Abstract: A quick connector assembly for connecting a toilet waste pipe to a drain pipe including a toilet carrier base. A collet has resilient radially inward fingers and a lock body secures the collet in place. The lock body has guide tracks with locked portions that define a locked position and unlocked portions that define an unlocked position. A lock nut includes interior protrusions coupled in the guide tracks for movement between the locked and unlocked positions. A guide is slidingly mounted between the lock nut and lock body. In the unlocked position, the lock nut forces the guide into the collet so that the radially inward fingers are splayed to allow removal of a toilet waste pipe for adjustment. In the locked position, the guide is not forced into the collet so that the radially inward fingers prevent removal of the toilet waste pipe for fast and easy assembly.

Abstract: A circuit and a method for supplying a regulated voltage to a target circuit characterized by fast changes in current loading are described. A voltage regulator supplies the regulated voltage to an output node. The voltage regulator has a transistor having a gate, a first terminal connected to a power supply terminal, and a second terminal connected to the output node of the voltage regulator. A voltage transition generator is capacitively coupled to the gate of the transistor to increase or decrease its driving power upon occurrence of an event in the target circuit indicating a change in current loading. The change in current loading can have an expected magnitude, and the voltage transition can have a magnitude that is a function of an expected magnitude of the increase or decrease in current loading.
