A preferred embodiment ankle brace includes a foot plate and opposing uprights extending upward from opposite sides of the foot plate. Cleats protrude downward from the bottom of the foot plate. The ends of the junctions between the uprights and the foot plate curve outside the planes defined by the respective uprights and the foot plate. The foot plate and uprights are symmetrical about a plane of symmetry which extends perpendicularly between the opposite sides of the foot plate. A lateral side panel is rotatably connected to one upright, and a medial side panel is rotatably connected to the other upright at a relatively greater distance away from the foot plate. Flat, oval-shaped bearing surfaces are disposed on abutting sides of respective uprights and side panels. Pads are secured within the side panels and ventilation channels and holes are formed in the pads.

A differential switched capcitor filter section which includes a differential amplifier (OTA), a first set of switched capacitors (C11, C12) coupled between a non-inverting output (+) and an inverting input (-) of the differential amplifier (OTA), and a second set of switched capacitors (C21, C22) coupled between an inverting output (-) and a non-inverting input (+) of the differential amplifier (OTA). In the sets of switched capacitors (C11, C12; C21, C22), first terminals of the capacitors are coupled to a corresponding one of the outputs (+; -) of the differential amplifier (OTA) thru first switches (S1.11, S1.12; S1.21, S1.22), and to one of the differential inputs (Vin+; Vin-) of the filter section thru second switches (S2.11, S2.12; S2.21, S2.22). Second terminals of the capacitors are coupled to a corresponding one of the inputs (-, +) of the differential amplifier (OTA) thru third switches (S3.11, S3.12; S3.21, S3.22), and to a reference terminal thru fourth switches (S4.11, S4.12; S4.21, S4.22). Within each set, corresponding switches operate at mutually differing switching phases (.PHI.1; .PHI.2).

An extractor-type surface cleaning machine includes a base or foot having a suction nozzle and a handle that is pivotally coupled to the foot and moveable between upright and inclined positions. The recovery tank is removably securable to the foot and fluidly communicates with the suction nozzle and the accessory. The recovery tank defines a collection chamber and a passage having an inlet in communication with the suction nozzle and an outlet. A valve member is moveable between a closed position substantially covering the outlet and an open position. Movement of the handle to the upright position moves the valve member to the closed position to block the passage during cleaning with the accessory hose. Movement of the handle to the inclined position allows movement of the valve member to the open position so that suction from the collection chamber is communicated to the suction nozzle for floor cleaning.

In accordance with some embodiments, a method for high frequency clock distribution in a VLSI system includes splitting an original master clock signal into one or more pairs of lower-frequency sub-clocks for a destination in the VLSI system, distributing each lower-frequency sub-clock of the one or more pairs of lower-frequency sub-clocks to a corresponding channel coupled to the destination, and reconstructing a reference master clock signal at the destination from the one or more pairs of lower-frequency sub-clocks, wherein the reconstructed reference master clock signal replicates the original master clock signal.

An offset cancellation circuit can include an amplifier having a negative input, a positive input, and a single-ended output, wherein the positive input is configured to receive a reference voltage. The circuit also can include a capacitor having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal can be coupled to the negative input of the amplifier. The capacitor can be configured to sample the offset voltage of the amplifier. The second terminal of the capacitor can be selectively coupled to the output of the amplifier.

An extractor cleaning machine includes a base having a distribution nozzle and a suction nozzle, a suction source in fluid communication with the suction nozzle, a recovery tank removably coupled to the base and having a recovery tank handle, an extractor handle pivotally coupled to the base, and a supply tank coupled to the extractor handle for pivotal movement with the extractor handle with respect to the base. At least a portion of the supply tank is positioned above and over the recovery tank in a direction normal to a surface to be cleaned when the extractor handle is in an upright storage position. The supply tank is in fluid communication with the distribution nozzle to supply cleaning fluid to the distribution nozzle. The extractor cleaning machine is liftable by the recovery tank handle when the extractor handle is in the upright storage position.
摘要:
A capacitor in an IC has a first layer of conductive strips extending along a first direction (Z-direction). A first plurality of conductive strips in the first layer forms a portion a first node of the capacitor and alternates with a second plurality of conductive strips forming a portion of a second node of the capacitor. A plate layer adjacent to the first layer has a third plurality of conductive strips forming a portion the first node. Each strip in the third plurality of conductive strips is adjacent to another strip forming a part of the first node. The strips in the plate layer extend along a second direction (X-direction) orthogonal to the first direction. A first via electrically connects a first conductive strip in the first plurality of conductive strips in the first layer to a second conductive strip in the plate layer.

A capacitor in an integrated circuit (“IC”) includes a core capacitor portion having first conductive elements electrically connected to and forming a part of a first node of the capacitor formed in a first layer and second conductive elements electrically connected to and forming a part of a second node of the capacitor formed in the first layer. The first and second conductive elements alternate in the first conductive layer. Third conductive elements electrically connected to and forming a part of the first node are formed in a second layer adjacent to the first layer. The capacitor also includes a shield capacitor portion having fourth conductive elements formed in at least first, second, third, and fourth layers. The shield capacitor portion is electrically connected to and forms a part of the second node of the capacitor and surrounds the first and third conductive elements.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for the calibration of current cells, whereby a current signal from each current cell may be generated by either a thermometer current cell, or a binary current cell. If generated by a binary current cell, then two or more replica binary current cells exist to form a group of binary current cells within two or more binary current cell sets. The current magnitude generated by each replica current cell of each binary current cell group is first calibrated to be substantially equal to each other. Next, the combined current generated by the replica current cell group is calibrated to be substantially equal to a magnitude of a temporary current signal, or a portion thereof. Subsequent less-significant binary current cell groups are similarly calibrated to the temporary current signal through the use of the previously calibrated, more-significant binary current cell groups.
