Abstract: A cartridge of an e-vaping device includes a housing extending in a longitudinal direction, a reservoir in the housing, a heater in the housing, and an absorbent material at least partially surrounding the sinusoidal shaped member. The reservoir is configured to store a pre-vapor formulation. The heater has a sinusoidal shaped member translating about an elliptical shape to define a channel there through. The absorbent material is in fluid communication with the reservoir.

Abstract: A circuit for that includes isolation logic is disclosed. In one aspect, circuit comprises at least one input/output (I/O) cell, the I/O cell further including circuitry functions, isolation control logic, and a capability to receive power to the I/O cell from a power domain source. In a second aspect an integrated circuit comprises a physical layer (PHY) logic and at least one input/output (I/O) cell in communication with the PHY logic. The I/O cell capable of receiving power from a plurality of power domains. The I/O cell includes an isolation control logic and an I/O logic capable of receiving power from one power domain of a plurality of power domains, wherein the I/O logic and the isolation controller are arranged in communication through a level shifter for shifting power to maintain an active operation of the at least one I/O cell; wherein since the isolation control logic is within the I/O cell, only one active power domain of the plurality of power domains is required.

Abstract: An arrangement for reading data from a magnetic data carrier using a magneto-resistive (MR) head. A bias current source supplies the MR head with a bias current adjustable after MR head change. A bias current control signal having multiple control bits is used for adjusting the bias current. A noise shunting capacitor is connected to the MR head for reducing noise caused by the bias current. A discharging circuit is coupled to the noise shunting capacitor to discharge the capacitor when the bias current is being adjusted, in order to reduce bias current settling time. The discharging circuit comprises a pair of switches for each control bit of the bias current control signal. One of the switches is connected to a positive plate of the noise shunting capacitor, and another switch is coupled to a negative plate of the capacitor. The switches are controlled by a one-shot multivibrator triggered by a falling edge of the corresponding control bit.

Abstract: A tristate buffer circuit for mixed voltage applications. The circuit is built from field effect transistors and is used as an output buffer in applications where a low voltage component needs to drive both components which are powered by the same low voltage and components which are powered by a higher voltage. The circuit uses a floating n-well technique in combination with a pass-gate network, a one-shot circuit, and a process-dependent bias voltage reference. It is particularly useful on CMOS semiconductor chips which have bus interfaces, such as local area network (LAN) protocol chips.
