Appl. No.:

09/581951

Inventors:

Lawrence Y. Lam - Rancho Palos Verdes CA 90275
Michael Lam - Los Altos Hills CA 94024

International Classification:

B64C 906

US Classification:

244217

Abstract:

An aircraft aileron system ( ) is comprised of two panels ( ) located at the rear portion of the wing (W ), in a spanwise direction and aligned with the wings trailing edge. The panels are independently hinged at their leading edges and rotate to make angular deflections with respect to the wing. The upper, aileron panel ( ) is restricted to upward deflection only from its neutral position and in operation is deployed independently as an aileron. The lower, auxiliary flap panel ( ) is capable of both upward and downward deflections from its neutral position, and is deployed independently downward as an auxiliary flap. Both panels are deployed together upwardly only as an aileron. Alternatively, the auxiliary flap panel is capable of downward deployment only, to provide a simpler aileron system. For roll control of an aircraft during cruise, the aileron panel on one side only is deflected up while the aileron panel on the other side remains in its neutral position.

Abstract:

An LED driver circuit and method are disclosed where a plurality of arrays of light emitting diodes each have a transistor connected to each respective array of light emitting diodes. A PWM controller has an input for receiving a voltage reference and an output connected to selected transistors for driving the selected transistors and setting a PWM duty cycle for the selected arrays of light emitting diodes to determine the brightness of selected light emitting diodes. An oscillator is connected to the PWM controller for driving the PWM controller.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717136

Abstract:

A method of translating computer source code into optimized object code. The computer source code contains a first label statement defining a first label, a second label statement defining a second label, a third label statement defining a third label, and a computed goto statement for instructing a computer to branch to the first label or to the second label, but not to the third label. The method includes generating a list of labels contained within at least a portion of the computer source code. The list of labels includes the first label and the second label, but not the third label. The method also includes translating the computer source code into an intermediate language. The translation of the computer source code includes translating the computed goto statement into an indirect goto statement within the intermediate language. The method also includes generating object code that includes the first label and the second label but does not include the third label.

Inventors:

Michael Lam - Los Altos Hills CA, US

International Classification:

B64C 13/28
B64C 9/14

US Classification:

244 993

Abstract:

An aircraft control system is presented. The system includes a wing including a flap track, and a shuttle connected to the flap track and configured to slide along a length of the flap track. The system includes a flap panel pivotally attached to the shuttle at a flap pivot. The flap panel is configured to rotate about the flap pivot. When the shuttle is deployed along a length of the flap track, the shuttle is configured to prevent rotation of the flap panel about the flap pivot, and when the shuttle is withdrawn into a stowed position, the shuttle is configured to allow the flap panel to rotate about the flap pivot.

International Classification:

B64C 13/04
B64C 13/28

US Classification:

244221

Abstract:

A mechanical control mixer configured to couple to an aircraft is provided. An axle is mounted to a frame of the mechanical control mixer, and a barrel is configured to rotate about the axle. A central rod is disposed within the barrel. The central rod is configured to rotate with respect to the barrel. A roll control input is connected to the central rod. The roll control input is configured to cause the central rod to rotate within the barrel. Output control rods are connected to the central rod. The output control rods are connected to at least one control surface of the aircraft. An air brake input is connected to the barrel. The air brake input is configured to cause the barrel to rotate about the axle to move at least one of the output control rods

H01L 3112

US Classification:

257 99

Abstract:

A light-emitting diode assembly incorporates a power shunting element that provides electrical over-stress protection to a light-emitting diode (LED) and prevents damage to the LED from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The power shunting element is coupled in parallel to the LED within the LED assembly and protects the LED by diverting electrical current from the LED and limiting the voltage across the LED to a clamp voltage when a threshold voltage across the LED is exceeded.

International Classification:

G03F 7/20

Abstract:

Disclosed are techniques for correcting the EUV crosstalk effects. Isolated mask feature component diffraction signals associated with individual layout feature components are determined based on a component-based mask diffraction modeling method such as a domain decomposition method. Mask feature component diffraction signals are then determined based on the isolated mask feature component diffraction signals, layout data and predetermined crosstalk signals. Here, the predetermined crosstalk signals are derived based on mask feature component diffraction signals computed using an electromagnetic field solver and the component-based mask diffraction modeling method, respectively. The mask feature component diffraction signals are then used to process layout designs.
