Filter circuit

In a filter circuit of the present invention, a partial quantization value is computed by a quantization circuit according to a spread code and others in a unit at an arbitrary stage, where an integrating value is increased. The partial quantization value is successively added by an adder formed by a counter and is transmitted to a unit of the following stage. In an adder of the following stage, an analog residual is computed by subtracting an analog converted value of the partial quantization value, that is obtained by a D / A converter, from the integrating value so as to suppress an increase in the analog cumulative value. With this arrangement, the cumulative value is increased according to an increase in the number of taps, so that an analog adder can reduce power consumption, which is caused by expansion of a dynamic range at the following stage.

On line automatic detection of the time phase of the threshold voltage of a lighting load and its application in lighting management

ActiveUS20160095187A1Additional time delayEase of overall managementElectrical apparatusElectric light circuit arrangementWorking rangeEngineering
The present disclosure discloses a method based on microcontroller circuit and software codes to on line automatically detect the time phase of the threshold voltage of a lighting load in each AC half-cycle. This automatic detection capability enables a dimmer circuit of a lighting apparatus to establish a dimmer working range from the self-detected time phase of threshold voltage of the lighting load. The lighting apparatus can be operated with different types of lighting loads to perform a full dimming range from 0% to 100% of maximum lighting output. Therefore, the dimmer circuit makes possible both the lighting fixtures and the users refrained from dimming difficulties caused by different types of lighting loads with different threshold voltages. The design concept can be extended to manage illuminations in a two-level security light on a simple software basis without resorting to complex electric circuits.

Clamping assembly with integral rail plate

A two-piece clamping assembly with an integral rail plate used to rapidly and securely mount a float switch within a fluid collection container for fluid level monitoring. It is usable with both metal and plastic condensate collection pans, and successfully accommodates their differing wall thickness dimensions and different upper edge configurations. When its front and back clamping members are joined together over the top edge, lip, or flange of a pan using one centrally located top fastener, and at least one additional fastener is inserted through the back clamping member until it engages the exterior surface of the pan, the pan's upper edge becomes secured within an inverted J-shaped slot formed between the two clamping members. Vertically-extending internal ribs and horizontally-extending projections strengthen the clamping assembly. Preferred plastic materials also make the clamping assembly impervious to corrosion.

Methods and apparatus for correction for 2-3 field patterns

Systems and methods are provided for allowing a user to correct a discontinuous 2-3 field sequence within a disrupted video signal. A 2-3 field pattern fixer can be operated in a one-pass mode and / or a two-pass mode. In the one-pass mode, the disrupted video signal is analyzed to generate correction information, which is used to correct the disrupted video signal as it passes through the 2-3 pattern fixer, resulting in an undisrupted video signal with a continuous 2-3 field sequence. In the two-pass mode, the disrupted video signal is analyzed to generate correction information, which is then stored. This correction information is then used to correct a duplicate of the disrupted video signal, resulting in an undisrupted video signal with a continuous 2-3 field sequence. In this connection, the 2-3 field pattern fixer includes a field sequence detector, a field sequence analyzer, a field sequence generator and a multiple delay tap circuit. The field sequence detector generates field difference values in response to receiving the disrupted video signal. The field sequence analyzer analyzes these field difference values to determine one or more discontinuities within the discontinuous 2-3 field sequence. The field sequence generator generates one or more field sequence correction signals in response to this analysis. The multiple delay tap circuit applies these correction signals to a video signal to generate an undisrupted video signal having a continuous 2-3 field sequence. The 2-3 field pattern fixer can optionally includes a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) memory and a time code comparator, which can be used to store a multitude of the correction signals during the first pass of the two-pass mode, and for synchronizing the application of each of the correction signals to the duplicated disrupted video signal during the second pass of the two-pass mode.
