Abstract: A disclosed under-voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit includes an automatic UVLO threshold configuration. The UVLO circuit may include an over-voltage protection circuit that receives power from a power source, a peak detector that detects a peak voltage output for the power source, a voltage threshold generator that sets a UVLO threshold based on the peak voltage output, and a comparator that compares an instantaneous voltage with the UVLO threshold and configures an operating mode of a device based on the comparison.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a vehicle telematics device is disclosed with a hibernate control circuit. The hibernate control circuit can selective switch battery power on and off to hibernatable circuits. The hibernate control circuit can be responsive to external main power availability, battery charge condition, and a periodic low frequency clock in the generation of a battery switch enable A power supply switch can be selectively controlled by the battery switch enable signal to switch battery power on and off to the hibernatable circuits.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for producing biphasic calcium phosphate materials using chemical processing methods including exposure to peroxides. The resulting materials exhibit an osteoinductive needle-like surface morphology and are useful as artificial bone grafts.
