20100327842 | REFERENCE VOLTAGE GENERATOR HAVING A TWO TRANSISTOR DESIGN - An improved voltage reference generator is provided. The voltage reference generator comprises: a first transistor having a gate electrode biased to place the first transistor in a weak inversion mode; and a second transistor connected in series with said first transistor and having a gate electrode biased to place the second transistor in a weak inversion mode, where the threshold voltage of the first transistor is smaller than the threshold voltage of the second transistor and the gate electrode of the second transistor is electrically coupled to a drain electrode of the second transistor and the source electrode of the first transistor to form an output for a reference voltage. | 12-30-2010 |
20120293212 | LOW POWER REFERENCE CURRENT GENERATOR WITH TUNABLE TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY - An improved reference current generator is provided. A voltage difference generator generates two voltages that are separated by a relatively small electrical potential. The two closely separated voltages are applied across a resistive element with relatively large impedance value resulting in a small and stable reference current. The result is a power efficient, temperature compensated reference current generator. | 11-22-2012 |
20150085406 | Electrostatic Discharge Clamp Circuit For Ultra-Low Power Applications - An electrostatic discharge clamp circuit is provided for low power applications. The clamp circuit includes: a detection circuit, a bias circuit and a shunting circuit having at least one shunt transistor. The detection circuit is configured to detect an occurrence of an electrostatic charge on a power supply node and trigger discharge of the electrostatic charge through the shunting circuit. The bias circuit is coupled between the detection circuit and the shunting circuit and applies a bias voltage to the gate terminal of the shunt transistor. During an electrostatic discharge event, the bias circuit is configured to generate a bias voltage that is substantially equal to the supply voltage; whereas, during the absence of an electrostatic discharge event, the bias circuit is configured to generate a bias voltage that is substantially half of the supply voltage. | 03-26-2015 |

20090213673 | Data processor memory circuit - A memory circuit for use in a data processing circuit is described, in which memory cells have at least two states, each state being determined by both a first voltage level corresponding to a first supply line and a second voltage level corresponding to a second supply line. The memory circuit comprises a readable state in which information stored in a memory cell is readable and an unreadable state in which information stored in said memory cell is reliably retained but unreadable. Changing the first voltage level but keeping the second voltage level substantially constant effects a transition between the readable state and the unreadable state. In use, the static power consumption of the memory cell in the unreadable state is less than static power consumption of the memory cell in the readable state. | 08-27-2009 |
20120030268 | Randomized value generation - A data processing apparatus is provided for producing a randomized value. A cell in the data processing apparatus comprises a dielectric oxide layer and stress voltage circuitry is configured to apply a stress voltage across the dielectric oxide layer of the cell to cause an oxide breakdown process to occur. Oxide breakdown detection circuitry is configured to determine a current extent of the oxide breakdown process by measuring a response of the dielectric oxide layer to the stress voltage and randomized value determination circuitry is configured to determine a randomized value in dependence on the current extent of the oxide breakdown process. | 02-02-2012 |

20110277280 | Clamping Device - A clamping device has a clamping head piece with a linearly movable actuator in the clamping head piece. Two positional transducers are coupled with the actuating element. The two position transducers are adjustable with respect to one another. Two sensors cooperate with the two positional transducers. The two sensors are arranged at a fixed distance from one another. The two transducers are immovable with respect to the clamping head piece. A separate external access insertion opening is provided in the clamping head piece for each sensor. | 11-17-2011 |

20090218011 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A STAINLESS STEEL PRODUCT - The invention relates to a method for making a thin finished product to be formed by deformation that combines strength with resistance to a highly corrosive environment. The method comprises forming a sheet of stainless steel with a microstructure consisting predominantly of ferrite, austenite, martensite or a mixture thereof, with a thickness of less than 3 mm, to a three dimensional semi finished product, treating said semi finished product with a nitrogen-containing atmosphere at a temperature of between 1000° C. and 1200° C. during a time and under a nitrogen pressure, sufficient to saturate the product through the thickness with a nitrogen content between a lower limit of 0.3 wt % and an upper limit that is provided by the beginning of nitride separation, cooling down said product at such a rate and nitrogen pressure that nitride separation is avoided, and subsequently machining the nitrogen saturated semi- finished product to the finished product. The invention further relates to a rotary shaving assembly prepared by the method of the invention. | 09-03-2009 |

20120310650 | VOICE SYNTHESIS APPARATUS - In a voice synthesis apparatus, a phoneme piece interpolator acquires first phoneme piece data corresponding to a first value of sound characteristic, and second phoneme piece data corresponding to a second value of the sound characteristic. The first and second phoneme piece data indicate a spectrum of each frame of a phoneme piece. The phoneme piece interpolator interpolates between each frame of the first phoneme piece data and each frame of the second phoneme piece data so as to create phoneme piece data of the phoneme piece corresponding to a target value of the sound characteristic which is different from either of the first and second values of the sound characteristic. A voice synthesizer generates a voice signal having the target value of the sound characteristic based on the created phoneme piece data. | 12-06-2012 |

20130337480 | CHEMILUMINESCENCE-BASED HAEMOSTASIS ASSAY - The present invention relates to a method for in vitro determining generation of a haemostatis factor such as thrombin and/or plasmin in a test sample using a chemiluminescent substrate specific for said blood clotting factor. Upon cleavage of the substrate, a luminescent signal is generated via aminoluceferin with the aid of a luciferase. The invention also relates to a kit for in vitro determining generation of a haemostasis factor in a test sample, and to novel chemiluminescent substrates for the determination of thrombin and plasmin. | 12-19-2013 |
