Patent EP-1416288-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ZIMMERMANN CLAUS DR
IPC: G01N21/95
Filed: 2002-10-23
Abstract: The method of optical detection of mechanical defects involves applying a voltage to the pn transition of the semiconductor component to drive the pn transition in the conducting direction. The radiation behavior of the semiconductor layer of the component caused by the application of the voltage is optically detected and analyzed.  The radiation behavior is automatically examined for abrupt single dimensional extended changes in intensity along the semiconductor layer. Detected changes in intensity are characterized as mechanical defects in the semiconductor component. Independent claims also cover the use of such a method and an arrangement for carrying out such a method.

IPC: G11C5/00

Abstract: Systems and methods for an integrated circuit that reduces switching noise including an
inverter network having at least two transistors, a micro-battery, such as a thin film battery,
coupled to the inverter network and a resistor coupled at one end to the micro-battery and
connected to a power source at the other end. When the transistors transition from one logic
state to another logic state, for a period of time more than one transistor is turned on. Unless
controlled, this state produces a high amount of current and a resultant voltage spike. The
current demanded during this transition period is drawn from the micro-battery preventing a peak
voltage flowing to and disrupting the analog components. The battery re-charges gradually and
thus, no voltage spike occurs. Further, integrated circuit components are isolated from the power
line by the resistor that limits the current drawn on the line

Abstract: A method of driving an electrical load ( 113 ) having a
complex electrical impedance, such as a voice-coil motor
controlling the position of a read/write head in a data
storage disk drive system, comprises providing a voltage-mode
driver ( 201 ) generating drive signals for the
electrical load in response to drive commands. Compensated
commands for the voltage-mode driver are generated filtering
( 203 ) the drive commands, compensating a phase shift between
electrical quantities ( V(t),I(t) ) delivered to the
electrical load. The voltage-mode drive thus emulates a
conventional, but more costly, current-mode drive. In a
preferred embodiment, the method comprises estimating ( 205 )
characteristic parameters (R t ) of the electrical load during
the operation, and adapting the filtering to the estimated
characteristic parameters. The estimation comprises
implementing an extended Kalman filtering algorithm.
