  • Publication number: 20160310176
    Abstract: A humeral nail can include a nail longitudinal axis extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion, a first proximal through bore defining a first screw trajectory, a second proximal through bore defining a second screw trajectory, a third proximal through bore defining a third screw trajectory, a descending through bore defining a descending screw trajectory, and a calcar through bore defining a calcar screw trajectory. The first, second and third screw trajectories extend transverse to the nail longitudinal axis, the descending screw trajectory extends anterior to posterior and proximal to distal, and the calcar screw trajectory extends distal to proximal, anterior to posterior, and lateral to medial. In some examples, the calcar through bore defines at least two calcar screw trajectories.

  • Patent number: 9148233
    Abstract: Methods and systems for coexistence in a multiband, multistandard communication system utilizing a plurality of phase locked loops (PLLs) are disclosed. Aspects may include determining one or more desired frequencies of operation of a transceiver, determining a frequency of unwanted signals such as spurs, intermodulation, and/or mixing product signals, and configuring the Plls to operate at a multiple of the desired frequencies while avoiding the unwanted signals. The desired frequencies may be generated utilizing integer, which may include multi-modulus dividers. The wireless standards may include LTE, GSM, EDGE, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and/or WCOMA, for example. The frequencies may be configured to mitigate interference. Plls may be shared when operating in TOO mode, and used separately operating in FOO mode. One or more digital interface signals, zero exceptions on a transmitter spur emission mask, and sampling clocks for AOCs and/or DACs in the transceiver may be generated utilizing the PLLs.

  • Patent number: 8543073
    Abstract: Methods and systems for loop-through for multi-band TV tuners and set-top box and/or TV set applications are disclosed and may include generating master and slave output signals from one or more low-noise amplifiers including master and slave stages. The master and slave stages may include parallel-coupled gain paths. Gate terminals and source terminals of input transistors for the master and slave stages may be directly coupled. The input transistors for the master and slave stages may share an inductor coupled to the source terminals and to ground. The master and slave stages may include cascode stages. VHF and UHF signals may be amplified in the multi-band receiver. The generated master output signal may be processed in the multi-band receiver, and may be utilized to generate I and Q output signals. A plurality of the slave output signals may be summed and communicated to a receiver external to the multi-band receiver.

  • Patent number: 7570124
    Abstract: A plurality of inverters are arranged serially to form a ring oscillator and coupled to receive a reference clock signal. The reference clock signal is used to switch the inverters on and off so that not all of the inverters are on at a same time. The ring oscillator circuit is used as a divider circuit to divide the frequency of the reference clock signal to produce a local oscillator signal at a second frequency.
