Abstract: A variable-impedance device is placed in parallel with the input to a variable-gain amplifier, and is controlled so as to provide a substantially constant load impedance to a source. Preferably, the variable-impedance device includes a diode with a variable bias current. This diode bias current is adjusted inversely with the amplifier bias current, such that the parallel sum of the two input path impedances remains approximately constant across a wide range of gain. This variable gain amplifier system is particularly well suited for use in a wireless transmitter, or cellular telephone.

included in humidification control systems which provide a patient (13) with a desired humidity
level or simplify the amount of user input required or wherein the flow sensor (19) provides a
controller (11) with flow information which may then be used to determine certain, possibly
dangerous, conditions (such as incorrect flow sensor placement, breathing circuit disconnected,
no water in the humidification chamber (4) or humidity out of required limits).

Abstract: Described is a system and method by which a collection of
software packages for installing (e.g., on an embedded computing
device) are reviewed for their dependent relations, whereby it
is possible to choose a maximal set of install possibilities to
allow for maximal version updates for any given package in the
fewest update steps possible, while honoring package dependency
constraints. An update validation process organizes and
validates update packages that have been downloaded to a device,
and builds a graph for each group. The graph data including
paths between updates are processed to validate the updates and
to determine a minimal and optimal set of packages that can be
applied to the existing image on the device to produce the
desired update, with the least amount of weight (cost) when more
than one path can be used to get to the same version.
