摘要： Solar power tracking techniques are described herein. In one aspect of the invention, a solar power tracking apparatus includes, but is not limited to, a voltage converter and a controller coupled to the voltage converter. The voltage converter includes an input capable of being coupled to a solar power source and an output capable of being coupled to an electronic load, such as, for example, a portable electronic device. The voltage converter is configured to monitor or detect an amount of power drawn by the electronic load at the output of the voltage converter. In response to the monitored power drawn, the controller is configured to control the voltage converter to reduce amount of power to be drawn subsequently if the monitored amount of power exceeds a predetermined threshold. As a result, the output voltage from the solar power source is maintained within a predetermined range. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.

摘要： The present invention, generally speaking, provides a highly efficient RF power amplifier having a large output dynamic range. The amplifier avoid the large power dissipation that occurs in the LINC combiner at lower output levels. In general, this is achieved by using power-controlled switch-mode power amplifiers to vary output power at large power outputs, and reverting to LINC only at low output powers. Thus the present invention achieves the desirable combination of high efficiency at all output powers, while maintaining the fine output power control of the LINC method. More particularly, the power amplifier is based on a highly efficient structure in which amplitude modulation/power control of the output of an RF amplifier is achieved by operating the amplifier in switch mode and varying the power supply of the amplifier, as described more fully in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/637,269 entitled High-Efficiency Modulating RF Amplifier, filed Aug. 10, 2000 and incorporated herein by reference. Such an amplifier behaves quite linearly at high power but may exhibit non-linearity at lower output powers. Good linearity throughout a wide dynamic range, and particularly at low output power, may be achieved by phasing and combining the outputs of two (or more) such amplifiers. At high and medium power, the outputs are combined in-phase, allowing for low-loss, high-efficiency operation. At low power, the outputs are phased such that power subtraction occurs. In this manner, each amplifier may be operated at a power level that exhibits good linearity while producing an output signal of a lower power level that would normally fall within a region of substantial non-linearity.
摘要翻译：本发明一般地提供了具有大输出动态范围的高效RF功率放大器。放大器避免了LINC组合器在较低输出电平下发生的大功耗。一般来说，这是通过使用功率控制开关模式功率放大器来改变大功率输出的输出功率而实现的，并且仅在低输出功率下才能还原到LINC。因此，在保持LINC方法的精细输出功率控制的同时，本发明在所有输出功率下实现了高效率的期望组合。更具体地，功率放大器基于高效率的结构，其中通过以开关模式操作放大器并改变放大器的电源来实现RF放大器的输出的幅度调制/功率控制，如下文更全面地描述的美国专利申请 2000年8月10日提交的题为“高效率调制RF放大器”的No.09 / 637,269，并入本文作为参考。这种放大器在高功率下行为相当线性，但是在较低的输出功率下可能呈现非线性。可以通过两个（或多个）这样的放大器的输出相位和组合来实现在宽动态范围内，特别是在低输出功率下的良好线性度。在高功率和中等功率下，输出同相并联，允许低损耗，高效率的操作。在低功率时，输出被分阶段实现功率相减。以这种方式，每个放大器可以以显示良好线性度的功率电平工作，同时产生通常落在基本非线性区域内的较低功率电平的输出信号。

摘要： A packaging technique for electronic devices includes wafer fabrication of contacts on the bottom surface of the substrate underneath the active circuit. Inherently reliable contacts suitable for a variety of devices can be formed, via a simple fabrication process, with good wafer packing density. In one embodiment, a trench is formed in the top surface of a substrate parallel to the edge of its electronic circuit. A gold wire extends from a connection point within the circuit into the trench. The gold wire may run over an insulating layer that ends part way through the trench. After epoxy encapsulating the top of the substrate, it is back thinned to expose the bottom surface of the gold wire. Either the back thinning is selective so as to form a substrate standoff, or an epoxy standoff is applied to the bottom of the substrate. A solderable wire runs onto the standoff from the gold wire exposed on the protrusion, possibly over another insulation layer. If an insulative substrate is used, the insulation layers may be optional. Sawing separates the electronic devices and completes their fabrication, without a subsequent assembly step. In another embodiment, the trench in which the gold wires and the solderable wires connect is formed from the bottom of the substrate after it has been epoxy encapsulated. Optionally, the bottom surface of the substrate of the finished device drops down to be co-planar with the contact bottom surfaces, so as to conduct heat out of the device.

摘要： A network for sensing, communicating and controlling having a plurality of cells which communicate with packets. A packet requesting acknowledgements is transmitted to a plurality of destination cells. The transmitting cell listens for acknowledgements from the destination cells. The transmitting cell waits a predetermined period of time to receive the acknowledgements and then infers that a collision has occurred if a reply is not received from any of the destination cells. Different actions are taken by the transmitting cells as a result of the inference of collision as opposed to a case where the cell receives an acknowledgement from at least one destination cell.
