摘要:
An apparatus for detecting position of blank areas for an optical disc in an optical disc drive according to a wobble signal and a blank signal includes an address decoder for generating a physical address value according to the wobble signal; a counting device coupled to the address decoder for generating a count value according to the wobble signal; and a decision circuit coupled to the counting device for determining whether the count value is within a predetermined range when the edge of the blank signal occurs. If the count value is within the predetermined range when the blank edge occurs, the decision circuit generates a position value corresponding to a blank area of the optical disc.

A BOC signal acquisition and tracking apparatus and method. In the present invention, at least a BOC signal, a BOC-cos signal and a PRN coded signal are generated for a received signal. Depending on application condition (e.g. acquisition mode or tracking mode), autocorrelation of the BOC signal is combined with cross-correlation of the BOC signal and one of the BOC-cos signal and the PRN coded signal to generate a proper combined correlation result.
摘要:
A linear/non-linear adaptive filter for transforming an input signal to an output signal. The present invention also includes a novel GSPT LMS algorithm for significantly reducing complexity. The adaptive filter includes a coefficient updater that can execute a Carry-in operation or a Borrow-in operation to adaptively adjust a filtering coefficient according to whether an updating term signal is a Carry-in signal or a Borrow-in signal.

An ear thermometer has a main body and a probe projected from the main body. The ear thermometer has a casing, a sensor module and a tube. The casing has an opening formed in a front side thereof. The sensor module is installed inside the casing, and has a diameter of between 3.2 mm and 5.6 mm. The tube is installed between the casing and the sensor module for positioning the sensor module inside the casing. The diameter of the probe is reduced for insertion into an external ear canal of a human, and especially that of a baby, to measure true temperature.
摘要:
A method utilized for detecting a physical mark in a signal read from an optical disc, including: generating a matching signal capable of being utilized to identify the physical mark according to a reference clock and a wobble clock; generating a comparison signal by comparing the matching signal and a wobble data signal; determining whether a period of which the level of the comparison signal surpass a predetermined level within a predetermined period is greater than a threshold or not; and if the period greater than the threshold, generating an indication signal corresponding to the location of the physical mark. Wherein the wobble data signal and the wobble clock is generated according to the read back signal.

Use of reuterin, a naturally occurring β-hydroxypropinoaldehyde, in the manufacture of a biocompatible implant is disclosed, which involves crosslinking an amine-containing biological material such as chitosan, collagen, elastin, gelatin, fibrin glue, and combination thereof with reuterin.
摘要:
A detector for detecting information carried by a signal having a sawtooth-like shape. The detector includes a low-pass filter for receiving the wobble signal and filtering the wobble signal to generate a filtered signal, a comparator for comparing the wobble signal with the filtered signal and generating a compared signal, and a detecting unit for receiving the compared signal and generating a bit signal according to the duty cycle of the compared signal. The bit signal is a first value when the duty cycle of the compared signal is greater than a predetermined value, and the bit signal is a second value when the duty cycle of the compared signal is smaller than the predetermined value.
