A method is shown to improve any forward topology operation to achieve efficient resonant transitions by actively shorting the magnetizing inductance and release the short at another time thus producing lower switching losses independent of frequency. In another embodiment of this invention the current from the output inductor is allowed to go negative before the freewheeling synchronous rectifier is turned off, pushing the current back into the primary to create a soft transition across the switching elements before they are turned on. In another embodiment of the invention a current source is used to inject a negative current through the freewheeling synchronous rectifier before is turned off with the purpose of transferring the current into the primary to discharge the parasitic capacitances of the primary switchers before are turned on. An optimized control method can be utilized to tailor the frequency to create the necessary conditions requested by the embodiments of the invention.

A panel includes a light permeable material that is partially coated with superimposed layers and includes a metallized layer. A print pattern typically has a radiation-reflective surface facing one side of the panel and a radiation-absorbing surface facing the other side of the panel, for example to form a vision control panel, for example a one-way vision, see-through graphic panel.

The invention describes an integrated-photonics arrangement, implementable in a multi-guide vertical integration structure composed from III-V semiconductors and grown in one epitaxial growth run, that allows for vertical and lateral splitting of optical signals co- or bi-directionally propagating in the common passive waveguide into plurality of the vertically integrated passive or active wavelength-designated waveguides, therefore, enabling the wavelength-designated waveguides operating in different wavelengths to be monolithically integrated onto the same substrate and connected to the shared passive waveguide. In the exemplary embodiments of the invention, two active wavelength-designated waveguides, each of which either laser or photodetector, are vertically integrated with a common passive waveguide connected to the input/output optical port shared by both operating wavelengths, to form a single-fiber, two-wavelength receiver (both wavelength-designated waveguides are waveguide photodetectors) or transmitter (both wavelength-designated waveguides are edge-emitting semiconductor injection lasers) or transceiver (one wavelength-designated waveguide is waveguide photodetector and the other—edge-emitting semiconductor injection laser). Advantageously to the previous art, the proposed vertical splitting and lateral routing allows for a reduced footprint size while greatly improving design flexibility and/or device performance.

A screw for a compression dewatering device comprising an elongated shaft having axially spaced apart first and second ends, a conveying section at the first end of the shaft, having a single helical screw flight rigidly projecting from the shaft, a flightless transition section axially adjacent the conveying section, and a dewatering section axially adjacent the transition section, having a double helical screw flight rigidly projecting from the shaft. Another embodiment is a compression screw having a perforated tubular dewatering wall intermediate the ends, followed by an imperforate spool wall at the discharge end. The screw includes a central shaft, a conveying section extending axially from the inlet end of the shaft, having a single helical screw flight rigidly projecting from the shaft, a flightless plug section extending axially from the discharge end of the shaft, within the spool wall, and a dewatering section adjacent the plug section, having a double helical screw flight rigidly projecting from the shaft. A flightless transition section is situated between the conveying section and the dewatering section. A gravity feed device is operatively associated with the inlet end for depositing bulk solids material through the feed opening onto the conveying screw, and a drive system is operatively connected to the inlet end of the screw for rotating the screw in the housing.

Methods for producing ferroelectric device are described. A method includes positioning an organic polymeric ferroelectric layer between two conductive materials to form a stack. The stack can be subjected to a 2-step heat treating process. The first heat treating step transforms the organic polymeric ferroelectric precursor to a ferroelectric material having ferroelectric hysteresis properties, and the second heat treating step densities the ferroelectric material to obtain the ferroelectric device. The thin film ferroelectric device can include a thin film ferroelectric capacitor, a thin film ferroelectric transistor, or a thin film ferroelectric diode.

A water drop muffler for use in a marine exhaust system to silence exhaust noise while separating entrained water from exhaust gas using hydro-dynamic centrifugal separation principles enhanced by turbulent flow. A muffler housing has a top and a bottom, and defines an internal volume bounded by a generally vertically disposed cylindrical inner surface formed about a longitudinal axis. A generally tubular exhaust inlet is disposed in generally tangential relation with the cylindrical inner housing surface for receiving a mixture of exhaust gas and entrained cooling water. A variable geometry flow channel efficiently transitions the flow for discharge through a vertically elongate opening disposed along the length of the housing inner surface thereby creating vortex flow within the housing to maximize the generation of centrifugal forces. The vortex flow formed within the housing causes the relatively heavy water droplets and water vapor (i.e. steam) to be drawn away from the housing axis toward the cylindrical inner surface. In addition, turbulent boundary layer flow along the surfaces of the variable geometry flow forming channel and the other housing surfaces functions to more efficiently draw entrained water droplets and steam into contact with various surfaces within the housing thereby causing water to coalesce along the inner housing surfaces.

An ice auger reversal attachment which couples in-line with an ice auger to selectively reverse direction of the ice auger blade. The ice auger reversal attachment generally includes a mounting assembly adapted to be mounted to an ice auger motor. The mounting assembly includes a locking assembly which is adapted to selectively engage/disengage with an auger reversal assembly which is secured between the ice auger motor and the ice auger blade. Using the locking assembly and auger reversal assembly, the direction of rotation of the ice auger blade may be efficiently transitioned between a forward and reverse direction to aid in removal of slush when drilling a hole through a layer of ice.

A method and system for efficiently transitioning a communication circuit from a low-power state are disclosed. A first device and second device in a low-power state may be transitioned to an active state to enable the transmission of data over a communication link, where energy consumption of one or more components of the first and/or second devices may be reduced in the low-power state. The transition may be initiated by the first device responsive to a signal and/or an expiration of a timer. Responsive thereto, a scrambler of the first device may be temporarily bypassed to accelerate achieving block lock at the second device, thereby enabling the system to more quickly transition from the low-power state to the active state.

In a laser cladding method, a laser beam is emitted from a semiconductor laser to melt alloy powder for laser cladding on the surface of a hydraulic support column. The semiconductor laser is a laser functioning with semiconductor material as gain medium and lighting by means of semiconductor material transition among energy bands. The hydraulic support column is mainly made of alloy steel of 27 SiMn. With the laser cladding method, the energy absorption efficiency of laser beam can be increased, and the energy utilization efficiency is increased, so that the power consumption is saved reduced.
