Testing Calibrated Delay Circuit Propagation Delay With A Phase Frequency Detector, Karthikeyan Subramanian, Kasi Chunduri, Mukesh Goyal, Dhivyabharathi Vethanayagam, Gurumoorthy, Durgesh Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

Testing calibrated delay circuit (CDC) propagation delay at high double data rate (DDR) speeds is often limited by inaccuracies and increased test time in automated test equipment (ATE). Traditional characterization methods may be impacted by external hardware parasitics that degrade accuracy, as well as specialized tools that may increase both test time and overall cost.

This disclosure describes an on-chip analog design-for-test (DFT) method that utilizes a phase frequency detector (PFD) from an existing phase-locked loop (PLL) to measure CDC delay. The calibrated clock and reference clock are routed to the PFD to convert the delay into a duty cycle. …

Yafo, Ha-Te‘Uda Ha-Aduma Street: The Military Finds / יפו, רחוב התעודה האדומה: ממצא צבאי, Alexander Glick

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The excavation on Ha-Te‘uda Ha-Aduma Street in Yafo uncovered fourteen military items, including two cannonballs and twelve small-caliber bullets. A correlation of these finds with historical sources and with modern and eighteenth–nineteenth-century maps suggests that the military items uncovered in the excavation were related to one or more of the historical sieges of Yafo: the siege laid by Muhammad Beq Abu-Dahab in 1775–1776, during which a siege battery was constructed within the area of the present excavation; or Napoleon’s siege in 1799, whose batteries were likewise positioned within the excavation area.

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The excavation at Ha-Te‘uda Ha-Aduma Street in Yafo yielded about fifty glass items dating from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries CE. These include imported and locally produced medicine, cosmetic and beverage bottles, as well as bracelet fragments of common types that first appeared in the Mamluk period and remained in use through the Ottoman period and into recent times. The finds reflect a modest repertoire associated with local daily life at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Yafo, Ha-TeʻUda Ha-Aduma Street: Late Ottoman Porcelain And Ceramics, Anna De Vincenz

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The salvage excavations on Ha-Teʻuda Ha-Aduma street in Yafo yielded a small Late Ottoman ceramic and porcelain vessel assemblage. Porcelain and hard-paste vessels were imported from Europe, whereas glazed earthenware vessels were imported from Europe and Turkey. Among the locally made vessels were Black Gaza Ware and other coarse ware vessels. Many roof tiles, complete and fragmentary, as well as bricks, were imported mainly from Marseille, France. Only a few smoking pipes and narghile were found; these were either locally produced or originated in Turkey.

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The excavation at the corner of Yehuda Ha-Yamit and Ha-Te‘uda Ha-Aduma Streets in Yafo uncovered remains dating to the eighteenth–twentieth centuries CE, including those of the late Ottoman and British Mandate neighborhood of al-Hureish. The earliest construction remains at the site, dated to the second half of the nineteenth century CE, suggest agricultural activity in the area or early residential structures with channels installed for drainage. This construction was later disrupted by a wall, possibly part of the eastern wall of the al-Hureish neighborhood, built in a subsequent phase. The main significance of the excavation was the al-Hureish neighborhood, founded …

Method For Smart Left Turn And Merging With Powertrain Aware, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Drivers frequently encounter significant challenges when making left turns onto main roads or merging into traffic, primarily due to difficulties in accurately assessing gaps in oncoming traffic. A critical concern arises from the misperception of approaching vehicle speeds and distances, a problem greatly exacerbated by the increasing prevalence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and other quick-accelerating vehicles.

EVs deliver maximum torque instantaneously, allowing many to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 5.0 seconds. This unique capability results in different acceleration characteristics compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, with some studies noting that EVs may accelerate more quickly. As …

Marker-Based Imperative Extraction Facility For Json Configurations, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a technique for extracting sub-JSONs from large JSON configurations (e.g., greater than 80,000 lines) without requiring JSON Schema definitions or knowledge of the JSON structure. The approach employs embedded marker annotations within JSON objects that specify filter criteria using a domain-specific language (DSL). A recursive parser evaluates these markers against user-selected filters to produce tailored configuration subsets on demand.

The DSL supports OR logic (comma-separated filters), AND logic (plus-sign conjunction), mixed boolean expressions, and recursive nested item evaluation via a checkNestedItems parameter. A key characteristic is imperative selection: elements without markers are included automatically in the output, …
