    摘要: Methods and apparatuses to perform calibration of imprecise sensors for power monitoring in a data-processing system are described. The system includes a load coupled to one or more sensors. An electronic load changes a first input signal through one or more sensors by a predetermined amount. A difference in an output signal from the one or more sensors in response to the changing is obtained. The output signal is measured and sampled. A distribution of samples of the output signal is determined. The estimated parameters of the distribution that most likely to explain actual data are determined. Next, a transfer function of the one or more sensors is determined based on the estimated parameters. The input signal through the load is accurately predicted using the transfer function of the one or more sensors to monitor the power usage by the load.

    摘要: Electronic devices such as portable electronic devices contain electronic components. The electronic components may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry. The radio-frequency transceiver circuitry may be used for handling data communications and cellular telephone voice communications. One or more adjustable clock sources may be provided within the electronic device. The adjustable clock sources may be based on phase-locked-loop circuits. A clock manager may determine which frequencies are being used by the radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and other components in the electronic device. The clock manager may use this information to compute a list of safe fundamental clock signal frequencies. Based on the list of safe clock signal frequencies, the clock manager may dynamically adjust the clock sources to avoid collisions between harmonics of the clock signals from the clock sources and the frequencies used by the transceiver circuitry and other components.

    摘要: A comb light source and spectrometer is disclosed. The comb light source and spectrometer can include a plurality of light emitters, where each light emitter can be configured to emit light included in a plurality of wavelength bands. Each wavelength band can be separated from an adjacent wavelength band by a noise band. Due to the separated wavelength bands for a light emitter, any signal received outside of the one or more wavelength bands can originate from noise (e.g., drift, ambient light, electrical noise), thereby enhancing signal analysis and noise rejection. In some examples, the comb light emitters can be activated sequentially such that a plurality of wavelengths across a spectrum can be measured. In some examples, the resolution and the number of spectral lines in the comb light source can be tuned by changing the properties of the quantum dots and/or increasing the number of comb light emitters.

    摘要: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages use of a battery in a portable electronic device. The system includes a monitoring mechanism that monitors one or more battery-usage parameters of the battery during use of the battery with the portable electronic device. The battery-usage parameters may include a battery age, a resting time, a swell rate, a temperature, a cell balance, a voltage, a current, usage data about how the battery has been cycled, and/or user input. The system also includes a management apparatus that adjusts a charge-termination voltage or a discharge-termination voltage of the battery based on the battery-usage parameters to manage a cycle life of the battery, the swell rate, and/or a runtime of the battery.
