Abstract: A voltage regulator utilizes an external pass transistor coupled between a supply voltage node and a regulated node. The voltage regulator includes an internal pass transistor that is coupled between the supply voltage node and the regulated node. A two-tap voltage divider between the regulated node and a ground node provides two feedback voltages. A first control loop that controls the external pass transistor receives the first feedback voltage and a second control loop that controls the internal pass transistor receives the second feedback voltage. At startup the control loops run concurrently but the first control loop is prioritized to reduce load current provided by the internal pass transistor at the end of startup. The voltage difference between the first and second feedback voltages ensures prioritization of the first control loop and the external pass transistor supplies most or all of the load current.

Abstract: A method for display noise canceling in a touch sensing system includes measuring a first feedback voltage of a feedback node resistively coupled to a line voltage of a capacitive touch panel, the line voltage formed by a continuous wave output of an amplifier responsive to a reference voltage difference between the first feedback voltage and a reference voltage. A second feedback voltage is clamped to a first upper voltage threshold in response to a first voltage difference between the first feedback voltage and the reference voltage being greater than the first upper voltage threshold. The second feedback voltage is clamped to a first lower voltage threshold in response to the first voltage difference being less than the first lower voltage threshold.

Abstract: A molding, baseboard or the like for accommodating equipment such as electrical equipment and, in this case, electrical wiring for such electrical equipment, comprises a generally U-shape main part having a back and two side flanges and a separate cover adapted to extend between the free edges of the flanges. At least one longitudinal rib projects from the back of this main part for selective attachment of accessories thereto. At least one removable partition for optional use has a foot adapted to be attached to the rib or one of the ribs and there is also provided at least one set of at least two part-covers for use when one or more partitions are used. Each part-cover is adapted to extend between one side flange of the main part and the removable partition when one partition is used or between two removable partitions when two or more are used. The side flanges each comprise a snap-fastener member adapted to cooperate with a complementary snap-fastener member on the cover or part-cover.
