摘要： A gate valve includes a body which includes first and second valve seats. First and second gates are mounted for movement adjacent to the valve seats, and each of the gates has an outer face adapted to seal against the respective valve seat and an inner face which defines a thrust pad. A wedge is interposed between the first and second gates, and the wedge defines first and second converging wedge faces rigidly positioned with respect to one another to bear against the respective thrust pads. At least one of the thrust pads and the wedge faces defines a convex surface. A hand wheel axially moves the wedge with respect to the body and the wedge is coupled to the gates such that movement of the wedge away from the valve seats moves the gates away from the valve seats. The convex surface allows the respective gate to articulate with respect to the wedge as necessary to align with the valve seat. The wedge is coupled to an actuating member shaped to abut the gates, and springs are placed between the wedge and the gates to bias the gates into contact with the actuating member.

摘要： A noise discriminator circuit and a noise discrimination method in a burst mode receiver is configured to determine the validity of an incoming burst signal by analyzing the timing of the signal edges of incoming signal to look for a time duration conforming to the preamble data bits of a valid burst signal. In one embodiment, the noise discriminator circuit and method analyze the time duration between signal edges of the same pulse of an incoming signal. In another embodiment, the noise discriminator circuit and method analyze the time duration between a first set of pulses of an incoming signal and the time duration between signal edges of a second set of pulses of the incoming signal. When the time durations are within a given time range relating to a predetermined timing separation of a valid burst signal, the incoming signal is validated as a valid burst signal.

摘要： A system for selectively disabling use of at least selected features of a stand-alone electronic device under a predetermined set of conditions. The system establishes a state of the set of conditions as being satisfied or unsatisfied, communicates the state to the electronic device, and disables the selected features if the state is satisfied. In one embodiment, the system may be advantageously be used to prevent vehicular accidents by at least partially disabling non-emergency use of a wireless telephone in a moving vehicle. In another embodiment, the system may be used to disable features of an electronic device within a predetermined area having a boundary that is independent of a communications network cell.

摘要： A redundant memory circuit having a memory for storing information in a matrix of interconnected rows and columns, and a row and a column address decoder to access the rows and columns. The memory has a redundant row or rows to replace a defective row or rows in the matrix and a programmable decoder which is programmed with the row address of the defective row to access the redundant row. The row and column address decoders are used to access the defective row and to sequentially access the columns so as to entirely disconnect the defective row from the columns. The programmable decoder is then programmed with the defective row address, bit by bit, in response to the column addresses, to access the redundant row. After this procedure, a verification circuit can be used to verify that the redundant row can be accessed and that the programmable decoder is properly programmed to decode only one address to one row.

摘要： A sense amplifier and sensing scheme for sensing the normal or blown condition of fuses in a programmable read only memory (PROM) or similar device. A sensing circuit is provided with a threshold level separating high and low input levels indicative of the fuse condition. The sensing circuit has one circuit branch with a first current mirror with a temperature characteristic which provides a threshold level which is slightly divergent with reference to a low level input. Another circuit branch clamps the high input level to the slightly divergent threshold level and uses a second current mirror with a temperature characteristic which provides a high level slightly more divergent than the threshold level. By selecting mirror currents proportionally, high level and threshold level temperature characteristic divergence can be proportionally controlled in selected amounts with respect to the low level. Current sources for the sense amplifier are made to offset voltage fluctuations, making the sense amplifier highly insensitive to voltage fluctuations in addition to temperature variations.

摘要： A circuit and method for providing a desired resistor ratio whereby an output voltage may be derived across one of the members of the ratio pair. A voltage regulator is connected between first and second resistors of the ratio pair to provide voltage compensation partially dependent on third and fourth resistors within the regulator such that the error in each of the resistances of the desired ratio pair is cancelled by matching errors in the third and fourth resistances of the voltage regulator.
