This invention provides a pre-surgical disinfecting composition that includes at least about 50 percent by weight of a C.sub.1-6 alcohol, based upon the total weight of the disinfecting composition, an acid, and a cationic oligomer or polymer. A method for pre-surgical skin disinfection with rapid antiseptic efficacy without the use of secondary antimicrobial compounds is also described.

A device, in particular a pre-assembled transmission cable, is used to transmit differential data signals in a high-speed data connection. The device contains a circuit board with a conductor pair with two signal conductors for transmitting the differential data signal. An output line which is insulated from the conductor pair is paired with the conductor pair, the output line running parallel to the signal conductors in a non-interrupted manner and additionally being connected to a measuring conductor via at least one damping element. By virtue of the configuration, an undesired common-mode signal component is at least partly coupled into the output line, where the signal component is absorbed during operation.

A trace to be coupled to an input of a receiver, the trace including: a plurality of first portions; and a plurality of second portions alternately coupled in series with the first portions, the second portions having a width that is different from that of the first portions.

A circuit can include a closed loop bus line having a plurality of connections. The circuit can include a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on the close loop bus line at a respective connection of the plurality of connections. One or more of the integrated circuits can be configured to drive a signal on the closed loop bus line. The closed loop bus line can be configured to prevent signal reflection. For example, in certain embodiments, there are no termination resistors at any of the terminations to reduce size, weight, and/or part count of the circuit.

The disclosure relates to a radar system for registering the environment for a motor vehicle, with a circuit board includes a wave termination with a termination line, a signal line connected to it for the transmission of a high frequency signal, and a first substrate layer which is produced from a material with a first loss factor.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for electrical signal absorption in an interconnect disposed in a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. In one instance, a PCB assembly may comprise a substrate, and an interconnect formed in the substrate to route an electrical signal within the PCB. The interconnect may be coupled with a connecting component that is disposed on a surface of the PCB. An absorbing material may be disposed on the PCB to be in direct contact with at least a portion of the connecting component to at least partially absorb a portion of the electrical signal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses related to memory operation with common clock signals are provided. A memory device or system that includes one or more memory devices may be operable with a common clock signal without a delay from switching on-die termination on or off. For example, a memory device may comprise first impedance adjustment circuitry configured to provide a first impedance to a received clock signal having a clock impedance and second impedance adjustment circuitry configured to provide a second impedance to the received clock signal. The first impedance and the second impedance may be configured to provide a combined impedance about equal to the clock impedance when the first impedance adjustment circuitry and the second impedance adjustment circuitry are connected to the received clock signal in parallel.

Improved electrical connections to a probe head are provided by making electrical connections to a flexible circuit connected to the probes. Preferably these connections are solderless and made with a single ganged unit. Many advantages result compared to conventional approaches of making soldered connections to a flexible circuit, or coupling the flexible circuit to a printed circuit board (PCB) and making the connections from the PCB using semi-rigid coaxial cables.
