Publication number: 20240115455Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Joshua Sigsworth, Matthew Gingras, Eric Ankerud, Brian Morin, Dan Becker, Mark Brodie, Leland Ray Adams, Joseph Paul, Amy T. Potts, J. Derek Riemer

Patent number: 11742868Abstract: A time to digital circuit may provide a time measurement of an event, or a time measurement of a duration between multiple events. Various electronic devices may include one or more time to digital circuits. A time to digital circuit may include circuitry to use Thermometer Code for measuring the duration of the time. For example, the time to digital circuit may generate alternating signals using a ring oscillator when receiving an indication of an event. Moreover, the time to digital circuit may convert the alternating signals to a consistent signal with only one transition between high and low signals in multiple consecutive signals. Furthermore, the time to digital circuit may correct erroneous signal values of the consistent signals when multiple transitions between high and low signals in multiple consecutive signals occurs.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Eric A.

Patent number: 10317313Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus, system and associated method of operation that allows medium weight Class II equipment to be shock tested using a Medium Weight Shock Machine (MWSM) in a manner that adequately simulates the required shock response exhibited when subjected to underwater explosion (UNDEX), Heavyweight testing utilizing a FSP. Advantageously, such an apparatus, system and associated method allows for testing of Class II medium weight (e.g., about 500-4500 lbs.) equipment (e.g., submarine and surface vessel equipment) utilizing an MWSM instead of Heavyweight testing utilizing a Floating Shock Platform (FSP). Testing of Class II medium weight equipment in this manner significantly reduces cost of testing such equipment and increases safety associated with testing such equipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Ascendant Engineering SolutionsInventors: Keith Eric Becker, George Gregory Mooty

Patent number: 10126082Abstract: A rotational sear block isolates the rotational movement of the sear to the sear mechanism without using a rotational trigger. The isolation of the sear rotation to the sear mechanism allows for a single axis translational trigger to be used which gives the shooter the advantages of a short, crisp trigger pull without any off-axis movement. Additionally, the positive sear engagement and inherent safety of the design are achieved due to the sear being engaged and biased onto the sear block surface, disallowing unintended or accidental release.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Inventors: Billie Cyril Hudson, III, Lauren Honor Hudson, Keith Eric Becker, Mark Thomas Hammond

Patent number: 9444469Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods disclosed herein may initialize a delay-locked loop (DLL) or phase-locked loop (PLL) to achieve a locked condition and may then initiate a quiescent mode of operation. Quiescent operation may be achieved by breaking a feedback loop associated with the DLL or PLL to prevent updates to a variable delay line associated with the DLL and/or to a variable frequency oscillator associated with the PLL. An output clock phase associated with the DLL or PLL may thus be held substantially constant following a DLL initialization period. Additional embodiments are disclosed and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Eric Becker, Brandon Roth, Scott Schafer

Patent number: 9335372Abstract: This disclosure relates to delay line test circuits and methods. In one aspect, an integrated circuit (IC) can include a plurality of delay lines, a selection circuit, a delay comparison circuit, and a control circuit. The plurality of delay lines can generate a plurality of delayed clock signals, and the selection circuit can include a plurality of inputs configured to receive at least the plurality of delayed clock signals. The selection circuit can generate a first output clock signal and a second output clock signal by selecting amongst signals received at the plurality of inputs based on a state of a selection control signal. The delay comparison circuit can compare a delay of the first output clock signal to a delay of the second output clock signal and can generate a delay comparison such as a pass/fail flag based on the result. The control circuit can generate the selection control signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Scott Van De Graaff, Tyler Gomm, Brandon Roth, Eric Becker
