Inventor: LI JINGFENG
IPC: H03H17/02
Filed: 2010-09-29
Abstract: In one embodiment, a (hard-drive) read channel has a (DFIR equalization) filter, whose tap coefficients are adaptively updated. A reset controller monitors an (LLR) signal generated downstream of the filter to automatically determine when to reset the filter, e.g., by reloading an initial set of user-specified tap coefficients. For LLR values, the reset controller determines to reset the filter when the reset controller detects that too many recent LLR values have confidence values that are too low. When implemented in a hard-drive read channel, the reset controller can reset the filter one or more times during read operations within a sector of the hard drive.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solar cell (1) includes forming a passivation layer (190) on a rear surface of a substrate (110) of a first conductivity type; forming connecting electrodes (151) having a plurality of electrical contacts that are in contact with the rear surface of the substrate (110) by using a first paste (e.g. Al paste) for a first temperature firing on portions of the passivation layer (190); and forming a rear electrode layer (152) by using a second paste (Al paste) for a second temperature firing on the passivation layer (190) and the plurality of electrical contacts, wherein a temperature of the second temperature firing is lower than a temperature of the first temperature firing. Alternatively, a method for manufacturing a solar cell (1) comprises forming a passivation layer (190) on a rear surface of a substrate (110) of a first conductivity type; applying a rear electrode paste (50) to form rear electrodes on the passivation layer (190) and locally thermally treating portions of the rear electrode paste (50) to make electrical contact through the passivation layer (190) before the rear electrode paste (50) is dried; and forming the rear electrodes (150) by thermally treating the entire rear electrode paste (50).

Abstract: Techniques are provided to determine an initial quaternion transform that is used to transform measurements received from accelerometer, rate sensor and inertial reference subsystems from a vehicle coordinate frame to an inertial navigation frame. Methods disclosed determine corrective angular rates to use as a feedback signal to rotate the quaternion transform to counter errors that result when transforming a gravity vector and an inertial reference vector (e.g., a magnetic North reference vector) that are being measured by the accelerometer and an inertial reference subsystems, respectively. The initial quaternion determination is performed during a time period when the only substantial acceleration on the vehicle is due to gravity. The initial quaternion can be used for processing various guidance, navigation and control functions.

Abstract: In an electrical connector for an electric vehicle, the spring latch is not sealed; instead, the connector body has holes allowing water entering the spring latch mechanism to drain harmlessly out of the connector. A forward-facing LED or other light source acts as a flashlight. Once the connector is connected, the forward-facing LED is switched off, and a rear-facing LED or other light source is switched on to confirm that the connector is connected and capable of charging the vehicle. The connector is produced by overmolding in a three-layer configuration, where each layer is formed of a material having advantageous materials for that layer's position in the connector.
