The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and system for defect localization includes: (i) receiving a test structure that includes at least one conductor that is at least partially covered by an electro-optically active material; (ii) providing an electrical signal to the conductor, such as charge at least a portion of the conductor; and (iii) imaging the test structure to locate a defect." The patent application was filed on Oct. 3, 2003 (10/530,157). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7,969,564.PN.&OS=PN/7,969,564&RS=PN/7,969,564 Written by Anjali Jha; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Motorola Mobility Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 1 -- Motorola Mobility, Libertyville, Ill., has been assigned a patent (79,69,356) developed by four co-inventors for a "satellite positioning system receivers and methods." The co-inventors are Thomas M. King, Tempe, Ariz., George J. Geier, Scottsdale, Ariz., Mark Heng, Scottsdale, Ariz., and Robert Harbour, Gilbert, Ariz. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A satellite positioning system receiver programmed to determine information for a satellite using ephemeris data (710), determine information for the same satellite using almanac data (722), which may have been previously stored on the receiver, to determine an error between the satellite information determined from the ephemeris data and the satellite information determined from the stored almanac data (730), and to update the stored almanac data based upon the error (734)." The patent application was filed on Sept. 13, 2005 (11/225,601). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=79,69,356.PN.&OS=PN/79,69,356&RS=PN/79,69,356 Written by Ruby Maibam; edited by Jaya Anand. *** LSI Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 1 -- LSI, Milpitas, Calif., has been assigned a patent (7,969,337) developed by Nayak Ratnakar Aravind, Lancaster, Pa., James A. Bailey, Snowflake, Ariz., and Robert H. Leonowich, Fleetwood, Pa., for a "systems and methods for two tier sampling correction in a data processing circuit." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for data processing. For example, a data processing circuit is disclosed that includes an analog to digital converter, a digital interpolation circuit, a phase error circuit, and a phase adjustment control circuit. The analog to digital converter samples an analog data input at a sampling phase governed at least in part by a coarse control, and provides a series of digital samples. The digital interpolation circuit interpolates between a subset of the series of digital samples based at least in part on a fine control. The phase error circuit calculates a phase error value. The phase adjustment control circuit is operable to determine the coarse control and the fine control based at least in part on the phase error value." The patent application was filed on July 27, 2009 (12/510,222). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=79,69,337.PN.&OS=PN/79,69,337&RS=PN/79,69,337 Written by Ruby Maibam; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Arizona Inventors Develop Patent for Child Leg Monitoring System and Method ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 1 -- John Stumpf, Phoenix, and Laurie Stumpf, Phoenix, have developed a patent (7,969,316) for "child leg monitoring system and method." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A monitoring system for use with a leg hole device includes a sensor for monitoring a state of at least one leg of a child engaged with the leg hole device, a control system, and a user interface. A state of presence or absence of at least one leg may be monitored." The patent application was filed on Sept. 24, 2008 (12/284,687). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=79,69,316.PN.&OS=PN/79,69,316&RS=PN/79,69,316 Written by Ruby Maibam; edited by Jaya Anand. *** Freescale Semiconductor Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 1 -- Freescale Semiconductor, Austin, Texas, has been assigned a patent (7,970,087) developed by Steven D. Millman, Gilbert, Ariz., for an "eye center determination system and method." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A system and method for bit eye center determination is provided. In general, the system samples an incoming data stream to determine where transitions in the data stream occur, selectively offsets the selected samples based on state criteria and the number of transitions in each set of samples, accumulates the offset samples and averages the result to determine the center of the bit eye. The system and method also provides the ability to locate the eye center even in the case of noise in the system, whether the noise is random or deterministic, including odd/even noise." The patent application was filed on April 6, 2005 (11/100,887). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=7,970,087&OS=7,970,087&RS=7,970,087 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi.
