20150061861 | Electrical Isolation Device - An isolation device is fitted to a mains electrical supply for a hydrocarbon burning appliance and is adapted to operate in response to an audible alarm signal emitted by a separately located detector, typically a carbon monoxide detector, to disconnect the power supply and thereby shutdown the operation of the hydrocarbon burning appliance. This can halt a potentially dangerous build up of CO in the vicinity of the appliance. The device includes a microphone circuit, a lock-in amplifier operable to lock on to a potential alarm signal within the audio signals detected by the microphone circuit, a processing unit operable to monitor the output of the lock-in amplifier so as to compare the potential alarm signal to a stored reference to determine whether it is an alarm signal and a relay operable in response to disconnect the electrical supply of the hydrocarbon burning apparatus. | 03-05-2015 |

20090245789 | Methods and Apparatus for Optical Modulation Amplitude Measurement - Techniques for measuring optical modulation amplitude (OMA) are disclosed. For example, a technique for measuring an OMA value associated with an input signal includes the following steps/operations. The input signal is applied to a photodetector, wherein the photodetector is calibrated to have a given responsivity value R, and further wherein the photodetector generates an output signal in response to the input signal. The output signal from the photodetector is applied to a radio frequency (RF) power meter, wherein the RF power meter measures the root mean squared (RMS) power value of the output signal received from the photodetector. The OMA value associated with the input signal is determined in response to the root mean squared (RMS) power value measured by the RF power meter. The OMA value may be determined as a function of a factor F derived from a relationship between an amplitude of a data signal and the RMS value of the data signal. | 10-01-2009 |

20120256621 | Method and Apparatus for Preventing Contamination from Affecting Magnetic Field Sensors - A magnetic field sensor is employed to determine a rotational velocity of an element by sensing frequency variations in a magnetic flux during rotation of the element. The magnetic field sensor includes a sensor face provided with obstacles, such as a series of spaced, substantially parallel grooves arranged perpendicular to a direction in which contamination tends to move across the face during operation of the sensor. The obstacles inhibit movement of contamination across the face such that the contamination does not cause false variations in the magnetic flux which would degrade sensor signals. | 10-11-2012 |
