Inventor: ELIAS MICHAEL J
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2003-01-24
Abstract: An apparatus for absorbing thermal energy has an electronic component, a support structure for the electronic component having a first set of surfaces defining an interior volume containing a plurality of secondary surfaces, and a thermal energy absorbing material integrated within the interior volume, in contact with at least a portion of the secondary surfaces to form a composite structure. The thermal energy absorbing material is in operative thermal communication with the electronic component such that at least a portion of the thermal energy generated by the electronic component flows, via the support structure, into the thermal energy absorbing material. A method for controlling a temperature of an electronic component mounts an electronic component on a support structure in thermal communication with a thermal energy absorbing material integrated into an interior volume of the support structure. At least a portion of a thermal load from the electronic component is transported to the thermal energy absorbing material, and the portion of the thermal load is absorbed with the thermal energy absorbing material while undergoing an endothermic reaction during a phase change of the material, such that a temperature of the electronic component is maintained below a mounting surface temperature.

Filed: 1997-12-29
Abstract: A micromechanical sensor having a polysilicon beam that is an integral part of the diaphragm resulting in a frequency of the beam that is a direct result of the pressure applied to the external surface of the diaphragm. Fabrication of this resonant microbeam sensor has no backside wafer processing, and involves a process and layout independent of wafer thickness for high yield and robustness. Both the diaphragm and resonant beam are formed from polysilicon. The sensor may have more that one resonant beam.

Abstract: A method for compensating for lens aberrations, which includes the steps of: (a) defining a cost
metric which quantifies an imaging performance of an imaging system, where the cost metric reflects
the effects of lens aberrations on the imaging performance; (b) defining a source illumination profile; (c)

Abstract: A position-of-magnetic-pole detecting device includes first and second units for inferring a position of a magnetic pole. The first unit applies a current command while changing an excitation phase, infers a domain, where the position of a magnetic pole lies and which has the width thereof determined with a range of electrical angles, from the direction of rotation in which a motor rotates, and the excitation phase, and reduces the domain so as to infer the position of a magnetic pole. The second unit infers the position of a magnetic pole from a fed-back current returned responsively to a voltage command applied with the excitation phase sequentially changed. Thereafter, a voltage high enough to cause magnetic saturation is applied in order to determine the orientation of a magnetic pole, whereby the position of a magnetic pole is inferred. Although the first unit is selected, if the motor does not move due to friction or the like, the second unit is used to infer the position of a magnetic pole. If the position of a magnetic pole inferred by the second unit differs from one value to another, the first unit is used to infer the position of a magnetic pole.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a hearing aid insert module comprising a socket module, and a substantially closed-loop frame comprising electrically conductive portions, the closed-loop frame further comprising engaging means adapted to releasably coupling the hearing aid insert module to a faceplate of a hearing aid.  The invention is of advantage in that releasable coupling of the faceplate to the socket module via the frame is capable of rendering the insert module easier to manufacture, to user-customize and to repair. The frame is arranged to impart a majority of structural rigidity to the faceplate when inserted therein. Such rigidity is of benefit in that the faceplate is capable in use of applying a flexural component to the frame which could damage the frame if not of sufficiently substantial rigidity.

Abstract: An ink tank (11) includes an ink chamber (31) and a pressure-adjusting tube (22) communicated therewith. Low liquid-repellent areas (41) and high liquid-repellent films (40) having liquid repellence higher than that of the low liquid-repellent areas are formed alternately in the extending direction of the tube (22). A difference in air pressure between both sides of a movable liquid, required for the liquid to enter the high liquid-repellent film when the liquid exists on the low liquid-repellent area disposed adjacently to the high liquid-repellent film on an atmospheric air side, is larger than that of a movable liquid required for the liquid to enter the high liquid-repellent film when the liquid exists on the low liquid-repellent area disposed adjacently to the high liquid-repellent film on an ink chamber side. It is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the internal pressure of the ink chamber (31) of an ink-jet printer by using a simple structure.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates the placement of laminations  10  onto keybars  6  of stator generators frames  2 . Laminations need to be tightly fit onto keybars  6 , however, the same need for tightness makes stacking laminations onto keybars particularly onerous. This is magnified when donuts, which are preassembled groups of laminations, are attempted to be stacked onto the keybars  6 . The present invention provides for enlarged grooves  12  that more easily accept the keybars. This makes stacking laminations, both individually and in donuts, much easier. The laminations are then held in position by the insertion of a wedge  16 . The wedge may be placed to disperse forces  20  transferred to the laminations in a circumferential manner  22 .
