  • Digital-to-analog converter with a shared resistor string
    Patent number: 8514120
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided that comprises resistors, a first set of switches, and a second set of switches. The resistors are arranged in an array having columns and rows, where the number of resistors is an integer multiple of the number of columns or rows. The resistors are coupled together in a skip-K pattern. Each switch from the first and second sets of switches is coupled to the resistor string, and the first and second sets of switches are each arranged in a sequence and are offset from one another by an offset value. The first and second sets of switches are arranged along the periphery of the array such that each switch from the first set of switches is located in proximity to and is associated with the same row or the same column as its corresponding switch in the sequence from the second set of switches.

  • Siding support apparatus
    Publication number: 20060070311
    Abstract: A siding support apparatus includes a rigid vertical member having an upper end and a lower end. An anchor block is provided for anchoring the vertical member in parallel spaced relation to a wall to which siding is to be applied. A plurality of supports are positioned at uniform spaced intervals along the vertical member between the lower end and the upper end.
