摘要： A method of correcting drift in a sensor includes the step of identifying a calibration command. A nominal zero pressure sensor drift correction factor for the sensor is identified by relying upon a calibration voltage value and a calibration temperature value secured at a nominal zero pressure condition. Sensor output is subsequently adjusted according to the nominal zero pressure sensor drift correction factor.

摘要： A system and method are provided to monitor, store and communicate data on parameters of a consumable product stored in a sealed container. In one embodiment, the method includes hermetically sealing the product in the container, and packaging the container for sale to a consumer. Packaging includes attaching a system to the container to monitor and store in the memory data on parameters of the consumable product. Attaching the system includes affixing a flexible substrate including a laser-detector pair directly to an outer surface of the container. The laser-detector pair is configured to pass laser light through the container to reflect from a reflector affixed to the outer surface of the container opposite the laser-detector pair to non-invasively sense parameters of the consumable product. The method further includes providing an interrogator to the consumer to communicate with the system to access the data.

摘要： Sensors for measuring angular acceleration about three mutually orthogonal axes, X, Y, Z or about the combination of these axes are disclosed. The sensor comprises a sensor subassembly. The sensor subassembly further comprises a base which is substantially parallel to the X-Y sensing plane; a proof mass disposed in the X-Y sensing plane and constrained to rotate substantially about the X, and/or Y, and/or Z, by at least one linkage and is responsive to angular accelerations about the X, and/or Y, and/or Z directions. Finally, the sensor includes at least one electrode at the base plate or perpendicular to the base plate and at least one transducer for each sensing direction of the sensor subassembly responsive to the angular acceleration. Multi-axis detection is enabled by adjusting a configuration of flexures and electrodes.

The system further includes a flexible label affixed directly to the outer surface of a body of the container, the label including a second laser-detector pair to pass laser light through a liquid inside the container to non-invasively sense second parameters of the consumable product. The system generally further includes an interrogator to communicate with the flexible wrap and flexible label to access the data.

摘要： An improved ESD protection device, integrated circuit and method for programmably altering a sensitivity of the ESD protection device is provided herein. More specifically, an active shunt ESD protection device is provided with an improved trigger circuit design. The improved trigger circuit design enables the sensitivity of the ESD protection device to be altered by providing a variety of programmable elements for adjusting an RC time constant of a slew rate detector contained therein. The programmable elements allow the RC time constant to be altered at the wafer or package level, and avoid the significant time and cost typically associated with conventional trial-and-error adjustment procedures.

摘要： An oscillator circuit is provided having an oscillating amplifier circuit connected to a resonator. The oscillator/amplifier and resonator are preferably fabricated on a single die using semiconductor fabrication tools. Included with the circuitry is a temperature sensor or transducer, an execution unit, non-volatile memory, a modulator, and frequency synthesizer, all of which are integrated together on the substrate, along with the piezoelectric crystal resonator. The frequency synthesizer can preferably include a phase-locked loop with a divider that is in a feedback loop of the phase-locked loop, in which a divide-by value is received from a modulator that achieves finer and higher resolution frequency selectivity from the voltage-controlled oscillator, also within the phase-locked loop, as an output from the crystal oscillator.
