A system and method of winding a length of tubing into a coil. The system uses a mandrel to wind a length of tubing into the form of a coil. The length of tubing is both internally pressurized and placed under tension prior to being wound around the mandrel. The tension experienced by the length of tubing causes the tubing to conform to the shape of the mandrel as the mandrel rotates. The internal pressurization of the tubing keeps the diameter of the tubing round as it is deformed around the mandrel. As such, the tubing is prevented from crushing or buckling as it winds around the mandrel.

Apparatuses and methods for forming displays are claimed. One embodiment of the invention relates to dispensing display drivers over a substrate. The display drivers, for example, may be a plurality of emitters and gates in order to form a display such as a field emission display (FED). Alternatively, the display drivers may be rods for a plasma display. Another embodiment of the invention relates to forming an electronic device along a length of substrate using template transfer or FSA to deposit display drivers into recessed regions or holes of a substrate. Another embodiment of the invention relates to using FSA and a deterministic method such as “pick and place” to place display drivers onto a substrate. Another embodiment of the invention relates to using donor transfer of display drivers to a substrate.

Methods and apparatuses for selecting a subset of RFID tags are provided in some embodiments. These methods and apparatuses utilize the susceptibility to light by persistent nodes found in passive tags. Light can be used to intentionally reduce persistence times in a particular subset tags or even an individual tag. Then, persistent nodes can be used as a selection criterion to distinguish previously illuminated tags from non-illuminated tags. In other embodiments, a power circuit receives a RF input source and generates a direct current (DC) output voltage. The circuit includes a bias circuit to supply a gate to source bias, which is independent of the DC output voltage. The circuit further includes a voltage multiplier circuit that is coupled to the bias circuit. The voltage multiplier circuit has MOS transistors with one transistor to receive the gate to source bias.

An improved floating gate photosensor is operable in either an enhanced voltage sensitivity mode or an enhanced transit speed mode. This photosensor has a floating gate assembly that includes two overlapping, independent and complementary-shaped gate electrodes connected to separate circuits as a means of controlling the depth of the channel in which the signal charge flows. As a result, the two key operating parameters of responsivity and signal transit time are variable. Structurally, each gate includes a plurality of prongs that overlap the recesses defined by the prongs of the other electrode. The photosensor may be operated in the WC (side channel) mode where the two gate electrodes are both used as floating gate sensors. In this instance the photosensor operates like that of a conventional floating gate sensor, with the width of the channel equal to that of the entire floating gate assembly and the depth of the channel being about 4 microns below the surface of the device. The photosensor can also be operated in the NC (narrow channel) mode where only one of the gate electrodes is in the floating gate sensing mode while the other is biased so that the channels beneath its prongs act as barriers to signal charge flow, thereby restricting charge flow to a plurality of narrow channels under the fingers of the first gate which are only about one micron below the surface of the device.
