Abstract:
A method and information handling system (IHS) converts a globally unique identifier to an electronic data interchange document identifier. The method includes receiving a globally unique identifier and converting the globally unique identifier into 128 binary bits. The 128 binary bits are selectively separated to form groups of bits that translate to integers. Each integer is replaced with an assigned alphanumeric character selected from an alphanumeric character map to form an encoded alphanumeric string of characters for use as an electronic data interchange document identifier.

The present invention relates to a programmable location control encoder, wherein the encoder has a new function of combining a sequential control function to conventional rotary encoders. The present invention comprises: a rotary disk having an absolute location code indicative of each location, that is, an address code formed by a combination of binary numbers; an optical sensor for detecting said binary address code; a signal amplification unit for amplifying an output signal of the optical sensor; and a control circuit board for outputting a digital signal by using a signal outputted from the signal amplification unit. According to the present invention, it is possible to convert a partition angle or a location control code by configuring a software resolution, and to maximize work efficiency by combining a sequential control function to conventional rotary encoders.
Abstract:
A signal processor for removing at least one unintended signal component from an input signal (ua) is proposed. The signal processor includes a filter device (130) and a processing device (150). The filter device (130) filters the input signal (uâ) and generates a filtered signal (uf), which includes the unintended signal component to be removed. The processing device (150) generates an output signal (um), which indicates a deviation of the input signal (ua) from the filtered input signal (uf). By detecting the unintended signal component first an removing this component from the input signal (uâ), the input signal will not be manipulated directly but the unintended signal component in the input signal (uâ) will be compensated. This allows to remove the unintended component from the input signal (uâ) with less distortions of the interesting components in the input signal (uâ).
Abstract:
A dynamic element matching (DEM) scheme is implemented in a crawling code generator for converting a b-bit binary input code into a (2b−1)-bit digital output code. A random generator determines for every conversion step a direction. A decimal difference between the current and previous binary input is calculated. The new crawling output code is determined based on the previous crawling output code, the direction and the decimal difference. The DEM scheme is used in a digital-to-analog converter such that the crawling output code switches digital-to-analog converting elements that output analog signals that are then summed to be the final analog signal.

A receiving device is provided. A pulse width is measured, it is selected whether a determination process is performed for a pulse width having the length of one bit in accordance with the measured value of the pulse width or a pulse width having the length of ½ bit, it is discriminated whether a current pulse edge is a pulse edge at the center of the bit or a pulse edge at the boundary between bits while considering the bit data right before the determined bit, and when it is determined that the current pulse edge is the pulse edge at the center of the bit, the bit data is determined by the rising edge or the falling edge of the pulse edge.
Abstract:
An encoder circuit and a related method for its operation, in which digital encoding, such as differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) encoding, is performed as a parallel operation on N bits at a time. Each encoded bit is both output in parallel with the others of the N bits and is coupled as an input to encode the immediately next bit in the input data stream. The Nth encoded bit is fed back to the first encoder stage for use in encoding the (N+1)th bit in the input stream. The encoder typically includes a serial-to-parallel converter at the encoder inputs, and a parallel-to-serial converter at the encoder outputs.
Abstract:
A scaled input current is produced that substantially matches the full scale input of a CTΔτADC that substantially cancels an offset bias current component of the input current. A variable bias resistance value is coupled between the integrator input and one of a supply voltage and a circuit common. The method further includes integrating the input current to produce an integrated signal representing a time averaged value of the input current to substantially remove noise from a frequency band of interest. The integrated signal is produced to a quantizer to produce a feedback current that substantially cancels a quantization noise component in the digital representation of the scaled analog signal by coupling the digital representation of the scaled analog signal to a programmable digital switch wherein the programmable digital switch either sinks current from or sources current to the integrator input.
Abstract:
A method and circuit for gain and/or offset correction in a CDAC circuit are provided. The gain and/or offset correction can be realized by adjusting the sampling capacitance of a capacitor array, with a positive array of the CDAC circuit being trimmed for gain correction, and a negative array of the CDAC circuit being trimmed for offset correction. Accordingly, corrections to variations in gain and/or offset caused by process variations can be suitably addressed. To facilitate gain correction, an exemplary CDAC circuit comprising an N-bit capacitor array includes on the positive side of the capacitor array an additional capacitor configured to capture the sampling voltage. An exemplary CDAC circuit can also be configured to have one or more capacitors shifted out of the total capacitance of the capacitor array, and thus reduce the amount of charge stored during sampling. To facilitate offset correction, an exemplary CDAC circuit comprises a negative side having a capacitor array, wherein the CDAC circuit is configured to provide a desired amount of offset voltage through sampling of some of the capacitance in the negative side to a reference voltage, and sampling a remainder of the capacitance in the negative side to ground.
