Abstract: A portable computer accessory having a housing, a controller, and a first and second button separated by a surface area configured to accommodate a foot of a user. The controller is configured to detect a first set of two or more commands associated with a first set of one or more actuation types of the first button, each command from the first set of commands corresponding to a respective actuation type from the first set of actuation types, detect a second set of two or more commands associated with a second set of one or more actuation types of the second button, each command from the second set of playback commands corresponding to a respective different actuation type from the second set of actuation types, and, based on the first and second sets of commands, control playback of a video displayed on a computing device.

Abstract: A current-limiting fuse for an electronic apparatus, such as, for example, a transformer. The fuse can be withdrawable under a liquid insulating medium, such as oil, and is capable of being replaceable in the field. The fuse can include a fuse element that is encased within an electrically insulative sheath. Additionally, a plurality of contact blades can extend from a lower portion of the fuse and be securely engaged with contact clips that are in electrical communication with one or more components of the electronic apparatus. The contact blades can be positioned within a dielectric insulating medium while a reminder of the fuse between the contact blades and the enclosure can be positioned within an air gap. Further, the contact blades can accommodate seating of the fuse within the enclosure and/or an associated canister.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to detect target analytes based on magnetic resonance measurements. Magnetic structures produce distinct magnetic field regions having a size comparable to the analyte. When the analyte is bound in those regions, magnetic resonance signals from the sample are changed, leading to detection of the analyte.

Abstract: A serializer-deserializer instantiated in configurable logic of an integrated circuit is described. The serializer-deserializer includes an input deserializer and an output serializer, which may be commonly coupled via an input/output pad. Each of the serializer and deserializer may be configured for an operating mode selected from a Single Data Rate mode and a Double Data Rate mode. The serializer-deserializer may be used as part of a synchronous interface.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator includes an emitter coupled multivibrator in which a capacitor determines the frequency of oscillation along with a pair of load resistors and a pair of current sources. A differential amplifier is coupled to operate in parallel with the mutlivibrator and its tail current is operated differentially, with respect to the currents in the pair of sources, in response to the input voltage at a first modulation input port. Thus, a constant current flows in the multivibrator loads even when the frequency is modulated. A second input port is coupled to vary the tail current in the differential amplifier to comprise a dual port control of the voltage controlled oscillator. The circuit can be operated at a relatively low supply voltage and can be temperature compensated. Furthermore, the input ports can include circuitry having a logarithmic response for digital signaling processing.
