US Patent:

6369622, Apr 9, 2002

Filed:

Sep 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/408770

Inventors:

Lysander B. Lim - Austin TX
Malcolm Harold Smith - Macungie PA
H. Scott Fetterman - New Tripoli PA

Assignee:

Agere Systems Guardian Corp. - Orlando FL

International Classification:

H03B 1900

US Classification:

327116, 327119, 327122

Abstract:

A phase shifter network receives at an input node an input clock signal which does not contain higher order harmonics and generates first and second phase-shifted clock signals which are 90Â apart and which have the same frequency as the input clock signal. First and second voltage comparators receive the first and second phase-shifted clock signals, respectively, and generates first and second squared clock signals, respectively, which are 90Â apart and which have the same frequency as the input clock signal. A combiner combines the first and second squared clock signals to produce an output clock signal having twice the frequency of the input clock signal.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717113

Abstract:

System and method for performing program-related operations over a network via a web browser. A network connection is established between a server computer and a client computer over a network. A universal resource identifier (URI) is sent from the client computer to the server computer over the network, where the URI indicates a program, e. g. , a graphical program (GP), or at least a portion of a graphical program interactive development environment (GPIDE), e. g. , a graphical program editor, an execution engine, a static or dynamic analyzer, and/or compiler. The at least a portion of the GPIDE is received from the server computer over the network in response to the URI, and executed in a web browser of the client computer to perform some specified functionality with respect to the GP.

International Classification:

F25B 2102

US Classification:

62 36

Abstract:

A refrigerator is provided which combines the benefits of superinsulation materials with thermoelectric devices and phase change materials to provide an environmentally benign system that is energy efficient and can maintain relatively uniform temperatures for extended periods of time with relatively low electrical power requirements. The refrigerator includes a thermoelectric assembly having a thermoelectric device with a hot sink and a cold sink. The superinsulation materials include a plurality of vacuum panels. The refrigerator is formed from an enclosed structure having a door. The vacuum panels may be contained within the walls of the enclosed structure and the door. By mounting the thermoelectric assembly on the door, the manufacturer of the enclosed structure is simplified and the overall R rating of the refrigerator increased. Also an electrical motor and propellers may be mounted on the door to assist in the circulation of air to improve the efficiency of the cold sink and the hot sink. A propeller and/or impeller is preferably mounted within the refrigerator to assist in establishing the desired air circulation flow path.

Abstract:

A method and system integrates personal computer components to in an efficient manner that accommodates footprint and EMI demands. A base structure supports a flat panel display and enhances the stability of the display by placing the personal computer on the base structure. A support housing provides an attachment point for the display and also forms a cable cavity to enhance cable management for cables that interface external components with the personal computer. The personal computer has an inner casing with a mother board segment coupled in a hinged manner to a housing segment. The inner casing opens along the hinge to allow access to internal personal computer components, and closes during operation of the personal computer to meet EMI specifications. An outer casing encases the inner casing to enhance integration of the personal computer with other system components, such as by having a shape that conforms to the shape of a recess formed in the base structure. A CDROM drive support assembly attaches to the upper part of the inner casing and includes a support tongue that moves in cooperation with a CDROM drive door to minimize the risk of damage to the door.
