Abstract: A high thermal conductivity substrate is formed by making a sintered diamond composite and thereafter modifying the electrical properties of the composite by leaching graphite and other non-diamond materials from the composite and subsequently infusing the leached composite with material having known electrical properties. Alternatively, a diamond composite having high thermal conductivity known electrical properties if prepared and subsequently leached to remove graphite and other materials which interfere with the known electrical properties of the composite material.

Abstract: A method of obtaining health data of a toilet user using one or more sensors is disclosed. One or more sensors are used by a toilet user while the toilet user is using the toilet to take health measurement readings of the user. Dynamic heart stress readings may be obtained and monitored over weeks, months and years. Rolling averages of heart function and heart health may be determined and deviations from the rolling averages may trigger notifications. Other health related measurements and functions such as temperature, respirations, heart rate, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and stethoscope sounds are also recorded and stored for trending and data analysis.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate calibration of the loop bandwidth of a phase-locked loop (PLL). Calibration for the loop bandwidth of a PLL as described herein can be performed by optimizing the loop response of the PLL. Optimization of the loop response of the PLL can be achieved by modifying the value of a feedback counter of the PLL to induce a loop response at the PLL. The loop response of the PLL can be measured and compared to an ideal loop response. Based on this comparison, appropriate adjustments can be made to the PLL. Further, various techniques described herein facilitate calibration of a PLL by adjusting only parameters of a charge pump of the PLL without requiring individual control mechanisms for each element of the PLL, thereby improving PLL performance and manufacturing yield.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate mitigating ringing effects of a voltage-controlled oscillator upon turning on a transmitter. A receiver generates at least one frequency offset estimate subsequent to an antecedent frequency offset estimate that is potentially erroneous due to ringing effects. The receiver extrapolates a phase error on upcoming symbols based upon a delta between the subsequent and antecedent frequency offset estimates. The phase error is employed to correct the upcoming symbol for ringing effects. In addition, the transmitter can detect a packet in advance of being ready for transmission and power up upon detection to allow the ringing to settle.

Abstract: A system for transmitting data through a string of downhole components. In one aspect, the system includes first and second magnetically conductive, electrically insulating elements at both ends of the component. Each element includes a first U-shaped trough with a bottom, first and second sides and an opening between the two sides. Electrically conducting coils are located in each trough. An electrical conductor connects the coils in each component. In operation, a varying current applied to a first coil in one component generates a varying magnetic field in the first magnetically conductive, electrically insulating element, which varying magnetic field is conducted to and thereby produces a varying magnetic field in the second magnetically conductive, electrically insulating element of a connected component, which magnetic field thereby generates a varying electrical current in the second coil in the connected component.
