Did You Know...
...that after Parker Brothers executives turned down the game of Monopoly because it had "52 fundamental errors" (including taking too long to play), a copy of the game wound up in the home of the company president who stayed up until 1 a.m. to finish playing it? He was so impressed by the game that the next day he wrote to inventor Charles Darrow and offered to buy it!

| 20090201184 | ANALOG ERROR CORRECTION FOR A PIPELINED CHARGE-DOMAIN A/D CONVERTER A technique for correcting errors in Bucket Brigade Device (BBD)-based pipelined devices, such as Analog-to Digital Converters (ADCs). The gain between pipeline stages is desired to be a specific amount, such as unity: that is, all net charge present in each stage ideal... | 08/13/2009 |
| 20090146717 | INCREASING CHARGE CAPACITY OF CHARGE TRANSFER CIRCUITS WITHOUT ALTERING THEIR CHARGE TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS A technique for increasing the charge storage capacity of a charge storage device without changing its inherent charge transfer function. The technique may be used to implement a charge domain signal processing circuits such as Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) used i... | 06/11/2009 |
| 20090109597 | Metal-insulator-metal capacitors An interdigitated Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) capacitor provides self-shielding and accurate capacitance ratios with small capacitance values. The MIM capacitor includes two terminals that extend to a plurality of interdigitated fingers separated by an insulator. Metal ... | 04/30/2009 |
| 20090085787 | VOLTAGE RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (VRAM) An integrated circuit memory cell and voltage ladder design that adapts techniques typically applied to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) circuits to implement a compact array of analog Voltage Random Access Memory (VRAM) locations. The memory cells in the VRAM each st... | 04/02/2009 |
| 20080297393 | Low power 10 gigabit ethernet interface A low-power communication interface, such as used with 10 Gigabit Ethernet, that uses an analog front end having a charge-domain analog-to-digital converter that uses a charge-domain pipeline.... | 12/04/2008 |
| 20080218396 | Charge-domain pipelined charge-redistribution analog-to-digital converter A single-ended charge-domain pipeline of at least two stages is provided. Each stage comprises a charge-storage node, a charge-transfer circuit for conveying charge from said charge-storage node out of said stage, a charge-control capacitor connected to said charge-stor... | 09/11/2008 |
