20130093463 | HIGH FREQUENCY CMOS PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER WITH LARGE DIVIDE RATIO - A dynamic latch has a pair of parallel pass gates (a first parallel pass gate that receives a seed signal, and a second parallel pass gate that receives a data signal). A first latch logic circuit performs logic operations using signals output by the parallel pass gates to produce an updated data signal. An additional pass gate is operatively connected to the first latch logic circuit. An additional pass gate controls passage of the updated data signal. An inverter receives the updated data signal from the pass gate, and inverts and outputs the updated data signal as an output data signal. Thus, the dynamic latch comprises two inputs into the pair of parallel pass gates and performs only one of four logical operations on a received data signal. The four logical operations are performed using the signals applied to the two inputs. | 04-18-2013 |
20130093481 | HIGH FREQUENCY CMOS PROGRAMMABLE DIVIDER WITH LARGE DIVIDE RATIO - A phase lock loop (PLL) includes a PLL feedback circuit having a feedback divider.

The second-to-last dynamic latch in the series outputs a fourth data signal to a last dynamic latch in the series. The last dynamic latch receives the fourth data signal and outputs a fifth data signal. A first feedback loop receives the fourth data signal from the second-to-last dynamic latch and the fifth data signal from the last dynamic latch. The first feedback loop comprises a NAND circuit that combines the fourth and fifth data signals and the first feedback loop outputs the first feedback signal. | 04-18-2013 |

20130234520 | MODULAR ENERGY PORTAL WITH AC ARCHITECTURE FOR HARVESTING ENERGY FROM ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES - A modular energy harvesting portal including a housing with a bay, a plurality of inverters, a controller, and an AC bus. A first inverter has a first DC input, a first AC output, and a first power rating. The first inverter converts DC power to AC power and outputs the AC power to an AC bus. A second inverter has a second DC input, a second AC output, and a second power rating. The second inverter converts DC power to AC power and outputs the AC power to the AC bus. The inverters are positioned in the bay. The controller selectively controls a switch to couple the AC bus to an AC grid. The modular energy harvesting portal system has a power rating dependent on the number of inverters and the power rating of each of the inverters. | 09-12-2013 |
