Abstract: A cutting insert having a main lip, a rake face and at least one coolant duct, which is formed on the top side of the cutting insert, is disclosed. The at least one coolant duct runs at least partially in the rake face towards the main lip and the width increases towards the main lip.

Abstract: An indexable insert having two main faces (1) that face away from one another and that each have a full-perimeter cutting edge (3) at the face periphery, and having a chip step (6) adjoining the cutting edge (3), having a continuously curved surface.

Abstract: A groove insert to be received in a tool holder has, along its top and bottom side and on its rear side, a holding structure which is formed by holding faces which taper toward one another and by way of which the groove insert is fixed in the tool holder in a positive locking manner. The tool holder has corresponding counter faces. The groove insert and the tool holder form a groove cutting tool.

Abstract: In versions 1.1a and 1.2 of the DISPLAYPORT™ standard, capacitors are used between a sourcing circuit and a switch for the auxiliary channel. As a result, these capacitors are generally uncharged when the switch activates the auxiliary channel, which can result in errors. Here, a switch is employed that uses precharge circuits to precharge these capacitors. Thus, errors due to charging of these capacitors can be reduced.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for controlling damping and bandwidth in a phase locked loop (PLL), a loop filter is configured to have a dual path for charge pump current. A 3 dB bandwidth of the PLL is controlled by adjusting gain of a proportional current path. An integral current path includes a gating circuit to digitally control an amount of time an integral charge pump current received is passed through as an effective integral charge pump current. A resistor and capacitor (RC) circuit filters the proportional and effective integral charge pump currents, thereby providing a filtered input to a voltage controlled oscillator. Damping and hence peaking of the PLL is precisely controlled by sampling one of every p samples of the integral charge pump current to provide the effective integral charge pump current, p being an integer.
