Title: Polymer memory element stable to repeated read access operations
Inventor: JACKSON WARREN B
IPC: H01L51/00
Filed: 2005-01-14
Abstract: An organic polymer-based memory element stable to repeated READ operations comprises a conductive organic polymer layer 1206 sandwiched between two electrodes 1202, 1210 where applying a voltage potential across the memory element causes a decrease in the conductivity of the polymer layer 1206. The memory element is repeatedly writable by applying a WRITE threshold to place the polymer layer 1206 in a first conductivity state and repeatedly readable by applying a READ threshold placing the polymer layer 1206 in a second conductivity state. Entry of electrons into the polymer layer 1206 lags initiation of a hole current within the polymer layer 1206 following application of a voltage across the memory element. Therefore, stable memory elements are fabricated by introducing electron blocking layers 1208 and/or limiting the time duration of applied voltages during READ access operations.

IPC: A23B7/005
Filed: 2006-01-25
Abstract: Oil palm fruit is sterilized by feeding bunches of fruit into a vertical sterilizer that sterilizes the fruit with steam and water. The fruit is charged via inlet 50. A blow down valve 58 and a bleed-off valve 60 are closed. A water valve 62 is opened to pass water into the sterilizer and to displace air/steam. The water also washes the fruit and dampens the impact of the bunches of fresh fruit when loading the sterilizer. The water valve is closed when water reaches the air vent valve 66. Steam inlet valve 68 is opened and increases the pressure in the vessel. Water is discharged via blow down valve 58 to about mid-level and then second steam inlet valve 70 is opened to inject more steam. Once water and condensate have been drained the blow down valve 58 is closed and the bleed-off valve 60 is opened to continuously remove any condensate generated throughout the cycle. The fruit is then discharged from the vertical sterilizer and onto a bunch conveyor for further processing, for example stripping pressing and kernel recovery.

Title: Decoupled stacked bulk acoustic resonator band-pass filter with controllable pass bandwith
Inventor: LARSON JOHN D III
IPC: H01L41/22
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: The band-pass filter (100) has a lower film bulk acoustic resonator, FBAR, (110), an upper FBAR (120) stacked on the lower FBAR, and, between the FBARs, an acoustic decoupler (130) comprising a layer (131) of acoustic decoupling material. Each of the FBARs has opposed planar electrodes (112, 114) and a piezoelectric element (116) between the electrodes. The acoustic decoupler controls the coupling of acoustic energy between the FBARs. Specifically, the acoustic decoupler couples less acoustic energy between the FBARs than would be coupled by direct contact between the FBARs. The reduced acoustic coupling gives the band-pass filter desirable in-band and out-of-band properties.

Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: The invention, referred to as a multi-channel output array, relates to the control of the direction of rotation of multiple DC motors such as seat motors. A group of four FET switches (fig.1) built as a single integrated circuit device (fig.2) may operate as an H-bridge; for example device 8b (fig.3) controls motor 54 (fig.3). The switches at terminals 34 and 38 of device 8b are also shared by motors 44, 46, 56 and 58. For these motors, the sides of an 'H' are located in different devices, thus five motors are controlled using only three devices each containing four switches. To permit such operation, it is possible to turn on two high-side switches (10, 16, fig.1) in each device. FETs 10 and 16 (fig.1) share a common heat slug 22 (fig.2) to improve the amount of heat each can dissipate when passing current. Also disclosed is monitoring of motor brush ripple to determine the position of a seat.
