Abstract: A video display unit support bracket (100) that facilitates greater integration of TV, internet, gaming, and computer peripheral devices. The bracket (100) can include a rigid casing (105) defining a first outer shell (205). An engagement structure (110) can be disposed on a portion of the rigid casing (105). The engagement structure (110) includes one or more receivers (220) that are configured for rotatably securing a proximal end (121) of a video display unit support arm (120) to the rigid casing (105). The rigid casing (105) can enclose a first internal cavity (306), which, in turn, can enclose one or signal processing circuits (300) selected from the group consisting of an RF modem (310), a multiplexing device (305), and a control signal interface circuit (315).

Abstract: A level translator block receives a control signal and a data signal and provides an interface between circuitry operating in a first voltage domain and circuitry operating in a second voltage domain. Thick-oxide transistors are appropriately used in the level translator block to reduce gate leakage currents when translating signals.

Abstract: In a process and a device for electronically controlling actuators of a combustion engine with variable gas exchange control using a suction pipe pressure model where the connection between the cylinder filling level and the suction pipe pressure is described by a straight line with gradient and offset, the gradient and/or offset are determined as a function of the valve overlap surface. Preferably, the gradient and/or the offset are also determined as a function of the position of the valve overlap surface. The position of the valve overlap surface can be determined by the interval between the center of gravity of the valve overlap surface and a reference crankshaft angle. This improves the control of a combustion engine in motor vehicles with a gas exchange control (for example, with variable cam shaft rotation and/or cam shaft switchover to phaseless change of the valve control time and/or the valve stroke) with a view to accuracy and flexibility.

Abstract: A "true" 16-bit second order Sigma-Delta based converter that has superior analog components and has a programmable comb filter which is coupled to the digital signal processor. This converter comprises a second order Sigma-Delta modulator and a programmable comb filter. The second order Sigma-Delta modulator dramatically attenuates the baseband quantization noise energy (which in turn increases the resolution of the converter), since its superior amplifiers and comparators enable it to oversample and coarsely quantize the analog input signal at a very high sampling frequency of 12 MHz. The amplifiers are class AB OTAs, which have cross coupled NMOS driven input stages, and cascoded output stages. Also, the common mode voltages are the optimal biasing points, and these voltages are kept constant by a differential input stage, by a PV independent temperature dependent current generator, by optimal device size, and by a common mode feedback circuitry.
