A correlated double sampling circuit and method for providing the same are disclosed. The circuit may include an amplifier, a plurality of capacitors, and a switch matrix. The amplifier provides a reset voltage replica and a signal voltage replica. The switch matrix controls a plurality of switches to perform correlated double sampling over at least three phases. The first phase for sampling the reset voltage replica on a first and second capacitors. The second phase for sampling the reset voltage replica and the kTC noise on a third capacitor. The first phase producing a thermal kTC noise from the first and second capacitors. The third phase for subtracting a charge representing the signal voltage replica, the kTC noise and the reset voltage replica, combined, from the charge sampled in the second phase to provide an output voltage. The method for providing low noise correlated double sampling includes controlling the plurality of switches to provide the at least three phases.

A control system for an outdoor faucet includes a control unit encased in a waterproof housing. Inside the waterproof housing can be found an omni-directional antenna; a transceiver operatively coupled with the antenna and operating at a low radio frequency below 300 kHz; an onboard memory for storing data; a motor valve for controlling liquid flow; a micro controller unit operatively coupled with the onboard memory and configured for controlling operation of the control unit and for actuating the motor valve; and a connector for coupling with an energy source for powering the control unit.

The disclosure describes new forms of chip-type and other fried or baked snack-type and/or convenience food items, including sweet goods such as cookies, doughnuts, etc., which are externally coated with or which directly incorporate into their dough matrix certain starch-based compositions. Methods of using the compositions to make the food products, and the finished food products themselves are described. As external coatings, the compositions significantly increase the crispness and tensile strength of the food item after it is cooked with the coating in place, and so change the organoleptic qualities as to provide a new form of the underlying food product. On sweet goods, the coating also provides a surface barrier that stabilizes sugar icing on the outside of the product, preventing it from becoming tacky, moist, or wet, while simultaneously reducing moisture loss from the dough, adding crispness at the surface and greatly retarding staling.

A method of treatment of congestive heart failure comprises the steps of introducing an aortic occlusion catheter through a patient's peripheral artery, the aortic occlusion catheter having an occluding member movable from a collapsed position to an expanded position; positioning the occluding member in the patient's ascending aorta; moving the occluding member from the collapsed shape to the expanded shape after the positioning step; introducing cardioplegic fluid into the patient's coronary blood vessels to arrest the patient's heart; maintaining circulation of oxygenated blood through the patient's arterial system; and reshaping an outer wall of the patient's heart while the heart is arrested so as to reduce the transverse dimension of the left ventricle. The ascending aorta may be occluded and cardioplegic fluid delivered by means of an occlusion balloon attached to the distal end of an elongated catheter positioned transluminally in the aorta from a femoral, subclavian, or other appropriate peripheral artery.
摘要:
A three-dimensional camouflage fabric is produced in a multi-head quilting machine by providing a relatively wide web of a substrate sheet material to the machine along with an outer material comprising a plurality of transversely spaced, elongated strips of relatively narrower fabric having a camouflage pattern thereon. The side edges of the strips are formed in an irregular foliage pattern, with edge patterns of adjacent strips being different. The overlying strips are attached to the substrate along laterally spaced lines of attachment positioned between the side edges of the strips. The strips are attached to the substrate in a longitudinal wrinkled condition, giving the strips a three-dimensional contour. The edges of the strips desirably overlap so as to enhance the three-dimensional appearance. The strips can be wrinkled by feeding the strips at a faster rate than the substrate. This can be achieved by a spring feeding mechanism or by sewing the strips at an inclined angle to the substrate.

An RFID tag in a receptacle is active and includes a microprocessor, a data storage device operable to store a selected code (e.g. an ID code to identify said object or said product), the object including a display for displaying the aforesaid selected code upon a signal from the microprocessor and an energy storage device (e.g. a lithium ion battery), operable to energize the microprocessor, the display, and the transmitter. The tag has an antenna having a dimension thereof that is substantially as large as to a maximum dimension of receptacle.

The invention provides an insert assembly to convert an existing fireplace hearth into a gas burning fireplace and a method for installing the insert assembly while conveying the appearance of a wood burning fireplace. The insert assembly comprises legs removably attachable to the base of the firebox for allowing the insert to be installed higher into the hearth. The inner walls of the firebox are coloured so as to camouflage the structure of the assembly in the hearth and a decorative fender mimics a wood burning grill. Where the insert includes a heat exchanger, a guide plate is provided at the top of the insert to ensure that air exiting the heat exchange outlet at the top of the insert is directed into the room.
