    Abstract: A method and device for processing an agricultural product is provided. The device includes a chamber having an opening, and a heater operative to heat the contents of the chamber. A sensor having an output is coupled to the chamber, the sensor output being processed to provide information about at least one of: a state of decarboxylation, or a quantity of a material in the contents of the chamber. The method includes loading a quantity of the agricultural product in a chamber having an port and applying an elevated temperature to the chamber to increase a rate of decarboxylation. A property of a gas is measured at the port the measurement being processed to determine one of either: a state of decarboxylation, or a quantity of material in the sample.

    Abstract: A method and device for monitoring an irrigation system is provided. The device includes a flow sensor and an irrigation controller comprising at least two outputs. The irrigation monitor is coupled to the irrigation controller and the flow sensor and performs an action in response to detecting a fault condition. The method includes steps of measuring flow through an irrigation feed, determining an intended state of an irrigation valve, associating the measured flow with the intended valve state, and detecting a fault condition. In some examples the irrigation monitor and irrigation controller use a single processor.

    Abstract: Phase noise in a first clock signal is measured using a time to digital converter (TDC) by determining variations in the phase delay between the first clock signal and a second clock signal. The TDC can include first and second series interconnections of delay elements, first and second sets of latches, and processing circuitry coupled to the latches and configured to determine the phase delay. The TDC can include a series interconnection of delay elements, latches, and circuitry configured to selectively adjust the control signal connected to the delay elements based on the output of the latches. The phase noise measurement can be used in a sampling circuit, so as to produce a second data signal from a first data signal based on the first clock signal and the measured phase noise.
