Error compensation for multi-touch surfaces

Normalization of the built-in DC offset error in each analog channel is disclosed to reduce image distortion in multi-event (multi-touch or multi-hover) sensor panels. By eliminating the component-dependent offset error from each analog channel, each analog channel will generate approximately the same output value for a given dynamic input signal. Normalization can include “phantom row” compensation, which involves measuring the static output value of each analog channel when no stimulus is applied to any row of a multi-event sensor panel, and subtracting this value out of any subsequent output value generated by the analog channel. Normalization can also include DAC offset compensation, which involves setting the offset compensation voltage of each analog channel to some fraction of its normal value, measuring the output of the analog channel over temperature, determining a temperature coefficient, and adjusting any subsequent output value generated by the analog channel to account for this drift.

Microseism focus positioning method based on double-difference method

The invention provides a microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method, and belongs to the field of geophysical prospecting of petroleum. The microseism focus positioning method selects a perforation event as the main event, and picks the observation travel time for a microseism event, and can determine the relative distance between the perforation and the microseism event by calculating the residual error (double difference) between the observation travel time of the perforation and the microseism event and the theoretically calculated travel time difference. The microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method is high in operation speed and efficiency, and is easy for local convergence. As the microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method has the relative main event, the relative positioning accuracy is higher and the microseism focus positioning method is not limited by the spacial scale. The microseism focus positioning method based on a double-difference method offsets the error caused by changes of the speed of the near surface and the stratum speed, and can improve the positioning accuracy.

A current signal corresponding to the amount of incident light detected by a photoelectric conversion device 13 is inputted to and integrated by an integrator circuit 30, whereby a voltage signal is outputted from the integrator circuit 30. When a switch 40 is closed, the voltage signal outputted from the integrator circuit 30 is inputted to a capacitor 51 of a variable capacity integrator circuit 50, a change of the voltage signal is inputted to an amplifier 52, and an electric charge corresponding to the change of voltage signal and the capacity value of a variable capacity part 53 flows into the variable capacity part 53. The capacity value of the variable capacity part 53 is controlled by a comparator 60 and a capacity control section 70 such that the value of integrated signal outputted from the variable capacity integrator circuit 50 coincide with a reference value. The capacity control section 70 outputs a first digital signal corresponding to the capacity value of the variable capacity part 53. As a consequence, a solid-state imaging device which is excellent in S / N ratio, yields no offset errors even when its amplifier have offset fluctuations, and has a small circuit scale is obtained.

A device for fast transition from preamble synchronization of a received baseband signal to demodulation of the received baseband signal may include a baseband chip tracking loop to generate an offset tracking value to track any initial chip phase offset and Doppler-caused baseband chip frequency drift associated with the received baseband signal. The device may also include a numerical controlled oscillator to correct any Doppler-caused phase rotation associated with the received signal. The device may additionally include a preamble synchronization unit to detect a preamble of the received baseband signal, and to measure a chip phase offset and a baseband Doppler frequency shift associated with the received baseband signal. The chip phase offset may be used to set an initial chip phase offset value of the chip tracking loop so that the chip tracking loop starts with approximately a zero pull-in error. The baseband Doppler frequency shift may be used to set initial frequency offset values in the chip tracking loop and the numerical controlled oscillator so that both start with substantially near-zero offset errors for substantially immediate demodulation of the received signal. The device may further include an output device to output the data demodulated from the received baseband signal.

Fuzzy clustering analysis-based power distribution network fault line selection method

The present invention relates to a fuzzy clustering analysis-based power distribution network fault line selection method. According to the method, the ratio of the variation quantity of the active component of the zero-sequence current of each outgoing line of a power distribution network to the total variation quantity of the active component of the zero-sequence current of the outgoing lines of the power distribution network is calculated; the simulation model of the actual operation of the power distribution network is constructed; and a fault line is determined through using a clustering analysis method. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs on the arc suppression coil grounding system of a neutral point, fault characteristics are not obvious; the grounding mode of the neutral point in the power distribution network is changed, fault signals are amplified, and therefore, line selection accuracy can be improved; a bus-bar potential transformer PT and a current transformer CT are adopted to measure the zero-sequence voltage of a bus-bar and the zero-sequence current of the outgoing lines before and after a resistor is switched; the variation quantity of the active component of the zero-sequence current of each outgoing line of lines is monitored; errors brought by measurement devices such as the current transformer CT of the line can be offset; and high anti-interference performance can be realized.

Analog demultiplexer

The analog demultiplexer (FIG. 6) includes an input amplifier (A1), and output amplifiers (AMP1-AMPN). The output and inverting (−) input of amplifiers (AMP1-AMPN) are connected by a respective capacitor (C1-CN). Switches (S1a, S1b, etc.) connect the output of amplifier (A1) to the inverting input of one of (AMP1-AMPN). Switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) connect the output of one of (AMP1-AMPN) to the non-inverting input of the amplifier A1. Switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) and (S1a, S1b, etc.) open and close together in pairs. With feedback from the output of (AMP1-AMPN) through (A1), the gain and any offset of (AMP1-AMPN) is divided down by the gain of (A1). Amplifier (A1) has capacitors (CS1 and CS2) connected to its inputs. Switch (S50) connects the inverting input of amplifier (A1) to its output, and switch (S40) connects the non-inverting input of (A1) to a voltage reference (VREF) matching (VREF) applied to (AMP2). Switches (S30) and (S35) connect (CS1) and (CS2) to the demultiplexer input (2). In operation, switches (S40, S50, S30 and S35) are initially closed, while switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) are open to charge both capacitors (CS1) and (CS2) and the inputs and output of (A1) to (VREF). Switch (S50) provides feedback to divide down gain errors and offset of (A1). Switches (S30, S35, S40 and S50) are then open, while one of switches (S2a, S2b, etc.) is closed with one switch (S1a, S1b, etc) to drive one of the output voltages (VOUT1-VOUTN). With inputs and outputs of (A1) and the connected (AMP1-AMPN) initially be at (VREF), very little settling time is needed.
