  • Publication number: 20160208419
    Abstract: Methods are provided to make composite yarns having a filamentary core with at least one elastic performance filament and at least one inelastic control filament. A fibrous sheath, preferably formed from spun staple fibers, surrounds the filamentary core, preferably substantially along the entire length thereof. The at least one elastic performance filament most preferably includes a spandex and/or a lastol filament. The at least one inelastic control filament is most preferably formed of a textured polymer or copolymer of a polyamide, a polyester, a polyolefin and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the fibrous sheath is formed of synthetic and/or natural staple fibers, most preferably staple cotton fibers. The elastic composite fibers find particular utility as a component part of a woven textile fabric, especially as a stretch denim fabric, which exhibits advantageous elastic recovery of at least about 95.0% (ASTM D3107).

  • Patent number: 8417206
    Abstract: Methods and systems for blending the audio output from a received FM signal between stereo and mono in which the L?R (left-minus-right) gain of the FM MPX may be adjusted as a function of RF signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the L+R (left-plus-right) noise level. During blending, the L?R gain based on the RF SNR and L+R noise may be reduced in a manner such that the total noise is kept substantially constant throughout the stereo-to-mono blend region.

  • Patent number: 5838387
    Abstract: A video scaling engine for scaling video data over a plurality of clock cycles is disclosed. In a first clock cycle of the plurality of clock cycles, a multiplier of the video scaling engine multiplies an input pixel by a coefficient indicated by a coefficient select signal to generate a first product. The first product is stored in an accumulator of the video scaling engine. In a second clock cycle of the plurality of clock cycles, the multiplier multiplies another input pixel by a coefficient indicated by another coefficient select signal to generate a second product. The second product is added to the contents of the accumulator to produce a sum including the first and second products. The sum including the first and second products is stored in the accumulator and then divided by a value based on at least one of the coefficients to produce a scaled output pixel.

  • Patent number: 5559965
    Abstract: An input/output adapter card for a standard bus in a computer system is disclosed that includes a nonvolatile memory that stores a plug and play identifier, a set of resource data, and a mode indication. The mode indication is programmed by an installation routine for the input/output adapter card to specify whether the input/output adapter card is plug and play compliant. The input/output adapter card accesses the mode indication and "plays" a configuration record from the nonvolatile memory to the configuration registers if the mode indication specifies that the computer system is not plug and play compliant. The configuration record mimics configuration writes to the configuration registers by a plug and play compliant computer system.

  • Patent number: 5508630
    Abstract: A system for probing a circuit is disclosed. In particular, a system for monitoring power levels close to the tip of a measurement probe in order to more accurately monitor the power applied to a circuit is contemplated. Microwave and millimeter wave signals are monitored through the use of a directional coupler which is mounted proximate the probe tip of a measurement probe. Power delivered to the probe tip is then detected by a signal created in the directional coupler. Connected to the directional coupler is a diode. The voltage across the diode is monitored and is indicative of the power delivered to the probe tip. A control signal resulting from the diode voltage may provide feedback control to a power source which delivers power to the measurement probe. Thus, utilizing feedback control a more accurate power delivery system is provided.
