87 results about "Electronic feedback" patented technology

Electronic feedback loops are used to control the output of electronic devices, such as amplifiers. A feedback loop is created when all or some portion of the output is fed back to the input. A device is said to be operating open loop if no output feedback is being employed and closed loop if feedback is being used.

Automatic photo-colorimetric paratmeter control device for light boxes with colour leds

The field of the invention is that of light boxes used for illuminating optical-valve displays, especially matrix liquid-crystal displays (or LCDs). The illumination from light boxes can at the present time be produced by light-emitting diodes that emit in various spectral bands so as to reconstruct white illumination. For a number of applications, in particular aeronautical applications, it is necessary to maintain the photometric and calorimetric characteristics of this illumination independently of the environmental and ageing conditions of the components. The invention provides an electronic feedback control device for maintaining the photometric and calorimetric characteristics of this illumination at given setpoint values without introducing disturbing optoelectronic devices into the light box. Several possible technical solutions are described.

Optimized reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer architecture with MEMS-based attenuation or power management

A wavelength selective switch architecture for ROADMs for switching the spectral channels of a multi-channel, multi-wavelength optical signal between input and output ports employs a biaxial MEMS port mirror array for optimal coupling efficiency and ITU grid alignment, an anamorphic beam expander for expanding input optical signals to create an elongated beam profile, a diffraction grating for spatially separating the spectral channels, an anamorphic focusing lens system, an array of biaxial elongated channel MEMS micromirrors, a built-in Optical Channel Monitor, and an electronic feedback control system. The bi-axial channel micromirrors are rotatable about one axis to switch spectral channels between ports, and are rotatable about an orthogonal axis to vary the coupling of the spectral channel to an output port and control attenuation of the spectral signal for complete blocking or for a predetermined power level. The architecture affords hitless switching, near notchless operation, ITU channel alignment, high passband, stability over a broad temperature range, and minimum insertion loss through the optimal optical coupling efficiency enabled by the feedback control system.

Method of Effecting Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiments Using Cartesian Feedback

In nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, Cartesian electronic feedback is used to reduce substantially in transmission and / or reception the deleterious effects of sample-mediated and direct interactions between coils in an array of transmitting and / or receiving coils. The feedback is also used with single or multiple coils to maintain at essentially constant values the relationship between an input transmitter voltage and the magnetic resonance flip angle, and the relationship between transverse nuclear magnetisation and the strength of the free induction decay signal presented by a receiver for analysis, regardless of factors such as sample electrical conductivity.

Electronic percussion device for determining separate right and left hand actions

A percussion electronic device allows a percussionist to learn, through electronic feedback, the correct playing of the right or left hand. The percussion device could be struck by the percussion player on the right or left side of the pad. Alternatively, the percussion device can connect to a visual detector to detect motions of the user's left and right hands. Computer software may display written music or instructions of what hand to play at what time and the percussion device would input the performance of the percussionist into the computer, designating which inputs were from the right hand / side and which inputs were from the left hand / side. Optionally, foot sensors can be used to detect movement of the left and right feet to assist in teaching of instruments such as a drum set where the feet may control operation of instruments such as a bass drum and hi-hat.

Feedback for electronic pre-distortion in an optical transmitter

InactiveUS20160065311A1Accurate estimateReduce and cancel device-specific signal distortionFibre transmissionElectromagnetic transmittersEngineeringElectronic feedback
We disclose an optical transponder, in which one or more all-electronic feedback paths are used to obtain a relatively accurate estimate of the device-specific signal distortions in the transmitter portion thereof. The obtained estimate is used to enable the digital signal processor of the optical transponder to carry out electronic pre-distortion (EPD) that can significantly reduce or cancel these signal distortions without the use of detailed factory-calibration measurements or optics dedicated to feedback purposes. The use of all-electronic feedback paths may enable a beneficial reduction in the cost of the EPD functionality, e.g., by eliminating a significant extra cost associated with the implementation of optically generated feedback.

Injection locking Q-switched and Q-switched cavity dumped CO2 lasers for extreme UV generation

A CO2 laser reference oscillator (RO) can provide injection seeding to a Q-switched (QS) or Q-switched cavity dumped (QSCD) CO2 laser, where the output frequency of the RO laser is locked to the peak of the laser line by the use of appropriate electronics to dither one of the resonator mirrors of the reference oscillator. This injected radiation seeds the radiation building up within the Q-switched laser cavity, such that the oscillating frequency favors the wavelength of the injected radiation. An electronic feedback control circuit can be used to lock an axial mode of the Q-switched laser to line center. The change in build-up time of the pulses within the QS laser can be used to maintain cavity length at a value that enables oscillating at the peak of the same laser line that is injected into QS laser.
