This technology relates to the decorrelation of audio signals for use in surround sound techniques. Decorrelation improves listener envelopment and spatial immersion, but prior techniques suffer from unwanted timbre coloration and are computationally expensive. The present technology improves decorrelation by utilizing a pseudorandom sequence and a reciprocal of the…
This technology relates to high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). In conventional off-type HEMTs, a large amount of gate threshold voltage variation is often found. Transistors according to this technology include a p-type region, a barrier region, an insulation film, a gate electrode, and a channel region. The channel region is connected to an upper surface of the p-…
This technology provides an improved MOSFET structure for power switching applications. An n- GaN reduced surface field (RESURF) region is created using epitaxial growth and selective etching of an n- drift layer. This is followed by ion implantation to achieve n GaN contact regions for the source and drain. This avoids the difficulties in controlling doping levels, leakage…
Optical concentrators are used to focus sunlight onto a smaller area where a photovoltaic cell is located in order to reduce the total area (and cost) of PV cells. Concentrators often have problems assocated with higher temperatures and the need to be moved to track the movement of the sun. This technology utilizes double sided PVs and multiple optical elements as a…
To implement hybrid nanodevices consisting of nanowire crossbars on top of a CMOS backplane, the challenge is to interface between the relatively coarse features of the CMOS domain and the dense nanowires above. Such an interface can be realised through a microwire to nanowire demultiplexer. This technology provides a hybrid demultiplexer architecture that combines both…
Coating particulate material can often enhance the physical and chemical properties of the material including improved insulation properties, improved abrasion resistance, and improved strength. However, coated particulate materials are often porous and tend to absorb gases and liquids, which destroy the material, or at the very least, interfere with its insulating properties…
Conventional laterla trench-based components, such as trench lateral transistors, typically have a substantial undesirable capacitance related to the overlap of gate and drain electrodes in the same trench. Particularly, many trench-type lateral transistors are fabricated with the gate and the drain formed in the same trench, typically separated by an oxide layer. The overlap…
An edge illuminated photovoltaic device is a photovoltaic device in which light illuminates a p-n junction through the edge of the device (i.e. in the direction substantially non-parallel) to the direction defined by the devices electrical contacts to the outer surface. While these devices are advantageous, they are yet to achieve the high efficiency and low cost required for…
The use of fillers in both thermoplastic and thermoset polymers has been common. The practice of filling polymers is motivated both by cost reduction and by the need to obtain altered or enhanced properties. Nanostructured dielectric materials have demonstrated advantages over micro-filled polymer dielectrics. However, this is a need to improve these nanocomposites such that…
Many proteins lose enzymatic activity in harsh environments, such as non-optimal pH or temperature, or exposure to organic solvents. This invention is based on the discovery that by attaching certain proteins to single-walled carbon nanotubes ("SWNT"), protein function under such harsh conditions can be dramatically improved. Two enzymes which were stabilized in this…
