Patent number: 10841013Abstract: A receiver (e.g., for a 10G fiber communications link) includes an interleaved ADC coupled to a multi-channel equalizer that can provide different equalization for different ADC channels within the interleaved ADC. That is, the multi-channel equalizer can compensate for channel-dependent impairments. In one approach, the multi-channel equalizer is a feedforward equalizer (FFE) coupled to a Viterbi decorder, for example, a sliding block Viterbi decoder (SBVD); and the FFE and/or the channel estimator for the Viterbi decoder are adapted using the LMS algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: INPHI CORPORATIONInventors: Oscar Ernesto Agazzi, Diego Ernesto Crivelli, Hugo Santiago Carrer, Mario Rafael Hueda, German Cesar Augusto Luna, Carl Grace

Publication number: 20150253006Abstract: An inventive apparatus for reducing emissions from a wood heater comprises (i) two or more volumes of a porous, catalyst-coated medium and (ii) one or more holders for the catalyst-coated medium. The one or more holders are structurally arranged to hold the volumes of the catalyst-coated medium in a specified spatial arrangement within an exhaust flue of the wood heater. The catalytic media are sized and shaped so that, in that specified spatial arrangement, the volumes obstruct substantially all straight-line paths from a combustion chamber of the wood heater through the exhaust flue past the volumes of the catalyst-coated medium. In the specified spatial arrangement, the volumes also leave unobstructed at least one tortuous exhaust gas flow path from the combustion chamber through the exhaust flue around and past the volumes of the catalyst-coated medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2015Publication date: September 10, 2015Inventors: Lance Carl Grace, Tyler Mainord Grace

Patent number: 8831074Abstract: A receiver (or transceiver) is selectable between a Gaussian mode and a non-Gaussian mode. In the non-Gaussian mode, a transformation block applies a non-linear transformation to signal samples to convert non-Gaussian noise in the signal samples to Gaussian or approximately Gaussian noise. In the Gaussian mode, the transformation block is bypassed. Samples are equalized using an equalizer configured to operate with a Gaussian or approximately Gaussian channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Clariphy Communications, Inc.Inventors: Oscar E.

Patent number: 8120428Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, such as those involving a low noise amplifier. One such apparatus includes a low noise amplifier circuit configured to receive a signal at an input node and to output an amplified signal at an output node. The low noise amplifier circuit includes a first transistor of a first polarity; and a second transistor of a second polarity complementary to the first polarity. The first and second transistors are connected in series between first and second supply voltage nodes via the output node. The circuit further includes a third transistor cascoded with one of the first transistor or the second transistor, but does not include a transistor cascoded with the other transistor. This configuration allows the low noise amplifier circuit to provide an increased high-frequency gain and linearity while having improved high-frequency system noise figure in, for example, deep submicron CMOS technology.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventors: Antonio Montalvo, David McLaurin, Carl Grace

Patent number: 8094056Abstract: A lookahead pipelined ADC architecture uses open-loop residue amplifiers with calibration. This approach is able to achieve a high-speed, high-accuracy ADC with reduced power consumption. In one aspect, an ADC pipeline unit includes a plurality of lookahead pipeline stages (i.e., an ADC lookahead pipeline) coupled to a calibration unit. The ADC lookahead pipeline uses open-loop residue amplifiers. The calibration unit compensates for non-linearity in the open-loop amplifiers.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Clariphy Communications, Inc.Inventors: Ali Nazemi, Georgios Asmanis, German Cesar Augusto Luna, Mahyar Kargar, Carl Grace, Sumant Ramprasad
