Abstract: A linkage comprises a first rounded end providing a complimentary profile configured to mate with an inner radius of a loop element in a first drawbar spring, and a second rounded end opposite the first rounded end. The second rounded end provides a complimentary profile configured to mate with an inner radius of a loop element in a second drawbar spring. The linkage is configured to be positioned between the loop element in the first drawbar spring and the loop element in the second drawbar spring such that the first rounded end is mated with the loop element in the first drawbar spring and the second rounded end is mated with the loop element in the second drawbar spring to mechanically couple the first drawbar spring in series with the second drawbar spring.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for implementing a system-wide reset of multiple devices. The techniques ensure that when any one of the devices of the system is reset, all the devices are reset. For example, a system includes a master reset device and a plurality of slave reset devices that are interconnected by a single reset line to provide improved robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic pulse events. The master reset device detects a reset signal on the reset line and retransmits a true reset signal on the reset line in response to detecting the reset signal. Additionally, the master reset device may enter a blocking state after retransmitting the true reset signal to prevent detecting the reset signal that it transmitted on the reset line to avoid reset lockup.
