  • Patent number: 11611158
    Abstract: A connector for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector includes a jaw and a relief. The jaw has a first member and a second member both depending from a support member and spaced from one another by a distance. The distance is larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The relief is defined on first member and/or second member. The jaw is deformably compressible onto the flexible busbar upon application of a deformation force on the first and second members so that the flexible busbar conforms to the at least one relief to form an electrical and mechanical connection.

  • Patent number: 10411873
    Abstract: Clock data recovery broadcast for multi-lane SerDes is disclosed. In some implementations, a serial input/output (I/O) interface includes a master lane and a plurality of slave lanes to receive serial incoming data. The master lane has a master clock and data recovery (CDR) module to generate master data sample clock control signals. The master data sample clock control signals can be broadcasted to the slave lanes. Furthermore, each of the plurality of slave lanes having a slave CDR module. The slave CDR module can include a clock edge tracking module to generate local data sample clock control signals, and a multiplexer to select the master data sample clock control signals or local data sample clock control signals to apply in the respective slave lane in response to a signal from a CDR controller indicative of a low power mode.

  • Patent number: 10109932
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides electrical clamps that can easily attach to a variety of shaped objects, such as fence posts and other objects for the purpose of establishing an electrical connection or conductive path between the electrical clamp, an object the electrical clamp is secured to, and a conductor attached to the electrical clamp. The electrical clamp utilizes an adjustable saddle construction that can be secured to the geometry of objects, such as a square, rectangular, round or oval geometry of the object, and a clamp cap construction that can electrically couple one or more conductors to the electrical clamp.

  • Publication number: 20050264585
    Abstract: A visual display system includes a buffer that receives and stores first coordinates of locations of anomalies on a surface. Some of the locations occur in out-of-round patterns including deviations from round. A processor receives the first coordinates and that transforms the first coordinates to second coordinates. Deviations from round in the first coordinates are transformed to deviations from straight lines in the second coordinates. A visual display unit generates a visual display of the second coordinates in a cartesian bitmap portion of the visual display.
