What is the current source for in the schmitt trigger? I can't understand this. Can't see any resistor either.

This appears to be a misuse of the symbol for a current source. Obviously, it should be a voltage source (which sets the comparison threshold), but whoever made the diagram (engineers, marketing, etc.) was too lazy or stupid to use the correct symbol.
