Current modulator with dynamic amplifier impedance compensation

An amplitude modulation circuit (modulator) provides modulated supply current, possibly in combination with modulated supply voltage, to a radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA), and includes a detection circuit responsive to changes in the ratio of that voltage to the modulated supply current, described herein as its AM modulation impedance. Such impedance (resistance) changes commonly arise from changing coupling characteristics at the RF antenna assembly driven by the PA. A gain control circuit may be associated with the detection circuit, and made responsive thereto, thus allowing adjustment of modulation gain control responsive to changes in PA AM modulation impedance. In one embodiment, this arrangement permits the modulator to hold a fixed modulation gain over changing PA AM modulation impedance, while in other embodiments, modulation gain varies in response to PA impedance changes to avoid signal clipping. Such clipping might otherwise occur where current modulation values in combination with increased PA resistance would result in PA voltages exceeding the supply voltage of the PA.

Robot cleaner and operating method thereof

A robot cleaner comprises a suction unit installed within a cleaner body, for sucking dirt on a floor; a driving unit for moving the cleaner body; a wheel installed at a bottom of the cleaner body to be contacted with the floor, and rotated by movement of the cleaner body; a detecting unit for detecting whether the wheel is rotated; and a control unit for controlling the driving unit in response to signal from the detecting unit. Accordingly, the robot cleaner can smoothly and continuously carry out a cleaning operation, even when the robot cleaner is abnormally stopped due to an obstacle which is not previously recognized in traveling.

Sensor system for measuring and monitoring indoor air quality

An apparatus for accurately sensing room conditions and positioned in the air stream to the return air plenum. The apparatus is a combination of a temperature and volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor. The sensor module is built into a ceiling grid system with the body of the sensor module extending into the return air plenum. The ceiling grid has a slot fabricated into its face which allows the air stream from the room to flow by the sensors on its way to the plenum. This enables both the temperature and the composition of the air to be monitored at the optimal location. A portable pollution sensor device that measures and monitors leading indicators of indoor air quality and the extent of pollution is used in conjunction with the ceiling grid mounted sensor modules. The portable device documents and benchmarks air quality both in buildings under construction and in existing buildings. The portable device is network-enabled so as to simultaneously transmit the data to various control devices. In addition to its use to monitor areas not otherwise covered by the ceiling grid mounted sensors, the hand-held sensor can be used during building construction to determine the best locations in the ceiling grid system for mounting of the fixed pollution sensors.

Digitally controlled voltage regulator

Disclosed is a digitally controlled multi-phase voltage regulator system providing regulated power to electronic components that have variable power requirements. Power is supplied by one or more power integrated circuits (IC) each having a high side power switch controlled by pulse width modulated signals and a low side power switch. The power IC senses voltage at the load and has an on-chip current mirror for generating a current that is a ratio of current delivered to the load. The power IC also has current limiting and on-chip temperature sensing components. The voltage and current information is digitized and provided to a control integrated circuit (IC). The control IC receives this digitized information as well as user provided parameters and, in the regulation mode of operation, provides digitized pulse width modulated control signals to the power IC. In an active transient response mode of operation, the control IC provides signals to turn either the high side switches or low side switches ON. Fault detection circuitry identifies over voltage, under voltage, and excessive temperatures. All communications between the control IC and the power IC are digital providing high bandwidth, optimal control frequency response, noise immunity and efficient active transient response.

Low noise amplifier for electro-physiological signal sensing

A reliable, safe, accurate, low noise, inexpensive, portable amplifier circuit is adapted to accurately amplify both AC and DC neural response signals. A patient or subject is electrically connected to a multi-channel system for electrically measuring the patient's AC and DC neural response signals at a plurality of locations using electrodes connected through a multi-electrode cable. The neural response signals are input to a digital DC amplifier to filter, amplify and digitize the neural response signals. Digitized neural response signals are converted to optical signals and transmitted via a fiber optic cable to an interface that is preferably connected to a patient stimulus generator (e.g., a Ganzfeld stimulator or pattern stimulator for multi-focal ERG). The system also includes a stand-alone computer such as an IBM® compatible Personal Computer (PC) for two-way communication with the interface via a standard data interface cable (e.g., a USB cable). In the preferred embodiment, a digital DC amplifier is worn by the patient and receives each neural response signal at a two-conductor balanced input; a surge suppression circuit limits excessive voltage transients at the input. The neural response signal is next input to a balanced buffer amplifier stage for impedance matching and the buffered neural response signal is then input to a balanced, adjustable pre-amplifier stage having an adjustable gain which can be varied (e.g., from ×1 to ×64). The buffered, amplified neural response signal is then digitized for storage in a memory and transmission to a fiber-optic digital transmission circuit. An adjustable impedance element generates a DC offset compensation signal used to control a D.C. offset compensation amplifier to generate an offset control signal for input to gain-adjustable pre-amplifier stage, to maximize sensitivity and usable dynamic range.
