Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a clock and data recovery circuit. A sampling circuit performs burst mode over-sampling on an input analog data signal according to a sampling timing in a burst mode to generate over-sampling results. A selection circuit determines neighboring two of the over-sampling results having opposite logic states in the burst mode to select data edge sampling results and data center sampling results interlaced with each other and having the same time period with input analog data signal from the over-sampling results accordingly to be output sampling results. A phase detection circuit performs phase detection according to the output sampling result to generate a phase locking direction. A phase adjusting circuit adjusts the sampling timing of the sampling circuit according to the phase locking direction to track the input analog data signal.

Abstract: A closure mechanism for a wine storage container having two fluid channels provides a compressive structure to apply a compressive force to a delayed valve actuation mechanism having an actuation plate, a support plate, and a valve plate. The actuation plate may be partially rotated before beginning to open or close the fluid openings. The first fluid channel permits wine to flow from the lower portion of the storage container, through an aerator, and through a valve cap assembly. The second fluid channel permits air to flow into the valve cap assembly to the aerator, and to vent the container. The valve cap assembly includes a decorative cap with a liquid outlet port positioned 180 degrees from a vent inlet port. In a fully open orientation, the liquid outlet port is positioned over the first fluid channel, and the vent inlet port is positioned over the second fluid channel.
