摘要： A charge transfer structure (30) includes a substrate comprised of semiconductor material and, coupled to a surface of the substrate, a plurality of serially coupled devices each having a gate terminal. The plurality of serially coupled devices include a first single port device (D1) defining a first primary charge storage well, a second single port device (D3) defining a second primary charge storage well, a first two port device (D2) defining a first transfer device, a second two port device (D4) defining a second transfer device, and two instances of a third two port device each defining a cascode device (CD). The ports of these devices are serially coupled together in an order given by D1, D2, CD, D3, D4, CD for transferring charge between the first and second primary charge storage wells. Charge is inserted into and withdrawn from each of the first and second primary charge storage wells through a single diffusion that functions as both an input port and an output port. A clock signal (P1) applied to the gate of D1 and a clock signal (P3) applied to the gate of D3 are each predetermined to deplete an underlying surface region of the substrate for forming the first primary charge storage well and the second primary charge storage well, respectively, without requiring the use of diffusion implants as in conventional bucket brigade devices.

摘要： A lean burn gas turbine combustor has a premixer zone receiving compressor discharge air through openings in a combustor liner. A fuel nozzle has an upstream orifice 52, a downstream orifice 56, and a captured response volume 54 therebetween. Upstream orifice 52 affords a high pressure drop for gaseous fuel to approximately the pressure of the compressor discharge air. The low pressure discharge orifice affords a pressure drop comparable to the pressure drop across the openings of the combustor liner for the air supply. The dynamic pressure response characteristics of the fuel and air inlets to the premixer zone are substantially matched to eliminate variations in fuel/air concentration resulting from pressure variations in the premixer zone. The captured response volume between the upstream and downstream orifices is sized sufficiently to store enough fuel to accommodate the mismatch in phase angle of fuel flowing into the captured response volume through the upstream orifice at a first phase angle relative to the phase angle of a pressure forcing function in the premixer zone and fuel flowing out of the captured response volume through the downstream fuel discharge orifice at a second phase angle relative to the phase angle of the pressure forcing function.

The anti-reflective layer has an outer surface disposed within a recess of a protective layer of optically transmissive material, such that the outer surface is protected by the recess and the protective layer from being contacted. The outer surface is further disposed along an optical path of an optical device disposed inwardly from the outer surface. The anti-reflective layer has an average cross-sectional thickness that is less than an average cross-sectional thickness of the protective layer. The method further includes modulating the light beam using the anti-reflective layer.

摘要： A differential current mode amplifier circuit (5,5′) includes a first circuit leg having a first current source providing a current I1 coupled in series with a first transistor (m1) at a first circuit node (n1). The first transistor has a control terminal for coupling to an input signal potential (Vs). Vs is obtained from a unit cell of a radiation detector array, and is indicative of a magnitude of an integrated, photon-induced charge. The first circuit leg outputs a first output current (Is). A second circuit leg includes a second current source providing a current I2 coupled in series with a second transistor (m2) at a second circuit node (n2). The second transistor has a control terminal for coupling to an input reference potential (Vr). The second circuit leg outputs a second output current (Ir). A resistance (Rs) is coupled between the first circuit leg and the second circuit leg at the first circuit node and the second node. The current flow through Rs is proportional to a difference between Vs and Vr, and is thus indicative of a magnitude of Vs.
