Abstract: An ice leveling system involves a laser receiver mountable on an ice conditioning head of an ice resurfacing machine below a top-most portion of the ice resurfacing machine and at least two laser projectors that project laser light in a plane below a level of the top-most portion of the ice resurfacing machine. The at least two laser projectors are mountable adjacent to an ice surface and are positionable around the ice surface so that the laser receiver when mounted on the ice resurfacing machine always receives the laser light from at least one of the at least two laser projectors during an ice leveling operation. At least one of the at least two laser projectors is height adjustable to align the laser light plane projected by the height adjustable laser projector with the laser light plane of others of the at least two laser projectors.

Abstract: A multi-mode charge pump generates a regulated voltage at an output node from a battery input voltage. The multi-mode charge pump has a plurality of flying capacitors and a plurality of switches coupled to the flying capacitors in order to selectively couple the flying capacitors to the battery, the output node or a reference potential. The regulated voltage is provided across a storage capacitor coupled to the flying capacitors, and the regulated voltage is input to a comparator. The comparator also receives a reference voltage and compares the regulated voltage to the reference voltage to generates an asynchronous regulation signal. A controller in the multi-mode charge pump can automatically transition between operation modes such as a buck mode, a doubler mode and a tripler mode by controlling actuation of the switches in response to the asynchronous regulation signal and clock signals.

Abstract: A method switches master/slave timing in a communication network without traffic disruption. The method includes a master device informing a slave of timing loss. The master device additionally begins transmitting with timing from a local reference clock and begins receive timing recovery. The slave freezes its receive timing recovery and locks its transmit clock. The master device transitions its transmit timing to use the recovered receive clock. The slave gradually switches to transmitting using its local clock signal. The method may be used in synchronous Ethernet networks.
