摘要:
Apparatus for detecting a single-frequency signal having a predetermined frequency in an analog signal includes means for converting the analog signal to a differentially encoded digital signal and detection means for detecting a single-frequency signal having the predetermined frequency from the differentially encoded digital signal. In a preferred embodiment, the detection means includes: means for detecting one cycle of the analog signal by detecting a signal maximum followed by detecting a signal minimum which is followed, in turn, by detecting another signal maximum; means for determining the length of the cycle, for determining whether the length is within predetermined bounds, and for keeping a count of such occurrences; and means for determining whether the count has reached a predetermined amount, whereby a single-frequency signal having the predetermined frequency has been detected.
摘要:
Techniques for reducing overall information loss and processing costs due to data translation in a network populated with communicating data sources and sinks of multiple data representations is described. By employing an “optimization” technique for negotiating “least cost” data representations to be communicated between data source(s) and sink(s) where the “least cost” can be relative to, for example, fidelity requirements and processing costs of the system or the user of the system.
