Abstract: A mono-wheel skate device with wheel mounted in a latitudinal direction. The axis of rotation of the wheel is aligned with the axis that runs between the boot toe and the boot heel. The direction of the wheel is perpendicular to the axis that runs between the boot toe and the boot heel and the wheel rim spins on guide wheel members connected to a guide wheel support member which connect to a protective boot. The user balances the device by continuously correcting the orientation of each boot. For example when the user feels himself/herself falling forward out of balance, the user moves his/her feet in such a way as to bring his/her toes closer together which tracks the boots forward of the original line of motion and thus regaining balance. The user must be in a state of constant correction which with practice will become natural and reflex. This device moves the user in a sideways direction and it is up to the user to decide to move to the user's right or to the user's left.

Abstract: A two wheel articulated board device which the user can operate on smooth rough or smooth terrain. The device has a rear board member and a front board member which are connected at a pivot point. Each board member can rotate relative to the other board member around this pivot point. The device is supported by two wheels. A rear wheel which extends rear of the board and above the level of the board and a front wheel which extends forward of the board and above the level of the board. The front wheel is connected to the board by a front fork which attaches to the underside of the board. The rear wheel is connected to the board by a rear fork which attaches to the underside of the board. There is a flexible member that connects at one end with the underside of the device rear of the pivot point and at the other end at the underside of the device forward of the pivot point.

Abstract: A configuration for crosstalk attenuation in substantially mutually parallel word lines of DRAM circuits, includes a decoder provided at a first end of a word line, and a holding transistor. A pull-down device is provided as a "noise killer" at a second end of the word line, which opposite the first end. The pull-down device pulls down the potential of the word line in a standby and hold mode in the event of an active adjacent word line.

Abstract: An interleaved sense amplifier with a single sided precharge device which provides simplification of the conventional sense amplifier circuitry, as well as a reduction in the area occupied by the sense amplifier circuitry, thereby resulting in chip size reduction. A precharge device is placed on only one side of the sense amplifier, which is used to charge both sets of bit lines pairs that are coupled to the sense amplifier to a common voltage during an equalization/precharge operation. In addition, the resistance of the transistors comprising the precharge device is increased such that the precharge transistors can be further utilized for limiting the flow of current between the bit line pair and precharge net, which obviates the need for the additional leakage limiter devices in the conventional sense amplifier arrangement. Thus, a compact and simplified sense amplifier architecture is realized.

Abstract: A distinctive method and apparatus (20) technique for intermittently applying a component (22) onto a moving substrate (26). The method and apparatus can include a conveyor (28) configured to provide the moving substrate (26) at a selected substrate speed, and a transporter (30) configured to deliver a component web (24) at a selected component web speed which differs from the substrate speed. A rotatable applicator roll (32) has an appointed rotational direction (36), and an outside applicator surface (34). The applicator roll is configured to be rotated at a rate which provides to the applicator surface (34) a surface speed which is substantially equal to the substrate speed. At least one deceleration carriage (40) is assembled to rotate with the applicator roll (32) and is configured to receive and hold a selected portion of the component web (24).

Abstract: A decoded source sense amplifier in which the column select signal is shaped so that it turns on bit select transistors at a predetermined time after the source electrodes of the sense amplifier are connected to ground, so as to give the sense amplifier time to latch before it is coupled to external bit lines.

Abstract: An off-chip driver with regulated supplies compensates for power supply fluctuations. The circuit reduces di/dt noise by providing complementary voltage regulators to regulate the high and low supplies to the driver stages such that they see a constant operating voltage regardless of changes in supply voltage, V.sub.CC. The circuit uses two push-pull stages which charge and discharge the output load capacitance, C.sub.0. This regulated voltage to the driver stages reduces di/dt noise and provides a constant overdrive voltage, constant gate slew rate, and constant staging delay over a specified external supply voltage range.
