Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for locking a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at a high frequency may include use of a VCO and an integrator, which generates and outputs a control signal to the VCO, based on an inverting signal and a reference signal. The control signal locks the VCO to a high frequency signal (FH). A frequency divider is coupled to the VCO, receives FH from the VCO, divides FH by a factor “F”, and outputs a low frequency signal (FL). A switched capacitor resistor circuit (SCRC) is coupled to the frequency divider and the integrator. The SCRC receives FL from the frequency divider and generates the inverting signal. An integrating capacitor is coupled across an inverting and an output terminal of op-amp in the integrator. The output of the op-amp provides an integrator signal, which may be (optionally) filtered to produce the control signal.

Abstract: Disclosed fluid reservoirs include closure mechanisms for sealing an upper opening of the reservoir. The reservoir can have plates adjacent the upper opening. When the upper end of the reservoir is folded, the plates can be positioned on opposite sides, and a closure frame can be slid over the plates to pressure them together. The plates can have pins that engage with slots in the closure frame, and a separate closure lock can be slid over the end of the closure frame to prevent the pins from exiting the slots. The plates can also bias the opening open when the closure is not engaged. Also disclosed are flexible fluid reservoirs that include structural elements, such as baffles, that help retain a desired shape of the reservoir when filled or empty. Some baffles can be elastically deformable to allow flattening and expansion of the bladder while biasing toward a neutral position.
