Hybrid halide perovskite field-effect transistors

Invention SummaryThis technology focuses on the development of the first halide organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite field-effect transistor (FET). These transistors are often employed to amplify the strength of a relatively weak signal. The current runs along a semiconductor channel and the electrical diameter of the channel is altered based on the...

Statistical Methods for Soft Detection in Multiuser and Multiple Antenna Communication Systems

Invention SummaryA key benefit of MIMO systems is the ability to simultaneously transmit multiple quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) symbols through a multitude of antennas. The multiple symbols constitute multidimensional symbols that each carry a large number of information bits, typically 10 to 50. Detection of these symbols involves a decision-making...

Rotationally Diverse Antennas

Invention SummaryState-of-the-art wireless communication antenna systems lose significant signal strength when users move their device through a wide range of typical orientations. Rotationally diverse antennas solve this problem by improving signal strengths by 8 dB on average or 30 dB at a 90% reliability level. These benefits lead to savings in transmission...

Stereo Acoustic Echo Cancellation

Invention SummaryStereophonic acoustic echo cancellers often suffer from slow convergence and large deviation of echo canceller tap weights from their true values (misalignment). Both of these happen because of significant correlations among signals in the acoustic paths. Non-linearity effects are usually introduced to reduce such correlations and thereby...

Optical Pyrometer Pressure Testing Station

Invention Summary: Currently optical/laser profilometers do not have the ability to apply pressure or vacuum to individual devices or wafers. While laser interferometers are used to measure the overall deflection of diaphragms in pressure sensors, they only provide point measurements on the diaphragm and are susceptible to large error. This technology...
