| 20080302444 | MULTI-APPLICATION WOOD WORKING KNIFE AND CLAMPING ASSEMBLY - A wood working knife for use in a wood working machine, comprising a knife body having a first cutting edge and an opposed second cutting edge, the knife body having a first clamping surface and a second clamping surface. The first clamping surface has opposed clamping features separated by a middle section, the opposed clamping features and the middle section being sized and shaped such that, upon the knife body being inserted into a clamping assembly, the clamping forces are localized towards the opposed cutting edges and away from the middle section. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090129875 | Clamping Assembly for Woodworking Knife - A clamping assembly to hold a woodworking knife in place in a woodworking machine. The clamping assembly comprises a clamping component comprising a body and an actuator. The body has three discrete contact positions distributed thereon: 1) a fulcrum located generally at one end, 2) a knife abutting portion located generally at the other end, and 3) a bearing surface located elsewhere. The actuator is for applying a clamping force to the body along a clamping axis located intermediate of the knife abutting portion and the fulcrum. The fulcrum is a surface having a normal that is at an angle to the clamping axis. The bearing surface is a surface wherein a line normal to the bearing surface intersects the line normal to the fulcrum at a position outside of the clamping component at a location farther askew of the clamping axis than the fulcrum. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20090046532 | Supply Voltage for Memory Device - A device is provided including a memory cell, a first supply voltage generator, passively coupled to the memory cell, to provide the memory cell with a first supply voltage, and a second supply voltage generator, coupled to the memory cell, to provide the memory cell with a second supply voltage. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090086554 | System and Method for Operating a Semiconductor Memory - A method for operating a semiconductor memory cell is disclosed. A first voltage is applied to the memory cell. The first voltage is dependent on temperature and semiconductor process variation in a manner that keeps the memory cell in a stable region of operation. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090189684 | Apparatus and Method for Waking up a Circuit - A method for waking up a circuit, comprising charging a voltage line of the circuit with a constant wake-up current until the voltage line reaches a predetermined voltage. Also, an apparatus, comprising a circuit portion, a switch configured to selectively couple an input of the circuit portion to a supply voltage, a current source configured to generate a first current, and a control circuit configured to control a state of the switch depending on the first current. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100246235 | Memory Cell Heating Elements - The present disclosure relates to the heating of memory cells. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110309814 | USE OF AUXILIARY CURRENTS FOR VOLTAGE REGULATION - One embodiment relates to an apparatus that includes at least one circuit block and a voltage source configured to supply a first voltage to the at least one circuit block. The apparatus also includes a power delivery unit configured to be selectively activated based on a whether a quantity of power is to be delivered from the power delivery unit to the circuit block. A control unit is configured to, upon a change in power consumption of the at least one circuit block, activate the auxiliary power delivery unit to deliver the quantity of power to the circuit block. The auxiliary power delivery unit can quickly supply large currents since it does not necessarily rely on slow control loops using voltage sensing. Rather, the auxiliary power delivery unit often delivers pre-calculated current profiles to respond to the timing characteristic of the change of power consumption and of the voltage regulator. | 12-22-2011 |
