The co-inventors are Huiqing Pang, Newtown, Pa., Peter Levermore, Lambertville, N.J., Kamala Rajan, Newtown, Pa., Emory Krall, Philadelphia, Ruiqing (Ray) Ma, Morristown, N.J., and Paul E. Burrows, Kennewick, Wash. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Systems and methods for the design and fabrication of OLEDs, including high-performance large-area OLEDs, are provided. Variously described fabrication processes may be used to deposit and pattern bus lines with a smooth profile and a gradual sidewall transition. Such smooth profiles may, for example, reduce the probability of electrical shorting at the bus lines. Accordingly, in certain circumstances, an insulating layer may no longer be considered essential, and may be optionally avoided altogether. In cases where an insulating layer is not used, further enhancements in the emissive area and shelf life of the device may be achieved as well. According to aspects of the invention, bus lines such as those described herein may be deposited, and patterned, using vapor deposition such as vacuum thermal evaporation (VTE) through a shadow mask, and may avoid multiple photolithography steps. Other vapor deposition systems and methods may include, among others, sputter deposition, e-beam evaporation and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A final profile of the bus line may substantially correspond to the profile as deposited." The patent application was filed on May 11, 2011 (13/105,770).

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A power control circuit for regulating an output voltage applied to a radio frequency power amplifier. The power control circuit includes an amplifier, a pass transistor and one or more saturation detectors. An input ramp voltage having a magnitude equal to a first voltage level is applied to a negative terminal of the amplifier. The pass transistor provides an output voltage at a drain terminal of the pass transistor. The saturation detector detects a magnitude of a voltage at a gate terminal of the pass transistor and generates a control current based on the magnitude of the voltage at the gate terminal of the pass transistor. The voltage regulating circuit reduces the magnitude of the input ramp voltage from the first voltage level to a third voltage level based on the control current." The patent application was filed on July 14, 2011 (13/182,693). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=8,432,228.PN.&OS=PN/8,432,228&RS=PN/8,432,228 Written by Kusum Sangma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Celgene Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3 -- Celgene, Summit, N.J., has been assigned a patent (8,431,598) developed by Markian S.

They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a virtualization system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources." The patent application was filed on Aug. 12, 2009 (12/540,298). 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=8,433,801&OS=8,433,801&RS=8,433,801 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar. *** Massachusetts Institute of Technology Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3 -- Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., has been assigned a patent (8,432,553) developed by Laura A. Waller, Hopewell, N.J., and George Barbastathis, Boston, for "phase from defocused color images." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "Phase differences associated with a defocused wavefront can be determined from a single color image. The color image, which is a measurement of intensity as a function of wavelength, is used to calculate the change in intensity with respect to wavelength over the image plane. The change in intensity can then be used to estimate a phase difference associated with the defocused wavefront using two-dimensional fast Fourier transform solvers. The phase difference can be used to infer information about objects in the path of the defocused wavefront. For example, it can be used to determine an object's shape, surface profile, or refractive index profile. It can also be used to calculate path length differences for actuating adaptive optical systems. Compared to other techniques, deriving phase from defocused color images is faster, simpler, and can be implemented using standard color filters." The patent application was filed on Oct. 6, 2010 (12/898,830). 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=8,432,553&OS=8,432,553&RS=8,432,553 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** B&G International Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3 -- B&G International, Newark, N.J., has been assigned a patent (8,432,286) developed by Chester Kolton, Westfield, N.J., Michael Norman, East Brunswick, N.J., and Alex Tetiyevsky, Springfield, N.J., for an "electronic tag holder for capped bottle neck." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A housing assembly supports an electronic tag to the extending neck of a bottle. The housing assembly includes a housing for accommodating the electronic tag. The housing has a bearing surface for engagement with the extending neck of the bottle. A strap is coupled to the housing about the bottle neck. The strap has a bearing surface for engagement with the extending neck. The bearing surface of at least one of the strap and the housing is tapered to match the taper of the extending neck of the bottle." The patent application was filed on May 26, 2010 (12/787,925). 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=8,432,286&OS=8,432,286&RS=8,432,286 Written by Satyaban Rath; edited by Hemanta Panigrahi. *** U.S. Navy Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3 -- The U.S. Navy has been assigned a patent (8,430,938) developed by Steven P. Miller, Gibbstown, N.J., for a "control algorithm for autothermal reformer." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "According to typical inventive practice, an algorithm controls a reformer in order to produce a pure hydrogen stream for a hydrogen-using device. The inventive algorithmic feedback control maintains the permeate hydrogen stream at a permeate pressure setpoint. Pressure measurements are performed of the permeate hydrogen stream. Control data (e.g., including a "lookup" table) establishes at least three output levels (scaled from zero output to maximum output) of the permeate hydrogen stream and, for each output level, five variable setpoints (air flow rate, hydrocarbon flow rate, and steam flow rate preceding the reformer reaction; steam flow rate preceding the water-gas shift reaction; shaft rotational speed in the energy recovery device). The pressure signals and the control data are processed to determine the optimal output level and the associated variable setpoints. Control signals are sent to adjust the variables to the determined variable setpoints." The patent application was filed on July 13, 2007 (11/894,637). 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=8,430,938&OS=8,430,938&RS=8,430,938 Written by Arpi Sharma; edited by Anand Kumar.
