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 relates to solid-state devices as replacements for incandescent light bulbs. The LED based bulb uses the normal Edison socket, but the LED and heat sink are placed on the far end of the bulb. The heat sink attaches to the bottom and outside of the bulb providing a structural base for the LED. Several alternative shapes for the light guide are provided to…
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…
Existing liquid lense optical focusing strategies use liquid lenses after transient oscillations have dampened. The challenge with this existing liquid lens approach is two-fold. The first issue is to overcome the liquid inertia to enable a rapid state change, and the second, is to minimize the time it takes for transients induced during stoppage to Subside. Many systems use…
Many times following orthopedic surgery or injury to lower extremeties patients are advised to gradually bear weight on their limb. Since patients do not want to cause further damage or pain to the injury they put little to no weight on the area. The application is necessary, however, for proper recovery. This invention is a mechanical device that indicates to the patient when…
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…
