RESISTOR-CAPACITOR OSCILLATION CIRCUIT
A resistor-capacitor oscillation circuit includes a first group of inverters, a second group of inverters, a latch, a delay circuit, and a third group of inverters. The first group of the inverters is connected to the delay circuit and is configured to generate a first signal A and a second signal B. An input end of the second group of the inverters is connected to an enable signal EN. An output end of the second group of the inverters is connected to the latch. An output end of the delay circuit is connected to the latch. The latch is connected to the third group of the inverters and includes a first output end and a second output end. After a first clock signal FB is driven by the third group of the inverters, an output signal CLK is output by an output end of the third group.

Detection and mitigation of oscillator phase hit
Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to detection of a Phase Hit and, upon detecting the Phase Hit, determining the magnitude and location of the Phase Hit. Detecting the Phase Hit may involve comparing a phase offset difference for successive pilot symbol to a detection threshold. Determination of the detection threshold may involve a Neyman-Pearson binary hypothesis testing (NP-BHT) approach. Once the magnitude and location of the Phase Hit are known, data symbols received after the location may be processed to remove the magnitude of the Phase Hit.

Low cost power line modem
A system for transmitting power and data through a two pin connection interface may have a first device having a power source, a first microcontroller with a first communication peripheral coupled with a first pin and a first control port coupled with a gate of a first MOSFET whose switch path couples the power source with the first pin; and a second device having a battery, a second microcontroller with a second communication peripheral coupled with a first pin and a second control port coupled with a gate of a second MOSFET whose switch path couples the battery with the first pin of the second device. When the devices are coupled, the MOSFETs are synchronously turned on and off, wherein during an off-cycle a data transfer between the first and second device takes place through the first and second communication peripherals of the first and second device, respectively.
Three-dimensional oscillator structure
Embodiments may relate to a structure to be used in a neural network. A first column and a second column, both of which are to couple with a substrate. A capacitor structure may be electrically coupled with the first column. An insulator-metal transition (IMT) structure may be coupled with the first column such that the capacitor structure is electrically positioned between the IMT structure and the first column. A resistor structure may further be electrically coupled with the IMT structure and the second column such that the resistor structure is electrically positioned between the second column and the IMT structure. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
