  • Spring biased filter element
    Patent number: 10913018
    Abstract: A filter element for use in a housing of a filter assembly having a cover and a seal therebetween. The housing includes inlet and outlet valves. The filter element comprises a first endcap and a second endcap including an inlet valve actuator. A cylindrical ring of filter media extends axially between the first and second endcaps and surrounds a center tube that defines an outlet having an outlet valve actuator. A sleeve positioned to receive and exert force in a first and second direction surrounds a bias member. Threading the cover to the housing compresses the bias member causing the inlet and outlet valve actuators to actuate the inlet and outlet valves. Removing the cover causes extension of the bias member and the inlet and outlet valve actuators to retreat from the inlet and outlet valves before the seal between the cover and the housing is broken.

  • Switched capacitor comparator
    Patent number: 10911058
    Abstract: Multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDACs) are implemented in pipelined ADCs to generate an analog output being fed to a subsequent stage. A switched capacitor MDAC can be implemented by integrating a capacitor digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with charge pump gain circuitry. The capacitor DAC can implement the DAC functionality while the charge pump gain circuitry can implement subtraction and amplification. The resulting switched capacitor MDAC can leverage strengths of nanometer process technologies, i.e., very good switches and highly linear capacitors, to achieve practical pipelined ADCs. Moreover, the switched capacitor MDAC has many benefits over other approaches for implementing the MDAC.

  • Representing Traffic Along a Route
    Publication number: 20210005019
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that has a novel way of displaying traffic congestion along roads in the map. The mapping application in some embodiments defines a traffic congestion representation to run parallel to its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at a particular zoom level, and defines a traffic congestion representation to be placed over its corresponding road portion when the map is viewed at another zoom level. The mapping application in some embodiments differentiates the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies heavy traffic congestion from the appearance of the traffic congestion representation that signifies moderate traffic congestion. In some of these embodiments, the mapping application does not generate a traffic congestion representation for areas along a road that are not congested.

  • Track and hold circuits for high speed and interleaved ADCs
    Patent number: 10873336
    Abstract: Improved track and hold (T/H) circuits can help analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) achieve higher performance and lower power consumption. The improved T/H circuits can drive high speed and interleaved ADCs, and the design of the circuits enable additive and multiplicative pseudo-random dither signals to be injected in the T/H circuits. The dither signals can be used to calibrate (e.g., linearize) the T/H circuits and the ADC(s). In addition, the dither signal can be used to dither any remaining non-linearity, and to calibrate offset/gain mismatches in interleaved ADCs. The T/H circuit design also can integrate an amplifier in the T/H circuit, which can be used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ADC or to act as a variable gain amplifier (VGA) in front of the ADC.
