| 20090306476 | AUTOMATED CONTROL OF IRRIGATION AND ASPIRATION IN A SINGLE-USE ENDOSCOPE - The present invention is an integrated and automated irrigation and aspiration system for use in an endoscopic imaging system. The system provides for the automated cleaning of poorly prepared patients during a colonoscopy procedure as well as automated cleaning of an imaging system of an endoscope. The invention analyzes images obtained from an image sensor to detect the presence of an obstructed field of view, whereupon a wash routine is initiated to remove the obstruction. The wash routine may be adjusted in accordance with environmental conditions within the patient that are sensed by one or more sensors within the endoscope. In another embodiment, insufflation is automatically controlled to inflate a patient's colon as a function of one or more sensor readings obtained from one or more environmental sensor(s) on the endoscope. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20080303703 | Cross-Coupled Switched Capacitor Circuit with a Plurality of Branches - A cross-coupled switched capacitor circuit that has two branches. During a first phase for the first branch, an input voltage is provided that causes charge to move through a resistor and to be placed onto a plate of the capacitor within the branch. An equivalent amount of charge is transferred to an output node. The output node may be a summing node of a sigma-delta modulator. The summing node is one of the inputs to an operational amplifier that is part of the integrator of the sigma-delta modulator. The resistor and the capacitor in the first branch define an RC circuit and corresponding RC time constant. During the first phase, the capacitor does not reach a fully settled voltage for a desired resolution. During the second phase, the capacitor in the first branch of the circuit is set to a defined voltage. The defined voltage may be the settling voltage had the capacitor been allowed to settle during the first phase. The second branch of the switched capacitor feedback circuit operates similar to the first branch, but on opposite phases. By not requiring the voltage to settle during the first phase, power can be conserved, since the integrator of the sigma-delta modulator does not need to operate as fast with respect to movement of charge. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090102551 | OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER WITH IMPROVED CURRENT MONITORING AND SCALABLE OUTPUT - A low-power, low-voltage feedback class AB operational amplifier is disclosed. The minimum supply voltage is one gate-source voltage and two saturation voltages. Currents on the output p-type and n-type transistors are monitored as part of the feedback loop control. Accurate monitoring is achieved by connecting current monitors directly to the corresponding voltage rail. Additional output stages may be selectively connected to the primary output stage to dynamically adjust to changes source conditions. Thus by connecting the appropriate number and type of additional output stages, continuous time adaptive power supply compensation is achieved. Both single ended and differential topologies are described. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090243912 | Automotive Radar Sensor Blockage Detection System and Related Techniques - A blockage detection system and method for use in a sensor such as a side object detection (SOD) sensor in an automotive radar system is described. The sensor emits signals and receives return signals (i.e. reflected signals) from a passing object. If the passing object is within a virtual detection zone, the sensor uses the information from the passing object to determine if a blockage condition exists in the sensor. The technique utilizes statistics related to the passing object to determine whether a blockage condition exists within the sensor. In one embodiment, a SOD sensor mounted in a first vehicle uses information from a second passing vehicle (e.g. radar return information) to determine whether a blockage condition exists within the SOD sensor itself. | 10-01-2009 |
