| 20090086879 | SENSOR DEVICE, AND SENSOR SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SENSOR DEVICE - A sensor device which detects a positional relationship between an first member and second member, includes a signal source generating an electrical signal, a first electrode receiving the electrical signal and storing an electrical charge at a first part on the first member, a second electrode inducing an electrical charge at the second part on the second member, a third electrode inducing an electrical charge at the third part on the second member, a fourth electrode inducing an electrical charge at the fourth part on the first member, a reference electrode disposed at a fifth part on the second member to be connected to a reference voltage point, a fifth electrode inducing an electrical charge at the sixth part on the first member, and a differential amplifier amplifying a voltage difference between the fourth electrode and the fifth electrode and outputting a difference signal. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100260311 | ENCODING SYSTEM AND ENCODING METHOD - An encoding system includes an absolute encoder, a converter, a storage system, and a processor. The converter is connected between the absolute encoder and the storage system to determine amplitudes of two encoding waveforms from the absolute encoder when a motor rotates. The storage system determines an angle through which the motor rotates between a first time and a second time, according to the amplitudes of the two encoding waveforms. | 10-14-2010 |

| 20140029714 | DIGITAL PULSE REJECT COUNTER - A system and method are provided for filtering noise from a pulsed input signal comprising cyclically producing a change in an output signal only if changes in an input signal occur at least a desired time after a respective immediately previous change in the input signal, and otherwise rejecting the changes in the input signal; and counting the rejected changes in the input signal. More than one duration or frequency may be used for the filtering, enabling classification of noise by frequency. Resulting counts may be used to determine rates of occurrence of noise for evaluation of performance of equipment, installation of the equipment, and changes in performance over time. | 01-30-2014 |

| 20090016480 | CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR CORRELATED INPUTS TO A POPULATION COUNT CIRCUIT - A circuit includes a plurality of selection circuits. Each of the plurality of selection circuits has a first input, a second input, a control input, and an output. Each of the first inputs receives one of a plurality of correlated signals. Each of the second inputs receives one of a plurality of uncorrelated signals. Each of the control inputs receives a correlation mode control signal, and each of the outputs provides the one of the plurality of correlated signals or the one of the plurality of uncorrelated signals based on the correlation mode control signal. The circuit further includes a population count circuit having a plurality of data inputs coupled to receive the outputs of the plurality of selection circuits. The population count circuit provides a population count for the plurality of data inputs. The population count may be an approximate count or an accurate count. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20110096891 | Dynamic Power Noise Event Counter - An apparatus and method for detecting noise in a power supply voltage. A circuit may include a voltage generation unit coupled to receive a power supply voltage, and a detection unit. The voltage generation unit may generate first and second voltages using the power supply voltage, and may vary the relationship therebetween responsive to fluctuations in the power supply voltage. A detection unit may detect the variations in the relationship between the first and second voltages that result from fluctuations in the power supply voltage. Responsive to detecting the variations, the detection unit may generate pulses to be provided to a counter. The counter may update a count value responsive to receiving pulses. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20130163713 | METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND CIRCUITS FOR BIMODAL DISABLE CIRCUITS - Circuits, integrated circuits, and methods are disclosed for bimodal disable circuits. In one such example method, a counter is maintained, with the counter indicating a logic level at which an output signal will be disabled during at least a portion of one of a plurality of disable cycles. The logic level indicated by the counter is transitioned. An input signal is provided as the output signal responsive to the enable signal indicating that the output signal is to be enabled, and the output signal is disabled at the logic level indicated by the counter responsive to the enable signal indicating that the output signal is to be disabled. | 06-27-2013 |
