Title: Isolation coupler for a structural assembly and method for attenuating a load

Abstract

An isolation coupler for coupling a functional element to a support structure includes a first bracket. The first bracket includes a number of first-bracket sides. The number of first-bracket sides forms a closed polygonal shape, in plan view. The isolation coupler further includes a number of isolators coupled to each one of the first-bracket sides. The isolation coupler also includes a second bracket. The second bracket includes a number of second-bracket sides. The second bracket sides are coupled to the isolators. The number of second-bracket sides is equal to the number of first-bracket sides and forms the closed polygonal shape, in plan view. The isolators separate each one of the first-bracket sides from a corresponding one of the second-bracket sides to attenuate a load transferred from the first bracket to the second bracket.

Optically isolated signal coupler with linear response

Patent Kronberg, James W [Aiken, SC]

An optocoupler for isolating electrical signals that translates an electrical input signal linearly to an electrical output signal. The optocoupler comprises a light emitter, a light receiver, and a light transmitting medium. The light emitter, preferably a blue, silicon carbide LED, is of the type that provides linear, electro-optical conversion of electrical signals within a narrow wavelength range. Correspondingly, the light receiver, which converts light signals to electrical signals and is preferably a cadmium sulfide photoconductor, is linearly responsive to light signals within substantially the same wavelength range as the blue LED.

Simplified flangeless unisex waveguide coupler assembly

Patent Michelangelo, Dimartino [La Mesa, CA]; Moeller, Charles P [Del Mar, CA]

A unisex coupler assembly is disclosed capable of providing a leak tight coupling for waveguides with axial alignment of the waveguides and rotational capability. The sealing means of the coupler assembly are not exposed to RF energy, and the coupler assembly does not require the provision of external flanges on the waveguides. In a preferred embodiment, O ring seals are not used and the coupler assembly is, therefore, bakeable at a temperature up to about 150.degree. C. The coupler assembly comprises a split collar which clamps around the waveguides and a second collar which fastens to the split collar. Themore » « less

Bipolar transistor structure with collector on polycrystalline isolation layer and methods to form same

Patent Holt, Judson R.; Jain, Vibhor; Johnson, Jeffrey B.; ...

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a bipolar transistor structure with a collector on a polycrystalline isolation layer. A polycrystalline isolation layer may be on a substrate, and a collector layer may be on the polycrystalline isolation layer. The collector layer has a first doping type and includes a polycrystalline semiconductor. A base layer is on the collector layer and has a second doping type opposite the first doping type. An emitter layer is on the base layer and has the first doping type. A material composition of the doped collector region is different from a material composition of the basemore » layer. « less
