  • Publication number: 20200118632
    Abstract: Numerous embodiments of an improved charge pump design are disclosed for generating the high voltages necessary to perform erase and program operations in non-volatile flash memory devices. In these embodiments, each boost stage in the charge pump is modified to overcome a deficiency in prior art charge pumps whereby voltage actually would decrease in the final boost stage. These modifications include the addition of one or more of a clock doubling circuit, a local self-precharge circuit, a feed-forward precharge circuit, a feed-backward precharge circuit, and a hybrid circuit comprising NMOS and PMOS transistors and diodes.

  • Publication number: 20190283067
    Abstract: A diffuser for a liquid including a body including an opening for receiving the liquid in a container. An ultrasonic vaporizer is configured to vaporize the liquid received from the container into a vapor that is emitted from the body. A channel extends from the opening to the ultrasonic vaporizer and is configured to convey the liquid received from the container to the ultrasonic vaporizer with a gravity feed. The channel does not include any absorbent material. A power port is coupled to the body and configured to provide power to the ultrasonic vaporizer.

  • Patent number: 10092143
    Abstract: A mouthwash dispensing system including a bottle having a base and a top portion. The mouthwash dispensing system includes a pump configured to draw mouthwash out from within the bottle, the pump having a pump neck extending into the bottle and a pump nozzle for guiding the mouthwash out of the bottle. The mouthwash dispensing system further includes a cavity within the top portion and positioned below the pump nozzle, the cavity configured to receive a cup, such that the pump draws the mouthwash out of the bottle and into the cup. The mouthwash dispensing system further includes a toothbrush holder configured to rotate about the pump neck and move between a storage position and a use position, the toothbrush holder limiting movement of the cup within the cavity in the storage position, and holding a toothbrush in the use position.
