Abstract:
In a hybrid spherical bearing, a ceramic ball is provided and has a bore extending at least part way there through. A metallic outer race is also provided and has an inner engagement surface contoured to a shape complementary to a shape defined by an outer diameter of the ceramic ball. The ceramic ball is positioned within the outer race and slidably and rotatably engages the inner engagement surface.
Abstract:
A programmable logic device (PLD) includes first and second circuits. The first and second circuits are part of a user's design to be implemented using the PLD's resources. The first circuit is powered by a first supply voltage. The second circuit is powered by a second supply voltage. At least one of the first and second supply voltages is determined by a PLD computer-aided design (CAD) flow used to implement the user's design in the PLD.
Abstract:
Circuitry for providing an input data signal to other circuitry on an integrated circuit includes a course delay chain and a fine delay chain. These two delay chains are cascadable, if desired, to provide a very wide range of possible amounts of delay which can be finely graded by use of the fine delay chain.
Abstract:
At least some of the interconnection signaling on a programmable logic device (“PLD”) is by differential signaling using differential driver circuitry to apply differential signals to a pair of conductors that extend to differential receiver circuitry. Such differential interconnection signaling helps the PLD operate satisfactorily with lower power supply voltages. The conductors in each differential signaling pair may cross over one another at various intervals in order to help reduce the adverse effects of capacitive coupling between adjacent and parallel signaling paths.
Abstract:
An external discharging/charging apparatus is disclosed. Users can select the operation for directly charging the battery set, or first discharging and then charging the battery set via the external discharging/charging device. Users can directly carry out power discharging/charging to the battery set, thereby improving the accuracy of the detecting device disposed in the battery set and extending the life of the battery set.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit can be a programmable logic device that incorporates a multi-function block having a plurality of integrally connected function units where at least one of the function units within the multi-function block is a tristate logic unit. The programmable logic device also includes a tristate bus operatively connected to the tristate logic unit that can supply tristate logic signals to the tristate bus as well as receive tristate logic signals from the tristate bus. The tristate bus carries tristate data signals and address select signals that operate to select a desired one of the tristate logic units within the programmable logic device.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a receiver to receive a plurality of wireless television signals each representing a television channel, and a measurement circuit to identify the television channels based on the wireless television signals. One or more of a plurality of possible locations of the apparatus are selected based on identities of the television channels identified by the measurement circuit and a plurality of associations each associating one of the possible locations with identities of the television channels expected at one of the possible locations.
Abstract:
Apparatus having corresponding computer programs comprise: a code generator adapted to generate a transmitter identification block, wherein the transmitter identification block comprises 32 rows and 82 columns, wherein the first 66 symbols in each of the rows comprises a cyclically-extended 63-chip pseudonoise code that is selectively polarity-inverted according to a respective phase of a 32-chip Walsh code, and wherein each of the last 16 columns comprises a parity-extended 31-chip Gold code that is selectively polarity-inverted according to a respective phase of a 16-chip Walsh code; and a code inserter adapted to insert each of the rows into the reserved block of a respective one of 32 consecutive field synchronization segments in an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) television signal prior to transmission of the ATSC television signal.
