Abstract:
A method for generating a feedback signal in optical disc drives is disclosed. Firstly RF signal is generated by a pickup head and coupled to a converter to generate a digital signal. Then a detector generates a plurality of pseudo-jitter according to the digital signal. Thereafter a calculator receives the said pseudo-jitter and calculates for outputting a feedback signal to the pickup head.
Abstract:
A sphygmomanometer cuff assembly, air pump, pressure sensor and release valve are contained in an otherwise conventional apparatus. Alternative embodiments are illustrated and discussed herein. In one such embodiment the sphygmomanometer cuff is nominally positioned within the apparatus structure and is extended outside the apparatus housing during the measurement. In another embodiment, the cuff is always external of the apparatus structure and is easily connected to the apparatus at special ports during the measurement. In yet another embodiment, the cuff is always internal of the apparatus structure and is readily accessible through an aperture in the housing surface of the apparatus to permit the measurement to take place. Preferably, in each of these alternative embodiments a hinged or slidable door or panel protects the cuff or cuff ports between measurements. In all of the embodiments shown herein, the sphygmomanometer cuff is configured for receiving a human finger in circumambient pressured engagement using controlled air pressure to vary the cuff/finger engagement pressure in a precise manner. The apparatus may be any known system that provides a housing that is sufficiently large, a microprocessor for operating on cuff-derived data and a display for presenting blood pressure results in readable form. A typical apparatus for use herein may be for example, a video game controller, a kitchen appliance, an exercise machine, an office machine or a vehicle dashboard.

Abstract:
A method of tracking error correction, primarily for utilization in optical disc drives using single beam optical pick-up heads. Delinearization in the tracking servo of a single beam optical pick-up head, contributed to by inherent design properties, is minimized by extracting a value proportional to a tracking error signal offset component from a tracking servo demand signal, applying a scaling factor to match the scaling applied to the tracking servo demand signal with scaling applied to the amplified tracking error signal, and subtracting the product of this function from the source signal i.e. the tracking error signal. The modified source signal, following this operation, has a reduced order of tracking error offset.

Provided is dual-band inverted-F antenna for GSM, DCS, and PCS bands comprising a primary radiating member including integral first and second metallic strips, a feeding point, and a first shorting point wherein a long current path is created in the first strip such that the antenna can operate in a first low frequency operating mode, and a shorting current path is created in the second strip such that the antenna can operate in a second high frequency operating mode; a secondary radiating member comprising a second shorting point; a branch line shorting strip having one grounded end and a bifurcation including a first branch connected to the first shorting point and a second branch connected to the second shorting point; and a feeding member interconnected the feeding point and a signal source. Operating frequencies of the antenna are 90 MHz and 300 MHz respectively when it operates in 3.5:1 VSWR impedance bandwidth.

An inverted-F antenna comprises a microwave plate, a dielectric substrate, a radiating metal sheet, a ground surface, a shorting metal strip, and a feeding metal strip. The radiating metal sheet comprises a connecting metal sheet, first, second, and third child radiating metal sheets, a matching metal sheet, a slot, a shorting point, and a feeding point. The first child radiating metal sheet is for forming a low frequency operating mode. The second child radiating metal sheet is for forming a high frequency operating mode. The third child radiating metal sheet is for adjusting operating frequency and bandwidth of the second operating mode. The slot, the shorting point, and the feeding point are for adjusting impedance matching. The grounding surface is for increasing the operating bandwidth of the low frequency operating mode. The shorting metal sheet and the feeding metal sheet are for grounding the antenna and signal transmission.
Abstract:
A system in accordance with an embodiment of the invention provides Quality of Service (QoS) for Storage Access. Such QoS is partially enabled in one embodiment by the automatic pooling of storage devices and provisioning virtual targets from those pools. QoS is enforced in one embodiment by keeping the bandwidth for each connection within a specified range, and particularly, by controlling the number of allowed concurrent requests from an initiator. Load balancing is also provided in one embodiment, improving response times for requests, further easing the ability to provide QoS.
