Patent CA-2653630-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SAINT-LAURENT MARTIN
IPC: H03K5/1252
Filed: 2007-06-13
Abstract: Techniques for the design and use of a digital signal processor, including (but not limited to) for processing transmissions in a communications (e.g., CDMA) system. Reduced glitch occurs in switching from a first clock input to a second clock input driving a clock multiplexer. The clock multiplexer receives a first clock input and provides a clock output and determines a low phase output level in the clock output in response to a low phase input level in the first clock output. For a limited period of time, a low phase output level is forced irrespective of the phase level of the first clock input signal. The clock multiplexer receives a second clock input and determines a low phase input level in the second clock input signal. Switching to providing the clock output in response to the second clock input occurs during the low phase input level in the second clock input signal. Then, the output of the clock multiplexer follows the phase level of the second clock signal.

Abstract: A device for gripping a load structure comprises a first jaw member having a proximate end and a distal end, a second jaw member slidably mounted to the first jaw member and having a proximate end and a distal end. Each of the two jaw members is provided with a gripper. The device further comprises a fulcrum member mounted to the first jaw member near the proximate end thereof and a flexible element secured to the second jaw member near the distal end thereof operatively coupled to the fulcrum member for causing an externally applied pulling force on the flexible element to move the distal end of the first jaw member towards the distal end of the second jaw member so as to yield a first inward force between the first and second grippers. The device further includes a biasing member mounted to both the first and second jaw members for pulling the distal end of the first jaw member and the distal end of the second jaw member towards one another, causing a permanent second inward force between the first and second grippers that causes the device to automatically grip onto the load when it is installed thereon. The device is particularly suitable to be used for lifting a load, such as a barrel, since the weight of the load can be used as the externally applied force when the device is hung by its flexible element. The first and second jaw members are advantageously in the form of tubes or any other generally flat members so that the center of gravity of the device remains adjacent to the load so as not to unbalance it.
