Title: Anti-interference switching value transmission circuit
Inventor: XU GANG
IPC: H01H71/04
Filed: 2013-08-23
Abstract: An anti-interference switching value transmission circuit. A changeover contact is used at a signal terminal, wherein a normally closed contact is connected to a switching value DC-, a normally open contact is connected to a switching value DC+, and a common terminal is connected to a switching value acquisition loop. When no signal exists, the DC- is connected to a positive input end of the switching value acquisition loop through the normally closed contact. Because a negative input end of the switching value acquisition loop is also connected to the DC-, even if interference is caused, no false signal is generated. When a signal exists, the position of the changeover contact changes and the DC+ is connected to the DC- through the closed normally open contact and the switching value acquisition loop to form a loop so that the signal can be reflected. The interference problem is solved by connecting the two ends of the acquisition loop to the switching value DC- when no signal exists.

Title: Improvements Relating to Scatter in X-Ray Apparatus and Methods of their use
Inventor: PAUL SCOTT
IPC: G16H30/40
Filed: 2015-10-05
Abstract: An x-ray apparatus comprises an x-ray source and an x-ray detector. Between source and detector is a member perturbing characteristics of x-ray photons. Examples of this include translucent, rotating or moving lamellae, multi-absorption plates (MAP) with regions of different thickness, corrugated memory metal or piezoelectric control of collimator shape. A first database sores signal output values representative of material type and material thicknesses. A second database stores scatter kernels indicative of material type and/or material thicknesses. An algorithm compares the output signal of the x-ray detector with values in the first database to output a most likely material and/or thickness from the first database; selects from the second database the scatter kernels associated with the material type and/or material thickness; and removes the scatter radiation from an output signal of the x-ray detector. The algorithm may also add to the output the scatter signal as if it was direct radiation and iterate.

Title: Display system
Inventor: JAMIESON CHRISTMAS
IPC: G03H1/22
Filed: 2016-03-03
Abstract: A display system comprising a data provider, a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) 701 and a second cylindrical lens 750. The data provider provides first data to the SLM, wherein the first data corresponds to a first cylindrical lens implemented as lensing data in holographic data supplied to the SLM. The first cylindrical lens has optical power in a first direction. The spatial light modulator receives the holographic data, wherein the spatial light modulator spatially-modulates the received light in accordance with the holographic data. The second cylindrical lens, which may be a physical lens, receives the spatially-modulated light from the spatial light modulator and performs a one dimensional Fourier transform of the received light in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction. The arrangement is intended to reduce intense unwanted zero-order (DC order) light from the reconstructed image, such that it is limited to only part 707 of the holographic reconstruction plane 705.

Title: Epitaxial structure for improving efficiency drop of GaN-based LED
Inventor: JING JU
IPC: H01L33/32
Filed: 2015-07-20
Abstract: Proposed is an epitaxial structure for improving the efficiency drop of an LED. The epitaxial structure comprises a substrate (10), and a GaN underlying layer, a superlattice stress relief layer (50), a multi-quantum well layer (60), a P-type InGaN insertion layer (70), a P-type electron blocking layer (80) and a P-shaped GaN layer (90) which are stacked in sequence on the substrate. The P-type InGaN insertion layer (70) is inserted between the last potential barrier of the multi-quantum well layer (60) and the P-type electron blocking layer (80), an In component of the P-type InGaN insertion layer (70) gradually increases from close to the multi-quantum well layer (60) to the electron blocking layer (80) and uses pulsed Mg-doping. As such, leakage of electrons to a P end can be reduced, and at the other hand, injection from a hole to an active region can be enhanced. The problem of the efficiency drop of a GaN-based LED can be solved, and the luminescence efficiency at a large current condition can be improved.

Title: A power electronics module and a method of protecting a solid state switching device in a power electronics module
Inventor: MOHAMED SATHIK
IPC: H03K17/08
Filed: 2017-07-21
Abstract: A solid state switching device M1 (e.g. MOSFET, IGBT) in a power electronics module (e.g. inverter) is protected in the event of a short circuit fault. The power electronics module includes; at least one solid state switching device, a gate driver, a controller and a current limiting diode D1. The controller provides a gate signal to the gate driver. The gate driver connects to, and provides a drive input to, a gate terminal of the switching device to activate the switching device. The current limiting diode is connected in parallel between the gate driver and the switching device and is connected to ground via a fault protection switch S1. The fault protection switch is activated in the event of a short circuit fault and protects the switching device by limiting the current received by the switching device. A fault detector includes a comparator that compares a voltage received from a collector terminal of the switching device against a threshold voltage. If the voltage exceeds the threshold, a control signal indicating a short circuit fault is used to trigger the fault protection switch. The controller may assess the severity of the fault based on the voltage. If the fault exceeds a shut-down threshold, the gate driver and, thus, the switching device is disabled.
