20080203164 | Photodiode with improved performance in ambient light - An arrangement for improving performance of a sensor operative for collecting light from a target to generate a data signal in a presence of ambient light, includes a sample and hold circuit for operating the sensor during a sampling time period in which the sensor only collects the ambient light to generate an ambient signal, and during a holding time period in which the sensor collects both the ambient light and the light from the target to generate a composite signal comprised of the ambient signal and the data signal; and a subtracting circuit operative for subtracting the ambient signal from the composite signal to produce the data signal as an output. | 08-28-2008 |
20100074286 | LASER POWER CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS IN ELECTRO-OPTICAL READERS - Laser power control arrangements interrupt power to a laser used in electro-optical readers upon detection of an over-power condition not conforming to preestablished regulatory standards. In one embodiment, during an operational mode, a difference between laser drive currents at two operating points is compared to a difference between laser drive currents at the same two operating points during a calibration mode. The over-power condition is recognized when the difference during the operational mode exceeds the difference during the calibration mode by a predetermined amount. In another embodiment, the laser is only energized to emit the beam at a reduced power level well below regulatory standards for staring at even if a motor drive failed. | 03-25-2010 |

20110006020 | RACK ASSEMBLY FOR SHIPPING GLASS PANELS - A rack assembly for shipping glass panels includes a base assembly, a deck assembly operatively carried by the base assembly, at least four end insert members operatively carried by the base assembly, at least four vertical assemblies operatively carried by the four end insert members, and at least two brace members. A first one of the brace members is operatively carried by a first pair of the vertically adjustable assemblies, and a second one of the brace members is operatively carried by a second pair of the vertically adjustable assemblies. The vertical assemblies are vertically adjustable relative to the end insert members so as to operatively adjust a height of the rack assembly to a preselected height. The deck assembly and the two brace members are selected from a group consisting of at least two different sizes of the deck assemblies and at least two different sizes of the brace members to be used so as to operatively adjust a width of the rack assembly to a preselected width. | 01-13-2011 |

20110160453 | Process for the preparation of sterically hindered nitroxyl ethers - The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of specific sterically hindered nitroxyl ethers from their corresponding sterically hindered nitroxyl radicals by reacting it with an aldehyde and a hydroperoxide. This nitroxyl ether formation may be carried out from different starting nitroxyl radicals, which are subsequently further reacted to the desired compounds. The compounds prepared by this process are effective as stabilizers for polymers against harmful effects of light, oxygen and/or heat and as flame-retardants for polymers. | 06-30-2011 |
