20090071551 | LIVING-HINGE AIR VENT VALVE - An application for a living-hinge air vent valve connectable to a sewer conduit includes a base and a cover sealed to the base forming a cavity between the cover and the base. A fluid inlet shaft depends from a roof of the base and is connected to external air passages passing through a side of the base and through vents in a side of the cover. A living-hinge flapper is situated above the fluid inlet shaft and within the cavity. The living-hinge flapper allows air to flow from the fluid inlet shaft into the cavity and prevents sewerage gasses from flowing from the cavity out through the fluid inlet shaft. One or more connecting shafts in the base fluidly connect the cavity with a sewer system. | 03-19-2009 |

20120147944 | HIGH RESOLUTION OUTPUT DRIVER - High resolution output drivers having a relatively small number of sub-driver branches or slices each having nominal impedances substantially larger than a quantization step and that incrementally differ from one another by an impedance step substantially smaller than a quantization step. In one implementation, such “differential” or “non-uniform” sub-driver slices implement respective elements of an n choose k equalizer, with each such differential sub-driver slice being implemented by a uniform-element impedance calibration DAC. In another implementation, each component of a uniform-slice equalizer is implemented by a differential-slice impedance calibration DAC, and in yet another implementation, each component of a differential-slice equalizer is implemented by a differential-slice impedance calibration DAC. In an additional set of implementations, equalization and impedance calibration functions are implemented bilaterally in respective parallel sets of driver branches, rather than in the nested “DAC within a DAC” arrangement of the hierarchical implementations. Through such bilateral arrangement, multiplication of the equalizer and calibrator quantizations is avoided, thereby lowering the total number of sub-driver slices required to meet the specified ranges and resolutions. | 06-14-2012 |
