A pressure transducer is formed on an N-type wafer of silicon by depositing on the wafer a P+ layer. A thin N-type layer is then formed on the P+ layer. The N layer which is relatively thin, will form a diaphragm for piezoresistors which are deposited on the N layer. The P+ layer acts as a stop to enable a central aperture to be formed or etched into the N wafer; which aperture defines an active deflecting area for the thin N-type diaphragm. The various layers are crystallographically homogeneous to enable the piezoresistors to exhibit high coefficients and hence, provide a sensitive transducer assembly.
1. A transducer, comprising:
(a) an annular base member fabricated from a semiconductor material of a given conductivity, said annular member having a central aperture defining an active area; which aperture is characterized as being formed by a chemical capable of selectively etching said given conductivity semiconductor,
(b) a composite layer covering said aperture and comprising a first cover layer immediately above said aperture and fabricated from a highly doped conductivity layer, a second thicker layer located on said first layer and fabricated from a semiconductor material, and
(c) at least one piezoresistive sensor element deposited on said second layer and within the area overlying said aperture whereby upon deflection of said composite layer, said element exhibits a resistance according to the magnitude of said deflection.
2. The transducer according to claim 1 wherein said base member is fabricated from N-type silicon having a predetermined crystallographic orientation and capable of being etched by hydrazine.
3. The transducer according to claim 2 wherein said composite layer comprises a first thin semiconductor layer of a P+ conductivity and a second thicker semiconductor layer of an N-type conductivity.
4. The transducer according to claim 3 wherein said composite layer is between 0.1 and 0.5 mils thick.
5. The transducer according to claim 3 wherein said P+ layer and said N- layer are homogeneous with respect to said crystallographic orientation of said base member.
6. The transducer according to claim 5 wherein said piezoresistive element has a piezoresistive coefficient mainly dependent upon the crystallographic orientation of said N- layer.
This invention relates to transducers employed to transform mechanical forces into an electrical signal indicative of the magnitude of an applied mechanical force or stress. Particularly, this invention relates to a method and structure enabling the fabrication of a transducer employing small and thin diaphragms while maintaining large piezoresistive coefficients in regard to the sensors deposited or otherwise employed on such diaphragms.
The use of piezoresistive transducers in conjunction with semiconductor diaphragms of all types is quite well documented in the prior art. Essentially, the art has progressed to the point where the piezoresistive transducer is a relatively reliable and economical component and is widely used to measure stress and motion in a plurality of different applications.
In any event, a major desire in the fabrication and formulation of such transducers is to achieve further economical advantages while maintaining sensitivity and reliability which are associated with such units. Essentially, an object of the prior art and of the transducer technology is to provide an economical transducer assembly which possesses good electrical characteristics and sensitivity while maintaining relatively small diaphragm size and which assembly is capable of being produced in large quantities employing conventional mass production integrated circuit techniques. Hence, there exists a number of patents in the prior art which attempt to provide a transducer structure according to the above considerations.
If reference is made to U.S. Pat. No. 3,800,264 entitled HIGH TEMPERATURE TRANSDUCERS AND HOUSINGS INCLUDING FABRICATION METHODS which issued on Mar. 26, 1974 to the Assignee herein, there is shown a dielectrically isolated transducer which employs a silicon diaphragm. The diaphragm has a piezoresistive sensor mounted on a dielectric insulator which in essence, provides isolation of the sensor from the diaphragm while further providing a high temperature bonding to a suitable housing. The structure depicted in that patent is further shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,930,823 regarding methods of fabricating such units. Essentially, the devices depicted in the above noted patents employ small diameter diaphragms which are useful for high temperature environments and are relatively economical and reliable.
Other techniques concerned with problems of mass production and reliability are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,858,150 entitled POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON PRESSURE SENSORS issued on Dec. 31, 1974. This patent describes a piezoresistive sensor which is formed in polycrystalline silicon layer. The silicon layer is deposited on an insulating etch stop layer of silicon nitride which in turn is deposited over a substrate of monocrystalline silicon. The substrate is configured to support the silicon nitride layer by etching away its inner section and leaving a peripheral section. The piezoresistive sensors are diffused into the polycrystalline layer and are located over an area that is ultimately flexible and generally designated as the active area of the diaphragm. While the technique lends itself to mass produced components, there are certain disadvantages regarding this technique. Essentially, the polycrystalline layer serves to reduce the piezoresistive coefficients of the diffused sensor elements and hence, the device employing a polycrystalline silicon layer is not as senstive as those devices which employ a homogeneous diaphragm. In polycrystalline silicon, the grains of the silicon are randomly oriented and hence the sensors which are deposited within such a layer exhibit a lower piezoresistive coefficient which is determined by the average value of the grain orientation in the crystallographic plane. It is, of course, understood and known that the gage factor of the sensor which is defined as the fractional change in resistance per unit strain, is also a function of the piezoresistive coefficient of the sensor. Hence, the higher the piezoresistive coefficient is, the more sensitive the final transducer. Furthermore, by employing a sensor with high piezoresistive coefficients, one can fabricate smaller diaphragms while maintaining reliability and optimum operating characteristics.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved transducer structure adapted to mass production techniques while providing reliable operating characteristics by employing piezoresistive sensors having relatively high piezoresistive coefficients.
A pressure transducer comprising an annular base member fabricated from a semiconductor material of a given conductivity, said annular member having a central aperture defining an active area; which aperture is characterized as being formed by a chemical capable of selectively etching said given conductivity semiconductor, a composite layer covering said aperture and comprising a first cover layer immediately above said aperture and fabricated from a highly doped opposite conductivity layer, a second thicker layer deposited on said first layer and fabricated from a semiconductor material of the same conductivity as said base member, and at least one piezoresistive sensor element deposited on said second layer and within the area overlying said aperture whereby upon deflection of said composite layer, said element exhibits a resistance according to the magnitude of said deflection.
FIGS. 1 to 5 are cross-sectional views depicting the various steps in the process of forming the transducer according to the invention.
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a transducer according to FIG. 5 and implemented according to the methods described.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a wafer of N-type silicon which is oriented along a preferable crystallographic plane such as the [110] plane. The wafer of N-type silicon may be between three to fifty mils thick and preferably may be polished on the top surface 11.
The wafer 10 then has grown, diffused, or implanted on the surface 11, a relatively thin layer of a P+ conductivity layer. P+ semiconductor layers which are diffused or otherwise deposited are well known in the art and the conductivity of the P+ layer depends upon the type of dopant material used. The P+ layer 12 which may be diffused or epitaxially grown on the N-type substrate is relatively thin and may be on the order of one or more microns.
In any event, the P+ layer when grown or diffused, is in crystallographic orientation with the N-type silicon wafer 10 and hence, is homogeneous in regard to crystalline structure of the N-type wafer 10. This step in the procedure is shown in FIG. 2 which specifies an N-type wafer 10 having deposited thereon a P+ layer 12.
Referring to FIG. 3, a thin layer of an N-type semiconductor is then deposited or grown on the P+ layer. In essence, the N- layer 14 is a low conductivity layer as compared to P+ layer 12. This N- layer may be grown to a depth on the order of a few tenths of a mil and in essence, comprises the diaphragm section of the transducer to be formed.
It is noted at this point that the N-type diaphragm layer 14 is extremely thin and its thickness can be accurately controlled which therefore results in higher transducer yields while requiring less testing and handling due to the fact that the deposition of the N-type layer which may be accommodated by an epitaxial technique, can be grown in a controlled environment at a relatively slow rate.
Referring to FIG. 3, an oxide layer 15 is then grown on the N-type layer 14. Growth of oxide layers are well known in the art and can be provided by heating the composite structure of FIG. 3 to a temperature between 1,000 to 1,300 degrees C. and passing oxygen over the surface.
Referring to FIG. 4, a bridge pattern 16 is then diffused into the N-type layer 14 via windows which are selectively formed in the oxide layer 15. Essentially, the formation of the sensor bridge assembly 16 is accommodated by the use of photomasks and photochemical procedures.
Briefly, the use of such techniques are well known in the semiconductor art and involve the formation of a photoresisting lacquer which is coated over the oxide layer. The thickness of the photoresist may be on the order of several thousand angstroms.
A photomask having a desired pattern impressed upon it is then exposed to ultraviolet light which causes the photoresist to harden according to the pattern on the mask. The areas of the mask which do not contain a pattern cause the photoresist to remain soft and the soft portions are removed by a chemical etchant. Hence, a pattern 16 is formed in the oxide without affecting the N- layer 14.
At this point, the piezoresistive elements are diffused into the N-type layer to thereby provide piezoresistive elements according to the bridge pattern and as shown in the top view of FIG. 6.
It is now noted that due to the above techniques, all the layers as the P+ layer 12 and the N- layer 15 are homogeneous with the N-type layer 10. Thus, these layers assume the same crystallographic orientation as that of the original N-type silicon and hence, the piezoresistors which are diffused into the N-type layer exhibit a piezoresistive coefficient which is extremely high as being determined by a homogeneous N-type layer.
Referring to FIG. 5, a central aperture 20 is then formed in the N-type wafer 10 and defines the active area of the diaphragm. The aperture 20 is formed by a photoresist technique and an etchant as hydrazine is employed to etch the aperture 20 as determined by the mask employed on the bottom surface of the wafer 10. The hydrazine will not affect the P+ layer and hence, the etching process stops at the P+ layer.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a top view of the completed transducer assembly in FIG. 5. Essentially, the transducer is shown as a circular configuration, but it is understood that any other configuration could be employed by the techniques described above.
Essentially, the transducer comprises an annular base member 10 which is fabricated from N-type silicon. The base member 10 has a central aperture shown in dashed line 20 formed by the etching process. Overlaying the aperture 20 is a thin N-type diaphragm 21 having deposited on the surface thereof, a piezoresistive bridge pattern 16 which may be a four-arm Wheatstone bridge. Shown directed from the bridge pattern 16 is a series of contact or terminal areas 21 which can be implemented during the above noted procedure by the use of an appropriate photoresist and deposition technique. It is seen that the leads are directed towards the periphery of the thin N-type diaphragm 14 and terminals as 22 are located on the inactive area of the diaphragm which underlies the annular housing or member 10.
It is, of course, understood from the above noted description that the conductivity of the various layers described can be varied and different etching materials employed to accommodate the structure shown. Thus, for example, N+ can be substituted for P+ and P materials substituted for N materials. The techniques employing complimentary semiconductor layers are known in the art.
In summation, there has been provided a transducer which can be accurately and reliably formed in great quantities; which transducer employs extremely thin diaphragms of a relatively homogeneous crystallographic orientation to enable the diffusion of piezoresistive sensing elements into the diaphragm; which elements exhibit high coefficient to therefore impart superior electrical characteristics and sensitivity to the resultant transducer.
The transducers described are integrally formed and hence possess relatively uniform characteristics as a plurality of such units can be implemented by a single process on a large wafer of N-type silicon 10 and each individual transducer unit as shown in FIG. 6 can then be scribed or otherwise removed from the large wafer. The technique avoids the use or the formation of a polycrystalline material; which material if employed, undesirably reduces the piezoresistive coefficients of the sensors deposited thereon. While a bridge arrangement has been shown in FIG. 6, it is understood that a single piezoresistive element could be deposited in lieu of a bridge by employing the above noted techniques.
It would thus be obvious to one skilled in the art that any number of piezoresistive sensors in any one of a plurality of different configurations could be employed with the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the same.

It seems like auto brightness does not work when screen gets on due to incoming call. If you turn your screen off/lock the phone in dark environment and then get a call in bright one, you wont see who's calling cause the screen will be still at low brightness until you will pick up/unlock the phone. Wasn't noticeable during winter times, but now as more sun comes it is noticeable.

Wood may reshape city panels
OCEANSIDE —— With 69 positions on 18 city panels scheduled to become vacant by the close of August, a handful of Oceansiders said last week that they expect Mayor Jim Wood to try to fill many of those slots with friends and allies.
It's up to Wood to nominate residents he'd like to assume those volunteer positions, though he'll need the support of a council majority to get his picks OK'd.
Some in this city of 175,000 have charged that Wood, with the backing of Councilwomen Shari Mackin and Esther Sanchez, plans to stack those panels with "his people." While the mayor said last week that he'll weigh a number of factors in making his appointments, he has strongly indicated recently that he wants to fill the openings with those who hold similar positions to him.
During the June 9 taping of "Voice of Oceanside," an interview program on nonprofit television station KOCT, Wood answered a question about the city panels by saying that many members had "been appointed by somebody else," and that he wants to "infuse some people from maybe my directions, my point of views."
"(In) a roundabout way, it's like when the president of the United States gets elected, and he moves into the White House and takes over," the mayor said. "The White House doesn't keep the old staff. They bring in their people."
Balanced approach
Some residents said last week that while it's natural for Wood to want his backers on those panels, they think the mayor will also offer positions to residents from all points on the political spectrum.
"The feeling that Jim's going to stack all of the committees, I think that's unwarranted," said George McNeil, a Wood supporter who's chairman of the city's Manufactured Home Fair Practices Commission. "That's not the way things work."
McNeil, a retired principal and council meeting regular, should know. He was appointed to the manufactured home commission and the El Corazon Planning Committee by former Mayor Terry Johnson —— even though McNeil has publicly supported Johnson's political foes, including Mackin, Sanchez and Wood.
"I was trying to build a cohesive team," Johnson said in a recent interview, "and when someone asked me to consider an appointment, I did so."
McNeil said he expects similar behavior from Wood.
"I'll be surprised, really shocked, if Jim selects nothing but friends," McNeil said.
Mayoral muscle
It looks as though Wood might not stop at trying to fill the 69 scheduled vacancies; he's talked recently with at least two commissioners about resigning before their terms expire.
"It's like he's got a meat cleaver and he's swinging to and fro," said C.C. Sanders, a former Oceanside police officer who chaired the Police and Fire Commission for two years. Sanders, who's a friend and ally of Johnson, resigned from the commission late last year, after Wood ousted Johnson in the mayor's race.
"I wasn't going to wait for him to throw me off," Sanders said.
Sanders wasn't mistaken in his prediction that Wood would try to remove some political opponents from city panels.

New Listing! This is your perfect family vacation destination to experience all that Hawaii has to offer. Enjoy this private two story oceanfront pool home on Alii Drive with its stunning views from living room, dining room and upstairs bedrooms. Swim or float in the large sparkling pool, work on your tan, read or just relax. Unwind in the jacuzzi after a fun day of island adventures. The Main living area of this 2400 square foot home opens up to a large lanai overlooking the pool, spa and of course, the ocean. Enjoy your meals outdoors, if you like, on the downstairs lanai where spinner dolphins congregate at the Ironman turn-around buoy straight out front. Sea turtles and several fish species reside in the area.Whale watching in the winter season is a sight to behold. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, including an ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom, with a large lanai to experience expansive ocean views and breathtaking Hawaiian sunsets. Honl's Beach is very nearby, where you can swim, boogie board, take surf lessons or just enjoy the day with a picnic lunch. Historic downtown Kailua-Kona is a 10 minute walk away for shopping, dinning and nightlife. Make your Hawaiian memories here.
We fell in love with Kona immediately. We found this home and knew it would be a wonderful place to share with friends and family.
Private swimming pool and spa and 180 degree views, spectacular sunsets, 2 minute walk to Honls Beach for surfing and snorkeling or a picnic lunch and a short walk to Historic downtown Kailua-Kona. This home is right in front of the Ironman turn-around buoy where spinner dolphins often congregate. You will see whales in season and many other ocean species. Comfortable Hawaiian living at it's best! All 3 upstairs bedrooms have a lanai with great views. The tradewinds flow through this house beautifully.
I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to rent a little slice of heaven. This was my second stay here, and it didn't disappoint. The only problem with the house it that staying there is so perfect with with the house, pool, jazuzzi, and ocean right at your doorstop that you might not want to leave it to sightsee. It's clean, well maintained, and huge. We had a family of 6 staying there, and you'd have to go out of your way to find the other people. The skin diving is unreal, and we swam right from the property. We saw whales and dolphin daily. It's a magical place. If you can tear yourself away from the property, you'll be able to walk to town in ten minutes. I can't wait to return for #3! Aloha to Chris and his wife, your local hosts, who are gracious, friendly, unobtrusive, and yet always available.
We spent a week at Marks place in February 2015. We had the family there (5 adults and 2 children). The house was great but the pool on the ocean takes the cake. Sitting in the hot tub the waves actually go past you to the south. The ocean was rough all but 2 days of our stay but with the pool it didn't matter. The kitchen was very well stocked, appliances, plates, utensils etc. The house is also well stocked with beach towels, Boogie boards, masks, snorkels etc. We did see whales and dolphins daily. Downtown Kona is close by with excellent restaurants and shops. The only drawback was leaving.
We loved your home! We try to always stay on the ocean but your house is ON the ocean! It is our favorite ever. We loved the waves hitting the rocks and often splashing in the pool It was incredible. The view and the sunsets are spectacular. We saw Whales and dolphins every day and truly hated to leave the property. (We did though. We did the shopping thing and went to a really fun luau and visited the Seahorse place as well as snorkeling and Dave even went snorkeling with the dolphins) You can tell you really care about the house and Chris was great when we called him. We will definitely try to stay here if it is available on our next Kona visit. Beautiful, beautiful property. Mahalo!
We had such an amazing time staying at Mark's lovely oceanfront house. We have rented many houses through VRBO in the past and this one was by far the best, with such a wide range of amenities there is truly nothing you can't do. The pool and hot tub were divine, especially late at night at the sun goes down. You have a postcard perfect sunset each and every night. If activities are your thing, they supply boards, flippers, snorkels, towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, sunscreen - anything and everything you could ask for. The location was fabulous, exactly a 10 minute walk for us to downtown Kona, home of innumerable bars and restaurants. Thank you Mark for such a fantastic stay and we will definitely stay again next time when are on the Big Island! Mahalo!
Such precious memories my family made while staying in this most comfortable home with its perfect setting. We had a wonderful oceanfront view of dolphins, whales, gorgeous sunsets and spectacular waves. The sound of the surf was always present and lulled us to sleep in our comfortable beds. We appreciated that the house was within walking distance to Kailua with its many dining and shopping choices. We ate in often and found the kitchen had all we needed for meal preparation plus the gas grill was handy. Eating at the table on the lower lanai was a favorite, but the dining room was also welcoming. WIFI was a plus. When entering the house from the driveway a beautiful courtyard with tropical plants and flowers greets you. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by all. It was very comfortable in the house with the tropical breezes blowing and fans in every room. Chris, the property manager, quickly responded to a text or phone message if we had a question or needed something. We would all love to go back! Thank you Mark for sharing your home.
Everything is awesome from the owners to the views and the pool and spa . The best and most comfortable house . I loved my stay so much I went 3 times last year . Thanks Mark for the awesome memories for me and my kids .
This a photographers paradise! Access to several activities, including paddleboarding and outrigger rentals, surf lessons and snorkeling are nearby.

Of course, DungeonQuest is already in 8-bit funding, trying to find some contributions so I can hire a great artist which makes the game look really epic.
Now, let's see which are the game goals, where's the game development right now, and what's my next step:

text: Umstance of their being subjects of our sovereign in his other character of Elector of Hanover, clearly distinguished it from the hiring of the Hessian and Brunswick mercenaries, which has been deservedly condemned. And, as the entire number fell short of two thousand,[55] Lord Shelburne's expression of fear for the liberties and religion of Englishmen was an absurd exaggeration. Moreover, the warm approval which, less than twenty years before, Parliament had given to the introduction of a far larger body of the same troops into England itself, justified the anticipation that a similar sanction would now be cheerfully given. That sanction--which, indeed, might have been thought to be invited by the announcement of the measure in the King's speech--was undoubtedly requisite. And, if it was, a Bill of Indemnity for having acted without it was equally necessary. But, as has been seen in the last chapter, for an administration, on urgent occasions, to take action on its own responsibility, and then to apply for indemnity, is a course in strict harmony with the practice of the constitution; and if in this instance the ministers are in any respect blamable, their error would seem to have been limited to their abstaining from instantly calling Parliament together to sanction their act, and being contented to wait for the ordinary time of the Houses meeting. The war, therefore, went on. The assertion of their independence by the Colonies divided, and, so far, weakened, the advocates of their cause in Parliament, one section of whom, led by Lord Chatham, regarded any diminution of our dominion as not only treasonable, but ruinous; on the other hand, it procured them the alliance of France and Spain. But it cannot be said that either of these incidents produced any practical effect on the result of the war. Lord Chatham's refusal to contemplate their independence could not retard its establishment; and the alliance of France and Spain, which brought nothing but disaster t

"With 2 Afghans, is the potential for 3 factions"
It explained with great clarity the complexities of, not only our relations with Afghanistan but also with Pakistan. The only common element seems to be widespread misunderstanding and mistrust.
I also learned that we had clearly identified the threat from Osama Bin Laden back during the mid 1990s but permission to neutralize him was denied by then President Clinton due to his personal political difficulties at that particular time.
The research for this book was extensive and I was astonished that so much of the material is now declassified.
No single character because so many of the characters are facinating.
His tone , his delivery and the facility to smoothly move through so many difficult names and accents added an additional flavor of authenticity to the story
No foreign power has succeeded in this region since Alexander the Great. Even the people in charge today in Pakistan and Afghanistan, are not really in charge. So,...... we must ask ourselves why are we Americans wasting lives and treasury in this ungovernable wasteland?
"It didn't have to happen"
This is clear understandable description of the events that led to the rise of Hitler and eventually WW2. It is gripping.
If the allies had some courage they could have stopped Hitler's forward march when he invaded Czechoslovakia and left his western front virtually unprotected. If his generals had any courage they could have overthrown him in 1937/38 when there was strong opposition among many of them to the ambitions of Hitler involving Germany in another war. They were just as "gutless" as the English and French leadership. They allowed evil to not only exist but to grow in strength. Only the Russians seem have had a true fix on Hitler's ambitions and negotiated not only some time for themselves to build up their strength, but also to have Germany supply them with critical arms, technology and materials that they later used in defeating Germany.
In retrospect, the most lasting impression with which I was left, was that Hitler used the tactics of a schoolyard bully to intimidate just about every possible opponent............and it worked!
It is Unique
The ease in which he switched accents and made it all so understandable
Would I have like to ........YES. However, 53 hours would be stretching it.
I have wanted to read this book for 40 years but always put it on the long finger because of the time commitment. Having it on my ipod allowed me to listen to it in my car, on the beach, working in the yard, at the gym etc.

After playing Halo in a friends house, I really wanted a shooter of my own... Some months later, dad found C2 and called me asking if I´d heard about the game and if I wanted it... I hadn´t, so I went, saw a few trailers in YT and decided it looked pretty cool, so yeah... That´s how I got it =)

Is it safe to put gel on a natural nail that is cracked down to the nail bed? What's the best way to go about fixing the nail for my client?
Nail technicians are licensed to work on healthy, intact nails and skin. If the nail plate is cracked through to the nail bed, the nail technician should not service this nail if the nail bed is exposed. Such work is outside the scope of her practice since this is a medical condition. If a nail becomes seriously injured, it is the nail technician's professional duty to refer the client to a qualified medical professional for diagnosis and treatment, if required.

Jane Magnolia in a Container
I have a Jane Magnolia in a 3 gallon pot (just purchased) and it is about 3 feet high. I want to keep it in a container and have been reading up on the gritty mix and Al's mix, but I am not sure which one would be best for this tree. I have searched around for the ingredients for both mixes figuring I would go with the one I can locate all ingredients for. No such luck. I either can't locate all the items locally or they are too expensive considering they will be for just one (maybe two) container plants. The shipping alone on some items is just not worth it, in my opinion. I think I can try to gather up the ingredients for Al's mix if I use fir bark nuggets or Orchard Bark, which I can find locally.
I would appreciate any input regarding which of these two mixes would be the better choice and some tips on how to get started. I'm a bit of a newbie at planting and potting. Please no suggestions to plant the tree in ground, as I am determined to keep it in a pot for at least a couple of years as I work on my landscape. Thank you for any tips you can provide!

Philips Projection TV keeps shutting off
My Philips Projection Tv keeps cutting off its Model #60p8341 chasis #ptv915 please someone help!! it will stay on for a little while then go off somtimes when I unplug and plug it back it will stay on for a few hours but then cut off again.
I have the same issue as do many others, with all different models and types. It is inherit with Phillips and they just keep selling them. If you are within time to return it, that is what I should have done. There are a number of posts here on Phillips, try a search on this forum.
my 50" magnavox/phillips hdtv did the same thing for several months. now it won't come on and the LED light blinks when tv is powered on. tv repair shop says its the "main power regulator" and will cost me $1700 to repair. The tv didn't cost $1700 to begin with.
And I have the same problem as well. Started out only a few hours at a time, but now it shuts off every couple of minutes. A friend of mine had a similar issue with his TV (not Philips) and he was told to open it up and adjust the screws that control the coloring. There were three sets of three screws (each set a different color). Aparently, in his case, the "blue" was sending too much power into the TV and it was shutting it off. He adjusted the "blue" screw just a hair and said he hasn't had a problem since. Again, it wasn't Philips, but maybe we all have a similar issue. I just opened up the back of my TV (with a torque screwdriver) and I haven't been able to locate any screws yet. But I'll post any updates as I see them.
I think I've figured out the problem ! I hope this reaches you all.
I noticed that when I got the TV (in the winter season), I never had this problem. The TV was working great. But as the temperature got warmer and warmer and the humidity got higher and higher, that's when the problems began. When I put the "temperature theory" to the test, although I thought it was a long shot at the time, I had great success. I thought, "what if I just tried to keep the TV temperature down ?" So I put a small desk fan up against the left side of the TV, aimed it toward the inside (through the vent) and put it on full blast. After about five minutes or so, I turned the TV on and it STAYED ON ! (The left side of the TV is where the over-heating power regulator is located).
As I did this on a regular basis, I had nothing but success. Few things:
#1 - Turning the fan on five minutes ahead of time turned out to be irelevant. Nowadays, I just turn the fan on 'high' just before I turn the TV on.
#2 - I have no air condintioning in my living room, so even though I have this fan, the TV will still shut off occasionally on really really hot days. I did, however, purchase one of those window fans and installed it in the closest window to the TV. This helps. Less light is getting in, and it's a bit cooler by the TV.
#3 - The desk fan that I have is very small, but quite powerful for it's size. It's white and made out of tough plastic. It's about 8 1/2 inches across and 10 1/2 inches high. It's made by a company called HOLMES.
I hope this reaches you all, and I hope you have the same luck that I did. We all probably spent a lot of money on this TV, and because Philips is being a douche-bag about it, we have to make due with what we have. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck.

How to write a Rational Synergy Plugin
[What's your take?] What are you passionate about?
AcdntlPoet 2700019V2G Visits (2641)
Passion.... Joe Robinson recently wrote an interesting article on the topic over at the Huffington Post. In that article he posits that "Stocking up on positive events is important because we're usually in a losing battle against the negative avalanche barreling down on us from all sides." In the support world, we often see this exemplified, as we only get calls when there's an issue; no one calls us to tell us when products are working perfectly. I think Joe is on to something with his article, so rather than dwell on the problems sitting in our queues, let's talk a bit about our passions and what really gets us excited.
What ARE our passions in RCS? I'm glad you asked...
For Conny Postma, one of our Accelerated Value Specialists, passion is about her family: "I'm the proud mother of a teenage boy. My husband has been a stay-at-home father for most of the time." But that's not the whole of Conny's passion either as she goes on to note: "That gave me the opportunity my to pursue my other passion: working in Support! I really like to dive into technical issues, while at the same time talking and dealing with real human beings, also called clients and colleagues. But, also I'm very passionate about Astronomy: If time and weather allows I'm staring into the night sky and admiring the wonders of the stars and planets that surround us. That is such a peaceful and relaxing experience... "
Taking a different approach to the question, Kelly Smith, whom you all know as co-author of NFRS and overall knowledge activist, tells us her passions revolve around effective and open knowledge-sharing! She notes: "Email is where knowledge goes to die, says Bill French, and this blog post explains it much better than I ever could. In short, if you are providing an answer, that answer is best captured someplace it can easily be found and reused by others... and usually, that's not in your head or in your inbox. Worse, if it's in MY head, chances are that *I* won't even be able to find it when I need it again. Working smarter means not answering the same question over and over again... but providing the answer once where others can find it."
For myself, I find my passion in various places depending on what my life needs at any given moment. Sometimes I like to dive into a project that involves building or modifying something with my hands, like my latest kick to modify a vintage 1930's phone to a digital system functional for my day to day work. Other times, I have a driving need to create in a more artistic manner, which is where my love for photography comes into play. Even other times, I simply find passion and enjoyment from helping other people solve issues plaguing them; no surprise why I work in support on that one... but more than all, I find passion in writing; communicating thoughts and ideas to the world, be it in blog form, technical documentation, or just day to day correspondences. Of course if I just have to get away and clear my head, I hop on my motorcycle and ride off into the sunset... wheels on the ground, of course.
You've heard a few of ours, now we'd love to hear what -your- passions are. What drives your life beyond work? What passion keeps you coming back to work?
