20090049924HIGH SUCTION DOUBLE-CELL EXTRACTOR - A high suction double-cell extractor includes an outer cell defining an outer chamber, and an open-ended inner cell defining an inner chamber. The inner chamber is bottle-shaped and has a neck. The high suction double-cell extractor also includes a vertical loading system for applying axial force on a soil specimen during extraction. The high suction double-cell extractor also includes a port for introduction of pressurized air supply into the outer and inner cells. The introduced pressurized air can apply cell pressure on the soil specimen during extraction. The high suction double-cell extractor also includes a relative humidity control system and a differential pressure detector system. The high suction double-cell extractor can be used to measure stress-dependent soil-water characteristics curve (SDSWCC) under various stress states three-dimensionally and more accurately, and under total suction up to 8,000 kPa.02-26-2009

20090146749Low-Voltage Oscillator with Capacitor-Ratio Selectable Duty Cycle and Single-Input Sub-Threshold-Conducting Comparators to S-R Latch - An oscillator operates at a very low voltage yet has a duty cycle that is set by a ratio of capacitors that are charged and discharged. Sub-threshold p-channel transistors conduct sub-threshold currents below the normal threshold voltage, and drive set and reset inputs of a set-reset S-R latch. The S-R latch drives the oscillator outputs. The oscillator outputs feed back to charging p-channel transistors that charge one plate of the capacitors. During half of the cycle, the charging p-channel transistor is off, allowing one plate of the capacitors to discharge through an n-channel discharge transistor. After a period of discharge determined by the capacitance of the capacitor, the gate of a sub-threshold p-channel transistor falls enough for sub-threshold current to flow, triggering the set or reset input of the S-R latch. Since sub-threshold currents are needed to toggle the S-R latch, the oscillator begins to oscillate below the threshold voltage.06-11-2009
20100073070Low Voltage High-Output-Driving CMOS Voltage Reference With Temperature Compensation - A bandgap reference voltage generator has a first stage that generates a first current that is complementary-to-absolute-temperature (Ictat) and a second stage that generates a current that is proportional-to-absolute-temperature (Iptat). The Ictat and Iptat currents are both forced through a summing resistor to generate a voltage that is relatively independent of temperature, since the Ictat and Iptat currents cancel out each other's temperature dependencies. A PMOS output transistor drives current to an output load to maintain the load at the reference voltage. An op amp drives the gate of the PMOS output transistor and has inputs connected to emitters of PNP transistors in the second stage. A series of resistors generate the reference voltage between the PMOS output transistor and ground and drives bases of the PNP transistors and includes the summing resistor. Parasitic PNP transistors in an all-CMOS process are used. The generator operates with a 1-volt power supply.03-25-2010

20090091399LOW VOLTAGE SYNCHRONOUS OSCILLATOR FOR DC-DC CONVERTER - Systems and methods which provide an oscillator circuit outputting non-overlapping trigger signals throughout a range of operating voltages using a reset-set (RS) flip-flop type circuit configuration are shown. Embodiments utilize output driver buffers internal to the RS flip-flop circuit configuration to provide oscillator feedback delay. Feedback control circuitry may be implemented to ensure that the delay associated with any one driver buffer does not solely provide the feedback delay. Embodiments further implement input delay circuitry adapted to maintain a relatively constant reset and set input feedback delay ratio throughout a large range of operating conditions.04-09-2009

20120084220PRODUCT CERTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods are provided for generating a certificate of compliance for a product. A product control system (PCS) retrieves specification and/or regulatory data for a particular product and compares the retrieved data to test result data obtained for that particular product. The PCS generates a product certification if the test result data indicates that the product is in compliance with the specification data and/or the regulatory data. A product test plan generation system (PTPGS) enables a user to interact with a user interface to retrieve a test plan for a particular product. The test plan can be used to obtain test results for the particular product.04-05-2012
