A method of operating an anti-phase six degree-of-freedom tuning fork gyroscope system comprises the steps of driving a first three degree-of-freedom gyroscope subsystem, and driving a second three degree-of freedom gyroscope subsystem in an anti-phase mode with the first gyroscope subsystem at an anti-phase resonant frequency. Acceleration or an angular rate of motion is sensed by the first and second three degree-of-freedom gyroscope subsystems operating in a flat frequency response range where the anti-phase resonant frequency is designed. Response gain and phase are stable and environmental and fabrication perturbations are avoided by such operation. A anti-phase six degree-of-freedom tuning fork gyroscope system which operates as described is also characterized.

Real time, high-speed image stabilization with a retinal tracking scanning laser ophthalmoscope (TSLO) enables new approaches to established diagnostics. Large frequency range (DC to 19 kHz), wide-field (40-deg) stabilized Doppler flowmetry imaging is described for human subjects. The fundus imaging method is a quasi-confocal line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO). The retinal tracking system uses a confocal reflectometer with a closed loop optical servo system to lock onto features in the ocular fundus and automatically re-lock after blinks. By performing a slow scan with the laser line imager, frequency-resolved retinal perfusion and vascular flow images can be obtained free of eye motion artifacts.

A reduced storage capacitor is used for shrinking a memory cell in DRAM, and local bit line is divided into short line for reducing parasitic capacitance. For reading, a first reduced swing amplifier as a local sense amp reads the memory cell through the local bit line, and a second reduced swing amplifier as a global sense amp reads the local sense amp through a global bit line. With the multi-stage sense amps, time domain sensing scheme is realized such that a voltage difference in the local bit line is converted to a time difference, for differentiating high data and low data, and also fast read operation is realized. And write operation is executed by a reduced swing write driver. With reduced voltage swing, pseudo negative word line scheme is realized for retaining data, and power consumption is reduced. In addition, various alternative circuits and memory cell structures are implemented.

An amplifier circuit includes first (7A) and second (7B) operational amplifiers connected in a generally parallel configuration, each with inputs coupled through the same pair of matched input resistors which receive a differential input signal that may have both a positive and negative common mode range. An offset adjustment amplifier (17) receives a differential error signal representative of the difference between offset voltages of the first and second operational amplifiers and generates offset adjustment signals that are applied to input stages of the first and second operational amplifiers to adjust their respective offset voltages so as to equalize them. With the offset voltages equalized, the first and second operational amplifiers operate seamlessly as a common mode component of the differential input signal undergoes a transition from its positive to its negative range, so as to avoid inaccuracies and abrupt changes in an output voltage during the transition, the output voltage being produced in response to outputs of both first and second operational amplifiers.

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of processing components between rotationally coupled housing portions through a thermal spreader disposed between the housing portions, such as a sheet having one or more layers of graphite. A tensioning assembly engages the thermal sheet to manage excess material associated with varying rotational orientations of the housing portions.

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of a CPU to a location distal the CPU with a vapor chamber thermally interfaced with the CPU. A pressure adapter interfaced with the vapor chamber selectively changes the pressure within the vapor chamber to adjust the saturation point of a liquid in the vapor chamber that manages thermal transfer efficiency. For example, a controller interfaced with the pressure adapter modifies thermal transfer characteristics of the vapor chamber to control thermal conditions at the information handling system, such as in response to a temperature sensed at a housing surface, a battery, a display or at other locations of the information handling system.

Provided are an optical display device manufacturing system and an optical display device manufacturing method which can more preferably carry out a defect inspection. A detection condition of a defect in the inspection of an optical film before being bonded to an optical display unit carried out by a defect inspection apparatus (14, 24) is corrected based on the result of inspection of the optical display device with the optical film bonded, carried out by an inspection apparatus (30), and the optical film including the defects detected by the defect inspection apparatuses (14, 24) based on the corrected detection condition are excluded. Accordingly, since it is possible to adjust the standard of the defect inspection carried out by the defect inspection apparatus (14, 24) in conformity to the standard of the defect inspection which is later carried out by the inspection apparatus (30), it is possible to more preferably carry out the defect inspection, and it is possible to improve a yield ratio of the optical film.

A plurality of data signals are separated into parallel bit streams with each parallel stream having a bandwidth characteristic such that the combined cumulative effect of all the individual bandwidths produces a spectral characteristic of the data signals that match the spectral high speed data characteristic of a twisted pair

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of processing components in a first housing portion to a thermal exchanger in a second housing portion through a hinge that rotationally couples the first and second housing portions. The hinge has first and second axles that each define a channel. Fluid heated at the first housing portion passes through the channel to the thermal exchanger where thermal energy is rejected from the system. In one embodiment, a second hinge having first and second axles that each define a channel provides a return path for the fluid from the second housing portion to the first housing portion.

The waveguide transition (50) is a single microstrip-to-slotline transition (50) from the input microstrip waveguide (44) and to a slotline (32) in a ground plane (34, 36) of the microstrip waveguide (44). The slotline (32) is terminated at a first end (38) via a wedge (40) in the ground plane (34, 46). A second end (42) of the slotline (32) provides an output of the balun (20). The input signal (52, 54) includes a first input signal (52) and a second input signal (54), which are input at opposite ends (38, 42) of the input microstrip waveguide (44). The first input signal (52) and the second input signal (54) have a desired differential mode component and an undesired common mode component.

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of a CPU from a main housing portion to a lid housing portion with thermal conduction through a hinge assembly that rotationally couples the main and lid housing portions to each other. For example, thermal conduits insert into a hinge body and transfer thermal energy across the hinge body through a thermally conductive interface, such as the hinge body itself, thermal grease disposed in the hinge body, a liquid that fills a cavity of the hinge body shared by the thermal conduits, and a vapor chamber integrated in the hinge body.

A portable information handling system transfers thermal energy associated with operation of processing components in a main housing portion to a vapor chamber integrated in a lid housing portion that distributes the thermal energy across the lid housing portion. A hinge protrusion formed in the lid housing portion defines a cylindrical opening that accepts a hinge pin to rotationally couple the housing portions to each other. The cylindrical wall defines a barrier with the vapor chamber so that a thermal conduit passing from the main housing portion to the hinge pin transfers thermal energy from the hinge pin through the cylindrical wall to the vapor chamber.
