view source
US Patent:

8388104, Mar 5, 2013
Filed:

Jul 25, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/782733
Inventors:

Rick M. Tanaka - Vancouver WA, US
Algird M. Gudaitis - Vancouver WA, US
David K. Klaffenbach - Battle Ground WA, US
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

view source
US Patent:

20120293992, Nov 22, 2012
Filed:

May 16, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/108483
Inventors:

David K. Klaffenbach - Imperial MO, US
International Classification:

F21V 9/00
US Classification:

362231
Abstract:

An illumination system for illuminating a first biologic substance and a second biologic substance, comprising a first light output device capable of outputting polychromatic first light, a second light output device capable of outputting polychromatic second light, the first light output device and the second light output device selected such that (i) a first apparent color results when the first light is scattered from the first biologic substance and a second apparent color results when the second light is scattered from the first biologic substance, the first apparent color and the second apparent color being substantially the same as one another and (ii) a third apparent color results when the first light is scattered from the second biologic substance and a fourth apparent color results when the second light is scattered from the second biologic substance, the third apparent color and the fourth apparent color being substantially different than one another, and means for temporally modulating amounts of the first light and amounts of the second light in a light output from the system.

Motor Drive System Controlled By A Phase Accumulator And Method Therefor
view source
US Patent:

60060085, Dec 21, 1999
Filed:

May 29, 1997
Appl. No.:

8/865431
Inventors:

David Kurt Klaffenbach - Versailles KY
Harald Portig - Versailles KY
Thomas Campbell Wade - Lexington KY
Assignee:

Lexmark International, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:

H02P 5165
US Classification:

388813
Abstract:

A high resolution speed control for a DC or BLDC phase-locked-loop (PLL) motor is provided. A phase accumulator sends a time varying frequency reference to the PLL input, where the average frequency sets the motor speed with a high degree of accuracy. A post divider is used to reduce the number of circuits required to implement the function.
