    Abstract: An internal ADC in a delta-sigma ADC is characterized using inherent delta-sigma ADC circuitry. In one embodiment, a constant DC value is applied as the input signal. The sum of the constant DC value and a feedback signal is integrated. Then, a digital approximation including the integrated sum is generated. The feedback signal is generated and allows ramping of the integrated sum.

    Abstract: A delta-sigma converter has coarse and fine ADCs, wherein an integrated error signal is coupled to the coarse ADC whose output drives a DAC to create feedback that achieves loop balance. The coarse ADC provides the most significant bits of the result. The integrated error signal is also applied to a fine ADC whose output bits are not incorporated into the feedback, but which are combined with those of the coarse ADC and the combination applied to a filter that averages the hunting that represents loop balance. A DC feed forward circuit shunts the integrator with a replica of the applied input signal to apply it to the coarse ADC through a summer, allowing its output to be just the integrated error signal without including the applied input. If continuous integration is used, an AC feed forward circuit provides a compensatory voltage that is removed from the integrator output (or alternatively, is added to its input) and that corrects for a frequency dependent error.

    Abstract: A detection apparatus is for a computer to detect the presence or absence of a computer user. The absence of a user can trigger a computer display to power down, while the detected presence of a user can trigger the display to power back up, and, optionally, require a log in. The detection apparatus may operate automatically and thus may provide a reliable way of saving power and/or ensuring security of computer data.

    Abstract: Exercise device using rotating hand pedals against a variable resistance for the purpose of exercising the upper-body on an upper-body spinning cycle and incorporating a seating mechanism providing for placement of the operator's body to permit the conditioning of the upper portions of the operator's body including abdominal muscles, hip flexors, back, arms, wrists and hands by pedaling against a resistance to the accompaniment of music or instruction in a class type setting or at home without instruction. The embodiment of the invention allows for adjustment of the resistance to provide both aerobic and anaerobic exercise providing both muscle development and cardio-vascular conditioning. The embodiment of the invention allows the cranks to be rotated in an opposed or reciprocating position similar to conventional bicycles or the cranks can be rotated instantly and freely to be side by side in tandem or any orientation between opposed or tandem. The embodiment of the invention allows the cranks to be pedaled simultaneously or individually with one crank stationary while the other crank is pedaled. The switching of pedaling from one crank individually to two cranks simultaneously can be performed at the direction of the instructor in a class setting.

    Abstract: The method of determining a focus measure from an image includes detecting one or more edges in the image by processing the image with one or more first order edge detection kernels adapted to reject edge phasing effects. A first measure of the strength of each of the edges, and the contrast of each of the edges may be determined. The method may include normalizing the first measure of the strength of each of the edges by the contrast of each of the edges to obtain a second measure of the strength of each of the edges, and resealing the second measure of the strength of each of the edges. The method may also include selecting one or more of the edges from the image in accordance with the second measure of their strengths, and calculating the focus measure from the second measure of the strengths of the selected edges.

    Abstract: Resource constraints for a group of individual application products to be configured for shared resource usage of at least one shared resource within a single operating system instance are analyzed by a resource allocation module. An individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is determined based upon the analyzed resource constraints for the group of individual application products. The determined individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is implemented within the single operating system instance using local inter-product message communication bindings by the single operating system instance.
