Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for an on-die virtual probe in an integrated circuit structure for measurement of voltages. In an example, an integrated circuit comprises a voltage-controlled frequency oscillator circuitry and a processor circuitry. The voltage-controlled frequency oscillator circuitry comprises a plurality of circuitry components and is configured to generate a signal having a frequency related to a supply voltage.

The processor circuitry further monitors on-die transient voltages at the location of the integrated circuit based on the value of the supply voltage.

Abstract: A portable tabletop assembly includes a horizontal tabletop, first and second pairs of legs for supporting the tabletop on a horizontal surface, a first crossbeam, and a height lock. Each pair of legs includes a first leg and a second leg pivotably connected to one another. Each leg has a first leg end, and a second leg end slidably coupled to the tabletop. The first crossbeam connects the first leg of the first pair of legs to the first leg of the second pair of legs. The height lock is engageable at infinite positions between raised and storage positions to inhibit horizontal sliding of the first crossbeam and the second leg ends of the first legs to fix a height of the tabletop above the horizontal surface. A method of adjusting the height of a portable tabletop assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for irradiation of a fluid with UV light includes a tubular body consisting of UV-permeable material. The body includes a fluid chamber and openings for passage of fluid. A UV source is provided to subject the chamber to the UV light. A wiper is centrally supported in the body to clean the inner surface of the body. Light baffles define an irradiated section of the chamber to prevent light penetration beyond the irradiated section while permitting the fluid to flow through. The apparatus is provided as a component in a housing having a modular design. The modules include a back cover for surface mounting. The body is mounted to the back cover. An inner cover is attached to the back cover. The inner cover includes the UV source and modular electronics. A front cover is attached to the inner and back cover.

Abstract: In order to detect performance parameter variations at different locations, local parameter detectors are located at the various local locations. One of the local locations is selected as the reference location while the other local locations are selected as destination locations. The reference location is utilized to determine a reference parameter value, while each destination location compares its local parameter value to the reference parameter value. The parameter values are current encoded and the reference parameter value is sent to the other locations for the comparisons. The comparison at the destination locations each generates a corrective signal to compensate for the difference in the parameter value between the locations. Parameter compensation is provided to reduce performance skew among the distributed locations.

Abstract: A circuit for controlling the bias current in a differential amplifier is disclosed. A differential amplifier comprising complementary differential input transistor pairs includes variable bias current sources to provide bias currents to the differential input pairs. The variable bias current sources are coupled to an input current control unit that includes one or more programmable switches to vary the amount of bias current supplied to the differential input pairs. The slew rate, differential gain, and common mode input range of the differential amplifier may be varied by adjusting the bias currents to the differential input pairs. A cascode circuit is coupled between the differential input pairs and their respective load circuits to extend the common mode input range to the supply voltage rail values.
