Abstract:
A microwave oven may include a housing defining an oven cavity therein configured to receive material to be heated, and a plurality of solid state microwave generating cells carried by the housing. At least one feedback circuit may be carried by the housing and configured to detect EM radiation within the oven cavity not absorbed by the material to be heated. A processor may be carried by the housing and coupled to the plurality of microwave beamforming cells and to the at least one feedback circuit. The processor may be configured to receive feedback from the at least one feedback circuit based upon the EM radiation not absorbed by the material to be heated, and control phase shifters of the beamforming cells to change the patterns of EM energy transmitted by antennas of the beamforming cells based upon the feedback received from the at least one feedback circuit.

The architecture includes a first multiplexer, a plurality of delay cells, a plurality of sign blocks, a switch block, a second multiplexer, and a plurality of drivers.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un procédé de réalisation d'un miroir enterré dans un composant semiconducteur comprenant les étapes suivantes : former une structure comprenant une couche semiconductrice posée sur une couche isolante recouvrant un substrat ; former une ou plusieurs ouvertures dans la couche semiconductrice débouchant en surface de la couche isolante ; éliminer une portion de la couche isolante, d'où il résulte qu'un évidement est formé ; former une seconde couche isolante mince contre la paroi de l'évidement ; et former une couche métallique dans l'évidement contre la seconde couche isolante.
Abstract:
A system for performing depth-based scaling of 3D content. The system comprises: 1) a content source configured to provide an input image comprising a plurality of input image objects; and 2) a processor configured to receive the input image and to receive a depth map comprising depth data associated with each of the plurality of input image objects. The processor generates an output image comprising a plurality of output image objects, wherein each of the plurality of output image objects corresponding to one of the plurality of input image objects. The processor scales a size of a first output image object relative to the size of a second output image object based on depth data associated with the first output image object and the second output image object.
