Chobits
"Chobits" was adapted as a 26-episode-long anime television series broadcast on TBS and Animax from April to September 2002. In addition, it has spawned two video games as well as various merchandise such as figurines, collectable cards, calendars, and artbooks.
Baker clamp
The Baker clamp is named after Richard H. Baker, who described it in his 1956 technical report "Maximum Efficiency Transistor Switching Circuits." Baker called the technique "back clamping", but the circuit is now called a Baker clamp. Many sources credit Baker's report for the two-diode clamp circuit.
Also in 1956, Baker described the circuit in a patent application; the 1961 issued patent, US 3,010,031, claims the use of the clamp in symmetrical flip-flop circuits.
