Abstract: Embodiments of the Hose Tool are comprised of head assembly and handle assembly. The head assembly is comprised of a hose tab guide, a plurality of hose dogs, a plunger bar rack, and a hose tab guide sleeve. The handle assembly is comprised of a chassis, plunger bar rack, two handle pinons, a spring, two hinged handles, two bolts, a pivot pin, a guide bolt, two latch pins, and latch pin spring. The two hinged handles are attached to the two handle pinons via two bolts; held open by two latch pins being pressed into slot in two handles pinons by a latch pin spring. Depressing the two latch pins allows two hinged handles to swing alongside hose tool for storage. The two halves of two handle pinons are separated, timed and engaged within the plunger bar rack; then inserted into chassis and secured with pivot pin.

Abstract: Controlling a PLL includes providing a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and coupling an output of the VCO to a shifter circuit. The shifter circuit has a shifter circuit output, the shifter circuit also including an activation input for receiving an activation signal, the shifter circuit causing at least one pulse of the output signal to be suppressed at the shifter output upon receipt of the activation signal. Controlling also includes coupling the shifter circuit output to a first frequency divider.

Abstract: A jitter measurement circuit and method having an input for receiving a reference signal whose jitter is to be measured, an input for receiving a clock signal having a series of cycles, and a measurement circuit for measuring the delay between the reference signal and the clock signal on a cycle by cycle bases, giving a cycle to cycle jitter measurement. The measurement circuit includes a plurality of n stages, each stage having a delay element including an input. The second and later delay elements have their inputs connected to the output of the previous stage and the first delay element has an input for receiving the reference signal. One of n latches is connected to the input of a corresponding one of the delay elements. Each latch has a clock input for receiving the clock signal, and an output for latching the value on the latches input when the clock input is clocked by an edge of the clock signal.
