Abstract:
A biphase mark signal receiver includes a data and clock recovery circuit. The data recovery circuit may include a coarse recovery stage and a fine recovery stage. The coarse recovery stage is configured to detect repeating occurrences of a first preamble (e.g., Y-preamble) within a biphase encoded data stream received by the data recovery circuit. The fine recovery stage is configured to generate a recovered data stream, in response to estimating a plurality of timing decision points (e.g., 3UI, 2UI and 1UI) from the repeating occurrences of the first preamble detected by the coarse recovery stage.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting audio data across a digital interface is provided. The method includes receiving audio data, organized as a plurality of audio samples. At least one of the plurality of audio samples may be placed into a data packet. The data packet may be transmitted during a valid transmission interval if the data packet is full or during a valid transmission interval in response to receiving a packet send event.

Abstract:
A diagnostic ultrasound apparatus is disclosed comprising a base board, an ultrasonic front-end analog circuit, a digital processing circuit connected with the ultrasonic front-end analog circuit, and a power module for providing electric power to the ultrasonic front-end analog circuit and the digital processing circuit. The ultrasonic front-end analog circuit is implemented with a modular design, the digital processing circuit and the power module being located at one half-region of the base board, and the ultrasonic front-end analog circuit being located at the other half-region of the base board. The ultrasonic front-end analog circuit is provided far away from the power module and the digital processing circuit such that interference from the power supply and digital circuits is prevented.

Abstract:
An ultrasonic instrument includes a socket and a front-end system, wherein the socket is provided with at least two probe model identification pins and a plurality of functional signal pins. The front-end system comprises a decoding module, a switch selection module, and a probe driving control module. The decoding module has its input terminals electrically connected to the probe model identification pins of the socket, and has its output terminal coupled to the control terminal of the switch selection module. The input terminals of the switch selection module are electrically connected to the functional signal pins of the socket respectively, and in response to a probe identification signal outputted from the decoding module to the control terminal, the switch selection module establishes connection between its input terminals and a group of output terminals corresponding to the probe identification signal. The probe driving control module is electrically connected to the output terminals of the switch selection module.
