Abstract: A method of gain calibration in a SAR ADC (700) comprising the steps of: determining a number of bits of an analog input signal (V 1N ); detecting if a binary code determined from the analog input signal (V IN ) matches at least one trigger code; using at least one setting code to determine a calibration residue signal (V* RES ) and a calibration bit (B* LSB ); analyzing a least significant bit of the digital signal (C OUT ) and the calibration bit (B* LSB ); determining an indication of a presence of gain error in the gain module; and calibrating the gain error. As the determination of the calibration bit (B* LSB ) requires only one additional comparison, when compared to the normal operation, the normal operation does not need to be interrupted. Therefore, the calibration can be done in the background and, as such, can be performed frequently thereby taking into account time-varying changes due to environmental effects.

Abstract: A scanning probe responsive in three axes is provided for use with a coordinate measuring machine. The scanning probe utilizes multiplexing techniques for producing X, Y and Z position signals. The X and Y position signals are indicative of a rotation of a stylus coupling portion about a rotation center, and the Z position signal is indicative of the position of the stylus coupling portion along the axial direction. The Z position signal is substantially insensitive to motion of the axial detection deflector in at least one direction that is transverse to the axial direction. The X, Y and Z position signals may be processed to determine a 3D position of a contact portion of the stylus, which may include utilizing the Z position signal in combination with known trigonometry of the scanning probe to remove axial motion cross coupling components from the X and Y position signals.

Abstract: Described is a method of operating an injection system of a motor vehicle. The angular start and timing of injection pulses within an injection window are determined and corrections with the determined values are carried out by a collision management rule based mechanism upon conflicts between injection pulses by shifting-and/or removing pulses. When doing this, at every step the applied corrections are evaluated with respect to pressure wave influences upon following injection pulses, and the results of this evaluation are used to recalculate the injection timings. Furthermore, an injection system configured to carry out this method is described.
