Electrical pulse counters, pulse dividers, or shift registers: circuits and systems inventions 09/07

20070223648 - Prescaler and buffer: A prescaler that operates in a broad band. The prescaler includes a buffer and a counter. The buffer includes a first amplification circuit, which has three inverter circuits of different drive capacities, a second amplification circuit, which has four series-connected inverter circuits, and a feedback circuit. One of the inverter... Agent: Arent Fox PLLC

20070223647 - Apparatus for multiple-divisor prescaler: Disclosed is an apparatus for multiple-divisor prescaler, which includes an odd/even core divider, a divisor control logic unit, an odd number inserted mechanism, and an n-order divided-by-2 divider with changeable trigger edges. This invention uses a clock toggle mechanism to vary the trigger edges of each divided-by-2 divider in the... Agent: Jason Z. Lin Lin & Associates Intellectual Property, Inc.

20070217564 - Shift register and image display apparatus containing the same: A unit shift register includes first and second transistors for supplying low supply voltage to an output terminal. First and second control signals which are complementary to each other are input to first and second control terminals, respectively. A third transistor is connected between the first transistor and first control... Agent: Oblon, Spivak, Mcclelland, Maier & Neustadt, P.C.

20070217563 - Shift register circuit: A shift register circuit including a first shift register unit, a second shift register unit, a third shift register unit, and a fourth shift register unit connected in serial. The second shift register unit includes an output terminal, and a pull down system pulling the voltage of the output terminal... Agent: Thomas, Kayden, Horstemeyer & Risley, LLP

20070217562 - Aligning a frame pulse of a high frequency timer using a low frequency timer: A low frequency timing circuit is used to reestablish a timing signal in a high-frequency timing circuit after the high frequency timing circuit has lost and regained power. The timing of the low frequency circuit is measured against the timing of the high frequency circuit before the high frequency circuit... Agent: Farjami & Farjami LLP

20070206718 - Register circuit, semiconductor device, and electric appliance: A register circuit is provided with a register portion composed of a plurality of latches or flip-flops whose data input terminals are connected together and whose clock input terminals are connected together, and a coincidence checker that checks whether or not the output signals of the plurality of latches or...
