摘要:
A comparator (12) and method compare first and second signals (V.sub.IN+, V.sub.IN-) to provide an output signal (V.sub.O, V.sub.OB). A transistor (43) couples a supply terminal (64, 66) of the comparator to a power supply (V.sub.DD) to enable the comparator for comparing the first and second signals. When the output signal is valid, it turns off the transistor to isolates the supply terminal from the power supply. As a result, power is reduced and a change in the first and second signals is prevented from changing the output signal. When the transistor turns off, a charge is trapped on the supply terminal that unbalances the comparator and causes a comparison error. A balanced condition is restored with a discharge circuit (31-33) coupled to the supply terminal to alter the charge when a control signal (RESET) is applied.

A power-assist hydraulic system for use in connection with a linkage extending through a housing and mechanically coupled to an actuated member. The power-assisted hydraulic system includes a double-acting hydraulic cylinder having a rod configured for interconnection to the actuated member, an accumulator for storing pressurized hydraulic fluid and a rotary valve. The rotary valve has a valve interface for selectively connecting the hydraulic cylinder to the accumulator. The rotary valve has at least one valve piston for receiving pressurized hydraulic fluid to maintain a hydraulic balance at the valve interface. A sleeve having a bore through which the linkage can extend is mechanically coupled and movably mounted with respect to the rotary valve for moving the rotary valve between a neutral position and first and second rotated positions in response to forces between the linkage and housing. The sleeve and rotary valve cooperate to drive the hydraulic cylinder in a first or a second direction in response to the rotary valve being in the first or the second rotated position, respectively.

A variable conducting element (10) and method for programming a constant current or constant resistance provided at output terminals (24 and 26) of a ferroelectric transistor (12). The ferroelectric transistor (12) has portions of a ferroelectric material (32A) programmed having up-polarization states separated by domain walls (34) from portions of a ferroelectric material (32B) programmed having down-polarization states. The portion of the ferroelectric material (32A) programmed in the up-polarization state forms current conduction channels between a source region (23) and a drain region (25) of the ferroelectric transistor (12). The ferroelectric transistor (12) is programmed through a capacitor (14) to adjust the charge supplied to a control terminal (22) of the ferroelectric transistor (12).
摘要:
A ferroelectric transistor (72) is programmed with a gate voltage that shifts a threshold voltage of the ferroelectric transistor (72). The shifted threshold voltage generates a correction current (.DELTA.I.sub.(N-1)) in a combination circuit (52) that trims an output voltage of a DAC trim circuit (50). A ferroelectric material (32) of the ferroelectric transistor (72) stores a charge in accordance with a programming voltage and allows a dynamic adjustment of the correction current (.DELTA.I.sub.(N-1)) that is used to modify the output voltage of the DAC trim circuit (50).
摘要:
The present invention provides certain novel substituted benzothiazoles, benzimidazoles and benzoxazoles which are useful as inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis and/or as inhibitors of the action of lipoxygenase and/or as inhibitors of mucus secretion in mammalian metabolism. They are thus employed wherever it is medically necessary or desirable to inhibit these systems.
摘要:
A fiber optic adapter assembly is provided that sealingly mounts to a telecommunications enclosure. The adapter assembly mounts to a communications enclosure such that one of two fiber optic connectors is received into the adapter assembly outside of the enclosure and the other fiber optic connector is engaged into the adapter assembly inside of the enclosure. The enclosure is pressurized at a predetermined level, and the adapter assembly is configured to maintain the pressure within the enclosure when the adapter assembly mounts to the enclosure.

摘要:
Disclosed are various embodiments for replicating service requests. A service request is obtained from a client. A primary service and a secondary service are determined based at least in part on the service request and a routing configuration. The secondary service corresponds to another version of the primary service. The service request is routed to the primary service and potentially replicated to the secondary service. A service response to the service request is obtained from the primary service and then sent to the client.
摘要:
A method and system for searching an information retrieval system for items of interest that are in proximity to geographical locations provided by the user. The information retrieval system can perform a search for specified types of businesses or items of interest that surround or are in close proximity to the user's present geographical location, or a geographical location that the user has pre-configured in a database. The system receives geographical location information concerning the user's position from the wireless network carrier, which tracks the location of the user's mobile communications device. When the user desires to store a geographical location and geographical name for a future search, the information is entered into the pre-configured database. When conducting an information search at a later time, the user can narrow a search request to a geographical area in the vicinity of the stored geographical location.
