    Abstract: A flow meter ultrasonically measures fluid velocity in a pipe and ultrasonically transmits fluid flow data along the pipe. An ultrasonic transducer used for fluid velocity measurement may optionally also be used for communication of flow data, and optionally, the ultrasonic frequency for fluid velocity measurement may be the same as the ultrasonic frequency for communication of flow data.

    Abstract: A method of calculating a time difference is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first ultrasonic signal (r21) having a first frequency from a first transducer (UT2) at a first time and receiving a second ultrasonic signal (r12) having the first frequency from a second ultrasonic transducer (UT2) at a second time. The first ultrasonic signal and the second ultrasonic signal are sampled at a second frequency (302). The first sampled ultrasonic frequency is interpolated (306). The difference in travel time between the first and second ultrasonic signals is calculated in response to the interpolated first sampled ultrasonic signal and the sampled second ultrasonic signal (equation [43]).

    Abstract: A touch screen system includes a capacitive touch screen (1) including a plurality of row conductors (7-1, 2 . . . n) and a column conductor (5-1). A plurality of cotemporaneous orthogonal excitation signals (S1(t), S2 (t) . . . Sn(t)) are simultaneously driven onto the row conductors, respectively. The capacitively coupled signals on the column conductor may be influenced by a touch (10) on the capacitive touch screen. Receiver circuitry (50) includes a sense amplifier (21-1) coupled to generate an amplifier output signal (r1(t)) in response to signals capacitively coupled onto the column conductor. WHT-based circuitry (35) determines amounts of signal contribution capacitively coupled by each of the excitation signals, respectively, to the amplifier output signal.

    Abstract: A method for dithering radar frames includes determining at least one of a chirp period Tc for radar chirps in a radar frame and a chirp slope S for radar chirps in the radar frame. In response to determining the chirp period Tc, a maximum chirp dither Δc(max) is determined, and for the radar frame N, a random chirp dither Δc(N) between negative Δc(max) and positive Δc(max) is determined. In response to determining the chirp slope S, a maximum slope dither Ψ(max) is determined, and for the radar frame N, a random slope dither Ψ(N) between negative Ψ(max) and positive Ψ(max) is determined. A radar sensor circuit generates radar chirps in the radar frame N based on the at least one of (1) the chirp period Tc and the random chirp dither Δc(N) and (2) the chirp slope S and the random slope dither Ψ(N).

    Abstract: An ultrasound detect circuit includes a decimator that decimates a transmit signal to be transmitted through an ultrasonic transducer. The transmit signal is decimated to generate first and second template signals. The decimator uses a different decimation ratio to generate the first template signal than the second template signal. The circuit also includes a first correlator to correlate a signal derived from the ultrasonic transducer with the first template signal, aa second correlator to correlate the signal derived from the ultrasonic transducer with the second template signal, and a Doppler shift determination circuit to determine a Doppler frequency shift based on an output from the first correlator and an output from the second correlator.

    Abstract: Disclosed examples include methods and systems to measure fluid flow, including a transmit circuit to provide a transducer transmit signal based on a transmit pulse signal, a receive circuit to receive a transducer receive signal, an ADC to sample a receive signal from the receive circuit and provide a sampled signal, and a processing circuit that computes a transit time based on the sampled signal, and provides the transmit pulse signal including a first portion with a frequency in a first frequency band, and a second portion with a second frequency outside the first frequency band to mitigate undesired transducer vibration, where the second frequency is outside a transducer frequency bandwidth of the transducer.
