A grip element having a soft, compressible and deformable outer layer supported by an underlying support structure sufficiently rigid to maintain a receiving channel of the grip element in an open configuration. The support structure facilitates manipulation of the grip element and assembly of the grip element onto a hand-held article without having the outer layer collapse on itself as would occur without the support structure as a result of the soft, deformable nature of the outer layer. The grip element may be formed separately from the hand-held article on which it is to be assembled, and then positioned thereon such that the hand-held article is sold with the grip element pre-assembled thereon. If desired, the grip element may be provided separate from the hand-held article, the outer layer providing a readily compressible and deformable soft cushioning surface and the support structure facilitating insertion of the outer layer over at least a portion of a hand-held article. The outer layer and support structure may be co-molded such that the materials thereof are permanently and directly bonded together. If desired, a pattern may be formed on the outer layer, such as grooves, dimples, ribs, bumps, a lattice pattern, or a honeycomb pattern.

Grip element and method of manufacture thereof

A communication receiver (100) employs a discrete time digital phase locked loop (142) for maintaining a generated signal (144) locked to a reference signal (136). The discrete time digital phase locked loop (142) includes a phase detector (202), an accumulator (219), an adder (227), and a controlled oscillator (232). The accumulator (219) is connected to the phase detector (202) and a reference signal (136) for calculating an accumulator output value equal to a first sum of a current sample generated by the phase detector (202), and all of the plurality of discrete phase error samples produced prior to the current sample. The adder (227) is connected to the phase detector (202) and the accumulator (219) for forming a second sum of the current sample and the accumulator output value. The controlled oscillator (232) receives the second sum, which is utilized for controlling the controlled oscillator (232).
