Abstract: An interleaved digital-to-analog converter (DAC) system may include a first sub-DAC and a second sub-DAC and may be configured to provide both a converter output signal and a calibration output signal. The converter output signal may be provided by adding the first sub-DAC output signal and the second sub-DAC output signal. The calibration output signal may be provided by subtracting one of the first and second sub-DAC output signals from the other. The calibration output signal may be used as feedback to adjust the phase of one of the sub-DACs relative to the other, to promote phase matching their output signals.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes aspects of segmented resistor architecture for digital-to-analog converters (DACs). In some aspects, a DAC circuit is implemented with a first resistor network coupled to a set of binary code-controlled current sources and a second resistor network that includes a resistor coupled between the first resistor network and an output of the DAC circuit. A set of thermometer code-controlled current sources are coupled to a node of the second resistor network and provide varying amounts of current. This current is scaled based on a resistance of the second resistor network's resistor, which is higher than a resistance of the first resistor network and effective to increase a combined output impedance of the first and second resistor networks. The increase of output impedance reduces noise of the resistor networks that transfers to the output of the DAC circuit, thereby improving signal-to-noise performance of the DAC circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed are topical compositions comprising extracts of Hypsizygus ulmarius in amounts that are effective to influence LTB4-mediated chemotaxis and/or IL-1? mediated adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The Hypsizygus ulmarius extract may be used alone or in combination with secondary anti-inflammatory and skin active agents, such as other mushroom and/or natural extracts. The secondary anti-inflammatory agents may or may not function by antagonizing LTB4-mediated chemotaxis and IL-1? mediated adhesion. The extract may be incorporated into a cosmetically acceptable vehicle. The present invention includes methods of treating skin inflammation by applying to inflamed skin, anti-inflammatory effective amounts of Hypsizygus ulmarius extract in a defined treatment regimen.
