Abstract:
A biosignal interface apparatus includes a sensor configured to detect a target in contact with the sensor, a position identifier configured to identify a position of the sensor on the target, and a controller configured to control an operation mode of the sensor based on the identified position.
Abstract:
A method of selecting an interface by a hub, includes searching for a device of the hub, and measuring a distance from the hub to the device based on information of an available interface of the device that is received from the device. The method further includes setting an optimal interface to communicate with the device, based on the distance, and transmitting data to the device through the optimal interface.
Abstract:
A data reception apparatus configured to discharge, prior to receiving data from an energy receiving apparatus, energy stored in a source resonator during a mutual resonance between the source resonator and a target resonator, and demodulate data received from the energy receiving apparatus based on an amount of energy reflected from the target resonator after the energy stored in the source resonator is discharged.
Abstract:
A wireless energy transmission apparatus wirelessly transmits energy through resonance between a source resonator and a target resonator. The apparatus scans an amount of energy stored in the source resonator for a scanning period, calculates a total amount of energy stored in the source resonator and the target resonator during an off-resonant interval between the source resonator and the target resonator based on the amount of energy scanned, and estimates an amount of energy induced in the target resonator based on the amount of energy stored in the source resonator and the total amount of energy calculated.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting an envelope using a difference between sampling signals are provided. The method includes generating sampling sets based on sampling signals of a modulated signal, and determining a sampling set from the sampling sets. The method further includes determining an envelope component value associated with a sampling signal among sampling signals included in the determined sampling set, based on a difference between the sampling signals included in the determined sampling set, and a difference between sampling signals included in each of the sampling sets other than the determined sampling set. The method further includes detecting an envelope of the modulated signal based on the envelope component value.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus to adaptively set a threshold for signal demodulation. The apparatus and the method include adaptively setting a threshold to demodulate a currently received symbol based on the demodulation value of a previously received symbol based on a comparison value. The comparison value is obtained by comparing a number of previously received symbols having a demodulation value of “0” and a number of currently received symbols having a demodulation value of “1”.
