Patent AU-6394396-A (AU)
Title: An integrated circuit having enable control circuitry
Inventor: ROOHPARVAR FARIBORZ F
IPC: G11C16/06
Filed: 1996-06-24
Abstract: A circuit which responds to an external standby command (a transition in a chip enable signal from an external device) by generating a delayed internal standby signal. The internal standby signal functions by switching selected components of the circuit (such as address buffers) from an active mode to a standby mode. In preferred embodiments, the circuit is a memory circuit implemented as an integrated circuit. The amount of the delay in generating the delayed internal standby signal is selected to achieve a desired decreased average response time to a sequence of commands (such as memory access commands) without excessive power consumption. In embodiments in which the circuit is a memory chip (such as a flash memory chip) having address access time in the range from 60 ns to 80 ns, the delay typically is from about 100 ns to about 200 ns. In some embodiments, the circuit generates two internal standby signals, one delayed relative to the other, in response to an external standby command (a first type of transition in a chip enable signal from an external device). In these embodiments, a first component receives the delayed internal standby signal (and enters a standby mode in response) and a second component receives the non-delayed internal standby signal (and enters a standby mode in response). In response to an external enable command (a second type of transition in the chip enable signal from the external device), the circuit generates two internal enable signals which enable the first and second components substantially simultaneously.

Title: Closed-loop iv fluid flow control
Inventor: CHO STEVEN T
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2001-07-27
Abstract: In a cosed-loop process, a controller uses a flow sensor to monitor the flow of a medicinal fluid being infused into a patient, to achieve a desired rate of flow. A relatively inexpensive peristaltic pump or electronically controlled valve can be used to vary the flow of the medicinal fluid through a fluid line. A Y site within the fluid line includes an integral flow sensor having an orifice. The flow sensor includes proximal and distal pressure sensors disposed on opposite sides of the orifice to monitor the distal and proximal pressure, producing a signal indicative of the rate of flow of the medicinal fluid through the fluid line. A signal produced by the controller is input to a motor driving the pump or to the valve to vary the rate of flow as required to achieve the desired infusion rate of the medicinal fluid.

Title: Multiple antenna home base for digital cordless telephones
Inventor: WRIGHT DAVID
IPC: H04L1/02
Filed: 1994-09-28
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for combining antenna diversity (10,12) and gain control (15,19,17) in a communications system using a single chain of receiver characteristics. A number of input parameters related to various characteristics of a received signal are used to determine the quality of the received signal. The antenna diversity and gain control procedures are enabled or disabled based on the signal quality. The antenna diversity procedure estimates the signal level of the non-operational antenna using an infinite impulse response digital filter. The gain control procedure selects one of three gain paths based on the received signal strength.
