Abstract: A lining carrier (1) for a disc brake has a friction lining (2), and the lining carrier (1) is arranged in a lining carrier shaft (6) of a brake carrier (7). The lining carrier (1) has a front side (3) which faces the friction lining (2), a rear side (4) which faces away from the friction lining (2), and an edge face (5) which extends around a perimeter of the rear side (4) A region (8) of the edge face (5) that faces the lining carrier shaft (6) has a recess (9). A reinforcing rib (10; 10b) is arranged centrally on the recess (9).

Abstract: A disc brake (1) includes a brake disc (2), a brake caliper (3), two brake pads (4, 4?) that are movably guided on the brake caliper (3), a retainer spring (6, 6?) on each brake pad (4, 4?), a retainer bracket (8-8IV) for pre-tensioning the retainer springs (6, 6?) in relation to the respective brake pad (4, 4?), and an expander spring (10, 10?) that applies an expansion force between the brake pads (4, 4?) and diverging the brake pads (4, 4?). The ends of the expander spring (10, 10?) may bear in each case directly on one of the retainer springs (6, 6?). The disc brake (1) may have a loss prevention device that is operatively connected to the expander spring (10, 10?) such that the expander spring (10, 10?), in the absence of the expansion force, is held on the disc brake (1).

Abstract: A draw stop for a compound bow having a plurality of radii on perimeter with one common axis, axis is also coincident with mounting axis. The draw stop can be orientated in multiple positions to vary the draw length of a bow. No orientation pins or lugs are needed to achieve this.

Abstract: Various configurations and arrangements of various communication devices and antenna solutions are disclosed. Antenna solutions disclosed herein include a near field communication (NFC) controller, and at least one antenna interface circuit, which together may control and effectuate NFC communications via at least two NFC antennas. The at least two NFC antennas may be connected together in series or in parallel, and may be magnetically isolated by an isolation element.

Abstract: A near field communications (NFC) device is disclosed that interacts with other NFC devices to exchange information and/or the data. Another NFC device inductively couples a received communications signal onto an antenna circuit of the NFC device to provide a recovered communications signal. An overvoltage protection module regulates a power level of the recovered communication signal by detuning the antenna circuit when the power level of the recovered communication signal may cause damage the NFC device. Active components of the overvoltage protection module, such as voltage controlled impedances, operate in their linear mode of operation to reduce unwanted emissions during this regulation process.

Abstract: A low power multiple channel receiver mixing architecture for detecting wake-up signals over multiple communication channels in sniff processing performed in an implantable medical device (IMD). The architecture includes a direct conversion real receiver configured to scan a selected center channel and a Weaver receiver configured in parallel to the direct conversion real receiver to simultaneously scan side channels, together simultaneously detecting whether a wake-up signal is being received over the center and side channels with minimal power consumption. The architecture further utilizes a falsing protection algorithm that reduces power consumption during sniff operations by inhibiting the sniffing of channels likely to provide a false indication of a wake-up signal based the presence of unwanted signals on those channels.

Abstract: A mixer arrangement includes a first mixer having at least one signal input for receiving a first signal the frequency of which is to be changed. The mixer arrangement also includes at least one frequency input for receiving an input frequency and at least one output. The first mixer is configured to mix a first signal with an input frequency to provide an output which is output by the at least one output. A second mixer has at least one frequency input for receiving an input frequency and at least one output. At least one output of the first mixer and at least one output of the second mixer are combined to cancel unwanted components from the input frequency in the outputs of the mixers.
