摘要： A temperature limiting control for an electrical heating appliance such as a ceramic hob comprises switch means (11) and a temperature sensor (10) connnected thereto. The temperature sensor comprises an elongate reference member (12) of ceramic or other low expansion material and an elongate expansion member (13), for example a tape of high chrome steel, relative expansion of the two members operating the switch. The switch (11) and reference member (13) lie to one side of the expansion member (12) so that the latter may be placed closely adjacent the top (2) of the appliance.

摘要： An apparatus and method are disclosed which provide a substantially linear relationship between an input signal, such as an input voltage or current, and a predetermined parameter, such as a frequency response or capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor or varactor. The apparatus comprises a square root converter and a logarithmic generator. The square root converter is adapted to provide a square root signal which is substantially proportional to a square root of the input signal. In the various embodiments, the logarithmic generator is adapted to provide an applied signal which is substantially proportional to a sum of a logarithm of the input signal plus the square root of the input signal. The applied signal is a pre-distorted signal which generally has a non-linear relation to the predetermined parameter and which, when applied, allows the predetermined parameter to vary substantially linearly with the input signal.

摘要： A pseudo Set/Reset latch circuit is configured with modified NOR or NAND gates wherein one of the series pull-up devices or pull-down devices is removed. A minimum of three pseudo Set/Reset latches may be coupled as a ring oscillator generating an output and a non-skewed complementary output. Additionally, feed-forward inverting stages may be coupled in parallel with inverting paths in the ring oscillator primary path to further increase the frequency range of the ring oscillator. The pseudo Set/Reset latch circuits and the feed-forward inverting stages may be configured with voltage controlled devices that alter the delay of the stages as a means for varying the frequency of the ring oscillator either by varying the current drive of the circuitry driving the output of the latch stages or by varying the conductance of devices coupling between the latch stages. Feedforward inverting stages may comprise pseudo latches or inverter gates.

摘要： A silicone matrix is employed to form a substance-sensitive membrane which is particularly suited for installation on a solid state sensor. The ionophore may be a potassium ionophore, an ammonium ionophore or any other ionophore. The membrane may be coupled to the molecule of interest through a bioactive agent, such as an enzyme, an immunochemical, bacteria, antibody, virus, or antigen. The resulting substance-sensitive membrane has electrochemical properties which compare favorably to those of conventional PVC membranes, and exhibit significantly greater adhesion to glasses and semiconductor substrate materials. The improved adhesion will prolong the life of the sensors and prevent the formation of electrolyte shunts which have been known to render solid state sensors inoperative.

摘要： A multi-threshold integrated circuit (IC) with reduced subthreshold leakage and method of reducing leakage. Selectable supply switching devices (NFETs and/or PFETs) between a logic circuit and supply connections (Vdd and Ground) for the circuit have higher thresholds than normal circuit devices. Some devices may have thresholds lowered when the supply switching devices are on. Header/footer devices with further higher threshold voltages and widths may be used to further increase off resistance and maintain/reduce on resistance. Alternatively, high threshold devices may be stacked to further reduce leakage to a point achieved for an even higher threshold. Intermediate supply connects at the devices may have decoupling capacitance and devices may be tapered for optimum stack height and an optimum taper ratio to minimize circuit leakage and circuit delay.

摘要： MEMS-based, computer system, clock generation and oscillator circuits and LC-tank apparatus for use therein are provided and which are fabricated using a CMOS-compatible process. A micromachined inductor (L) and a pair of varactors (C) are developed in metal layers on a silicon substrate to realize the high quality factor LC-tank apparatus. This micromachined LC-tank apparatus is incorporated with CMOS transistor circuitry in order to realize a digital, tunable, low phase jitter, and low power clock, or time base, for synchronous integrated circuits. The synthesized clock signal can be divided down with digital circuitry from several GHz to tens of MHz—a systemic approach that substantially improves stability as compared to the state of the art. Advanced circuit design techniques have been utilized to minimize power consumption and mitigate transistor flicker noise upconversion, thus enhancing clock stability.

摘要： Laminated devices and methods of making same are provided. A fluidic channel is formed in the inner layers of a laminate such as multilayer printed circuit board (PCB) and a hole is opened to the outer layers to allow fluid's access to a chip which contains chemical sensors. Several diaphragms are formed on each side of the chip access hole using the PCB as their substrate. Electromagnetic actuation of these diaphragms by solenoids housed inside the PCB drives or pumps fluid through the channel in a peristaltic fashion. By employing various channel geometries and/or the deposition of hydrophobic/hydrophillic layers, valves are provided in the channels.

摘要： A micromachined device such as a solid-state liquid chemical sensor for receiving and retaining a plurality of separate liquid droplets at desired sites, a method of making the device and a method of using the device are provided. The technique works for both aqueous and solvent-based solutions. The device includes a substrate having an upper surface, and a first set of three-dimensional, thin film well rings patterned at the upper surface of the substrate. Each of the wells is capable of receiving and retaining a known quantity of liquid at one of the desired sites through surface tension. A method for patterning a membrane/solvent solution results in reproducibly-sized, uniformly-thick membranes. The patterning precision of this method allows one to place the membranes closer together, making the sensors smaller and less expensive, and the uniform film thickness imparts reproducibility to the sensors.
