  • Patent number: 11152921
    Abstract: Systems and methods for propagating control signals in memories are described. One implementation includes a plurality of logic gates and a latch coupled between a control signal input and a delay line. The latch may store the value of the control signal before the control signal floats, thereby reducing the risk of incorrect signal propagation. Furthermore, the implementation may also include a clamp signal that isolates the plurality of logic gates before the control signal floats and continues to isolate the plurality of logic gates until after the control signal returns to either a digital one or a digital zero. The clamp signal may reduce leakage by disconnecting transistors within the logic gates from their power supply.

  • Publication number: 20210169009
    Abstract: A crop baling implement includes a frame and a baling chamber attached to the frame. The baling chamber is configured to form crop material into a bale extending along a central longitudinal axis of the bale. An orbital support is attached to the frame rearward of the baling chamber. The orbital support is rotatable about a wrap axis and defines an open central region. The orbital support is positioned to receive the bale from the baling chamber and pass the bale through the open central region of the orbital support. A wrap roller is attached to and moveable with the orbital support. A drive is coupled to the orbital support and operable to rotate the orbital support and the wrap roller about the wrap axis to unroll wrap material around the bale as the bale moves through the open central region of the orbital support.

  • Patent number: 10867668
    Abstract: A memory and method of performing a write operation in a memory are disclosed. In one aspect of the disclosure, the memory includes a memory cell, a pair of bit lines coupled to the memory cell, a multiplexer, and a pull-up circuit coupled to the multiplexer. The multiplexer may be configured to select the pair of bit lines coupled to the memory cell during the write operation. To increase the write performance of the memory cell, the pull-up circuit is configured to select which of the pair of bit lines is a non-zero bit line during the write operation and to clamp the non-zero bit line through the multiplexer to approximately a power rail voltage. Thus, the pull-up circuit may increase the voltage difference between the non-zero bit line and the zero bit line during the write operation and thus decrease the area and power consumed by a boost capacitance.
