    摘要: A portable monitoring system for recognizing wheeze in lung sounds can detect the occurrence of wheeze from the neck of an asthmatic. The portable monitoring system comprises an acoustic sensor, a signal processor and a wireless signal transmission module, a remote analyzer and an alarm generator. The acoustic sensor is placed next to the windpipe of the asthmatic to collect the acoustic signals when he breathes. The signal processor and remote analyzer analyze the acoustic signals to recognize whether the wheeze, in the form of specified signals, exists. If the wheeze is found, the wireless signal transmission module or the remote analyzer directly instructs the alarm generator to generate an alarm so as to notify someone to give medical treatment to the asthmatic.

    摘要: A physical layer transceiver of a home network station connected to a telephone medium has an architecture enabling adaptation of detection circuitry based on received network signals to enable reliable recovery of data signals. The physical layer transceiver includes an input amplifier that amplifies network signals according to one of 128 gain settings set by a receiver gain control signal. A signal conditioning circuit includes an envelope detector configured for outputting an envelope of the amplified received signal, and an energy detector configured for outputting an energy signal of the amplified received signals. The envelope signal and the energy signal are supplied to slicer threshold circuits, configured for outputting noise, peak, data event and energy event signals based on noise threshold, peak threshold, data transition threshold, and energy threshold signals, respectively. A digital controller controls the input amplifier gain and the threshold values, and adjusts the gain and threshold values based on the noise event signal and the peak event signal within an access ID (AID) interval. Hence, the receiver can be optimized on a per-packet basis for receiving network signals by adjusting the receiver portion during the AID preamble phase of the data packet. Gain control may also be used by the digital controller on the transmitter portion to selectively adjust the output gain for optimizing transmission to a destination home network station.

    摘要: In the present invention a semiconductor integrated circuit is described to perform signal detection in a data communication system. The circuit is configured such that the capacitors used in high pass filter and a low pass filter are CMOS capacitors. The capacitors are formed from transistors where the gate is one terminal of the capacitor and the source and drain connected together form the second terminal of the capacitor. The source and drain that are connected together are connected to a voltage bias in the circuit which prevents the capacitors from being in a “floating” circuit configuration. The signal detection is done in one stage where a high pass filter is in the source of the input transistors and a low pass filter is in the drain of the input transistors. A comparator connects to the drain circuitry of the input transistors which supplies and offset voltage to the comparator. The input signal must be of a specific frequency to be conducted through the filters and of specific amplitude to overcome the offset. The simplicity requires far few devices than previous signal detectors and facilitates the ability to handle high frequency signals.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of compensating for a boil-off condition in a flexible fuel compensation control system for a flexible fueled vehicle with a PCV solenoid. The methodology determines both the presence and extent of boil-off corruption and handles closed loop controls normally as if no boil-off corruption exists. The methodology also determines the amount of boil-off corruption being introduced through the PCV system and updates the flexible fueled vehicle fueling during a blend change between ethanol and gasoline. Additionally, the methodology determines when boil-off corruption is no longer influencing closed loop fuel control.

    摘要: An improved decoder for recovering Non-Return-to-Zero Interface (NRZI) digital data from a multiple layer transition (MLT-3) encoded signal in a 100BASE-TX Ethernet (IEEE Standard 802.3u) uses multiple comparators to minimize jitter in the decoded signal. A CMOS-based biasing circuit receives the differential MLT-3 encoded input signals and control signals from a signal amplitude detection circuit. The biasing circuit adjusts for any DC offset, and also generates offset signals based on respective mid-peak voltage values of the respective differential input signals. Four comparators are then used to detect a prescribed edge transition (e.g., a positive edge) coinciding with the respective mid-peak voltage value in the respective signals. The detected edge transitions are then used by edge decoding logic to generate the NRZI bilevel signal.

    摘要: A system and method for detecting faults in wafer fabrication process tools by acquiring real-time process parameter signal data samples used to model the process performed by the process tool. The system includes a computer system including a DAQ device, which acquires the data samples, and a fault detector program which employs a process model program to analyze the data samples for the purpose of detecting faults. The model uses data samples in a reference database acquired from previous known good runs of the process tool. The fault detector notifies a process tool operator of any faults which occur thus potentially avoiding wafer scrap and potentially improving mean time between failures. The fault detector also receives notification of the occurrence of process events from the process tool, such as the start or end of processing a wafer, which the fault detector uses to start and stop the data acquisition, respectively. The fault detector also receives notification of the occurrence of a new process recipe and uses the recipe information to select the appropriate model for modeling the data samples. The fault detector employs a standard data exchange interface, such as DDE, between the fault detector and the model, thus facilitating modular selection of models best suited to the particular fabrication process being modeled. Embodiments are contemplated which use a UPM model, a PCA model, or a neural network model.
