Filed:

Dec 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/734868

Inventors:

Richard Earl Miller - Mt. Laurel NJ
Robert Michael Reese - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Moorestown NJ

International Classification:

H01Q 322

US Classification:

342368, 342174

Abstract:

An array of antenna elements is arranged to calibration by assigning certain ones of the elements to be âkernelâ elements. The kernel elements are coupled to the beamformer by way of a directional coupler arrangement, and calibration ports are coupled to ports of the directional coupler. Calibration includes applying signal to a first calibration port of a kernel element and determining the amplitude andor phase of the calibration signal paths. Signals are applied to the beamformer ports feeding the kernel element, and the lengths of the beamformer-plus-calibration paths are determined. From these, the beamformer paths to the kernel elements are determined. Other non-kernel antenna elements near the kernel elements are calibrated by applying signal through the beamformer to the non-kernel element, and receiving the signal through a calibration path of the kernel element.

Lockheed Martin Corporation - Bethesda MD

International Classification:

H01L 2334

US Classification:

257713, 257714, 257721

Abstract:

A cooling arrangement useful for semiconductors or solid-state assemblages mounts the semiconductor or other solid-state device directly onto a first surface of a thermally conductive âheat spreader. â The heat spreader contains microchannels which open into coolant fluid ports on the second side of the heat spreader. The heat spreader, in turn, is mounted on a coolant fluid distribution or circulation plate. In one embodiment, the coolant fluid distribution plate also includes a micropump for circulating coolant fluid through the microchannels of the heat spreader. In another embodiment, the coolant fluid distribution plate simply distributes coolant applied to its fluid input port to those heat spreaders mounted thereon, and a plurality of coolant fluid distribution plates are mounted on a coolant fluid circulation plate, which uses a micropump to circulate coolant fluid to the various distribution plates and ultimately to the heat spreaders. Thus, coolant fluid is communicated directly into the support for the semiconductor chip or other solid-state device, for good heat transfer with low temperature drop. ( ).

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370217, 710305

Abstract:

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing a set of signal paths for a chip. A defective signal path within the set of signal paths for the chip is detected. Signals are re-routed through the set of signal paths such that the defective signal path is removed from the set of signal paths and sending signals using remaining data signal paths in the set of signal paths and using an extra signal path in response to detecting the defective signal path.

International Classification:

H04L 7/00

US Classification:

375354

Abstract:

A parallel data link includes a redundant line. A bank of switches permits any arbitrary line of the link to be enabled or disabled for carrying functional data, each line being dynamically calibrated in turn by disabling the line and allowing other lines to carry the functional data. The switches are located downstream of alignment mechanisms so that data input to the switches is compensated for data skew. Preferably, receiver synchronization circuitry in each line operates in a respective independent clock domain, while the switches and calibration mechanism operate in a common clock domain. Preferably, the receiver synchronization circuits provide an adjustable delay corresponding to a variable number of clock cycles to align the outputs of the receiver synchronization circuits with respect to one another, which can accommodate high data skew.

Appl. No.:

7/459864

Inventors:

Robert M. Reese - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Moorestown NJ

International Classification:

H01P 118

US Classification:

323212

Abstract:

A compact, liquid cooled, ferrite phase shifter is capable of handling high power microwave signals without thermally stressing the ferrite core. The ferrite core is mounted on spacers inside of a hermetically sealed wave guide filled with a thermally conducting fluid. Heat transfer from the core to the housing is symmetrical thereby eliminating or minimizing thermal bending stresses on the phase shifter. Heat from the core is also coupled through the fluid to the phase shifter window for deicing the window.

Abstract:

A security device for preventing the unauthorized access to credit accounts accessible through electronic transaction systems includes a generally flat piece of material having a first surface on one face thereof. The first surface includes an opening extending along the plane of the one face from the first surface to a second surface on the other face of the piece of material. A generally flat strap extends in the opening and is secured at opposite ends thereof to the piece of material for manipulating the security device in relation to an electronic transaction system.
