20090080670 | In-Ear Digital Electronic Noise Cancelling and Communication Device - A noise canceling and communication system is described. An in-ear device is adapted to fit in the ear canal of a device user. A passive noise reduction element reduces external noise entering the ear canal. An external microphone senses an external acoustic signal outside the ear canal to produce a representative external microphone signal. An internal microphone senses an internal acoustic signal proximal to the tympanic membrane to produce a representative internal microphone signal. One or more internal sound generators produce a noise cancellation signal and an acoustic communication signal, both directed towards the tympanic membrane. A probe tube shapes an acoustic response between the internal sound generator and the internal microphone to be relatively constant over a wide audio frequency band. An electronics module is located externally of the ear canal and in communication with the in-ear device for processing the microphone signals using a hybrid feed forward and feedback active noise reduction algorithm to produce the noise cancellation signal. The noise reduction algorithm includes a modeling component based on a transfer function associated with the internal sound generator and at least one of the microphones to automatically adjust the noise cancellation signal for fit and geometry of the ear canal of the user. The communication component also includes a modeling component based on a transfer function associated with the internal sound generator and at least one of the microphones to automatically adjust the communication signal for fit and geometry of the ear canal of the user and to assure that the communication signal does not interfere with the noise reduction algorithm and that the noise cancellation signal does not interfere with passing of the communication signal. | 03-26-2009 |

20130009483 | POWER GENERATOR MODULE CONNECTIVITY CONTROL - A remote resource can be configured to control connectivity of the power generator modules in a string. For example, a respective power generator module can include a current sense circuit that monitors for presence of communication signal. The power generator module can monitor for a presence of a remotely generated control signal over power line that is used by the respective power generator module to convey power to the external load. If the control signal is present on the power line, as generated by the remote resource, the control circuit in the respective power generator module activates the switch to an ON state such that respective activated power generator module is connected in series with the other activated power generator modules. If no keep-alive control signal is detected within a timeout period, the controller deactivates the respective power generator module. | 01-10-2013 |

20100230768 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENTS AND SUPPORT CIRCUITRY - A semiconductor device suitable for use in a pressure sensor is disclosed. A uniformly thin die is provided by chemically etching a backside of a wafer. Piezoelectric elements formed integrally within the die generate electrical signals in response to flexing the die. Conductive leads formed integrally within the die electrically communicate the generated electrical signals to support circuitry formed integrally within the die proximate the piezoelectric elements. In an example embodiment, the piezoresistive elements take the form of silicon resistors formed integrally via doping and diffusion in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. In one application, the die serves as a deformable diaphragm, seated atop an aperture of a threaded pressure sensor housing. | 09-16-2010 |

This can include monitoring the channels of the DC-DC converter for way out of balance (WOB) conditions, and monitoring for a component fault in dependence on detected WOB conditions. A fault can be detected if, during a predetermined period of time, one of the WOB conditions occurs at least a specified amount of times more than another one of the WOB conditions. The DC-DC converter and/or another circuit can be shut-down in response to a fault being detected. Additionally, or alternatively, a component fault detection signal can be output in response to a fault being detected. | 12-16-2010 |
20110121795 | PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY CONTROLLER AND METHODOLOGY FOR AUTOMATIC PHASE ADJUSTMENT OF A PWM OUTPUT SIGNAL - A controller and methodology for a power supply are disclosed. The controller includes output channels for providing a pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage signal for driving a load, for example, a microprocessor. Each channel provides a portion of the PWM signal. The controller receives user input information and uses that information to automatically determine window sizes. A window size defines the maximum output current level for a given window. The controller uses feedback signals to determine the current being drawn by the load, and selects the number of windows and channels that are needed to adequately provide that current. The controller selectively activates and deactivates the output channels accordingly. In response a change in the user input information the controller automatically adjusts the window sizes. | 05-26-2011 |
