摘要:
A pin driver circuit for driving a digital integrated circuit is capable of producing symmetrical rise and fall characteristics, yet is suitable for implementation in monolithic bipolar integrated circuits. This circuit includes a pair of matched transconductance amplifiers, one at each end of an output resistor, connected between a voltage source and a return voltage. Each amplifier has one of a pair of equal resistors between its input terminal and high output terminal to develop an equal swing voltage on alternate ends of the output resistor when a swing voltage current source is switched between the two input resistors by a control signal. The output is taken from the junction between the output resistor and the low output terminal of the amplifier at the high end of the output resistor. An additional current source is connected to the input resistor of the amplifier at the low end of the divider to provide a current which may be adjusted to allow the standing current in the output resistor to be reduced to a satisfactory minimum. Additional circuitry can be added to allow the output to be put in a high impedance condition. In a preferred embodiment, the high level of the output, the swing voltage, and the standing current may all be controlled.

A measurement test instrument voltage management system for an accessory device has a accessory device interface that provides a voltage to a memory device in the accessory device. A sensing circuit receives a sensing signal from the accessory device when it is connected to the interface. The sensing circuit generates an interrupt signal that is coupled to a controller. The controller initiates the generation of a clock signal that is coupled to the accessory device through the interface to retrieve accessory device data stored in the device memory. The controller determines if the connected accessory device is a valid device capable of being supported by the measurement test instrument. The controller generates an enable signal for a valid and supported device that is coupled to a voltage switching circuit. The voltage switching circuit generates at least a first output voltage that is coupled to the accessory device via the interface to provide power to the accessory device.

A differential signal input is applied through two resistors to the two sides of a dual clamping circuit and the two current outputs of a current mirror. The dual clamping circuit prevents the voltage on either output of the current mirror from going above some reference value in response to the imbalance created by the differential input signal. With one side, the high side, of the differential signal output held to this reference value by the operation of the clamping transistor on that side, the whole voltage imbalance on the input appears on the other output as a result of the operation of the current mirror. Thus, the reference level of the differential signal is shifted at the output, while the amplitude of the signal is preserved. Alternative embodiments substitute a dual clamping circuit with an opposite polarity or an averaging circuit for the dual clamping circuit described, thereby referencing the output signal to the low side or an average instead of the high side as in the preferred embodiment.

A flexible wall and end structure assembly includes a flexible wall and an end structure. The flexible wall is formed from an elastomeric material and a filament structure. A bead wire is formed into an open end of the flexible wall. The end structure is received along the open end of the flexible wall and forms a substantially fluid-tight seal therewith. A portion of the filament structure is compressed between the bead wire and the end structure and extends therefrom in radially-outwardly spaced relation to said end structure. A gas spring assembly including such a flexible wall and end structure assembly is included. A method of manufacture is also included.

Exercise devices, components for exercise devices and related methods are provided. In one embodiment, an exercise device is provided in the form of a treadmill including a frame, a platform or deck, a continuous or circuitous belt surrounding the platform, and at least one columnar member coupled with e frame and extending generally upwards from the frame when the exercise device is in an intended operating orientation. A cushioning device is directly coupled to the columnar member and in contact with an underlying support surface. In one embodiment, the cushioning device may include a first end member coupled with the columnar member, a second end member in contact with the supporting surface, and one or more compression members disposed between the first end member and the second end member.

Rolled articles such as hot rolled or cold rolled and annealed sheet and/or strip include effective amounts of vanadium in low carbon steels to produce an improved bake hardenable product especially adapted for automotive use. The use of vanadium in the alloy steel chemistry controls bake hardenability, permits solution annealing at lower temperatures in its manufacturing sequence and specifies a composition range which is more easily cast within desired limits and causes less variation in final mechanical properties.

A glitch detector for use in a sampled data acquisition system is disclosed. Glitch detection is provided by a flip-flop which is set on a first signal transition, conditioning a logic gate, the output of which changes logic states on a second signal transition. Two such glitch detectors operatively associated with complementary data signals permits detection of either positive-going or negative-going glitches within a sample clock period. A glitch indication flip-flop is reset by a glitch detection signal, providing a glitch indication signal to an output terminal via a latch. Control and reset circuits are provided to facilitate glitch detection on every cycle of the sample clock, and at any point within a sample clock period.

Method and means, including a trim saw structure, for assembling finger jointing lumber by an impression finger joining process wherein the ends of two pieces of lumber are placed in spaced apart position and held securely by clamps. A movable section of the machine trims and shapes the ends of the lumber into fingers which are then engaged by a hot die for further impression forming and heating of the fingers. The die moves out of position and a movable applicator applies glue to the outer half of the matching ends of the lumber. The ends are then pressed together and the joined pieces of lumber are advanced away from the work station. The process is a continuous such that incoming random lengths of lumber are joined to form a continuous outgoing length of lumber for cutting into desired lengths. One or more lines of lumber may be advanced through the finger jointing work station during a machine cycle.

Rolled articles such as hot rolled or cold rolled and annealed sheet and/or strip include effective amounts of vanadium in low carbon steels to produce an improved bake hardenable product especially adapted for automotive use. The use of vanadium in the alloy steel chemistry controls bake hardenability, permits solution annealing at lower temperatures in its manufacturing sequence and specifies a composition range which is more easily cast within desired limits and causes less variation in final mechanical properties. Controlling the vanadium to carbon ratio to maintain a value of about 10 or greater also improves aging resistance.
