Signal isolators using micro-transformers

TL;DR: In this paper, a logic signal isolator consisting of a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding, a transmitter circuit which drives said primary winding in response to a received logic signal, such that a signal of a first predetermined type is supplied to the primary winding, and a signal, of a second predetermined type, is provided to the secondary winding.

Chip-scale coils and isolators based thereon

TL;DR: In this article, a coil is used as a magnetic field generating element paired with another coil or other magnetic field-receiving element(s) and isolators can be assembled using such coils with a resultant lower cost.

The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) position sensor for gravitational wave interferometer low-frequency controls

TL;DR: In this article, a low-power, ultra-high-vacuum compatible, non-contacting position sensors with nanometer resolution and centimeter dynamic range have been designed at Virgo as the sensors for lowfrequency modal damping of Seismic Attenuation System chains in Gravitational Wave interferometers and sub-micron absolute mirror positioning.

Improved Single-Element Resistive Sensor-to-Microcontroller Interface

TL;DR: A direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface scheme that compensates the effect due not only to resistances of lead wires but also the effect of microcontroller port pin’s internal resistance and any offset present in those pins is presented in this paper.

System and Method for using Signal Waveform Analysis for Detecting a Change in a Wired Network

Gil Litichever, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analyzer for monitoring a configuration of a wired network medium that is used for communication between multiple devices is presented, where the analyzer is connected to the medium for receiving, storing, and analyzing waveforms of the physical layer signals propagated over the medium.

Plug-and-play

Rahul Patel
TL;DR: In this article, the static support, conflict resolution, and initialization of system board devices are combined into fewer software components having greater product independence, which enhances the robustness of the Plug-and-Play BIOS, and reduces the amount of ROM work required to support each product.
