amount of advertising actually broadcast by the stations. Verification is thereby fully automatic and is substantially tamper-proof. Digital databursts preferably are transmitted via the satellite along with the network audio for separation, decoding and use at the downlink. Such data may contain, for example, a program pre-schedule for the coming day and/or simultaneous identifying information at the time a program or advertising is aired, for downlink logging, and individual accessing codes for network control or communication with specific downlink affiliates.
