Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for manufacturing a spiral duct. The apparatus includes: a first edge forming roll assembly (100) for forming dual bent parts at both straight edges of a metal band (300); a cutting roll assembly (200) for cutting the metal band (300) extracted from the first edge forming roll assembly (100) in a waved shape by periodically varying a horizontal rotation angle or in a straight shape in its longitudinal direction; a second edge forming roll assembly (400) disposed downstream of the cutting roll assembly (200) in feeding direction of the metal band (300) to form a single bent part of the waved edges of the cut metal band; and a seaming device (500) for coupling a single bent part with the dual bent part winding the cut metal band in a spiral shape. The method includes: supplying a metal band (300); forming an outward bent part, a vertically bent part, and an inward bent part at both straight edges of the metal band; periodically varying a horizontal rotation angle of a cutting roll assembly (200) to cut the metal band in a waved shape in its longitudinal direction to divide the metal band into two cut metal bands; forming a single bent part at the waved edge and a dual bent part at the straight edge; and coupling the single bent part with the dual bent part winding the cut metal band. Therefore, since a horizontal rotation angle of a cutting roll assembly (200) is periodically varied to continuously cut a metal band (300) along a straight line and a waved line, it is possible to form a duct in which straight connection ducts are integrally formed with a curved duct. In addition, since the cut parts of the metal band are formed smoother, it is possible to precisely and securely couple a single bent part with a dual bent part at their seam parts.

Abstract: Level shift circuits are disclosed for level shifting an input signal corresponding to a first voltage domain, to generate a pair of complementary output signals corresponding to a second, higher-voltage domain. Snap-back sensitive devices in a discharge circuit for a high voltage output node are protected, irrespective of the loading on the output node, and without requiring precise transistor sizing as a function of the output loading. The snap-back sensitive devices are protected by a voltage shifter circuit in series with the sensitive devices, to limit the voltage across the sensitive devices, even for a high capacitance output node at its highest output voltage. The voltage shifter circuit is then bypassed to provide for an output low level that fully reaches the lower power supply rail.
