  • Publication number: 20110088438
    Abstract: A low-power-consumption actuator for battery-powered electronic lock includes assembled first and second cases, the second case being provided at a top with a through bore; a piezoceramic/steel sheet assembly consisting of superposed first and second piezoceramic/steel sheet sets, a first end portion of the second piezoceramic/steel sheet set being in a free state; a circuit board electrically connected to the piezoceramic/steel sheet assembly; and a pin unit being located between a top of the first end portion of the second piezoceramic/steel sheet set and the through bore. When the circuit board applies a voltage across the piezoceramic/steel sheet assembly, the first end portion of the second piezoceramic/steel sheet set upward flexes and thereby displaces to push against the pin unit for a pin thereof to protrude from the through bore and interfere with a latch bolt of the electronic lock, so as to actuate the latch bolt.

  • Publication number: 20070258304
    Abstract: A memory device comprises a memory cell and a sense amplifier which has a sensing interval. An output circuit is coupled to the sense amplifier and responsive to a clock signal to accept the signal from the sense amplifier. A first source of timing signals generates a first timing signal in response to an enable signal which is asynchronous relative to the clock signal. A second source of timing signals generates a second timing signal based on the clock signal. A switch selects one of the first and second timing signals at the timing signals for use to define pre-charge and sensing intervals for the sense amplifier. The first source of timing signals is selected during an interval of time corresponding to a clock latency, so that the timing signals define a sensing interval where transitions in the clock signal are outside of the sensing interval.
