Abstract: A shipping container for a motorized vehicle comprises a base frame and a top frame, each constructed of rigid tubing. The base frame has a plurality of tire rests on which respective wheels of the motorized vehicle will be placed. In addition, the base frame has a plurality of base sockets located at respective corners thereof. Each of the base sockets is oriented in an upward direction. The top frame of the shipping container includes a plurality of top sockets located at respective corners thereof. The top sockets are oriented in a downward direction so as to be opposed to the base sockets. A plurality of elongate posts respectively extend between each opposed pair of sockets such that the top frame will be supported in spaced apart relation from the base frame.

Abstract: A high-speed multiplexing technique employs diode bridges to multiplex the outputs of two or more digital-to-analog converters (DACs) together. Like prior art techniques, the diode bridges isolate the DAC outputs from one another and are activated by forward biasing the bridges, one at a time in a staggered-phase, sequential fashion with sequenced biasing currents, to effectively connect the DACs, one at a time to an output signal. Unlike prior art techniques, however, the low capacitance diodes are inserted in series with the sequenced biasing current driving each diode bridge, one on each side of the bridge. The low capacitance diodes are oriented to pass current in the direction of forward bias of the diode bridges. Voltage mode switching is employed to limit the effect of parasitic capacitances on output amplitude. One embodiment is directed to a pair of back-to-back diode bridges driven by a single transformer secondary winding.
