Data serializers, output buffers, memory devices and methods for serializing are provided, including a data serializer that may convert digits of parallel data to a stream of corresponding digits of serial data digits. One such data serializer may include a logic system receiving the parallel data digits and clock signals having phases that are equally phased apart from each other. Such a data serializer may use the clock signals to generate data sample signals having a value corresponding to the value of a respective one of the parallel data digits and a timing corresponding to a respective one of the clock signals. The data sample signals may be applied to a switching circuit that includes a plurality of switches, such as respective transistors, coupled to each other in parallel between an output node and a first voltage.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fastener and a disassembling apparatus for the same. The fastener (10) of the present invention has a cylindrical hollow body (12) which configures a framework. A through hole (14) is penetrated through an inside of the hollow body (12) in a longitudinal direction thereof. A plurality of coupling legs (16) are formed by deformation slits (18) to extend toward one end portion of the hollow body (12). A coupling protrusion (20) is formed at an outer surface of the front end of the coupling leg (16), while a releasing portion (24) is formed at an inner side of the hollow body (12) which is opposite to the outer surface. A placing step (22) is formed in a stepwise manner at a location adjacent to the other end portion of the hollow body (12) which corresponds to an opposite side of the coupling protrusion (20). A separating protrusion (28) is formed at an end of the other end portion of the hollow body (12). A disassembling apparatus (30) has a release pin (34) protruding on one side of a frame (32), and a release coupling hole (36) is formed in the release pin (34) so that the releasing portion (24) may be inserted and guided in the release coupling hole (36). The release lever (38) is provided to extend to be spaced apart from the frame (32) at a predetermined interval, and a catching protrusion (40) caught by the separating protrusion (28) is formed at the front end of the release lever (38). According to the present invention, since the fastener (10) for coupling objects (50 and 50′) is configured as a single unit, the number of parts and the number of assembling processes may be reduced, and the fastener (10) may be handled more simply using the disassembling apparatus 30.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed, such as those involving a digital phase detector that includes a phase detection circuit configured to detect which one of two clock signals leads the other. One such phase detector includes a balancer configured to prepare the phase detection circuit for a phase detection. The phase detection circuit of one or more embodiments includes a cross-coupled latch configured to receive the two clock signals and generate a first latch output and a second latch output in response to the two clock signals. The aforementioned balancer is configured to substantially equalize the voltage levels of the first and second latch outputs before the phase detection circuit detects a phase difference between the two clock signals. For example, the balancer might pre-charge the outputs of the phase detection circuit to substantially the same voltage level before phase detection.
Abstract:
A fighter robot system that supplies power to two fighter robots, which have a match against each other, through respective power lines and prevents the power lines from becoming entangled even when the robots are moving. The fighter robot system includes two fighter robots, a power supply providing power to the fighter robots, and a rotary member located above or below the fighter robots, the rotary member having a predetermined length and rotatable around a central axis formed at a predetermined portion. The power supply provides the power to the fighter robots through power lines. Each power line starts from the power supply, extends from the central axis to either end of the rotary member in the lengthwise direction, and is connected at that end to each fighter robot. The rotary member rotates around the central axis following the movement of the fighter robots.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein are improved, simplified designs for a hierarchical delay line (HDL). The HDL is useful in providing precise phase control between an input clock signal and an output clock signal, and has particular utility as the variable delay in a delay-locked loop (DLL). In one embodiment, a coarse unit delay provides a delayed representation of an input clock. The original and delayed versions of the input clock are presented to a phase mixer block, which is controllable to weight its output to a phase between one of the two input clock signals. The output of the phase mixer block is then provided to a controllable variable delay line capable of adding further coarse delay into the processed signal. To assist in boundary switching, multiplexers are provided in the path between the original and delayed versions of the input clock and the phase mixer block, which provides the ability to boundary shift without having to reset the phase mixer.
