 Digital decoding of biphase-mark encoded serial digital signals - Patent 5465268
The blivet signal is filtered by a one-bit digital lowpass filter to recover a decoded clock signal and to generate a transition window signal.
The blivet signal is input to a one-bit digital lowpass filter to recover a low frequency component as a decoded clock signal and to generate a window signal about a midpoint range within each bit interval defined by the decoded clock signal.
The window and blivet signals are used to derive a transition clock signal, and the transition and decoded clock signals produce a decoded serial digital signal by outputting a logical one for each bit interval within which a transition occurs and a logical zero for each bit interval otherwise.

 NRZ clock and data recovery system employing phase lock loop - Patent 5164966
A "blivet" is a pulse indicative of a transition, either low-going or high-going, in the NRZ data.
Internal to the blivet generator 8, the NRZ data is applied to one side of exclusive-OR (XOR) gate 6 and also to two matching delay elements 2 and 4 in series, after which the doubly delayed output of those delay elements is applied to the other side of the XOR gate 6.
The blivet output of the blivet generator is a pulse whose duration is the sum of the delay imposed by the two matching delay elements 2 and 4.

Blivet = Ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag
In traditional U.S. Army slang dating back to the Second World War, a blivet was defined as "ten pounds of manure in a five pound bag," (a proverbial description of anything egregiously ugly or unmanageable); it was applied to an unmanageable situation, a crucial but substandard or damaged tool, or a self-important person.
When referring to political issues that are not what they seem, I have used the word "football", mostly because of how they are passed around.
