摘要:
Wirelessly-linked, distributed resource control (RCS1-RCSn, RCSB, RCC, ARM) supports a wireless communication system (50) for operation in non-exclusive spectrum (24-29). An available resource map (ARM) contains resource availability information gathered by mobile stations (MS1-MSn), and a wired communication channel supports sharing of resource control information among fixed-site stations (BS).

A binocular viewer, a method of measuring and training vision that uses a binocular viewer and a vision measurement and training system that employs a computer to control the binocular viewer. In one embodiment, the binocular viewer has left and right display elements and comprises: (1) a variable focal depth optical subsystem located in an optical path between the display elements and a user when the user uses the binocular viewer and (2) a control input coupled to the left and right display elements and the variable focal depth optical subsystem and configured to receive control signals operable to place images on the left and right display elements and vary a focal depth of the variable focal depth optical subsystem. In another embodiment, the binocular viewer lacks the variable focal depth optical subsystem, but the images include at least one feature unique to one of the left and right display elements.

A motor driver circuit (12) for providing drive signals to stator coils of a polyphase dc motor (10) includes a plurality of current paths, each connected between a supply voltage and a reference potential. Each current path includes two driver transistors (14,20, 16,22, 18,24), a node (A, B, C) of each of the stator coils being connectable between the driver transistors in respective current flow paths. A commutator (26) is connected to operate the driver transistors in a sequence in which drive currents are delivered for application in a predetermined sequence to the stator coils. A plurality of sensing transistors (32) are connected to produce a mirror current which mirrors a mirrored current in an associated driver transistor (20) in a respective current flow path. Circuitry (26) is provided which is responsive to the mirror currents of the sensing transistors to control the amplitudes of the currents in the associated driver transistor in a respective current flow path. At least one trim transistor (51-55) is connected in parallel with a respective one of the sensing transistors (50), and a programmable circuit (48) is connected to selectively activate the at least one trim transistor to adjust the amplitudes of the mirrored currents in the current flow path with which the sensing transistor with which the at least one trim transistor is associated.

A method is provided for accessing data stored in memory (76). First data appearing at outputs (102) of memory (76) are read during a first reading cycle in a sequence of reading cycles, the first data retrieved from a first location in memory (76) corresponding to a first address. At the end of the first reading cycle, the first address is stepped to produce a second address corresponding to a second location in memory (76). During an idle period following the first reading cycle and prior to a second reading cycle occurring next in the sequence of reading cycles, second data is prefetched from the second location in memory (76) such that the second data appears at the bitlines (102) of memory (76) at the start of the second reading cycle.

A sensor 20 is formed on semiconductor substrate 22. Dielectric layers 23 and 24 are formed on the face and backside of substrate 22, respectively. Metal leads 26 and 28 contact the substrate through openings in the dielectric layer 23. The leads 26 and 28 are also connected to the set of interleaved longitudinal contact fingers 27 and 29. Additionally, a pair of backside contacts 30 and 32 are formed on the dielectric layer 24. The backside contact 30 is in contact only with the metal lead 26 through a conductive region 34.

A programmable, electronic filter (10) includes a memory device such as a Read Only Memory ROM (22) for storing specific cut-off frequency adjustment data corresponding to various cut-off frequencies. The ROM (22) receives a ROM address (28) corresponding to a cut-off frequency signal (26). The ROM (22) generates a specific cut-off frequency adjustment value (30) for a digital-to-analog convertor (20) to produce an output reference current (34). A reference voltage (40), an error amplifier (14), a master transconductance element (16), and a capacitor (18) serve as a tuning loop and ultimately produce a control signal (38) in response to the output reference current (34). Control signal (38) serves as an input to slave filter (12) along with the cut-off frequency signal (26). The slave filter (12) may then serve as an electronic filter having the desired frequency-response characteristic. The slave filter (12) may then receive a slave filter input signal (44) and provide a filtered output signal (46) having an accurate frequency-response characteristic at the desired cut-off frequency.

摘要:
A constant capacitance programmable transconductance input stage (36) includes a first transconductance device (50), second transconductance device (52), and first switch (44) for providing a programmable input stage with a constant input capacitance. The first transconductance device (50) has two inputs and the second transconductance device (52) has two inputs. A first positive input (22) couples directly to one input of the first transconductance device (50) while a first negative input (23) couples directly to one input of the second transconductance device (52). The first positive input (22) and the first negative input (23) are switchably coupled to the remaining inputs of first transconductance device (50) and second transconductance device (52). Depending on the configuration of the first switch (44), either both transconductance devices contribute to the overall transconductance of constant capacitance programmable transconductance input stage (36) or neither does. In either event, the input capacitance remains constant.
