Electrical pulse counters, pulse dividers, or shift registers: circuits and systems inventions 11/07

20070274432 - Shift register circuit: A shift register circuit includes a shift register unit and a buffer. The buffer is coupled to the output terminal of the shift register unit to delay the output signal from the shift register unit. The overlapped voltage of two output signals from two adjacent shift register units can be... Agent: Thomas, Kayden, Horstemeyer & Risley, LLP

20070274433 - Shift register circuit and image display apparatus equipped with the same: Malfunction caused by leakage current of the transistor and shift in threshold voltage is prevented in the shift register in which the signal can be shifted bi-directionally. The bi-directional unit shift register includes a first transistor Q1 for providing a first clock signal CLK to an output terminal OUT, a... Agent: Oblon, Spivak, Mcclelland Maier & Neustadt, P.C.

20070274434 - Period-to-digital converter: A period-to-digital converter includes a clock (1) for generating a timing signal, delay lines (2) for producing cumulatively incrementally delayed timing signals for each cycle of the timing signal and an isolator (3) connected in parallel to the delay lines for generating a signal indicative of a number of partial... Agent: Seyfarth Shaw LLP

20070263763 - Shift register and driving method thereof: A shift register having a plurality of stages for shifting a start pulse and outputting a shifted start pulse to a next stage, each of the plurality of stages includes a pull-up transistor controlled by a first node to apply a first clock signal to an output line, a first... Agent: Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP

20070258557 - Shift register circuit and pull high element thereof: A shift register circuit has a plurality of shift registers connected in series, each shift register having a phase-shifting element and a pull-high element, wherein the phase-shifting element receives a first input signal, a first clock signal and a second clock signal, and the first clock signal and the second...
