20120212199	Low Drop Out Voltage Regulator - A low dropout voltage regulator (LDO) is presented that takes into consideration short channel effects of the pass transistor in suppressing ripples that are present at the input node of the LDO from appearing at the output node of the LDO. A sum of the input ripple voltage and the input ripple voltage multiplied by a gain equal to the reciprocal of the intrinsic gain provided by the pass transistor is fed to the gate of the pass transistor. In one embodiment an adaptive stage is utilized to provide the sum to the gate of the pass transistor. The adaptive stage gain adapts to change changing load currents such that the gate voltage is maintained substantially equal to the sum. In another embodiment, the LDO is provided stability by using only on-chip capacitors. The LDO provides stable operation even at small load currents.	08-23-2012

20120106046	CARRIER, HOST, AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING THE HOST - A carrier includes main body, a conductive elastic element, and a handle. The main body is adapted to carrying an electronic device and has a cavity. The conductive elastic element is disposed in the cavity. The handle is pivotally coupled to the main body. When the handle locks the main body to be located in a lock position, the handle exerts force on the conductive elastic element such that the conductive elastic element protrudes outside the main body through the cavity. When the handle does not lock the main body and exert force on the conductive elastic element to be located at a release position, the conductive elastic element is located inside the main body where it does not interfere with an outside device. This allows convenient insertion and removal of the carrier relative to a cage. Accordingly, the conductive elastic element is not damaged easily.	05-03-2012
