Abstract:
A pliers includes a first body with an engaging groove and a second body with an elongated slot pivotally connected with each other. The elongated slot includes a left and right positioning grooves and a protruding portion disposed therebetween. A tap button is pivotally connected to the second body. A supporting member is disposed between the second body and the tap button. When the first body comes close to the second body, the tap button can be tapped to a first position and engaged in the engaging groove. Thus, the first body is blocked and cannot pivot relative to the second body. The tap button can be tapped to a second position and detached from the engaging groove. Thus, the first body is pivotable relative to the second body. A positioning block is extending from the tap button and can be engaged in any of the positioning grooves for positioning the tap button.
Abstract:
Snap ring pliers include two levers, two posts, and two protruding blocks. The two levers are pivotally connected to each other and relatively pivotable. The two levers each have a control end at a distal end thereof. The two posts are fixed to the control ends of the two levers, respectively. The posts each have a complete surface without a notch. The posts each have a non-circular cross-section and at least one an arris for leaning against a perforation of a snap ring. The two protruding blocks are respectively fixed to distal ends of the two posts for restraining the snap ring from being separated from the posts, thereby controlling the snap ring stably.

It also has multiple pressure zone water distribution capability. In addition, the water pressure of system can be adjusted to the different setpoints by changing VFD pump output pressure. The electrical power of the water station has both regular power supply from the utility line and backup power from a diesel engine generator. All control instrument devices should be connected to an All in One PC terminal and Human Machine Interface (HMI). All water qualities should be frequently monitored and tested to meet the local water code requirements.

A WLAN P2P connection can be set up between the first and second wireless devices using the WLAN P2P configuration. The first and the second wireless devices can communicate using the WLAN P2P connection.
Abstract:
A method for operating a SAR assisted pipelined ADC includes enabling a SAR ADC in a current stage circuit for converting an input analog voltage into a digital code during a first time interval, resetting an operational amplifier of an MDAC in the current stage circuit during the first time interval, maintaining the SAR ADC of the current stage circuit in an enabled state for outputting during a second time interval, and enabling the MDAC in the current stage circuit during the second time interval. The method also includes enabling the SAR ADC in the current stage circuit for sampling during a third time interval and connecting the output terminal of the MDAC in the current stage circuit to the input terminal of the next stage circuit during the third time interval. The first, second, and third time intervals are continuous and do not overlap each other.

Abstract:
A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. A first and second capacitor DACs receive a first and second input signals respectively. A first coarse comparator compares an output of the first capacitor DAC with a window reference voltage, a second coarse comparator compares an output of the second capacitor DAC with the window reference voltage, and a fine comparator compares the output of the first capacitor DAC with the output of the second capacitor DAC. A SAR controller receives outputs of the first and second coarse comparators to determine whether the outputs of the first and second capacitor DACs are within a predictive window determined by the window reference voltage. The SAR controller bypasses at least one phase of analog-to-digital conversion of the SAR ADC when the outputs of the first capacitor DAC and the second capacitor DAC are determined to be within the predictive window. The SAR controller decodes the outputs of the first and second coarse comparators and the fine comparator to obtain a converted output of the SAR ADC.

A switched-capacitor circuit which comprises a first sampling capacitor, a second sampling capacitor, an op-amp, a third capacitor, and a fourth capacitor is provided. The first sampling capacitor is disposed to sample an input signal in a sampling phase. The second sampling capacitor is disposed to sample the input signal in the sampling phase. Wherein, in a first amplify phase, the third capacitor stores an offset voltage of the op-amp, the fourth capacitor stores the electric charges which are flowed from the first sampling capacitor and the second sampling capacitor, and in a second amplify phase, the fourth capacitor gives the stored electric charges back to the first sampling capacitor and the second sampling capacitor.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) and its method. First ends of capacitors are electrically coupled to an inverting input node of an amplifier, wherein two of the capacitors are alternatively configured as a feedback capacitor. Each capacitor is composed of at least two sub-capacitors. Second ends of capacitors are electrically coupled to an input signal via a number of sampling switches, and the second ends of the capacitors are electrically coupled to DAC voltages respectively via a number of amplifying switches. A sorting circuit is configured to sort the sub-capacitors, wherein the sorted sub-capacitors are then paired in a manner such that variance of mismatch among the sub-capacitors is thus averaged.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a pathloss gap between a downlink pathloss from a base station to a mobile station and an uplink pathloss from the mobile station to the base station is estimated. An initial offset value for uplink power control of the estimated pathloss gap is calculated based at least in part on said estimating. An offset value for an uplink data channel or an uplink control channel, or combinations thereof, is set based at least in part on the initial offset value. The pathloss gap for uplink power control is compensated using the set offset value.
