  • Publication number: 20250279769
    Abstract: In some examples, a circuit includes a reference signal generator, a comparator, a one-shot circuit, and a gate driver. The reference signal generator has first and second input terminals and an output terminal, the first input terminal of the reference signal generator configured to receive a discharge time select value, and the second input terminal of the reference signal generator configured to receive a stop voltage select value. The comparator has first and second input terminals, and an output terminal, the first input terminal of the comparator configured to receive a sensed voltage, and the second input terminal of the comparator coupled to the output terminal of the reference signal generator. The one-shot circuit has first and second input terminals, and an output terminal, the first input terminal coupled to the output terminal of the comparator, and the second input terminal configured to receive an on-time value.

  • Patent number: 10175665
    Abstract: Various aspects of a method and system for management of an electronic system are disclosed herein. The method includes detection of a plurality of electronic modules configured in a discoverable mode. The plurality of electronic modules is associated with one or more electronic sub-systems of the electronic system. The method further includes reception of a first set of data from the plurality of electronic modules. The method further includes dynamic prediction of a set of actions based on the received first set of data and second set of data. The second set of data corresponds to a previously executed set of actions.

  • Publication number: 20060130632
    Abstract: A resonator assembly includes a resonator, a collector-amplifier, as well as a timbre tray, one or more timbre pieces, and a detector holder. The resonator assembly, designed to be attachable to a conventional acoustic guitar, improves the quality and volume of the conventional guitar. A wood or metal timbre piece or a varying combination thereof may be used according the user's sound preference. The resonator, the collector-amplifier, the timbre holder tray and the detector holder are preferably made from thin brass.

  • Publication number: 20060048625
    Abstract: A sound enhancing device for F-hole stringed instruments, banjos, and drums. The device includes at least one cross-shaped element and a timbre square, which may be part of a larger, user-constructed sound emitter. Strung like beads along a fastener, one or more cross-shaped elements and timbre squares are arrayed between a bridge and terminal retainer. In one embodiment, the cross-shaped element and timbre square are juxtaposed, forming a sound emitter which is mounted within an F-hole instrument's sound chamber; the bridge, positioned above it and astraddle opposing F-hole side edges, collects inaudible sound surface waves and transmits them through the fastener—a knot-free, waxed string under tension—to the sound emitter. There sound waves are amplified by constructive interference, timbre characteristics added, and sound waves transferred into the sound chamber's air. The latter then increase the sound surface waves at the F-hole's edges, setting up a positive feedback loop.

  • Patent number: 4976386
    Abstract: A bicycle carrier adapted to be interconnected with a camper unit of the character that is typically mounted on the bed of a pickup truck. The bicycle carrier of the invention is uniquely designed to be pivotally mounted on one rear corner of the camper unit and to automatically swing away from the back the camper when the camper door is opened.
