  • Patent number: 12115663
    Abstract: An exoskeleton system, the exoskeleton system comprising one or more actuator units that include a fluidic actuator, one or more sensors and an exoskeleton device. The exoskeleton device includes a fluidic system, and a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions, that when executed by the processor, are configured to control the exoskeleton system to introduce fluid to the fluidic actuator of the one or more actuator units to cause actuation of the fluidic actuator of the one or more actuator units. The exoskeleton system may be configured to operate in, on or around a body of water and can be water and/or corrosion resistant.

  • Patent number: 7692483
    Abstract: A method for preventing snap-back in a circuit including at least one MOS transistor having a parasitic bipolar transistor associated with it includes coupling a circuit node including at least one source/drain node of the at least one MOS transistor to a bias-voltage circuit and enabling the bias-voltage circuit to supply a potential to the at least one source/drain node of the at least on MOS transistor, the potential having a magnitude selected to prevent the parasitic bipolar transistor from turning on.

  • Publication number: 20060232303
    Abstract: A sense amplifier circuit comprises first and second cross-coupled inverters to produce a latch with first and second power supply nodes. The first latch power supply node couples a first power supply potential to the latch when the sense amplifier is operating in a read-out mode. The second latch power supply node couples a second power supply potential to the latch when the sense amplifier operates in the read-out mode. The first and second latch power supply nodes are further configured to couple an equalization potential to the first and second power supply nodes when the latch is operating in an equalization mode.
